- Margin: Frenda has leaked Item's information to Kakine.
- Frenda: Sigh
- Frenda: In the end...
- Frenda: it was unavoidable.
- 02
- Frenda: I fell for the enemy's trick and gave away our hideout's location!
- Frenda(outside): Ahh, uhhh
- Frenda: Who knows what kind of nasty punishment Mugino will give me if she finds out.
- SFX: Boom
- SFX: Rumble
- Frenda(small): Uh, oh.
- Frenda: It's started
- Far right text: Dedication to the Team
- Right text: Reward
- Left text: Self-Preservation
- 03
- Frenda: Y-yeah, I've gotta run.
- SFX: Zoooom
- Frenda: A few days? A few months? I need to lie low until the heat dies down!
- Frenda: They could all be wiped out after an attack from School.
- SFX: Boom boom boom
- Frenda: Hyah!?
- SFX: Float
- SFX: Thoom
- 04
- Frenda: Mugino!
- Mugino: Ahh!?
- SFX: Glare
- Mugino: Frenda?
- Mugino: You're alive?
- Mugino: Hmm.
- Mugino: Come to think of it, that Dark Matter guy said...
- Mugino: we were all there, JUST LIKE HE WAS TOLD.
- SFX: Tremble tremble
- 05
- Mugino: Frendaaaa.
- Mugino: You know what this means, don't you?
- Mugino: I'm willing to overlook a screwup now and then.
- Frenda: Eek!
- SFX: Turn
- Mugino: But anyone who betrays me won't be so lucky.

- Kakine: What, you came back?
- Kakine: Well, she put up a decent fight for someone with no direct combat ability.
- Kakine: Using her searching ability to hijack her opponent's power was a pretty good idea.
- Kakine: If she keeps growing, she might even become the 8th.
- Shiage: Don't move!
- 08
- Kaibi: I wouldn't do that if I were you.
- Shiage: You?
- Shiage: The crane girl!!
- Shiage(small): You shot at me like crazy!
- Kaibi: We have the Tweezers, so there's no real need to kill an underling like you.
- 09
- Shiage: Huh?
- Shiage: What? I can't shoot.
- Shiage: I don't...
- Shiage: want to shoot!!!
- Kaibi: You're a lot kinder than you look.
- Kaibi: What do you think happens...
- Kaibi: when I make the emotional distance between us the same as with your friends or family?
- Kaibi: For example, if I match it to Takitsubo Rikou there...
- 10
- Shiage: Kh.
- Shiage: Is she some kind of Telepath!?
- Kaibi: My Measure Heart can freely adjust the distances between people's hearts.
- Kaibi: You can't shoot me any more than you could Takitsubo.
- Kaibi: In fact...
- Kaibi: You can't harm me at all, can you?
- Kaibi: I mean, you did come back here for her.
- Kakine: What a joke.
- Kakine: This makes us look like the bad guys.
- Kaibi: Isn't a couple willing to die for each other a wonderful thing?
- Kaibi: It's so rare I kind of don't want to destroy it.
- 11
- Kakine: Yeah.
- Kakine: It's a shame...
- Kakine: that the girl's gonna die.
- Shiage: What do you mean!?
- Shiage: What did you do to Takitsubo!!?
- Kakine: Nothing. She did it to herself.
- Kakine: That's called Body Crystal.
- Kakine: Did you know she was using it?
- Shiage: To activate...
- Shiage: her power.
- 12
- Kakine: Technically, it intentionally causes a rejection reaction to MAKE HER POWER GO BERSERK.
- Text: Experiment to Induce and Analyze Berserk Powers
- Kakine: It's usually a bad thing...
- Kakine: but there are some case where berserk powers work to their advantage.
- Kakine: She must be one of them.
- Kakine: She won't last long in that state.
- Kakine: If she uses that power once or twice more...
- Kakine: she'll break.
- 13
- Kakine: We don't even need to finish her off.
- Kakine: It'd be easier if we did, though.
- Kakine(outside): What to do?
- Kaibi: That search esper messed with your Personal Reality through your AIM, right?
- Kaibi: Shouldn't you get yourself checked out?
- Kaibi: Cause I don't want to die because an ally went berserk.
- Kaibi(small): That scares me more than Item.
- Kakine: Fine, then.
- Kakine(small): Let's go.
- 14
- Kaibi: Share the joy of survival with her.
- Kaibi: Even if she's on death's door.
- 15
- Shiage: Takitsubo.
- Kakine: If she uses that power once or twice more...
- Shiage: It must have been a huge burden already...
- Shiage: but she used it again here.
- Shiage: Dammit!!
- 16
- Saiai: Hamazura.
- Shiage: Kinuhata!!
- Shiage: You came to?
- Saiai: Thanks to you.
- Saiai: I super can't move though, as you can see.
- Saiai(outside): I feel like you super forgot about me being here.
- Shiage: Hey, Kinuhata, what do we-
- Phone: Incoming Call
- Mugino
- Swipe up to answer
- Swipe down to reject
- 17
- Mugino: Haamazuraa.
- Mugino: Is Takitsubo there?
- Shiage: You-
- Shiage: Where are you!?
- Shiage: And you can't speak with Takitsubo.
- Shiage: She collapsed after fighting Kakine!
- Mugino: Quit your whining.
- Mugino: School won't expect a counterattack now.
- Mugino: I'll use Takitsubo's power to track them.
- Mugino: So bring her here.
- 18
- Mugino: She's doing this EVEN IF IT KILLS HER.
- SFX: Beep beep
- Shiage: I have to do this.
- Shiage: I can't leave Takitsubo with Item.
- 19
- Saiai: That's probably the best choice.
- Saiai: Take Takitsubo-san and disappear.
- Shiage: Thanks.
- Saiai: I don't deserve any thanks.
- Saiai: I meant it as an insult.
- Saiai: I'm saying super useless people like you and Takitsubo-san would only get in Item's way.
- Shiage: Is there anything I can do before I leave?
- Saiai: Use Code 52 to contact our support organization and call an evidence cleaning team and an ambulance.
- Saiai: I super can't move.
- 20
- SFX: Vrrr
- 21
- Yomikawa: So...
- Yomikawa: you want me to look after this girl?
- Yomikawa: Do you know what my job is?
- Yomikawa: I can't just say "sure" under such obviously suspicious circumstances.
- Shiage: I can explain everything later!!
- Shiage: I'll even turn myself in!
- Shiage: So please get her away from here immediately and take her somewhere safe!
- Shiage: This isn't normal. She's been using something called Body Crystal and-
- Yomikawa: Body Crystal!?
- Yomikawa: Did you say Body Crystal!?
- Mugino: Haamazuraa.
- 22
- 23
- Shiage: F-
- Shiage: Frenda.
- Mugino: Oh, right.
- Mugino: It turns out she betrayed us and was trying to go into hiding...
- Mugino: so I purged her.
- SFX: Thud
- 24
- Mugino: So.
- Mugino: What's this?
- Mugino: Are you in need of purging too?
- Shiage: Go.
- Shiage: Take Takitsubo and go.
- Shiage: I'll buy you some time.
- Yomikawa: Wait, I couldn't possibly use a child as a shield!
- Shiage: This is beyond that!
- Shiage: Please.
- Shiage: I don't want her to die.
- 25
- Shiage: I could never make up my mind...
- Shiage: but now I know this is what I want to do!
- Shiage: So please go!
- Shiage: I can't protect her on my own!
- Shiage: I need your help!
- 26
- Yomikawa: I'll get her somewhere safe, but I'll be right back with reinforcements!
- Yomikawa: So don't die before that, Hamazura!!
- Mugino: Fighting with your life on the line?
- SFX: Step step
- Mugino: Exciting, isn't it?
- Shiage: I'm not about to throw my life away.
- Shiage: Obwah!?
- 27
- SFX: Cough cough
- Shiage: Th-
- SFX: Gasp
- Shiage: That wasn't her power as a Level 5!
- Shiage: That was just her arm!
- Shiage(small): Is she a gorilla!?
- Mugino: Tch.
- Shiage: You sure you don't need to finish me off!!?
- 28
- Mugino: Wait.
- Mugino: Is that...!?
- Mugino: You need this for her to use AIM Stalker, don't you!?
- 29
- Shiage: I lost her.
- Shiage: Ha.
- Shiage: Ha ha ha
- Shiage: Take that, you bitch!
- 30
- SFX: Creeeak
- Shiage: Whoa!
- Shiage: Owww.
- 31
- Mugino: You. Are. So. Dead.
