Panel 1 (top right):
Maru: I think the women will show up at the cultural exchange as well. Until now… well, just to be safe… I feel sorry for making them uncomfortable on the ship.
Tsurugi: Kind of male-centered… or maybe just overprotective, don’t you think…?
(bottom right):
Tsurugi: …But I can’t completely say I don’t understand that feeling.
⸻
Panel 2:
Tsurugi: It’s not that I’m assuming someone is weak. But if that person gets hurt, I wouldn’t be able to stand it.
⸻
Panel 3 (right):
Tsurugi: Makes you wonder which one is really weaker, huh.
Maru: Haha, yeah, that’s true.

Panel 3:
Tomoe Kyoko, Jujutsu Tech Nutrition Teacher: The main dish is a takoyaki party!? I thought I was just here to make takoyaki!!
⸻
Panel 4:
Yuuka: But Tomoe-san, you wouldn’t want to leave the cooking unfinished yourself, right?
Tomoe: Don’t keep something someone might hate hidden until the day of!!
Tsurugi: Please have the Simurians handle the octopus legs.
Tomoe: Then why does this octopus only have one leg!? Is this really going to be okay!?

Panel 1 (right):
Maru: This is called a Monopod Octopus. Apparently, the name comes from the batting style of an old baseball player.
Tomoe: That doesn’t make it any safer… Are you really okay…?

Usami: The method to lift the curse placed on Dabra’s younger sister…
⸻
Panel 2:
Jabaloma: Yes. It’s a death curse cast by the Deskunte clan leader. It activates either when the clan leader dies, or if Dabra disobeys the leader’s orders.
⸻
Panel 3 (right):
Jabaloma: Currently, it seems to be outside the effective range of the cursed technique, according to your knowledge, but to be safe we’re exploring ways to lift it. We’d like to hear the opinions of Japanese sorcerers.

“If we can owe them a favor, that alone would be a win.”

Panel 1:
Usami: In Africa, there’s a cursed tool called the Black Rope that can nullify any curse. If we can obtain it, it might be possible to lift your sister’s curse.
⸻
Panel 2:
Dabra: Really?
Usami: It’s an extremely rare tool, so it won’t be easy to get right away…
⸻
Panel 3 (right):
Dabra: Please, I’m counting on you.
Usami: I’ll do my best.
⸻
Panel 4:
Dabra: Jabaloma, I’ll step out for a bit.
Mino: (This is shaping up to be a really good opportunity…!)

Panel 1:
Yuuka: Alright!! Everyone’s been waiting!! It’s time for the takoyaki party!!
Tomoe: Wait, Yuuka!! Using mochi instead of octopus in takoyaki is unthinkable!! That’s the one thing I can’t allow!! At least use cheese!!
⸻
Panel 2:
Yuuka: Ah, Dabra-san.
