The 3rd-ranked esper in all of Academy City\n
**[00:32] ---**
is Zapper, otherwise known as Misaka Mikoto.\n
**[00:34] ---**
Apparently, we were acquaintances\nbefore I lost my memory.\n
**[00:37] ---**
Additionally, her look-alike\nyounger sister suddenly showed up.\n
**[00:39] ---**
The two of them have me,\nKamijo Toma, at their mercy.\n
**[00:43] ---**
When it happened, I still hadn't realized\n
**[00:46] ---**
what the existence of this\n"younger sister" really meant.\n

*wherever I am, my feelings won't budge *

**[02:31] ---**
What are you running away like that for? \n
**[02:35] ---**
Beguilingly shaking your ass like that.\n
**[02:38] ---**
Is that an invitation?\n
**[02:50] ---**
Here's the question:\n
**[02:52] ---**
What am I, Accelerator...\n
**[02:57] ---**
...doing here, exactly?\n
**[03:29] ---**
Reflection...\n
**[03:31] ---**
Oh, too bad. You're close,\nbut that's not the principle I use.\n
**[03:37] ---**
The answer is vector transformation.\n
**[03:39] ---**
Whether kinetic energy,\namount of heat, electrical charge,\n
**[03:42] ---**
or any other vector,\nall it has to do is touch my skin,\n
**[03:45] ---**
and I can transform it. \n
**[03:47] ---**
I do have my default setting on reflect, though.\n
**[03:51] ---**
Now then, on to the\nmatter of the consolation match...\n
**[03:55] ---**
Right now, I am touching your "blood flow."\n
**[03:59] ---**
If I were to reverse the flow, \n
**[04:01] ---**
what do you suppose\nwould happen to a person's body?\n
**[04:05] ---**
The correct response wins rest... in peace.\n
**[04:18] ---**
Huh?\n
**[04:31] ---**
There, there. \n
**[04:34] ---**
I have to wonder, where could she have gone?\n
**[05:49] ---**
Misaka...?\n
**[06:22] ---**
You there... Excuse me...\n
**[06:27] ---**
If you're up to it, we'd like you\nto take us to where you found her.\n
**[06:31] ---**
Can you do that for us?\n
**[06:34] ---**
Let's go.\n
**[07:04] ---**
Hey, kid!\n
**[07:08] ---**
Is something the matter?\n
**[07:09] ---**
Er, no. Her body was\nsupposed to be... right here...\n
**[07:14] ---**
Huh? Hey...\n
**[07:16] ---**
Yeah.\n
**[07:23] ---**
Kid, there's nothing here.\n
**[07:25] ---**
There really...\n
**[07:27] ---**
There really was someone who died.\n
**[07:34] ---**
What's going on?\n
**[07:36] ---**
What's going on here, damn it?!\n
**[07:43] ---**
Hey, kid!\n
**[08:29] ---**
What is going on?\n
**[08:32] ---**
"I'm awfully sorry.\n
**[08:33] ---**
After I finished the op, I was\nplanning to come back to you,"\n
**[08:36] ---**
apologizes Misaka upfront.\n
**[08:39] ---**
H-Hey, hold on a second.\nYou're Misaka's younger sister, right?\n
**[08:45] ---**
Damn, man, what was all that?\n
**[08:48] ---**
Sorry. Up until right now,\nI thought that you might be dead.\n
**[08:54] ---**
Thank goodness.\nIt looks like it was nothing at all.\n
**[08:58] ---**
"Misaka unmistakably did die,"\nreports Misaka.\n
**[09:09] ---**
W-What is that... you're holding, exactly?\n
**[09:15] ---**
"I must verify your password,\njust to be sure,"\n
**[09:18] ---**
says Misaka, carrying out her word.\n
**[09:21] ---**
"ZXC741ASD852QWE963,"\nsays Misaka, testing you.\n
**[09:30] ---**
Uh, what?\n
**[09:31] ---**
"Since you are unable to\ndecode this password at this time,\n
**[09:34] ---**
you do not appear to be part of the experiment,"\n
**[09:37] ---**
confirms Misaka.\n
**[09:39] ---**
Then, what you've\ngot in the sleeping bag is...\n
**[09:42] ---**
"Sisters,"\n
**[09:44] ---**
answers Misaka.\n
**[09:50] ---**
"I apologize for leaving the black cat behind,"\n
**[09:53] ---**
expresses Misaka.\n
**[09:55] ---**
"But I felt uncomfortable involving\nan animal in a pointless battle,"\n
**[10:00] ---**
justifies Misaka.\n
**[10:03] ---**
"Apparently, I caused you some\nundue concern over this experiment,"\n
**[10:08] ---**
apologizes Misaka.\n
**[10:10] ---**
But you needn't have worried.\n
**[10:12] ---**
I am here... \n
**[10:13] ---**
...to inform you...\n
**[10:16] ---**
...that all of the Misakas here are Misaka.\n
**[10:27] ---**
What is this?\n
**[10:43] ---**
"The Misaka that you have\nhad contact with up through today\n
**[10:46] ---**
is serial number 10032, \n
**[10:49] ---**
which is to say, this Misaka.\n
**[10:51] ---**
The Misakas all utilize\nthe ability to control electricity,\n
**[10:54] ---**
and our brainwaves\nare all linked to each other.\n
**[10:56] ---**
The other Misakas no more than\nshare the memories of No. 10032,"\n
**[11:01] ---**
Misaka continues to explain.\n
**[11:04] ---**
Who are you?\n
**[11:06] ---**
"Cellular clones created as\nmass-produced military models\n
**[11:10] ---**
of Sissy Misaka Mikoto, one of only\nseven Level 5s in Academy City,\n
**[11:15] ---**
the Sisters," answers Misaka.\n
**[11:19] ---**
What are you doing, then?\n
**[11:22] ---**
"Just an experiment," answers Misaka.\n
**[11:26] ---**
"The details are classified top-secret,\nso I cannot explain further,\n
**[11:30] ---**
but this is not a serious incident,"\n
**[11:32] ---**
explains Misaka.\n
**[11:36] ---**
"I would like to apologize again\n
**[11:39] ---**
for involving you in this experiment,"\n
**[11:41] ---**
says Misaka, with bowed head.\n
**[11:53] ---**
Now then, if you would look after the cat...\n
**[12:05] ---**
*Experiment? Military? *
**[12:08] ---**
And just what are you doing,\nwandering around here for?!\n
**[12:12] ---**
--Misaka...\n
**[12:12] ---**
--It's okay!\n--Misaka...\n
**[12:15] ---**
Come with me.\n
**[12:18] ---**
Is it possible that\nshe knew about all of this?\n
**[12:25] ---**
Thank you for providing this dinner.\n
**[12:27] ---**
Me too.\n
**[12:28] ---**
Himegami, since you're\ncrashing in, you'll start with this.\n
**[12:37] ---**
Okay, please hop to it,\nand cook some meat for the teacher.\n
**[12:41] ---**
Mm-hmm... but,\n
**[12:44] ---**
before I do,\n
**[12:46] ---**
I'll tell you a scary story\nthat happened in Academy City.\n
**[12:51] ---**
I won't be bursting out into tears\nover any of the seven wonders.\n
**[12:56] ---**
The contents of the charred *yakiniku* portions...
**[12:59] ---**
...are actually carcinogenic.\n
**[13:02] ---**
Whoa! A truly scary story like that one\n
**[13:04] ---**
is not one of my summer traditions!\n
**[13:07] ---**
Are you planning to whittle away my appetite\n
**[13:08] ---**
and monopolize all of\nthe meat for yourself, Himegami?\n
**[13:14] ---**
We have company.\n
**[13:15] ---**
I think it's probably\na house-to-house notice,\n
**[13:17] ---**
so Himegami, could you\nplease handle it politely for me?\n
**[13:21] ---**
In the mean time,\nI'm going to cook my own meat...\n
**[13:25] ---**
...and eat it by myself.\n
**[13:39] ---**
I-I'm starvi--\n
**[13:43] ---**
Huh? Who was it?\n
**[13:46] ---**
Oh, it was nothing at all.\n
**[13:54] ---**
At least... At least feed him.\nAt least feed Sphinx.\n
**[14:07] ---**
Toma insists on not coming home,\n
**[14:09] ---**
so I thought I was going to starve to death.\n
**[14:15] ---**
That's okay. One or two more people won't matter.\n
**[14:20] ---**
The extra-deluxe *yakiniku* set, enough to satisfy everyone, it's *not*.
**[14:25] ---**
Yay! Meat! Meat! Meat!\n
**[14:30] ---**
"Summertime Interim Schedule"\n
**[14:39] ---**
Next stop, School District 7,\nTokiwadai Middle School Student Dorms.\n
**[15:15] ---**
"208 Misaka - Shirai"\n
**[15:19] ---**
Room 208.\n
**[15:22] ---**
Let's see...\n
**[15:26] ---**
What are you going\nto do once you see her?\n
**[15:30] ---**
Are you going to ask her\nabout this ghoulish "experiment,"\n
**[15:33] ---**
that thinks nothing of killing someone?\n
**[15:45] ---**
Yes?\n
**[15:47] ---**
Uh, um, Misaka? It's Kamijo.\n
**[15:52] ---**
Ah, Kamijo, is it?\n
**[15:57] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry,\nI must have the wrong room number.\n
**[16:01] ---**
No, no, it's all right. \n
**[16:04] ---**
I share the room with Sissy.\n
**[16:06] ---**
Oh, you do?\n
**[16:08] ---**
Yes, I do.\n
**[16:12] ---**
Hang on, I've heard\nthat voice somewhere before.\n
**[16:15] ---**
Now, it sounds like I've heard\nyour voice somewhere before.\n
**[16:21] ---**
You! You're the gentleman that\nSissy was secretly seeing yesterday!\n
**[16:26] ---**
What do you need with Sissy?!\n
**[16:28] ---**
Oh, uh, it's nothing that important.\n
**[16:30] ---**
If it's not that important, \n
**[16:32] ---**
it seems fishy that you\nwould come all the way here.\n
**[16:35] ---**
Yeah, well, if she's not there, never mind.\n
**[16:41] ---**
Sissy has still not returned.\n
**[16:44] ---**
If you need to see her,\n
**[16:45] ---**
I recommend that you come in and wait for her.\n
**[16:56] ---**
Room 208...\n
**[16:59] ---**
This is it.\n
**[17:04] ---**
Come in. It's not locked.\n
**[17:09] ---**
Pardon the intrusion.\n
**[17:13] ---**
It's you, all right.\n
**[17:16] ---**
Y-You're...\n
**[17:17] ---**
Don't tell me that after I left,\nyou had an indiscretion with Sissy.\n
**[17:22] ---**
No, no! No! \n
**[17:24] ---**
I see. Moreover,\nyou don't seem to have come here\n
**[17:27] ---**
to discuss such an amorous tale.\n
**[17:31] ---**
If you're going to wait\nfor Sissy, please sit on that bed.\n
**[17:35] ---**
Er, no, I couldn't do that.\nNot without her permission.\n
**[17:40] ---**
You needn't worry. That's my bed.\n
**[17:45] ---**
Then that one is Misaka's?\n
**[17:47] ---**
What are you doing on someone else's bed?\n
**[17:50] ---**
You're not, by any chance,\na deviant, are you?\n
**[17:52] ---**
I won't have you calling me a deviant.\n
**[17:56] ---**
People have things that\nthey won't tell anyone else,\n
**[17:58] ---**
but in their minds,\nthey find to be perfectly okay.\n
**[18:02] ---**
You know, how you will put\nyour mouth on the girl you like's flute,\n
**[18:05] ---**
or steal her bicycle seat.\n
**[18:08] ---**
No I don't!\n
**[18:09] ---**
Geez, is this really\nwhat it's like at a girls' school?\n
**[18:15] ---**
Come to think of it,\nif you're sharing a room with Misaka,\n
**[18:18] ---**
are you classmates?\nSince you always call her "Sissy,"\n
**[18:21] ---**
I figured she was your upperclassman.\n
**[18:23] ---**
Oh, no, I really am Sissy's underclassman.\n
**[18:28] ---**
I'm also a year behind her.\n
**[18:30] ---**
So then, why...\n
**[18:32] ---**
I had the previous roommate leave,\nand I took her place here.\n
**[18:38] ---**
And it was absolutely lawful.\n
**[18:43] ---**
Sissy has many enemies, after all.\n
**[18:46] ---**
Maybe that's what she\ngets for being so powerful,\n
**[18:48] ---**
but having someone who sleeps\nin the same room turning on her\n
**[18:51] ---**
is a bit too much to bear, don't you think?\n
**[18:55] ---**
So then, can I assume\nthat you are a gentleman\n
**[18:57] ---**
who frequently gets into quarrels with Sissy?\n
**[19:03] ---**
If not, then that's quite all right.\n
**[19:06] ---**
I just wanted to have even\na glimpse of the face of someone\n
**[19:09] ---**
who was supportive of Sissy.\n
**[19:12] ---**
Supportive?\n
**[19:20] ---**
Is she back?\n
**[19:21] ---**
Those footsteps... This is bad!\n
**[19:25] ---**
It looks like the head resident is doing a check!\n
**[19:28] ---**
What do we do? If they find out that there's a boy\n
**[19:31] ---**
in the Tokiwadai Girls' Dorms,\nthere'll be huge trouble!\n
**[19:35] ---**
I'm going to have to\nteleport you outside for a bit.\n
**[19:43] ---**
Why doesn't my power work on you?\n
**[19:46] ---**
Well, you see...\n
**[19:48] ---**
...it must be my right hand.\n
**[19:52] ---**
We don't have much choice.\nPlease, hide underneath the bed here.\n
**[19:59] ---**
Hey, I can't! There's not enough...\n
**[20:01] ---**
Just get under there!\n
**[20:08] ---**
...room under here.\n
**[20:11] ---**
Shirai, it's time for supper.\nGather at the dining hall.\n
**[20:15] ---**
Hmm? Where's Misaka?\n
**[20:17] ---**
Sissy is at her remedial lesson.\nPerhaps it went long.\n
**[20:21] ---**
I haven't heard anything\nabout that. If she is breaking curfew,\n
**[20:25] ---**
she and her roommate will jointly\nreceive one demerit. Understood?\n
**[20:30] ---**
Yes, of course.\n
**[20:41] ---**

She's been playing me.\n
**[21:25] ---**
Where is she? Where did she go?\n
**[21:41] ---**
The propellers are turning,\neven though the wind isn't blowing.\n
**[21:46] ---**
In wind-powered electricity,\nit's the turning of the propellers\n
**[21:49] ---**
that generates the electricity. \n
**[21:52] ---**
And contrarily, the propellers\nrotate when bathed in electricity.\n
**[21:58] ---**
There are electromagnetic\nwaves constantly emanating from her.\n

**[23:55] ---**
"Preview"\nThe shocking truth is written in that report.\n
**[23:57] ---**
As Misaka is weighed down to\nthe point of being crushed\n
**[24:00] ---**
by the cruel fate\nawaiting her younger sisters, I...\n

Next time, "Level 6."\n
