Great job, girls!
Naomi, what's the situation?
No ECM reaction.
Okay, charge in there!
Yes, sir!
Hold it right there, you criminals!
I can see where you're hiding!
Take this!
You won't escape!
What's that noise?
What's going on?
All right, all right! We surrender!
Mission, accomplished.
Darn it!
We can't do this!
Why do we have to play the criminals?
Understanding the criminal's thoughts is part of the training!
Besides, you all learned quite a bit, didn't you?
About Naomi's beauty, wisdom, and superiority!
Yes! You all are like fairies who live in that lake!
I'm flying, I'm flying!
Find any fairies in the lake?
Dammit, Minamoto said he had important duty today, but...
Wanna go spy on him?
We can't! He said we were to absolutely stay away from him!
Saying no just makes you even more curious, right?
Exactly!
I wonder what he's doing.

Is there something here for us at the special research facility?
28th sense: "A Lady's Special Charms! Tsubomi Kiss Alert" Is there something here for us at the special research facility?
28th sense: "A Lady's Special Charms! Tsubomi Kiss Alert" No, it's just time for us to awaken her.
"Her" who?
Vein identification, confirmed.
Retinal identification, confirmed.
The Children are incredibly good kids!
Chief, who are you talking about?
One of the key founders of BABEL.
She's been sleeping for nearly 10 years.
Huh? 10 years?!
Except, this is a bit difficult to explain...
"Curse you who disturbs my slumber."
Apparently, there's hell to pay if you awaken her carelessly.
But, this time, it's okay.
You heard her voice before, didn't you?
Voice?
Who's there?
Yes, hello? Mr. Glasses Guy?
From before!
Um... It's me, Kiritsubo.
Can I help you?
Thanks for your help before.
The former director left orders to wake you...
Ugh, I just woke up to use the toilet. The former director left orders to wake you...
Ugh, I just woke up to use the toilet. if the major made any moves, so...
Wake me up next month. if the major made any moves, so...
Wake me up next month.
Anyway, bye-bye! Um, even if you say that, I still have to...
Wait!
You couldn't wake her up, could you?
Um, does this person here have something to do with Major Hyobu?
Very much so.
She was his former colleague.
Colleague?!
You mean she's over 80 years old?!
Without her help, capturing and confining Major Hyobu would have been impossible.
We have to awaken her at once if we ever hope to stop PANDRA!
Shut up! You're keeping me awake!
She sounds like she's in a pretty bad mood.
Maybe we should leave for today.
Warning. Warning.
Intruders! Intruders!
Wh-What the?!
You girls!
Heh-heh, we tagged along.
I told you not to, didn't I?!
But we missed you!
Mr. Minamoto is my destiny!
Get out of here, now!
Come on, Minamoto. You missed us too, didn't you? Well?
That doesn't matter!
It doesn't, huh?
Minamoto!
Well, you reap what you sow.
What?
Ooh! You are such an adorable little man!
Oh, did you sneak into my bedroom just to see little old me?
WHA?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Wait, are you really 80 years old?!
I don't like to talk about my age.
Oh, no! Mr. Minamoto's being molested by some woman!
Huh?! What are you doing, Minamoto? Get out here, now!
No! Wait! Stop!
Good morning!
Who's this?
Y-You're awake, Director Fujiko Tsubomi?
Yes, wide awake!
Thank goodness. Well, let's get to HQ at once!
I'd like some breakfast before that.
Director!
Yummy!
What... the hell?
I love young guys! Drained so much, and he's still good to go!
Hey! How are you still good to go
after getting sexually harassed by that woman?!
Um, what's that supposed to mean?
Dunno.
Oh, hello! I know all about you girls!
You and this guy are like "that", right?
N-No, we're not!
There's no way we could! They're still just little kids!
Little kids?
What's going on in there?!
Look out! Naomi!
I will die as many times as it takes for you!
You wanna die for me that badly?
This is terrible!
Did we get her, Kaoru?
No, there no resistance.
Just as you'd expect of a Level 7 psychokinetic.
Why, you!
Kaoru, don't! This is!
Let's be friends, Kaoru Akashi, dear.
Psychometry?
Kaoru!
H-H-Hold it!
Which leaves...
Pardon the wait!
You're not waiting! You aren't waiting at all!
What happened?!
Is everyone okay?
What a yummy-looking dessert!
NO!!!
My first kiss...
And it was from some 80-year-old lady...
Now I'll never be a bride.
Mother, I'm sorry...
Don't be so melodramatic. I was just saying hello!
Just a hello.
Her power is to drain energy via touch.
Meaning, she's even more dangerous than Major Hyobu.
I'm not sure if having her as an ally is a good thing or a bad thing.
Are these all the reports filed while I was asleep?
Yes, ma'am.
Antagonism between espers and Normals is growing, huh?
Fujiko's gonna be busy, huh?
Please ask us if you need any more detailed data.
Well, there's something I'd like to know immediately.
Yes?
Tell me what kind of makeup you're using!
Makeup must have advanced over the past 10 years, right?
This lip gloss has pearl in it. It makes your lips so shiny!
Oh, that's adorable!
And this is super-long lash mascara.
This color's pretty nice, too!
Let's do more girl talk later!
Okay!
Oh, that was fun.
Now, then...
Stupid man...
Even now, all you do is look at an unreachable past and future.
I see. Her age stasis is a secondary effect
of her energy absorption powers.
The nature of the ability adds the energy to her existing powers.
Those powers being...
This is!
Exactly.
The same as The Childrens'.
D-Director!
And under certain conditions, I can achieve nearly Level 7 power.
Like a momentary maximum wind speed in a typhoon.
By the way, could you call me Fujiko-chan?
Or Tsubomi, at least.
I... I couldn't!
Also... There's one more thing I'd like to discuss.
My first kiss!
Just think of it like getting bit by a dog. Let's forget about it.
Like I'd forget being bit by a dog?!
Aoi, you're too girly. It was just a kiss.
Big illusions about them just make the real thing disappointing.
There. Logic from the psychometrist who thinks she knows about love.
Shiho, was that really your first time?
Still, we have to be careful around that woman.
She looks pretty tough.
Which is why she keeps teasing us!
And Minamoto...
Exactly.
So, we need to get her trained, fast, right?
Huh? What did you just say?
I'm saying, won't you resign as The Children's supervisor?
An official order from Fujiko.
Why would you order that?!
Out of the blue? For no reason?
There's a reason.
At the rate you're going,
The Children will end up exactly as Hyobu wants them.
As Hyobu wants?
It's too much for you, isn't it?
You haven't the strength or the determination to change destiny.
It's completely afternoon! Let's play outside!
Soft and shiny lips!
I don't have the power to change destiny?
Fate...
What do you mean?
Who can say? Fujiko doesn't really know.
How much does this old lady know?!
And with that, it's time to for your reassignment!
W-Wait, please! I!
A civil servant can't disobey orders!
Bye-bye!
Now then, I wonder what changes this will bring.
This is tyranny!
Mr. Minamoto's been what?!
Reassigned?
Research and Development suddenly needed him.
Is that true?
Shiho, that's against government service regulations!
Be honest with us! The old lady did this, right?!
No violence, either!
This is your precious bonsai tree, right, Chief?
Oops! It slipped.
No! Stop!
No threats, either!
We're not just going along with this!
Yeah! Mr. Minamoto promised us!
That he'd stay with us forever.
I know, I know.
But the director apparently has other ideas, so...
Please? Please? Just bear with it for now, okay?
I promise, I'll eventually do something about it!
And how long is "eventually"?!
In any case, deal with it for now!
The truth is, we have a request from Precog devision.
All right.
But we're taking care of this once we're back!
Right! Good girls! And do a good job with your new supervisor!
New supervisor?
So, this morning's group training has borne fruit already!
So, without further ado...
Naomi and The Children!
Released!
<>
Pure, righteous, and wild!
Absolutely not going along with this!
Destiny? It feels kind of depressing!
The future is in the hands of the powerful!
The honest, upright Wild Cat, and...
The Absolutely Lovely Children!
An oil leak is going to cause a tanker to explode.
We have more than 30 minutes till the accident.
Take care of this calmly.
Yes, sir!
Doesn't this seem weirdly quiet?
Yeah. It doesn't feel like anyone's aboard.
Strange... There's no trace of an oil leak.
No one's home.
What's going on?
Could this be some sort of trap?
You don't suppose...
I've been waiting for you!
Minamoto! What are you doing here?!
Hey, Minamoto!
Sakaki...
What are you doing here?
I'm a doctor, so I have to show up in R&D once in a while.
But I didn't expect to find you here!
Sakaki!
Huh?! Hey!
You have a non-BABEL issued cell phone, right?
Y-Yeah?
The number you have dialed is restricted.
This phone will be automatically destroyed
under National Security laws.
Damn. That's no good, either.
Hey! Why'd you do that?!
I had a ton of girls' addresses on that thing...
I can't contact The Children.
This is all the director's doing.
Director?
She's completely separated us! I can't take this lying down!
Those girls and I aren't government property!
Minamoto, I don't know the details of what's going on,
but right now, you're being watched.
Opposing the higher-ups isn't just gonna get you fired.
It'll mean arrest... Imprisonment... Possibly executed, right?
Come on, you get a nice salary. Just stay here and be a good boy!
Yeah, you're right!
Help me, Minamoto!
Help me!
What's?
Minamoto?
These images!
I'm not imagining them or hallucinating, am I?!
Yeah, they have that kind of power.
Sending a sense of foreboding isn't too surprising.
Has something happened? I have to go to them, now!
Sakaki, help me.
Naomi! Children! Come in! What's happened?!
It's on fire!
What on Earth?!
Are the girls who went in all right?!
I don't know! Naomi! Children! Come in!
Please! Answer me!
Why, you!
Oh, why so mad? I thought you'd be happy.
Get real! So, you are the enemy, aren't you?!
EAT THIS!
Kaoru!
How dare you!
Don't underestimate us!
Still want to fight?
Darn it!
Oh, don't look so mad! I'm doing this for your sake.
Are you teasing us?!
Oh, well. Then I'll tell you something that'll prove I'm on your side.
Minamoto is on his way here right now!
Hey! Do what I say!
Otherwise, I'll kill him!
Save me!
He's willing to disobey orders to save you girls.
Is that true?
Yes. His heart nearly broke from worrying about you girls.
But don't you think there's a problem here?
Problem?
In the end, The Children are simply children to him.
Like little sisters.
Of course, in a few years, he may realize it.
That you all have grown into lovely women.
But then, it'll be too late.
Where is everyone?!
Snap out of it!
Minamoto...
Mr. Minamoto...
I... I'm not gonna make it...
That can't be! I'll get you to the hospital now!
No, just hug us, like you're doing now...
Like a lover... Please! Just for now...
Not just for now.
We've been that... And we always will be...
Minamoto!
Mr. Minamoto...
I've been a fool.
Only now, when I'm about to lose you, do I see.
I love you... As women.
Um, hold it. Don't you think that's a little much?
Not at all!
NAOMI!
My Naomi!
Only now, when I was about to lose you, do I see!
I love you! As a woman!
Je t'aime!
See?
He's an exception! AN EXCEPTION!
There you go.
Things will absolutely work out. Good luck!
Okay!
Director Tsubomi!
What do you think you're doing?
Disobeying Fujiko's orders and coming here?!
I want you to tell me exactly what your feelings are!
My relationship with The Children isn't just a professional one!
What you need right now
is a love so strong it'll let you change destiny.
And no order is going to keep us apart!
I see.
It may be small, but if that seed is there, I'll nurture it.
But the problem here is those girls.
GALLEY But the problem here is those girls.
GALLEY
TOMATO SAUCE
Maybe it needs to be more realistic.
G-Girls!
What are you doing?
Huh?
You're already here?
I'm not finished!
Man... They're such kids!
Minamoto...
My examination has revealed that The Children
don't have a scratch on them!
Sorry.
But it's good that we're okay, right?
Yes! Thank goodness!
A happy ending!
Meaning I ended up getting played by EVERYBODY!
No, I was only following orders!
Minamoto, don't be so mad!
It was your fault, too, Mr. Minamoto.
Yeah, the way you always say we're little kids.
But we forgive you.
We're even, now.
Right, so let's just put this whole thing behind us.
Don't be ridiculous!
What were you doing in the middle of an important mission?!
And you were having fun by making me worry?!
What do you think of me...
I mean, what do you think of this job?!
If you want to do that, then find yourself a new supervisor!
Huh? Hey, Minamoto!
Let go! I've had enough! Screw this job! I quit!
Minamoto, I know how you feel, but!
Just let the director explain!
Mr. Minamoto!
