Tsubomi Mountain Retreat! Break in! Episode 40

Annoyed by her telekinetic exhibition and her childish insistence on skiing to Fujiko's mountain villa in spite of its obfuscation by the snowstorm, Minamoto galvanizes Kaoru's limiter before leading his esper charges to the villa where Fujiko warmly greets them. Dr. Sakaki arrives shortly thereafter with Natsuko and Hotaru who are anguished at the scrutiny being directed at their vehicle at whose anterior is affixed a large conical drill. Hatsune bringing Keiko after B.A.B.E.L. One comes in for a landing so that Taizou, Oboro, Ichirou, Naomi, and Akira can disembark signals that the vacation can begin in earnest. Wielding Hanae as a maid, Fujiko pulls Taizou aside to explain of the difficult trials ahead before helping herself to Minamoto's energy and leading everybody in charging Minamoto an explanation of a Comerican woman whose company he was in. Promptly seizing the wine bottle to extinguish Sakaki's explanation with an emphatic »Not another word!!!« cranial blow, Minamoto bellows an austere injunction against inebriation and interloping. While Kaoru has found seventh heaven with the broad and eclectic anthology of mammaries, Shiho decides to investigate the epilogue of Minamoto's earlier story and encounters what she thinks is an adversarial interloper who (after Minamoto computes all the factors) turns out to be Hanae with her hypnotic metamorphosis fully dormant. Minamoto explaining to Hanae that her conduct is more important than the construction of her visage prompts Kaoru, Shiho and Aoi to confront their leader frightened of a placid paramour displacing his paternal affection for them. Ultimately, the lesson is demonstrated is that a frenzied genius like Kouichi Minamoto converged upon into a corner is just as dangerous as 100 espers . . . especially with a remote-controlled drill tank.
