When I ran the cover text through Google translate, it gave me some anti-feminist sounding caption. Well, it has something to do with Mikan's pretty outfit, I guess :3 (She also doesn't look 10/11...)
In a nut shell, Youichi’s being chased and gets rescued by an axe-swining Mr. Bear. At the hanahime den, Hayate’s being teased with a piece of cake, then grown-up Youichi shows up all brusied. Then they have a dangerous ablities type reunion thing, it’s kinda cute. xD
Back with the main group, when it looks like they’re about to be captured by lackeys, it turns out it’s just the Somatic Representative (forget his name) in disguise. 
Then he tells them about what happened (I think) especially about Yuka and the high school principle, and there’s a panel with the teleporting keyhole door. And then our of nowhere, a bag of Alice stones appears alongside a note from Mikan’s mother. 
She ends the letter with “Please, be safe” which makes Mikan cry. I don’t know what the rest of the letter says, but it’s probably something sweet. >w<
And then I'll quote Kiseki’s twitter. -w- “Am I reading this right? o A o Mikan now can absorb Alice stones, thus able to use their powers, right…? Wooow…”
So now Mikan’s going to save the day by being all-powerful? Not quite sure I like this concept, but let’s see how it develops. (I want more romance!)
Fate seems to be quite a predominant theme, and these red strings really tie things up */shot*
I quickly merged the colour spread, and let me say this from an editor’s perspective: despite the two sides actually matching up, the quality was… atrocious to work with.
Still though, lovely chapter. Thanks to raw-paradise for the scans! Won’t even attempt to translate this time (except once…), much too wordy. Just cleaned up some scans to make this post sparkle. 
Yuka looks so sad. ;~;
My impressions/interpretation of the chapter, based on raws and minimal understanding of kanji. (I’ll probably revise the post when the actual scanlations come out.)
Disclaimer: I can’t read Japanese; I just wanted to edit the scans but empty speech bubbles don’t look nice– online translators are (kind of) my friends. 
Never mind that. I need to learn Japanese lol.
