End of Chapter

Org note: We have previously translated the reference art for Meizen (along with Kagero and Mitsu).

TL note: “Special ability” (異能, inou) is all over this chapter, and it can be interpreted in many ways. The most literal translation would be “irregular ability”, but we have no idea what a “regular” ability in their context is like. “Super-powered” has similar issues, specially if one considers that some of them may not have any “super” ability and might just be very skilled in some technique but otherwise normal humans.
