  95.  
  96. Komaki: They forced their way in, insisting they would behave themselves.
  97. Kuroko: Those two always bring trouble, so I am a little worried.

  111. Bottom left box: Elector
  112. Tatsuki Mirei
  113.  
  114. Misaki: They're clearly discussing something. Shouldn't you stop them?
  115. SFX: Whisper whisper whisper
  116. Senju: The witnesses cannot interfere.
  117. Box: Witness
  118. Senju Kaina
  119.  
  120. Misaki: Did they always get along this well?
  121. Misaki(small): Those girls
  122. Gaouin: Hm
  123.  
  124. Gaouin: I wonder what happened.
  125.  
  126. 08
  127.  
  128. Chalkboard: Loser's Alliance Meeting
  129.  
  130. Kamino: If we have even one of Synthesize Grid's metal particles inside us...
  131. Kamino: Kokuchou-san wins.
  132.  
  133. Kamino: She only has to say...
  134. Kamino: she'll kill us if we don't vote for her.
  135.  
  136. Tatsuki: Hold on. Threatening the electors...
  137. Tatsuki: is against the rules.
  138.  
  139. Kumamori: We can't prove the presence of a nano-size metal particle...
  140. Kumamori: so she'll just claim it was a strategic bluff.
  141. Iori: Excuse me! Question!
  142.  
  143. 09
  144.  
  145. Iori: Can she even use Synthesize Grid without the cube?
  146. Iori(outside): She doesn't have that anymore.
  147.  
  148. Kamino: That cube produced vibrations, right?
  149. Upper right text: It turns the vibrations into a voice.
  150. Middle text: We made it
  151. Bottom text: Yay!
  152. Iori: That's right.
  153.  
  154. Kamino: The vibrations...
  155. Kamino: may be the key to controlling Synthesize Grid.
  156.  
  157. Kamino: Plus, Kokuchou-san's barrier ability is an ultrasonic standing wave.
  158. Kamino: That also uses vibrations.
  159. Kamino: If she can use that to produce the same vibrations as the cube...
  160.  
  161. Tatsuki: She can control Synthesize Grid!?
  162.  
  163. 10
  164.  
  165. Kamino: Now, to counteract this...
  166. Kamino: ...Oh.
  167. SFX: Thunk
  168.  
  169. Iori: I can write it
  170. SFX: Reach
  171. Iori: That aside...
  172.  
  173. Iori: you dueled that Previous Generation in the Pride Left?
  174.  
  175. Kamino: Yes, I did.
  176.  
  177. Iori: I would be too afraid to battle the previous #1 Level 5.
  178. Iori: I'm impressed.
  179.  
  180. Iori: However, you got yourself badly injured in the process!
  181. Iori: So sit down! You need to look after your health more!!
  182. Kamino: Oh.
  183. Iori(outside): I will handle the rest!
  184.  
  185. 11
  186.  
  187. Tatsuki: Most people will think taking on the previous #1 was stupid.
  188. Iori: Hiss...
  189.  
  190. Tatsuki: But not me.
  191.  
  192. Tatsuki: If you don't try it, you can't even lose and get mad about it.
  193. Tatsuki: That'd be a waste.
  194. Tatsuki(outside): You don't have to fight a duel, though.
  195.  
  196. Tatsuki: And if no one even tries cause they assume they don't stand a chance...
  197. Tatsuki: those Level 5s...
  198.  
  199. Tatsuki: must end up feeling lonely and left out.
  200.  
  201. 12
  202.  
  203. Tatsuki: That's how I see it.
  204.  
  205. Tatsuki: Still, destroying the building and fighting a duel is taking it too far.
  206. Iori: True
  207. Kumamori: Yeah, you need to apologize and do some real soul-searching after that.
  208. Kumamori(outside): I wasn't part of that, though
  209.  
  210. Tatsuki: I've actually been putting together a plan to avoid causing any more trouble.
  211. Tatsuki: It'd be great if you were on the same page there, Kamino.
  212.  
  213. Tatsuki: Trickery's your specialty, right?
  214.  
  215. 13
  216.  
  217. Kamino: I am not that soft.
  218.  
  219. Kamino: Lonely, hm?
  220.  
  221. Kamino: I don't actually know what Kokuchou-san is planning.
  222. Kamino: But it may be related to...
  223. Kamino: the Previous Generation's loneliness.
  224.  
  225. Kamino: In the worst case...
  226. Kamino: as one of the Seven Sisters...
  227. Kamino: I may have to deal with her myself.
  228. SFX: Clench
  229.  
  230. 14
  231.  
  232. Kamino: I must not burden anyone else with this.
  233.  
  234. Gaouin: Kokuchou-chan still isn't here.
  235.  
  236. Misaki: Isn't she disqualified if she doesn't show?
  237. Gaouin: If she isn't here for the vote.
  238.  
  239. 15
  240.  
  241. Iori: Disqualified!? Are you kidding me!?
  242. SFX: Clatter
  243.  
  244. Iori: She hasn't contacted you!?
  245. Senju: Inubushi-san called to say she would be absent.
  246. Box: Elector
  247. Inubushi Chikage
  248. (Absent)
  249. Iori: Why isn't she here!?
  250.  
  251. Iori: Find her! There could be trouble!
  252. SFX: Clatter clatter
  253. Tatsuki: Good point.
  254.  
  255. Gaouin: Let's go.
  256. Misaki: Why us?
  257.  
  258. Gaouin: You don't want it to end this way, do you?
  259.  
  260. SFX: Click
  261.  
  262. 16
  263.  
  264. Kokuchou: Safe!

  267.  
  268. Iori: You're super duper late!!
  269. Kokuchou: Sorry, sorry.

  296.  
  297. Kokuchou: But I'm right here?
  298.  
  299. Kamino: A recording? No...
  300.  
  301. Tatsuki: You aren't Kokuchou.
  302.  
  303. "Kokuchou": Huh?
  304.
