Hair scythes? Alrighty then.

So it was purely an Edward scheme that he coerced them into. I'll admit, I'm mildly disappointed in Kate for getting a little too comfortable too fast with her progress and not anticipating at least the possibility of Edward mixing things up with new schemes. It's reasonable to argue she's still indeed a child, and while very mature for someone her age she lacks the raw experience that comes with age nor anyone to teach her at an accelerated rate. Anthony is being extremely damn useless for all his big talk! Even so, Edward has made his animosity very clear and he's still in charge and still holds a dominant position when it comes to power. She should know that if anything the progress she has made actually makes things more precarious, because she simultaneously no longer has full "stealth" so to speak, where everything appears normal and they're operating under the radar, but also is far from ready to simply make a play for freedom. So she should guess that Edward is going to be a permanent, and scheming, enemy until he's eliminated. I'd sort of thought maybe this would combine a trick with "we need to buy as much time as we can" but it appears she was just purely caught off guard, the only silver lining being that intentional or not this definitely is likely to suck all the Adults' focus, and Edward will probably be smug in his out maneuvering Kate. That makes it far less likely for him to expect any other scheme on her part since he too is likely to relax in a "victory", and thus the rescue is more likely to succeed.

Still this is quite a challenge. It's not officially to the death so both can survive, but Kate can't afford to just throw the match either, nor is interference trivial given all the powerful Adult observers as well as extra Edward agent. Looking forward to seeing what they do (and guessing at possible approaches)!

Ya boy was muthafuckin' RIGHT all along !

Kate got blindsided by Edward but I'm pretty sure Rammy will pull off the rescue plan just fine since they more than likely will get some unexpected help from Anthony and the shadows under his influence
I currently predict that this fight between Kate and Stella will Kate accidentally dropping the stamp and and have to use her soot to grab it only for Stella to chop it at just the right timing to send it flying into her hands. I'm most worried about Oliver's fight though

HAIR FIGHT

Thank you Palmtop Scans.
Kate powered up. The soot wings allows her to jump, but not fly.
Expecting Stella to use her hair to reach the stamp after making Kate to drop the stamp.

kate: omae wa mou bald-eiru

Kate has lived rent free in Edward's head since the day she passed her debut. Edward's disappearance during the previous arc may have lulled her into a state where she assumed that he had things to do other than picking on her. He doesn't!

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[suprprettycybrgirl]

Oh my god, Edward....get a job! Stay away from her!!

 

[Alcion]

TFW your teacher teaches you all these things that will be on the test, and then the test questions dont ask any of it.

 

[motheblackcat]

Not the first time shit got real but still... Dayum!

 

[Doomroar]

Damn, this would be perfect for Sara to accidentally get her ass beaten in the crossfire

 

[Romanito11]

Holy shiiiiiit. All of this caught me off guard too! I still wanna see Oliver fight lol he looked so silly
I'm honestly worried about Mia?? I was thinking that maybe Emilyko, since she's just beside her, could talk or at least make eye contact.
Also wasn't expecting this turn of events for Stella!! You go girl! I hope no one gets killed tho

 

[Redice]

Those fwoom sfx of her hair be like like spinning lightsabers.

 

[recklessribbon]

I'm so happy that Kate's soot wings are back So awesome. Thanks for the translation!
