    \nOrdinarily, summer vacation remedial classes are held in July,\n
[03:16] ---
    and apparently they\nactually were held in late July.\n
[03:20] ---
    But I, Kamijo Toma, am now\nretaking them today, on August 20th.\n
[03:25] ---
    Apparently, I skipped\nthe first remedial classes.\n
[03:30] ---
    That ambiguous "apparently"\nis a result of me losing my memories.\n
[03:35] ---
    I don't have any memories before July 28th.\n
[03:38] ---
    As such, before I knew it,\nI had been made to pay the bill\n
[03:41] ---
    for skipping something I don't\neven remember,\n
[03:44] ---
    and that's where I'm at now.\n
[03:48] ---
    ¥2000.\n
[04:04] ---
    Just my luck.\n
[04:06] ---
    Hey, there!\n
[04:07] ---
    Don't just stand there like an idiot.\n
[04:09] ---
    If you're not buying anything,\nthen stand aside!\n
[04:15] ---
    That's a Tokiwadai Middle School uniform.\nWho is she?\n
[04:20] ---
    So, what's with you, pal?\n
[04:23] ---
    I do have...\n
[04:26] ---
    ...a name--Mikoto Misaka!\nRemember it already, you idiot!\n
[04:37] ---
    I do know her, all right.\n
[04:39] ---
    That vending machine\nis just gonna take your money.\n
[04:43] ---
    I know.\n
[04:45] ---
    There's a trick to it. \n
[04:46] ---
    A trick that will make it give\ndrinks without using any money.\n
[04:50] ---
    A trick?\n
[04:58] ---
    Shorts...\n
[05:01] ---
    This vending machine is worse for wear,\n
[05:02] ---
    so the springs that keep\nthe drinks in place are loose.\n
[05:05] ---
    The catch is,\nyou can't choose what comes out.\n
[05:09] ---
    So what's the matter with you?\n
[05:11] ---
    Does every young lady\nfrom Tokiwadai do stuff like this?\n
[05:14] ---
    That's what it's like at a girls' school.\n
[05:16] ---
    Don't go dreaming too hard about us girls.\n
[05:21] ---
    It's because people like\nyou come around and do this\n
[05:23] ---
    that the vending machine\ngets broken, you know.\n
[05:28] ---
    What are you so upset about?\nIt's not like it does you any harm--\n
[05:34] ---
    Did you get yoinked?\n
[05:38] ---
    How much did you get taken for?\n
[05:42] ---
    ¥2000.\n
[05:45] ---
    --¥2000?! You mean you used\na ¥2000 bill?! So they still exist!\n
[05:46] ---
    --I didn't have any choice! It was the only cash I had!\n--¥2000?! You mean you used a ¥2000 bill?! So they still exist!\n
[05:50] ---
    --I didn't have any choice! It was the only cash I had!\n--Of course the vending machine is gonna gobble that up!\n
[05:54] ---
    Here, I'll get it back for you. \n
[05:56] ---
    How?\n
[05:58] ---
    Like this.\n
[06:04] ---
    Huh? There are so many coming out...\n
[06:07] ---
    You didn't get the ¥2000 bill back,\n
[06:09] ---
    but I'm sure that more than\n¥2000 worth of drinks came out. \n
[06:12] ---
    You okay with that?\n
[06:13] ---
    Hey, why are you running\naway as fast as you can?!\n
[06:16] ---
    Hey!\n

[06:30] ---
    Here.\n
[06:36] ---
    Don't go gleefully escaping from reality,\n
[06:38] ---
    start carrying these drinks.\nThis is your portion of them, after all.\n
[06:43] ---
    I'm a little fearful,\nsince the instant I accept these,\n
[06:46] ---
    I feel like I'm graduating from\ninnocent bystander to accomplice--\n
[06:49] ---
    Ow, hot!\n

    \nAh, if you don't want the coconut cider, I'll take it.\n
[07:00] ---
    What are you so on edge for? \n
[07:02] ---
    It's like, you really are strong,\nbut you think you're weak,\n
[07:06] ---
    so you're making a fool of yourself.\n
[07:07] ---
    You're the one who bested Misaka Mikoto.\n
[07:11] ---
    So now, at the very least,\nyou have to accept the responsibility\n
[07:14] ---
    of being the victor over me.\n
[07:16] ---
    --Bested? I beat her? In sports?\n--Such that I, one of only seven\n
[07:19] ---
    --In some game? When a girl says,\n--Level 5s in all of Academy City,\n
[07:23] ---

    --it sure has an ominous ring to it.\n--this is the boy that I lost to!\n

[07:31] ---
    Here, just drink your soda.\nMy underclassmen would swoon\n
[07:35] ---
    if they were to get a present\nstraight from Master Mikoto.\n
[07:39] ---
    Swoon? I doubt we're\ntalking about a girl's manga here.\n
[07:42] ---
    Heh, it would be endearing\nif it were just a girl's manga.\n
[07:47] ---
    --Do you know what they call me\naround Tokiwadai Middle School?\n
[07:49] ---
    --Sissy?\n--Do you know what they call me around Tokiwadai Middle School?\n
[07:51] ---
    Oh, it is you, Sissy.\nOh, my, it's you, Sissy.\n
[07:55] ---
    Here I thought it wasn't like you,\ntaking remedial lessons,\n
[07:58] ---
    but it was just a\npretense for this, wasn't it?\n
[08:02] ---
    J-Just for the record, let me ask you,\nwhat do you mean by "for this"?\n
[08:07] ---
    It's obvious. So you can\nmeet that gentleman in secret.\n
[08:12] ---
    Pleased to meet you. I'm Shirai Kuroko,\n
[08:15] ---
    and I kind of ride shotgun for Sissy.\n
[08:19] ---
    If you intend to put the moves\non Sissy, please go through me first.\n
[08:25] ---
    Now, look, you...\n
[08:29] ---
    Does this geekwad look like my boyfriend?!\n
[08:36] ---
    No, of course.\n
[08:39] ---
    Not when it comes to my Sissy.\n
[08:41] ---
    Well then, please take care not\nto make any missteps, okay, Sissy?\n
[08:47] ---
    Kuroko!\n
[08:49] ---
    If you go spreading any funny stories,\nyou'll answer to me!\n
[08:52] ---
    Teleportation...\n
[08:54] ---
    Sissy...\n
[08:55] ---
    Again?!\n
[08:58] ---
    There's more of you?\n
[09:00] ---
    Misaka No. 2?!\n
[09:02] ---
    "I'm her younger sister,"\nis what Misaka is quick to reply.\n
[09:06] ---
    Younger sister? \n
[09:08] ---
    But why would Misaka whoever use\n"Misaka" in the first person?\n
[09:11] ---
    Wouldn't you usually refer\nto yourself by your first name?\n
[09:14] ---
    It would get confusing\naround the house, right?\n
[09:16] ---
    "Misaka's name is Misaka,"\nis Misaka's swift reponse.\n
[09:20] ---
    And just what are you doing,\nwandering around here for?!\n
[09:24] ---
    "Why, you ask me? I am doing training,"\nis Misaka's brief answer.\n
[09:32] ---
    Ah, training?\n
[09:35] ---
    Hey, little sister,\ncould you come here for a second?\n
[09:38] ---
    We've got a bit of\ncatching up to do. Quite a bit.\n
[09:42] ---
    "No, Misaka has a schedule to keep,"\nis what Misaka--\n
[09:45] ---
    It's okay!\n
[09:48] ---
    Come with me.\n
[09:50] ---
    Okay, well, we're headed this way.\nBe mindful of your dorm's curfew.\n
[09:57] ---
    Maybe they're just... a complex family.\n
[10:08] ---
    So hot...\n
[10:10] ---
    So cold...\n
[10:12] ---
    So heavy...\n
[10:25] ---
    That was a close one.\n
[10:33] ---
    W-Whoa, hold on! Hey!\n
[10:40] ---
    D-Damn it, what did I ever do?\n
[10:47] ---
    Didn't you...\n
[10:50] ---
    ...take your sister and go off\nsomewhere a little while ago?\n
[10:55] ---
    Huh?\n
[10:56] ---
    I thought she was wearing shorts earlier.\n
[10:59] ---
    "I can lend you a hand, if you need it,"\n
[11:02] ---
    is what Misaka suggests with a sigh.\n
[11:08] ---
    Oh, you’re her younger sister.\nYou really do look like Mikoto.\n
[11:13] ---
    "Mikoto?" is what Misaka asks back.\nAhh, you mean Sissy.\n
[11:20] ---
    What's with the heavy-duty military goggles?\n
[11:23] ---
    "Unlike Sissy,\nMisaka doesn't have the skills to follow\n
[11:26] ---
    electron beams and\nmagnetic field lines by eyesight,\n
[11:29] ---
    so she needs this device\nto make them visible,"\n
[11:32] ---
    is what Misaka explains with care.\n
[11:35] ---
    Ah. But didn't your sister\ntake you away somewhere earlier?\n
[11:44] ---
    "Misaka just came from there,"\nshe says, pointing.\n
[11:53] ---
    "Where should we carry these drinks to,"\n
[11:56] ---
    asks Misaka, with both\nof her hands filled with drinks.\n
[12:00] ---
    Oh, uh, that's okay.\nI can carry them by myself.\n
[12:06] ---
    "Where should we carry these drinks to,"\n
[12:09] ---
    Misaka prods.\n
[12:11] ---
    Huh? L-Like I said,\nthat's okay, that's okay.\n
[12:14] ---
    You're under no obligation to carry them.\n
[12:16] ---
    Quickly, now.\n
[12:19] ---
    Right.\n
[12:27] ---
    Hey! Kamijo Toma!\n
[12:33] ---
    My air conditioning is out,\nso I'm staying over here.\n
[12:35] ---
    It's gonna get noisy with my\nbrother tonight, so forgive us.\n
[12:39] ---
    Is Tsuchimikado home?\n
[12:41] ---
    Nope. I have no idea where he went.\n
[12:45] ---
    This is Maika, the stepsister\nof my classmate Tsuchimikado,\n
[12:48] ---
    who lives next door.\nApparently, she goes to maid school.\n
[12:53] ---
    Maid school sure must be rough.\nYou don't get summers off, right?\n
[12:57] ---
    Mm-mm.\n
[12:58] ---
    Our school motto is that a\ntrue maid doesn't need time off.\n
[13:03] ---
    By the way, Kamijo Toma,\ndid you win those trophies in your arms\n
[13:07] ---
    in some lottery caper?\n
[13:08] ---
    I paid for them fair and square.\n
[13:10] ---
    They're not the tidiest drinks around,\n
[13:12] ---
    but you can have one if you want.\n
[13:14] ---
    Okay, this one.\n
[13:19] ---
    Lastly, the first secret of hiding runaway girls--\n
[13:23] ---
    In the city, have them wander\naround town at the usual times,\n
[13:26] ---
    and then call them back in the evening.\n
[13:28] ---
    That's the easiest feeding method.\n
[13:30] ---
    How did you know?!\n
[13:32] ---
    The Sister tramps noisily\naround the place, you know?\n
[13:40] ---
    "Is that what you're into?"\nasks Misaka, somewhat earnestly.\n
[13:46] ---
    Don't be too serious. \n
[13:52] ---
    Hmm? What are they doing?\n
[13:58] ---
    Hey, what's up? Did you\nlose your key, and get locked out?\n
[14:03] ---
    Ah, it's Toma! No, we didn't.\n
[14:05] ---
    And what's this?! Toma,\ndid you bring home another stranger?!\n
[14:09] ---
    What is this?\n
[14:11] ---
    At this point, maybe you\nwere born under that sort of star.\n
[14:14] ---
    The kind where you trigger those flags,\n
[14:16] ---
    and run down various other routes.\n
[14:20] ---
    So, what is it you're doing?\n
[14:23] ---
    Sphinx is covered with fleas,\nso we're removing them.\n
[14:28] ---
    Eh? You mean, the apartment\nis covered with fleas, too?!\n
[14:31] ---
    Damn it, I thought I was feeling itchy lately.
[14:34] ---
    It's okay, Toma.\n
[14:38] ---
    What is that?\n
[14:40] ---
    It's a medicinal herb called sage.\n
[14:42] ---
    I'm going to set fire to this, \n
[14:43] ---
    and smoke out the fleas on Sphinx's body.\n
[14:47] ---
    Smoke out? What are you,\nmaking savory steamed cat?\n
[14:52] ---
    Wait, Himegami.\nWhat are you pulling out over there?\n
[14:56] ---
    All I can say is that it's magic spray.\n
[14:59] ---
    What are you doing with it?\n
[15:01] ---
    I'm just aiming the magic\nspray at the fleas, and spraying them.\n
[15:05] ---
    It looks like ordinary pesticide to me!\n
[15:08] ---
    Are you planning to\nspray that directly onto the cat?!\n
[15:11] ---
    "As far as dealing with the cat goes...\n
[15:14] ---
    ...you simply want to remove the fleas\n
[15:16] ---
    from the surface of the cat's body,\nwithout using drugs, right?"\n
[15:20] ---
    Misaka asks, seeking confirmation.\n
[15:22] ---
    Well, sure. How would you do it?\n
[15:26] ---
    "Like this," Misaka swiftly replies.\n
[15:33] ---
    "I have exterminated just the\nfleas, using a specific frequency,"\n
[15:36] ---
    reports Misaka.\n
[15:38] ---
    "I believe you can easily\nexterminate inside the apartment\n
[15:41] ---
    using an insecticide of\nthe type that emits smoke,"\n
[15:44] ---
    offers Misaka by way of advice.\n
[15:47] ---
    S-Sure...\n
[15:50] ---
    "Soup Curry"\n
[15:51] ---
    "Soup Curry"\nWell then,\n
[15:52] ---
    \nWell then,\n
[15:53] ---
    as my errand is complete...\n
[16:03] ---
    As far as the necessary conditions\nof the ESP card experiment,\n
[16:06] ---
    reinstituted in America in 1992,\n
[16:10] ---
    the material was changed to ABS resin.\n
[16:13] ---
    \nThis was because of a trick that was used, whereby the type of card\n
[16:13] ---
    "ESP Cards"\nThis was because of a trick that was used, whereby the type of card\n
[16:16] ---
    "ESP Cards"\nwas identified by fingerprints on the card's surface...\n
[16:19] ---
    "ESP Cards"\nHey, Kamijo! Are you listening to me?!\n
[16:25] ---
    Yes, I'm listening. \n
[16:27] ---
    But listening to this isn't going\nto increase my power, right?\n
[16:30] ---
    Kami is a Level 0, and all.\n
[16:33] ---
    You can't grow something\nthat isn't gonna grow.\n
[16:35] ---
    Yes, but if you give up because\nyou don't have any power,\n
[16:38] ---
    then what could grow won't grow, either.
[16:41] ---
    Miss Misaka, of Tokiwadai Middle School,\n
[16:44] ---
    who is ranked 3rd in\nAcademy City, was originally a Level 1,\n
[16:47] ---
    but she worked and worked\nuntil she reached Level 5.\n
[16:52] ---
    Ranked 3rd? Who, her?
[16:54] ---
    Hmm? Kamijo, do you know Miss Misaka?\n
[16:59] ---
    No, not really.\n
[17:15] ---
    Hey there! Are you on your way\nhome from remedial lessons, too?\n
[17:25] ---
    Oh, it's you.\n
[17:29] ---
    "Today's Topics:"\n
[17:30] ---

[17:31] ---

    "centered around muscular dystrophy"\nI sure do hate those airships, you know?\n

[17:36] ---
    "succession during the last two weeks."\nWhy's that?\n
[17:37] ---
    \nWhy's that?\n
[17:38] ---
    Because the machine sets the policy,\nand the humans follow it.\n
[17:42] ---
    The machine?\nAh, what was it again? Let's see...\n
[17:46] ---
    Tree Diagram, wasn't it?\n
[17:49] ---
    Tree Diagram.\nThe greatest supercomputer in the world,\n
[17:53] ---
    loaded aboard the satellite Orihime I,\n
[17:56] ---
    which was launched by\nAcademy City under the pretense\n
[17:58] ---
    that it would be analyzing climate data...\n
[18:02] ---
    or so we're told, \n
[18:04] ---
    but do you think such a\nridiculous thing actually exists?\n
[18:08] ---
    Huh?\n
[18:11] ---
    Ow! What the hell did you do that for?!\n
[18:15] ---
    Ah, I was just waxing a little poetic.\n
[18:20] ---
    Huh?\n
[18:22] ---
    Well, I'm headed this way, so...\n
[18:41] ---
    That's Mikoto, right?\n
[18:46] ---
    It's her younger sister.\nYou know, if you lose the goggles,\n
[18:49] ---
    there really is no way to tell them apart.\n
[18:54] ---
    Hey there. Thanks for your help\nwith the drinks and fleas yesterday.\n
[18:58] ---
    "Your words of gratitude were\nnot my objective," replies Misaka.\n
[19:06] ---
    What's wrong? Aren't you giving that to him?\n
[19:11] ---
    "It is not possible for Misaka\nto feed this cat," she concludes.\n
[19:17] ---
    "That's because Misaka has one critical defect,"\n
[19:21] ---
    she additionally explains.\n
[19:23] ---
    Defect?\n
[19:24] ---
    "Misaka's body constantly\nemits a weak magnetic field around it,"\n
[19:27] ---
    explains Misaka. \n
[19:29] ---
    It is not strong enough\nfor people to detect,\n
[19:32] ---
    but it's another matter for other animals.\n
[19:37] ---
    "Unless something is done,\nthere is a risk of the Health Department\n
[19:39] ---
    taking him in," Misaka points out.\n
[19:42] ---
    Well, yeah, I guess so.\n
[19:45] ---
    "Do you know how animals\ntaken in by the Health Department\n
[19:49] ---
    are treated?" presses Misaka.\n
[19:57] ---
    You're the one who found him,\n
[19:59] ---
    so you should at least\nbe the one to name him.\n
[20:03] ---
    --"Dog."\n
[20:04] ---
    --Huh?\n--"Dog."\n
[20:04] ---
    "The black cat is 'Dog',"\nas named by Misaka.\n
[20:09] ---
    He is a cat, and yet, "Dog."\n
[20:13] ---
    Yeah, but I mean, seriously,\nhow about a more dignified name?\n
[20:19] ---
    "Okay, 'Tokugawa Ieyasu'," reconsiders Misaka.\n
[20:23] ---
    That's a bit too dignified!
[20:25] ---
    In that case, how about "Schrödinger"?\n
[20:27] ---
    That name is taboo when it comes to cats.\n
[20:31] ---
    I'll just be a second in here.\n
[20:33] ---
    Just hang out here for a moment, okay?\n
[20:35] ---
    "Do you want a book on how to take care of cats?"\n
[20:39] ---
    Misaka asks, seeking confirmation.\n
[20:41] ---
    I'd say more knowledge than a book.\n
[20:43] ---
    You saw the nun's habit\nand the priestess's robes, right?\n
[20:49] ---
    "I must say, just for the record,\nthat the improper treatment of cats\n
[20:54] ---
    is a crime against animal\nprotection laws," warns Misaka.\n
[20:59] ---
    Huh? What? Are you angry?\n
[21:02] ---
    "I am not angry. Though I do\nnot mean that everything is fine\n
[21:06] ---
    as long as you are not directly involved,"\n
[21:09] ---
    says Misaka, calling your attention.\n
[21:11] ---
