A mysterious girl draws near. Who could this be, and why is she scaring Saki like this?
Shoutout! The mysterious girl is wearing Axent Wear headphones, designed by the amazing Yuumei. Go buy yourself a pair if you wanna be as awesome as her! :)

Saki understands her situation!
It’s dire.
Status Quo took a toll on her.
Are those gamer headphones?
Those are Axent Wear Cat Ear headphones, lighted red. I wanted some like those, but they’re too expensive for me.
Thanks ^_^
As headphones go, not that expensive. But I expect that like most gamer audio equipment that the audio quality isn’t in line with the price. You might as well get a $30 to $40 pair of headphones, not as cute though.
Axent Wear. They’re popular at anime conventions! =D
I linked the infos in the description!

Cool, so will Saki end up in the virtual world?
So much new information here.
1. Saki and Valentine somehow know each other. Also Valentine knows who Saki really is.
2. Valentine has a sister. She’s watching Gaia. Marie-Lune fits the bill.
3. Madam B, or Boob Lady. Most likely it’s Liliane.
Can’t make anything from this yet, but I think white haired gals are from some rival shadowy organization.
*metal gear intensifies*
Madam B.
B stands for Bouganville
Yeah, it’s possible Marie-Lune is Valentine’s sister. Saki wasn’t wearing her glasses when she saw Marie-Lune, so she wouldn’t be able to notice any possible similarities other than their white hair.
Someone’s been paying attention, I see! :)

Time for Saki to break out the swords.
FAITO!
Nice to see some green hair action in this comic. Also, looks like Valentine is a bit of a trickster, I like this :P
Green Hair? Where?
“Marie-Lune’s little sister / older sister / daughter / otherwise related person” would be the obvious answer to that question. But is she though? Eh, I’ll say yes. If her color scheme and the mention of Gaia was a red herring, then good job.
So in French Saki swears that they’re seriously in (deep) shit. At school I never learnt which french swear terms exist, so this comic is really educational. XD In english the girls mostly say “fuck”, but in the french version I get to know quite the variety of expressions, like in 239 and in that one where Chloe said “Crisse de télé”. I can’t find it right now. An archive with thumbnails would be nice. :-)
@panel 3: Looks like “nice” in French is “cool”, then? :-) Don’t the French have a casual expression for “It was nice meeting you”?
She does seem related to Marie-Lune. In color scheme, hair color, and shoe style at least.
Remember, swear words in Quebec French and France French are totally different. But either way, it’s quite hard to convey the same meaning as the various swears I use in the English versions since the F word is VERY versatile. The strip you’re looking for is 214. ;)
And French doesn’t seem to have an interesting word to describe stuff that’s “nice, neat, nifty, cool or awesome” I don’t know any good equivalents myself that don’t sound out of place, and those I DO can think of are used in France French, not in Quebec French, like “chouette”.
So here, awesome things are “cool, nice, or le fun”.
As for your question, “nice meeting you” would be, erm… “heureux/content de faire ta connaissance.” which would translate “I’m happy/glad to make your acquaintance”. So it wouldn’t work here.
Thanks for the explanations. :) “le fun” sounds hilarious.
So Quebecians use chouette only when describing an owl then? How did an owl of all animals become a synonym with neat? O_o
Ran off to the French section to check. Dez, you are a bad influence.
I’ll just leave this here:

Mon ambition nouveau c’est jurer comme une jeune quebecoise.
No red nose…..
OF COURSE NOT
She is still far too young for the years of hard drinking to show on her nose? :)
Hahahaha! XD
It would be so hilarious if the kitty earphones had a light on the nose as well.
You know, some day you’re going to have to stop introducing female characters, cause there’s going to be more boob than plot :P
Never!
Valentine seems nice. For a probably evil rival assassin.
Seems like one those I’ll-happily-kill-you-if-I-have-to-but-no-reason-we-can’t-be-friendly type of people.
Not the most stealthy look, with lit-up accessories. But I guess she manages.
Oh, and I guess that makes character #3 that’s always wearing headphones (presumably).
And I can’t believe no one made a “Not as fucked as Marie-Neige” joke, seeing as that was just two comics ago.
