What's this?
What, what, what?
Oh, it's a love letter.
I think so. Here.
Oh, it's from a girl!
All I ever get are ones from girls.
She's pretty cute.
I thought a creeper like you would like that.
I may be a creeper, but I'm after fully-fledged women!
Besides, I only like pretty, sexy adults!
I don't care about flat-chested little girls!
Right, right.
One day, you understand what it's like to have a face this popular...
Great, I've got ones from even more new boys.
I can't keep track of all the names.
I can't even get my shoes in here today.
These two are just a walking lump of pheromones!

18th sense. "Passionate Love Comes to Light! The Children's Breakup Crisis!"
Still, I kind of understand that.
There's just something different about you three.
Right, right! You seem so grown up.
Me, too?
Yes!
You're so cool, Akashi!
You're just so manly!
Please, see me as a girl! I'll mend my ways!
It's because we've only ever had adults around us. That's all.
No, not just that. We don't pass through
the "darkness of the human heart" like you do.
Oh, but Level 2's like us
can only read the mood of another person's heart.
Right, Chisato?
Why do I sense a horrible darkness all of a sudden?
But you aren't planning on dating anyone now, right?
Of course not! I mean, elementary school boys are just...
Yes! Rare card!
...stupid little kids, from our point of view.
Nobody's very refined.
Oh, I don't think so.
If he was cute and shared my interests, I'd date one.
Really?! Seriously?!
What kind of boy do you like? How about a fat one?
That'd be okay.
Still...
They set the bar so high that no normal boy would ever measure up for them...
Kaoru, you promised Mr. Minamoto
that you wouldn't use your powers at school, remember?
Carry it, like a regular elementary school kid.
My promise expires the moment I step outside the school...
Hey! What's the big idea, stopping short like that?!
Um... Miss Sannomiya?
Did you read my letter, Miss Nogami?
Hige...
I did, but...
Look... Would you come see my game this Sunday?
Sure.
W-Would you come to the planetarium with me?
You'll take me?!
Y-Y-You suddenly have boyfriends?!
Reporting, sir!
Hiroshi Kuroki. Grades: at the top of his class.
Personality: extremely gentle. Main interest: astronomy.
Shogo Hige. All-around athlete.
Extremely popular in his class.
I don't think there's a problem with either of them, sir.
You're naive! Men are wolves!
Be careful!
You must take care when they reach this age!
With their faces that seem like they wouldn't hurt a fly
and their sweet words, they will steal my precious girls away!
Chief, you're overreacting!
We mustn't take them at face value!
Have the surveillance team plant hidden cameras in the boys' rooms!
Is that legal?
FOOL! Don't you care what happens to our national treasures?!
These girls are in a pinch!
Yes, sir...
I'm Kaoru Akashi!
I'll be staying here from now on! How do you do?
I said, "How do you do?"
We'll be friends from now on! Let's be nice to each other!
Which is what I said, but first thing in the morning, they're gone!
Huh? Shiho and Aoi? They left hours ago.
Where to?
Shiho went to see a friend's soccer game,
and I think Aoi went to the planetarium or something.
I see...
Looks like a nice day out.
You seem kind of down, Kaoru. Something happen?
Oh, just the possible collapse of our whole team.
I don't know what's going on here,
but I don't think your friendship can break up that easily.
It's such a nice Sunday. Wanna come shopping with me?
And she's already gone...
PLANETARIUM NANBU
Miss Nogami!
Sorry I'm late!
Sorry. Were you waiting long?
No, and we've got some time before the show starts.
Oh, then why don't we take a walk?
Sure!
I really don't think we should be following them.
We must! Men are wolves!
With their non-fly killing faces and sweet words and stuff like that!
Stuff like what?
Besides, we've always been together.
Them getting boyfriends is like we've suddenly been torn apart.
Getting boyfriends doesn't change your friendship!
Yes, it does!
The three of us will be going home from school, side by side,
and we'll run into their boyfriends and they'll be all "Sorry, catch you later!"
and just leave me there!
Oh, is that how it works?
Tono here! Akashi, this is serious!
Tono! What is it?! What's happened to Shiho?!
You've dragged Tono into this, too?!
It's not like that! This Hige guy's just really good!
He pulled off a hat trick in the first half!
He's the hero of this game.
Nice shot, Hige!
Yeah!
The score's 3-0!
Forget the stupid game! What about Shiho?!
Umm...
Did I screw up our deployment? Handle things here!
The origin of pudding is...
Huh? Akashi.
This is no time to be eating pudding! Where's Shiho?!
Over there. The game just ended.
Good job.
Thanks.
That last shot was amazing!
I was surprised, too.
Maybe I got it in because you were cheering me on, Miss Sannomiya.
That was all you, Hige.
Huh?
You were really cool out there, Hige.
No way! Miss #1 Wicked Girl Character, acting that nice?!
Wicked girl character?
I have another game this afternoon, but...
Maybe I should watch that one, too.
We can go home together when it's done.
Really? Well, in that case...
The two of them, sharing a box lunch,
and me watching them getting all gooey, lovey-dovey!
Shiho, you've gone rotten!
This is stupid and I'm going home now.
Two Crab King cards says you won't!
Yes! I'll do it!
Gimme! Gimme!
Now it's email from Chisato!
He's so nice!
Whoa, Akashi, whoa!
Sorry. I didn't mean to fall asleep before.
Well, I kind of dozed off too, by accident.
Do you go to the planetarium a lot?
Yeah. I'd like to join the space program when I grow up.
You want to be an astronaut?
I'd like to go to space, but I'd be happy to be support personnel, too.
Support?
A lot of people work in the shadows for projects that big.
I may not ever get famous, but...
Yeah. I'd like to become something like that, too.
What gives? Why is she reacting to talking
about such an immature, simple dream?!
Get away from him, Aoi! It's a trap!
Akashi, I really need to go.
Why?! If you leave me alone now, I'll start to cry!
We shouldn't interfere with their date.
Besides.
Besides?
Tono says he wants to hang out someplace.
Sorry! Catch you later!
Agh! There it was! I just got the characters wrong!
This sucks.
This just... This sucks!
This sucks!
This totally sucks!
Chief!
What? Yes?
Don't be so childish. They're good girls, aren't they?
All right, I will accept their relationships with The Children, our national treasures.
However, only if these boys can pass a test of my own devising!
Test, sir?
Order my personal team into action!
Chief!
Call sign, confirmed!
Chief Kiritsubo Assault Unit, A-Team, scramble!
Do everything in our power to stop these elementary school dates!
Seriously?
I go for the second-born son.
He should have a nice car for the date.
And he needs to be rich.
The type who'll slightly spoil a girl.
M-My name's Kuroki!
Excuse me, but my name isn't read as "Hishita."
We've been together, ever since that day.
Why did this have to happen?
You like high places this much?
No, it's not that.
Wait, Minamoto? How'd you know I was here?
Your limiter has a GPS function, too.
Oh.
Wanna get something good to eat?
Gyoza goes best with fried rice, am I right?
I'm Kent! I'm Delica! Let the two of them meet...
That's cool!
How's it dance?
Is it shape memory metal?! It's a triumph of technology, right, Minamoto?!
Okay, where to, next?
Hey! You want to shop some more?
Shopping relieves stress.
In short, it is the essence of a girl's heart.
There are limits to everything!
How many tons?
I wonder what they're doing now.
BABEL-1?
Is there an accident near here?
Chief, what's up?
Communications are blocked.
This is Alpha 1. Target, acquired.
All right, commence the attack!
Roger. Let's go!
You were really cool, Hige.
Because you were cheering me on, Miss Sannomiya.
That's not true.
If I could, I'd have you cheering for me from now on...
Miss Sannomiya!
Bad dog, Rosemary! Running off like that!
Attack, successful! Love confession, averted!
Are you all right, Miss Sannomiya?
Yes.
Hige, do you know about my ESP?
If I touch you, I may read your mind.
I heard, but... I don't really mind.
I think it's cool that you can know my feelings, even without me using words, so...
I don't need to touch you to know you wanted to hold my hand.
Uh-oh! This has just made the mood even more romantic than before!
Squad 2, prepare for attack!
Suppose my level was higher...
Miss Sannomiya?
And with just a touch, I could read all the things
deep in your heart that you wanted to hide...
What? I couldn't hear you.
I said, with just a touch, I could read...
Never mind.
Okay.
Alpha team, disruption of conversation, successful!
Bone conduction mics, and long-range wireless headsets with micro-monitors.
Heavy-duty equipment for a road crew, huh?
Hold it right there!
Yo! Yo! Check me out, baby! Yo!
Hey, baby! Why don't you ditch that loser and give us some lovin'?
You guys are seriously hitting on an elementary school kid?
No holding back with her opinions, huh?
Get lost before I report you!
Could you give us a minute, please?
Just a minute.
What do we do?!
Our mission is to disrupt their date.
I'd gladly sacrifice myself to keep The Children from breaking up!
But have we endured our rigorous training till now just to do this?
Don't say that! This is for our nation!
There's no other path open to us!
Miss Nogami!
If it weren't for my limiter, I could handle these guys without a problem.
In this case, running is the winning move!
Hey!
Hold it!
What are you doing?!
Sorry, sir. We lost the target.
Pathetic! Pathetic!
This is my personal squad?
It can't even disrupt a date?!
Chief.
You people are... Minamoto, what are you doing here?!
I called him.
What is going on here?!
Supervisor Minamoto, you came right in the nick of time!
Wow, that's a lot of spy cams you set up.
It's to ensure the safety of The Children, so...
You mean you're spying on elementary school kids having a date?!
Uh, well...
Too soft... Just watching them is being too soft!
Too soft?
We have to wreck these dates completely!
Akashi, what are you saying?!
Aren't you their friend?!
SHUT UP!
I will save my friends who are lost in this maze called love!
This is the true form of friendship!
The dark side of girl friendship!
She's gone over to the dark side!
Why, Kaoru?!
Shiho!
Aoi!
Sorry. It's like I told you before.
We've been having weird things happen to us, too.
And it's odd that we can't contact Mr. Minamoto.
I think we should stick together from here on.
Kuroki!
H-Hige, what's with you?
Hige!
See, you two?
I'll reveal the true nature of men and ruin your dates!
I call it Operation Men Are Wolves!
Suffer! Struggle! This is your punishment for falling in love!
Aoi! Somebody nearby is controlling them!
I know!
I'm sensing them with my spatial recognition powers!
There!
Uh-oh.
Kaoru!
Crap!
Kaoru!
What's the deal here?
Huh? What am I doing here?
Don't play dumb!
You dragged Hige and Kuroki into this?!
And don't you dare tell us you forgot what you were doing to them!
Wait, please!
There's a reason for this.
We work for BABEL.
Of course you do.
This was all the chief's idea.
Miss Akashi was only doing what the chief asked her to.
She's not at all to blame!
Right! Yes! That!
Liar.
You were just jealous,
so you went along with the chief's plan to ruin our dates.
If I lie, you'll kill me instantly!
Kaoru! You are...
The worst!
The lamest!
The worst! The lamest!
Let's go, Aoi.
Right.
Let's ask Mr. Minamoto to release our limiters so we can get the boys home.
No! This date ends now!
You're still saying that?
As many times as I must!
You are our nation's special espers!
You will not be permitted to fall in love with ordinary people!
This is a gross violation of our human rights!
You think our limiters will hold us back
if we really want to get out of here?!
You leave me no choice.
Activate ECM!
Physically restrain them!
Shiho!
Aoi!
I'm sorry.
I... I forgot!
True friends...
It's friends who understand each others' feelings and trust each other!
And instead, I just...
I just thought of myself!
Okay, you almost have it... There!
Well done! This is power! The power of the State!
The peace of Japan is assured!
Kaoru Akashi! Limiter, released!
<> Kaoru Akashi! Limiter, released!
Get your hands off of my precious friends!
A-Team, what happened?! Come in!
I'd say...
your plan failed, sir.
How?!
Everyone is sick and tired of this stupid operation!
What's stupid about it?!
If we let them date boys, The Children will break up!
Those girls won't betray their friendship over a couple of boyfriends!
B-But...
Chief, do you think a child can trust an adult
who won't trust them in return?
They'll hate you otherwise.
Let's have faith. In those girls' future. They'll hate you otherwise.
Let's have faith. In those girls' future. They wouldn't!
Kuroki...
They're okay, just unconscious.
Shiho... Aoi... I'm sorry!
I was jealous because everyone else had dates.
I felt like I was being left behind!
I'm really sorry!
This was the lamest thing you've ever done.
It's not like you, Kaoru.
The Kaoru we know...
Is hot-headed.
Simpleminded.
Stubborn.
Vain.
Hey...
But manlier than anyone.
The girl who's cooler than anyone.
Those aren't compliments!
But thank you, Shiho! Aoi!
Sorry!
Our date yesterday was so much fun!
But there's someone else that we both like. So...
Let's just be good friends!
See you!
Just...
friends.
I'm so popular!
Still, I wanted to go on a date, too.
You did. With Mr. Minamoto.
What?! Kaoru, you edged us out again?!
What are you talking about? All we did...
was go out to eat, shop, and walk around having a good time...
Wait... That was a date?!
Darn it! I wanted to walk arm in arm,
play tag on the beach, and drink from the same juice with two straws!
Right, right.
Darn it! I'll get 'em next time!
Right, right, right.
