Episode 11 Welcome, Minami!
Reporting in.
Minami Wakaba has returned to normal.
My life's been a rollercoaster ever since moving here.
Visiting the pool in the morning has become my escape.
I come here to meet with Aoi Mizusawa,
but the real goal is this peaceful moment of sweet, sweet drink.
That's what you say, but you're only after the swimsuit!
Far from peaceful.
Can't deny it.
Ah, there you are.
Opario!
Oh.
Opario!
Morning!
What?!
– Opario! – Opario!
Hey...
Here, have some breakfast!
Thanks for saving my flowers.
What an awkward way of thanking him.
There she is!
She told me you always meet here in the morning.
Then, me too!
Minami, lifting off!
So she was wearing something.
An interesting turn of events.
To think that even Minami Wakaba would vie for my attention...
Um, she just wanted to use the pool.
Well, it makes sense that she's interested in me.
Because in the last episode...
I saved her mother's flowers.
Yeah, but...
As a result...
Minami Wakaba presented me with a wonderful gift.
Oh? What?
Take a look at this.
This is where I took a bite.
But here...
Right here...!
That's where Minami Wakaba took a bite.
We can deduce that she's unconsciously opened herself
to the idea of an indirect kiss.
First Aoi Mizusawa and now Minami Wakaba...
The doors to my golden age have finally blasted open!
I took that bite.
Stop blushing!
I'm so popular. My time has finally arrived!
I captured an alien!
If only the pool was made of sweet red bean soup too...
More like if it was only filled with popcorn!
I can't believe you're eating ice cream.
Don't you get brain freeze?
Well, yeah— Ugh!
Huh?
You okay?
He was beaten to a pulp yesterday, resulting in a few injuries.
Oh no! Was it to save my flowers?!
Yeah...
Thanks! I'll give you a massage!
Stop! Please!
My, your muscles are tense.
Yet another awkward way of thanking him.
So, Minami's going to join our MS team!
Looking forward to it!
– Likewise. – Likewise.
Only Akira's left...
But...
we've played MS without four players many times already.
Do we have to have four?
In MS a team can only reach its full potential with four players.
That's right!
Then...
why don't we look for a player besides Akira?
That's true...
But our previous team with Akira
and Haruma as our leader
was an awesome team.
Honestly...
It was a super, duper, super, awesome team!
I'm not sure I get it...
How unique!
It was exciting.
So exciting!
It made me want to sling forever!
But Haruma left for Tokyo out of the blue.
Without a word to us...
I wonder what Haruma's up to.
Akira.
You know about Minami's mother's flowers, right?
Sure.
They almost got destroyed in MS.
But Ren saved them without a Strike Ring,
stopping a monster with his body.
It hurts!
How's it over here?
That hurts too!
I understand that you don't want to team up with Ren.
Haruma was amazing.
Ren isn't Haruma.
Even so, when I play MS with Ren,
I feel that long-lost excitement again.
Stop poking me!
Here? Here?
The ball's my friend, the ball's my friend.
Blast off!
Teehee!
It's dangerous there.
Roger!
Minami coming through!
Wait!
Something's been bothering me.
How did Minami and the others get possessed?
Seems like it started at a certain time.
Wasn't Minami Wakaba strange from the get-go?
Now that I think about it, it was around the time you appeared!
Is that so?
Yeah!
But I'm just a harmless, charming mascot...
and I fit in so well.
Of course I have nothing to hide!
Why are you here in the first place?
You're suspicious...
Me?
To be continued
Oragon's secrets revealed next time?!
Don't say it yourself...
