>...Something's definitely weird.
>Those guys haven't done anything for a while now...

>I've got a bad feeling about this.
>They might be plotting something again...

>...
>It's been about a month since the day I met X...
>There haven't been Antinoid-related incidents since then.

p3
>B-But y'know!!
>Peace is a good thing, right!?
>"If it stays like this forever"... that is.

>...When I saw X before,
>she said "later",
>so there'll surely be a "next time".

> The fact that nothing's happening is actually making me more worried...
>Uwah

p4
>Eh?

>Uwah... I've done it now.
>Wawah! This is bad, Onee-chan!

>We need to wipe it off before it stains...
>Awawa
>Crap, I forgot to bring a handkerchief.
>Um~

p5
>You can borrow this if you'd like.
>Ah.
>Thank you.
>No problem.

>Sorry for the trouble.
>I'm Fujigami Makoto.
>I'll wash this and return it to you so
>could you tell me your...
>Uwaah!!

p6
>Moron...!
>What are you doing, Hina!?
>Ehe
>I thought I'd wipe it off for you...

>No thanks!
>Don't go lifting up your sister's skirt in public!
>I figured it'd make things easier to wipe...
>Maybe, but why'd you have to lift it up!?

>Quite the noisy pair...
>Ahaha
>They look like they get along, so it's fine.

>I like it.
>I think uneventful days like this are truly wonderful.

p7
>To be honest, the best kind of world would be one that doesn't need heroes.
>I'll do it myself!
>Hrm...

>Ah, but
>If that happens, I'll have to get myself a proper job...!
>Aaaaaaaaaaah....
>You've got it rough too, in more ways than one...
>21-year old part-timer

>Fu
>But I suppose you're right. If things truly do become peaceful, the two of us can...

p8
>Looks like heroes are still needed after all.

>Let's go, Honey-san!
>Right.
>Ah, wait!
>Sorry about this! We'll sort out the handkerchief thing later!

>Huh? It's a new face this time!

>Fu
>I am the Antinoid general, Cool Down.
>I'm glad to see you, Honey-kun and the little bunny.
>L-Little bunny...?

>By the way, I'm filling in for Melt-kun and Kyouka-kun, who are busy resonating at home.
>How precious.
>Ugh...
>Aren't those two taking way too much time off...?

p11
>So with that said,
>I'll have you show me your resonance today.

>As cryptic as ever I see.
>This is why I've never spoken with you that much.
>So that's why you meant by cryptic...
>Instead of resonance, how about I show you some pain instead?

>Trance On!

>I'm the only one with a different line...
>Trance Up!

p12
>Well then,
>let's see if you can take me on.

>Woah, it's cold!?
>Cool Down... Just like her name suggests, she can manipulate cold weather.
>She's pretty formidable.

p13
>Now, go forth, my Metawarriors!

>Jamaaaa!!!!

p14
>Jama!

>Jamaaa!
