So, that's the Yama-no-Oku hot spring resort.
Where our quarry lies.
BABEL! I have decided to take the special espers
on a company trip to the Yama-no-Oku hot spring resort!
A special esper company trip?!
Why this, out of the blue?
As a bit of thanks, because you've all been working so hard lately.
But, why a whole company trip just to thank The Children?
Well, since they're going anyway,
it'd be more fun if we all went along, right? Right? RIGHT?
Right! It'll be fun if you come along too, Chief!
Oh, you're just humoring me. But I don't mind.
I'll be happy just to go to the resort with you.
Time to get going, Chief.
Huh? You mean right now?!
Let's be off!
Yay! Hot spring!
At that time, no one imagined
that what we thought would be a relaxing trip
would turn out the way it did.
It's pretty awesome, invincible power!
Boy, does it feel great
Absolutely lovely! So we never lose!
Come on, let's head for tomorrow!
Zettai Karen Children
Yeah!
Zettai Karen Children Absolutely!
Zettai Karen Children
Daring!
It just takes a touch for me to know
The limiter on my heart
Has been released, and then you see
Yes! Change the world!
Trying again and again through hot battle!
Reaching through what's real
Absolutely lovely! So we never lose!
The thrills just can't be beat!
Courage begins to light the darkness of the world
It overflows with the miracles you gave
If you can take pride in a smile
That suits no one else
Then let's go beyond the future now
We can try over the future world!
Yeah!
Ultimate!
Daring!
11th sense. "Open Air Bath! Glinting Eyes in the Steam!"
This is the first company trip I've taken since joining BABEL.
I haven't been to a hot spring in ages!
Naomi?
Yes, Supervisor?
You can sit next to me.
No, thanks.
A hot spring adventure!
My heart swells with the possibilities!
It's nice how happy everyone seems about this, Chief.
It was worth planning this.
Oh, I can't wait to get to the hot spring!
You're looking forward to it that much?
Considering all the pretty girls we have going with us!
Creepy old guy.
Everyone, all together, now!
Yeah! Ultimate!
Daring!
YAMA-NO-OKU HOT SPRING RESORT
Welcome, visitors from BABEL!
Welcome to the Yama-no-Oku hot spring resort!
This place isn't half bad!
Nothing like a little government profligacy!
I'm amazed you even know that word!
Sir, I'm sure I don't need to tell you
that this inn is completely reinforced against esper powers.
It's impossible to use them to peep in on the ladies baths.
Well, I'd never use my powers to...
Wait, why are you telling that to me specifically?!
Because you look like the peeping type.
That is just slander!
The yukatas in the men's bath have disappeared again.
Huh? Again?
How many replacement yukatas have we gone through so far?
Hot springs! Hot springs!
You're so excited about this, Kaoru.
Of course I am! It's a hot spring!
I am gonna see so many hot chicks in there!
Wow, look how big that lady's breasts are.
Lemme see!
Seriously, they're huge!
So, these are Japan's Level 7's, The Children.
The warm glow of her skin from just getting out of the bath...
Oh, if we'd just gotten here a little sooner, we could have bathed with her!
You'll get another chance later.
An encounter with a boobulous lady!
One of the conventions of a hot spring!
Conventions? What are the others?
A hot spring resort is guaranteed to have an open air bath!
Wow, that feels so good!
Additional point: girls who wear glasses will wear them into the bath.
Ah, it feels so nice.
A normally reserved girl will find herself more at ease.
Above all, girls will act much flirtier than necessary!
Oh, lady, your boobs are so big! Can I just touch one for a sec?
Oh, no! You naughty boy!
Aw, just for a sec! It won't make them shrink!
Oh, well. Just for a second.
Don't mind if I do!
Looks like fun.
Leave it to the only creepy old guy in elementary school.
And yet you all just sit there, like laid-back lumps!
C'mon, dial the voltage up! Get flirty!
Even saying that...
I'm not getting flirty.
What's the point of coming to a hot spring if not to be laid back?
And be sure not to bother the other guests.
The conventions of hot springs!
Oh, you're getting flirty, even if I have to make you do it!
What's Kaoru up to now?
With hot springs, you get to take a bath and swim at the same time!
Two birds with one stone!
"Two birds with one stone"?
I know they're big, but you shouldn't swim in the baths.
Oh! Excuse me!
Enjoy yourself, please!
See you in the bath, Chief.
Right.
Sorry.
No worries. Sorry, too.
That man...
What's up? That man...
He's an esper. And a powerful, too.
Why's he here?
He's probably not on a company trip, like us.
More action on the ladies side, isn't there?
What are they up to?
GLINT!
How relaxing.
Indeed.
And how.
Okay! Let's see if the esper countermeasures really are perfect!
Damn, no good! Um, I mean, they're flawless!
Meaning the hostess was totally right about you, huh?
So, the ladies can bathe in peace.
Just as I'd expect of the Yama-no-Oku hot springs!
Mi-na-mo-to!
Kaoru! What are you doing?!
Peeping is a hot spring convention.
One we don't need! Now get back over there!
Of course! ESP peeping may be out, but normal peeping is possible!
Is that something to be proud of?
C'mon, Minamoto, you can peep a little if you want.
Like you usually do.
Like he usually does?
Stop making things up about me!
Minamoto! You do that all the time, do you?
Chief, you got me all wrong! I'd never peep at them!
NO EXCUSES!
Don't bother the other guests, Chief!
GLINT!
Ah! Natsuko and Hotaru! Good job!
When surprised, for some reason, you jump up out of the bath!
Another hot spring convention!
Forget the conventions. What's wrong?
I sense somebody looking at us!
And I thought I saw some sort of glint.
A peeper?
We seem to be the only ones here, though.
This place is esper-shielded, so nobody can peep in from outside.
Man, that was a great bath!
But man, the other stuff that happened really wiped me out.
Did she wander into the men's area by mistake?
What's wrong?
My... My yukata's gone!
Wha? Mine, too!
Could she have?
What's wrong?
Nothing. What's wrong?
I'll get some replacement yukatas for you.
Aaah! I feel alive again!
You're really working the old guy thing today, Kaoru.
Still, why would somebody take our yukatas... Ah! Unless!
Naomi, if you wanted my yukata, you should have just asked me directly.
I didn't take it!
Maybe they were taken by mistake.
No, in that case, there'd be yukatas left from whoever took them.
I think we should view this as someone took them specifically.
You said you sensed someone looking at you in the women's bath, right?
We saw a glint of light, too.
From eyeglasses, or maybe sunglasses.
Sunglasses...
Enjoy yourself, please!
The guy in the sunglasses and the lady with the big-
Ahem! And that foreign lady.
We should investigate, just to be sure.
So everyone can relax and enjoy your baths.
Okay!
And you girls, don't go off on your own.
If you find out anything, tell me at once.
Okay!
Is it too hot for you, Moga-chan?
I'm Moga-chan! My daddy runs an IT company!
I wonder if everyone's in the hot springs now.
A company trip, huh?
I'm the only one who wasn't invited.
That's really sad, huh?
You have no friends, do you?
That's a really nice doll. Did you make it yourself?
I'm not a doll!
That's a nice one you made, yourself.
Oh, you can tell?!
I'm Moga-chan! My daddy runs an IT company!
Yes. She's imbued with a soul. A magnificent thing.
Really? You really think so?!
I modded her from a limited edition model,
but I'm sure I can perfect her even more, and!
Remarkable.
But there are so few people who understand how remarkable you are.
True comrades should respect each other equally.
If I had a company trip... I'd invite you.
You are such a nice guy!
You're too kind.
I don't like him.
What emerges from the gap?!
I want to be class rep!
There he is! C'mon!
There she is.
Miss Boobulous!
She headed into the baths again?
Okay, let's follow her and go in, too!
Me, too!
We have to tell Mr. Minamoto!
After I get a look at those boobs!
Count me in.
These Japanese Level 7's are just kids. No match for me.
AJIJIMAN SOBA NOODLES
Welcome!
Yes! Mixed-bathing with Miss Boobulous in an open-air bath!
No, no, no, it's not mixed.
Here you go.
Huh? She's gone. Where's she hiding boobs that big?
Maybe she's in the toilet.
She'll probably come if we wait in the bath.
Oh! This is sauce!
Clairvoyance! So, he must have been the peeper in the ladies bath.
Was he?
This resort is shielded from letting you peep in with psychic powers.
That's true, but...
Wow! That's true, but...
The sauce is dripping through the dish! Oh, my God!
Um, you're supposed to dip the soba in the sauce and then eat it.
Hey! Minamoto! Um, you're supposed to dip the soba in the sauce and then eat it.
Oh...
Delicious! This is the wabi-sabi of Japan's heart!
I'm so moved! My heart sings!
Did he mean wasabi?
What he said isn't entirely wrong, though.
Man, I can't wait to see those huge boobs!
I want to feel them!
I'll bet they totally cushion her whenever she falls!
Huh?
Aoi? Shiho?
Psychokinesis?!
But who's doing it?!
Hi!
An esper!
Your friends won't be bothering us now.
I have ESP locks on them!
Why, you...
Wearing a swim suit into a bath! Obey basic manners, you idiot!
Says you.
Oops! Beg your pardon. However...
You wanna take me on? Well, you've got guts.
Come forth, Water Dragon!
You told me to obey basic manners, didn't you?
But you're wearing your kimono in the bath!
Darn it, if it weren't for my limiter, I'd!
Kaoru! Kaoru!
I guess we should have told Minamoto about this.
What are you doing to our Children!
Minamoto...
You okay, Kaoru?
Kaoru!
How dare you do that to a lady's face!
Why, you... Don't be so full of yourself, just 'cuz your boobs are kinda big!
Kaoru, stop!
But, she!
Even if you wanted to test yourself against them, that went too far!
Minamoto?
Stop!
Yes, stop!
Mary, we don't want to cause any more trouble with our allies!
Ken!
Ally?
Minamoto is our friend!
Friend?
I made friends with him while you were fighting.
Comericans can forget to be nice to people they don't know.
You're very kind to strangers.
Oh, it was no trouble, really.
How do you do...
Mr. Minamoto, on-site supervisor for BABEL's The Children, right?
What's going on?
Who are you?!
I'm It. Ken McGuire, assigned to Comerica's Japan esper team.
And I'm It. Mary Ford, also on the team.
We came here on business,
and by coincidence spotted BABEL's Children here, too.
Japan's espers are no threat to me, are they?
Try me sometime when my limiter's released!
Kaoru, stop!
Kaoru's right!
We'll take you on anytime!
Don't provoke her!
But...
These girls are top-level espers! Insult them and you'll regret it!
I guess it's true that Japan is full of lolicons.
Hey! That's slander!
So, your business is?
We're chasing criminals.
Criminals?
Our mission is part of an international pursuit
of criminals of Comerican citizenship.
Ow!
Mimicry!
An esper!
Peeping at us?!
Meow.
Oh, it's a cat.
YOU SERIOUSLY THOUGHT WE'D FALL FOR THAT?!
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
He's the one we're after!
You won't escape!
Help me, Lige!
Muto, we gotta run!
Another boobulous foreign girl?!
Careful! They're gonna teleport!
That's a friendly way to run, huh?
Can't be more than Level 3.
COME BACK HERE!
My collection of yukatas worn by middle-aged men!
She likes old guy yukatas?!
People like that exist?!
That explains where all the men's yukatas were vanishing to.
Let's run!
Right... Children, released.
<>
This is a world of relaxation!
Criminals who disturb its peace...
Will be finished in a businesslike way!
The Absolutely Lovely Children!
Special espers: The Liberty Bells!
We're perfect partners who cover each other's strengths and weaknesses!
You'll never catch us!
Water Dragon!
PSYCHIC CRIMINAL EXTERMINATION ATTACK!
Ah! Stop it!
You have the right to remain silent!
Your rights will be protected according to the Comerican Constitution!
With espers like that,
it must be hard to shield this place from peepers!
You're one to talk.
Everyone, dinner's ready!
Really? Why don't you two join us?
Your words are music to my ears!
And now, a toast to the meeting of BABEL with Ken and Mary!
Cheers!
As thanks for catching those pervert espers,
your meal's on the house!
Yay!
It's o-daikan play! Please, forgive me!
You're just as much to blame!
Lame!
THIS is what real o-daikan play looks like!
Kaoru, cut it out!
Oh! Impressive! But I will not be beaten!
By the way, where are the geisha?
Geisha?
I hear that geisha play baseball at Japanese banquets.
Strip Baseball?!
Let's do it, Minamoto!
Cut... it... out!
C'mon! Nothing to be ashamed of!
Um, what's "strip baseball"?
Dunno.
Naomi.
Um, yes?
We're forming a bond that goes beyond supervisor and esper.
Almost like family, don't you think?
Hm... Like family... I suppose so.
Yes, I'd definitely have to say we are.
Right. Family. In that case, Naomi...
Let's get into the family bath!
Get lost, you drunken old fart!
Oh, one of those Japanese tsunderes I've heard about!
No.
Minamoto? Minamoto, are you in?
Would you like to take a little walk?
If you want Minamoto, he isn't in there.
Natsuko!
We agreed, no pulling any end runs!
Um, uh, whatever could you mean?
I can't let my guard down around you for an instant, can I?
Oh, you're just mad because you couldn't do it first, huh, Natsuko?
WHAT?!
What?!
But, where can Minamoto be? But, where can Minamoto be?
Whew! I can finally relax.
Oh, it's you. Don't scare me like that.
Hey! This is the men's bath!
Don't be greedy! Let us in, too!
Nobody else is around.
We can do what we like.
Jeez...
Oh, I feel alive again!
You're doing the creepy old guy thing, Kaoru.
Oh! Look, it's so pretty!
Well, I guess doing this once in a while isn't so bad.
You think the towel is just getting in the way.
Hey! Shiho!
Mr. Minamoto, you creep! That's dirty!
What, Minamoto? If you wanted to see, you should've just asked.
Cut it out, you idiots!
Quit making up stories about how people feel!
Wow, Minamoto. That was unexpected.
That was another hot spring convention.
There's no point in hiding it
I know everything
It's no mystery, because
I love you
Go on, look at me
Truly, the bond of love we share
Is absolute!
An eternal, unchanging
Absolute declaration to the world I'll shout from Everest!
I've accepted it
The bond of love we share
Is absolute!
My wish, when fortune smiles on me
In San Pietro, I'll swear it to you
An absolute declaration of love!
