First off i was reading volume's 14-16 and noticed one thing with Kū Fei most of her dialogue sounded a bit off to me like "setsuna ask me to take care of you" I've seen a lot of that in it so was it just translator error or is that the way she speaks?

and also whats up with the girls all having mainly cat ears?

IIRC, she's Chinese and since it's set in Japan, they translate her dialogue as broken English.

Like Braves said, it's an indication of a speech affectation she displays in the Japanese dialogue because she's Chinese and somewhat stupid. Chao, who is also Chinese, doesn't do this because she's a genius.

On the cat ears, you're going to have to be a little more specific. While there are a number of times when the girls where kitty ears, these are generally reserved for special occasions like the Mahorafest. Or did I misunderstand that question?

Yeah, I think that's just because it's during the Mahorafest, so they're having fun dressing up in costumes, since they don't normally get to do so.
