Mental Out 23-B

Chapter 23 Part 2

01

Text: The dorm manager is actually famous on the dark side!?
Yuiitsu: She has spawned countless urban legends.

Yuiitsu: She is feared as the Will o' the Wisp.
Yuiitsu: She is an authority on anti-esper combat.

Yuiitsu: Analyzing her technique and incorporating it into my martial arts...
Yuiitsu: is one of my goals here at Tokiwadai.

Title: Chapter 23 (Part 2)

Yuiitsu: Of course, with abnormal fighting strength...
Yuiitsu: you usually suspect technological buffs here in Academy City.

02

SFX: Fwoosh
SFX: Vanish

03

Yuiitsu: She might be a cyborg...
Yuiitsu: but there's still a romance to it!

SFX: Twirl

04

SFX: Slap

Yuiitsu: Ow...

05

SFX: Bwoosh

SFX: Hop hop

Yuiitsu: Really!?

SFX: Push

06

SFX: Throb throb

Yuiitsu: Her counterattack broke it?

SFX: Drip

Yuiitsu: Well, at least her finger joint is real.

07

SFX: Woosh

SFX: Zwoosh

Yuiitsu: I know she's behind me, but how can I counter that?

SFX: Bwoosh
SFX: Duck

08

SFX: Splat

Yuiitsu: Like this!!

09

SFX: Squeeze

Yuiitsu: Quit blocking when you can't see.

SFX: Spin

Yuiitsu: Demon Head Crusher!!
SFX: Vwoosh

10

SFX: Thud
SFX: Wham

Yuiitsu: That's supposed to break their neck or split their skull...
Yuiitsu: but she flew out ahead to reduce the force.
Yuiitsu(small): God.

DM: What naughty woman.
DM(small): Good grief.

DM: My strength is redirected when I touch that lab coat.
DM: Is it woven with a fiber module?

11

Yuiitsu: How does she move fast enough to get behind me?
Yuiitsu: Does she have ball bearings on the soles of her shoes?

Both: Either way...

Both: I doubt she's using pure martial arts like I am.

Yuiitsu: Now, how to reveal her tricks?

SFX: Chatter

12

Girl: Asato-san!

Girl: Are you listening, Asato-san!?
Asato: Eh? Oh, yes.

Girl: If you're not going to take part, then leave!
Girl: You're killing our morale!

13

Girl: This is our last chance to campaign before the election!
Girl: Keep at it so you'll have no regrets, Kamino Clique!
Clique: Okay!

Girl2: We can't let them outdo the Shokuhou Clique!
Asato: R-right!

Girl: If you have time to zone out...
Girl: it means you have grown complacent as the largest clique!

Girl: I was...
Girl: defeated by you the other day.
Girl: So if we now lose to you in the election...

Girl: Kamino-sama will really let me have it.

14

Girl: No, I'll die.
Girl: She'll murder me.
Kamino: Hee hee hee
Kamino: Care to tell me what you were doing out there?
Asato: Is she that bad?

Asato: I have heard Kamino-san is strict with her clique.

Asato: But as an underclassman, some of the 3rd years probably won't want to do what she says.
Text: *Imagined Scene
Asato: So being strict makes sense.

Asato: But taking that too far...
Asato: breeds resentment.

Asato: I hope it never comes back to bite her.

15

Girl: Something's off about you.
Asato: Eh?

Girl: Are you really THE Asato Kisa?

Girl: The girl I know is a lot more...
Girl: MEAN!
Imagined Asato: Ho ho ho ho
Text: *Imagined Scene

Girl: "Afraid of punishment from an underclassman? Pathetic. Grin, grin."
Girl: That's what I expected out of you!
Asato: Now you're being mean.

Girl: You've changed too much for my liking.
Girl: Or...

Girl: Did Shokuhou Misaki mess with your personality?

Asato: Don't be silly.

16

Asato: Criticizing people's personalities...
Girl: Eh?
Asato: shows a disturbing lack of class.

Asato: And if you have time to worry about my personality...
Asato: it means you have grown complacent.

Girl: D-don't throw my own words back at me!

Girl: I don't like it!
Girl: I shouldn't have worried!!

Asato: Good, I convinced her.

17

Asato: She is right that I've GONE SOFT.
Asato: Because of the restriction placed on me by Mental Out.

Asato: The restriction is removed if I experience enough emotional turmoil...
Asato: but I win if I can keep it around until the set date.

Asato: That is the game...
Asato: I am playing with the Queen.

Misaki: You can't let anyone detect this is my ability at work.
Misaki: But...
Misaki: that gives me too great an advantage.

Misaki: I will make it so that...
Misaki: looking at that clocktower puts the restriction back if it's coming undone☆

18

Asato: It's almost the end of October.
Asato: I can't lose as long as that clocktower remains.

Asato: I will defeat the Queen in this game.
Asato: And...

Misaki: If that will help keep your mind in order...
Misaki: I don't mind.

Girl3: It's an emergency!
SFX: Run run

19

Girl3: There's an intruder at the front gate! The dorm manager is fighting her!

Girl: Fighting?
Girl: Really?

Girl: If she didn't immediately win, something has gone terribly wrong!

Asato: If you aren't mistaken...
Asato: we need a Type 1 combat deployment!

20

Girl: Group 1, hurry to the scene!
Girl: The rest make an emergency announcement and inform the faculty.
Asato: We need to go too.

SFX: Wham
SFX: Slide

DM: How dare you.

21

Yuiitsu: Now, let's get a look at...
Yuiitsu: your anti-esper combat technique.
Text: Immoral logic has worked out the optimal answer. Her Kihara curiosity is out of control!!
