[00:37] ---
    Say, Toma,\n
[00:39] ---
    do you really have\nto go back to school today?\n
[00:42] ---
    Hmm? Oh, right. You'll be\nhere by yourself the whole time.\n
[00:48] ---
    I'm not saying that I'm lonesome,\n
[00:50] ---
    or that I hate being alone, or anything!\n
[00:54] ---
    We have to sit down and think\nhard sometime about what to do, huh?\n
[00:57] ---
    Sorry, but for today, stay here, okay?\n
[01:01] ---
    Toma, will you come right home?\n
[01:08] ---
    Yeah, okay. And when I get back,\nwant to go do something fun?\n
[01:13] ---
    Mm-hmm!\n
[01:15] ---
    Okay, I'm off. \n
[01:16] ---
    Mm-hmm. Come home soon!\n
[01:26] ---
    So then, what shall we amuse ourselves with?\n
[01:33] ---
    Huh? Toma, what about lunch?\n
[01:37] ---
    What do I do? This is an unprecedented crisis!\n

    Zapper...\n
[03:28] ---
    Heya!\n
[03:32] ---
    You sure are full of spunk so early in the morning.\n
[03:35] ---
    And you sure are taking things easy.\n
[03:37] ---
    I guess. A lot's been\ngoing on, and I'm worn out.\n
[03:40] ---
    W-What, you mean yesterday's boyfriend act\n
[03:43] ---
    was such an exhausting chore?!\n
[03:47] ---
    Well, it wasn't just that one thing.\n
[03:50] ---
    Not just one thing? You mean,\n
[03:52] ---
    you've been carrying on\nthe same thing with another girl?!\n
[03:55] ---
    Huh?\n
[03:56] ---
    Y-You're the only one who would ever ask me\n
[03:59] ---
    to do anything so embarrassing\nwithout batting an eye!\n
[04:02] ---
    Without batting an eye? That's not true!\n
[04:05] ---
    I had a real struggle with it, too.\n
[04:07] ---
    But even so, there was no other way to cope,\n
[04:09] ---
    so I had no choice but to\nswallow my pride and ask you!\n
[04:13] ---
    Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm sure you're right.\n
[04:16] ---
    Hey! Listen to me seriously!\n
[04:22] ---
    September 1st,\nthe 2nd term opening ceremony.\n
[04:25] ---
    But for me, having lost my\nmemory over summer vacation,\n
[04:29] ---
    I felt the same subtle nervousness\n
[04:30] ---
    that a transfer student does on their first day.\n
[04:37] ---
    Miss Komoe...\n
[04:39] ---
    Wait, can her feet even reach the brakes?\n
[04:46] ---
    I can drive, even if my\nfeet don't reach the brakes!\n
[04:53] ---
    My word,\n
[04:54] ---
    I don't think that that's the\nway I raised you to talk, Kamijo.\n
[04:58] ---
    Teacher, that's not a pop quiz, is it?\n
[05:03] ---
    I wouldn't do anything\nthat I hated having done to me\n
[05:06] ---
    when I was a student.\n
[05:08] ---
    A friend of mine asked\nme to collect some information.\n
[05:11] ---
    These are papers dealing with\nAIM diffusion fields.\n
[05:14] ---
    And what is an...?\n
[05:16] ---
    "An Involuntary Movement,"\nmeaning unmindful actions.\n
[05:21] ---
    Put simply, they are power\nfields that epsers emit, \n
[05:25] ---
    kind of like body heat.\n
[05:27] ---
    But then, they are so\nslight as to be immeasurable.\n
[05:32] ---
    So then, if there were an\nesper who could read those fields,\n
[05:35] ---
    they could go,\n"Hmm, I'm sensing an esper nearby,"\n
[05:38] ---
    is that what you're saying?\n
[05:40] ---
    Yes. And to take it even further,\n
[05:42] ---
    they may even be able to tell\nthe kind of ability and how strong it is.\n
[05:46] ---
    "Hmm, he has a battle power\nof 70,000 points."\n
[05:49] ---
    "Faculty Room"\n
[05:50] ---
    "Faculty Room"\nSomething like that. You see, there are people in the world\n
[05:53] ---
    "Faculty Room"\nwho are quite passionate about that sort of thing.\n
[06:04] ---
    Thanks again for always helping me.\n
[06:09] ---
    Hey, what's going on?\n
[06:11] ---
    Why are sorcerers being allowed\nto sneak in so easily?\n
[06:13] ---
    It is no matter.\n
[06:15] ---
    We are tracking down the\nintruders' whereabouts.\n
[06:21] ---
    Sherry Cromwell.\nShe's not a wandering sorcerer,\n
[06:24] ---
    she's a member of the\nEnglish Puritan Church's Necessarius.\n
[06:27] ---
    If she is brought down sloppily,\n
[06:29] ---
    it will cause a rift between\nthe church and Academy City.\n
[06:32] ---
    For neighbors who love each\nother to be at odds with each other...\n
[06:36] ---
    Anyhow, I'm going after Sherry.\n
[06:38] ---
    If someone from the same magic side does it,\n
[06:40] ---
    the waves it makes won't be as big.\n
[06:43] ---
    You don't have to get involved.\n
[06:46] ---
    You don't mean... Kamijo Toma again?!\n
[06:49] ---
    We can condense plans 2082 through 2377.\n
[06:54] ---
    The Imaginary Number School District's\nFive-Elemental control method?\n
[06:58] ---
    After all, this wild stallion\ncould tear the world apart.\n
[07:01] ---
    Safest to take hold of the reins\nagain as soon as possible.\n
[07:07] ---
    Huh? \n
[07:08] ---
    Hmm? What's wrong, Kami?\n
[07:10] ---
    Where's Tsuchimikado?\n
[07:12] ---
    Oh, now that you\nmention it, I haven't seen him.\n
[07:14] ---
    Don't tell me his homework isn't finished yet.\n
[07:17] ---
    I, on the other hand, forgot all of it,\n
[07:20] ---
    just to get Miss Komoe upset at me.\n
[07:23] ---
    Now, look...\n
[07:26] ---
    Okay, let's get homeroom started.\n
[07:29] ---
    I have some big news for\neveryone before the opening ceremony.\n
[07:32] ---
    Surprise! We're adding\na new transfer student today!\n
[07:38] ---
    She's a girl, by the way.\nCongratulations, all you dudes.\n
[07:42] ---
    Better luck next time, my little kittens.\n
[07:46] ---
    Okay,\n
[07:46] ---
    will the transfer student please come in.\n
[07:53] ---
    Index!\n
[07:54] ---
    Ah, it's Toma! This is the school you come to, all right.
[07:59] ---
    How did you get in here?\n
[08:01] ---
    --You are not the transfer student.\n--Oh, but...\n
[08:04] ---
    Out you go, out you go.\n
[08:07] ---
    Gee whiz, Sister,\n
[08:09] ---
    What are you doing, coming here?\n
[08:13] ---
    Here...\n
[08:14] ---
    Please find a taxi, and go straight home.\n
[08:18] ---
    Also, whatever you do,\ndon't go with any strangers, okay?\n
[08:25] ---
    Incidentally, the real transfer student is me...\n
[08:27] ---
    "Himegami Aisa"\n
[08:29] ---
    Himegami Aisa.\n
[08:34] ---
    I'm so hungry...\n
[08:38] ---
    "Cafeteria"\n
[08:45] ---
    "Lunch Vouchers"\n
[08:48] ---
    I've heard about these. \n
[08:49] ---
    If memory serves, food exchange\ntickets come out of them.\n
[08:55] ---
    Toma makes fun of me for my antique ways,\n
[08:58] ---
    but this much is easy. You put the money in...\n
[09:02] ---
    ...and just push the button.\n
[09:05] ---
    Huh?\n
[09:07] ---
    The buttons! There are no buttons!\n
[09:10] ---
    What do I do?\nIt's taken my money from me.\n
[09:14] ---
    Excuse me...\n
[09:16] ---
    You have to push the button.\n
[09:19] ---
    But there aren't any buttons anywhere.\n
[09:21] ---
    You see, you just touch the monitor.\n
[09:24] ---
    \nBut you can't touch the people inside the TV.\n
[09:27] ---
    "Cancel"\nBut you can't touch the people inside the TV.\n
[09:27] ---
    "Cancel"\n
[09:30] ---
    Then this TV connects with the inside, huh?\n
[09:33] ---
    Well, you see...\n
[09:36] ---
    Thank you. What's your name?\n
[09:40] ---
    I'm Kazakiri Hyoka.\n
[09:44] ---
    So then, I called out Toma's name,\n
[09:47] ---
    and not only did he not answer,\nhe looked away from me!\n
[09:50] ---
    Hmm, but still, only students\nand staff are allowed in the school.\n
[09:56] ---
    But what about you, Hyoka?\n
[09:58] ---
    Oh, I'm a transfer student.\n
[10:00] ---
    Then I'll be a transfer student, too!\n
[10:03] ---
    Um...\n
[10:04] ---
    I don't want to just leave without doing anything.\n
[10:06] ---
    And more than anything,\nI have to ask him what's up with lunch.\n
[10:10] ---
    Yes, but, in that outfit,\nyou draw too much attention.\n
[10:15] ---
    Then, what should I do?\n
[10:16] ---
    Um...\n
[10:18] ---
    ...if we were to go over there, then maybe...
[10:22] ---
    I hate to say it,\n
[10:24] ---
    but she sure does have a way\nof getting caught up in trouble fast.\n
[10:28] ---
    It stretches well,\nand the fabric washes clean easily.\n
[10:32] ---
    Amazing! This is what's called "hi-tech," right?\n
[10:36] ---
    Why that dumb little Sister...\n
[10:39] ---
    Hey, Index!\n
[10:40] ---
    What do you think\nyou're doing... in... here...?\n
[10:48] ---
    M-My mistake...\n
[10:50] ---
    Toma...!!\n
[11:06] ---
    Today's the opening ceremony,\nso I'll be home by noon.\n
[11:10] ---
    You don't know that for sure.\n
[11:12] ---
    Everybody knows that much.\n
[11:15] ---
    Then do you know something, Toma?\n
[11:17] ---
    Like in the English-style Church of the Cross,\n
[11:18] ---
    when performing ceremonies for\nmaking idols incorporating telesma,\n
[11:21] ---
    what the direction and the\nposition the caster is standing in\n
[11:24] ---
    has to do with it?\nIf you're off by even a little bit,\n
[11:26] ---
    it doesn't take effect. Do you know what the golden ratio is?
[11:30] ---
    You know, everyone knows that.\n
[11:33] ---
    Okay, Index, who is this?\n
[11:37] ---
    I don't really know, but she's my friend.\n
[11:39] ---
    You don't really know?\n
[11:42] ---
    I may not know her too well,\nbut Hyoka is my friend!\n
[11:45] ---
    M-My name is Kazakiri Hyoka.\n
[11:50] ---
    I'm Kamijo Toma.\n
[11:51] ---
    You're a transfer student?\n
[11:53] ---
    Y-Yes.\n
[11:54] ---
    Toma! Don't make Hyoka nervous!\n
[11:57] ---
    It's all right, Hyoka. \n
[11:59] ---
    Toma may be a rare\nsort of hormonally-challenged,\n
[12:01] ---
    indecisive teenager, who involves\nhimself with one girl after another,\n
[12:05] ---
    but he's a good person.\n
[12:06] ---
    Here, you can hold Sphinx. \n
[12:08] ---
    When you hold a cat,\nit helps to relieve your tension.\n
[12:11] ---
    His name is Sphinx?\n
[12:31] ---
    I wonder what's wrong.\n
[12:32] ---
    Animals have sharper senses than humans.\n
[12:35] ---
    Maybe he can tell the difference in our smells.\n
[12:40] ---
    Kamijo!\n
[12:42] ---
    You've got some nerve,\non the first day of 2nd term!\n
[12:44] ---
    Huh? Teacher, isn't the\nopening ceremony happening...?\n
[12:47] ---
    I'm here because I got worried\nwhen I didn't see you in the gym!\n
[12:52] ---
    And yet here you are, Kamijo...\n
[12:54] ---
    Yeah, well, uh...\n
[12:56] ---
    Why is it that girls are\nalways falling into your lap, Kamijo?!\n
[13:00] ---
    Are you producing some strange\nAIM diffusion field, or something?\n
[13:04] ---
    How do you figure that? \n
[13:06] ---
    Say, Kazakiri, say something here...\n
[13:10] ---
    Huh?\n
[13:13] ---
    Did she get fed up and leave?\n
[13:24] ---
    Um...\n
[13:26] ---
    Hyoka!\n
[13:27] ---
    That was something else, huh?\n
[13:29] ---
    It kind of took me by surprise.\n
[13:32] ---
    Komoe wasn't mad at us back there.\n
[13:34] ---
    There's nothing to be concerned about.\n
[13:38] ---
    You have kind of a\nsad look on your face, though.\n
[13:45] ---
    Toma was mad at me.\n
[13:48] ---
    He doesn't listen to anything I say,\nor smile even a little bit.\n
[13:55] ---
    Maybe Toma doesn't like me anymore.\n
[14:02] ---
    Friends who can have arguments\nare actually very close to each other.\n
[14:07] ---
    How come?\n
[14:09] ---
    If you're able to have an argument,\n
[14:11] ---
    it means you're able to make up afterward.\n
[14:13] ---
    I think he believes that you're\ninseparable, despite the arguments.\n
[14:18] ---
    Really?\n
[14:20] ---
    He's the kind of person who\ncares enough to get mad at you.\n
[14:23] ---
    I'm sure it's all right.\n
[14:26] ---
    Though he did talk to us with a straight face,\n
[14:28] ---
    even after seeing us undressed.\n
[14:31] ---
    Hey!\n
[14:32] ---
    Toma!\n
[14:35] ---
    Okay, wanna go get something to eat?\n
[14:37] ---
    We're not eating at home today?\n
[14:39] ---
    We're going someplace\nfun after we eat anyway, so...\n
[14:41] ---
    Care to join us, Kazakiri?\n
[14:47] ---
    Yeah! Hyoka, want to go together with us?\n
[14:49] ---
    --You're sure?\n
[14:50] ---
    --Let's go! Let's go!\n--You're sure?\n
[14:51] ---
    Well...\n
[14:54] ---
    Thanks.\n
[14:57] ---
    Hmm... Huh? I'm going to\ngo withdraw some money first.\n
[15:09] ---
    Himegami?\n
[15:10] ---
    I've just transferred in.\nWhy the watered-down reception?\n
[15:17] ---
    It's true, I am a girl who's\neasily overshadowed, huh?\n
[15:21] ---
    No, I, uh... I know! We're off\nto go have some fun. Care to join us?\n
[15:28] ---
    Komoe, you dummy...\n
[15:30] ---
    Huh?\n
[15:31] ---
    It's nothing. I've been asked to\ndo something, so I can't go.\n
[15:35] ---
    But never mind me, who is that?\n
[15:37] ---
    Kazakiri Hyoka, wasn't it?\n
[15:40] ---
    You're sure that's Kazakiri Hyoka?\n
[15:43] ---
    Yeah. That's what she and\nIndex both say. You know her?\n
[15:48] ---
    Kirigaoka Girls' School.\n
[15:50] ---
    The high school I went to earlier.\n
[15:53] ---
    I saw the name "Kazakiri Hyoka" there, too.\n
[15:56] ---
    Then, does she have a\nrare ability, too, like you do?\n
[16:00] ---
    I don't know.\n
[16:02] ---
    Her name was always posted at\nthe top of the test rankings,\n
[16:07] ---
    but no one had ever actually seen her.\n
[16:11] ---
    Nobody even knew what\nclass she was supposed to be in.\n
[16:13] ---
    What's up with that?\n
[16:15] ---
    It bothered me, so I looked\ninto it. That's how I found out.\n
[16:19] ---
    She is known as "Counter Stop."\n
[16:22] ---
    But that's not the most important part.\n
[16:26] ---
    Kazakiri Hyoka is the key to learning more about\n
[16:28] ---
    the Imaginary Number School\nDistrict's Five-Element Agency.\n
[16:31] ---
    Five-Element Agency? That really exists?\n
[16:35] ---
    Word is that they control the administration\n
[16:37] ---
    of Academy City from the shadows.\n
[16:40] ---
    I heard that she had her own special class,\n
[16:42] ---
    to investigate her own personal ability.\n
[16:45] ---
    It's said to be a lab, to find the true nature\n
[16:48] ---
    of the Imaginary Number School\nDistrict's Five-Element Agency.\n
[16:51] ---
    Why would she be here?\n
[16:54] ---
    She says she's a transfer student.\n
[16:57] ---
    But I should be the only transfer student.\n
[17:02] ---
    Be careful, okay?\n
[17:12] ---
    So this is the "underground world" I've heard about!\n
[17:15] ---
    Underground mall, underground mall.
[17:18] ---
    Index, is there anything you want to eat?\n
[17:21] ---
    Expensive places and places with long lines are out.\n
[17:24] ---
    I want a place with cheap,\nyummy food, and lots of it,\n
[17:26] ---
    that hardly anyone knows about!\n
[17:28] ---
    Okay, okay. Kazakiri, how about you?\n
[17:34] ---
    Have I done something?\n
[17:35] ---
    Oh, no... It's not that I'm scared, or anything...\n
[17:41] ---
    ...but you have seen me undressed.\n
[17:43] ---
    Oh, nothing!\n
[17:51] ---
    A secret get-together with\na girl from outside the school?\n
[17:55] ---
    If only the honor students from\nmy class would do something so crazy.\n
[18:00] ---
    Geez, you people in\nAntiskill have a problem, too!\n
[18:04] ---
    What would you do if the\nintruder is someone dangerous?\n
[18:08] ---
    Yeah, yeah. So, the story\nis that there are two intruders.\n
[18:15] ---
    There's one thing I want to verify.\n
[18:18] ---
    Are there really... two of them?\n
[18:27] ---
    Yes, Yomikawa.\n
[18:30] ---
    I'll be right there.\n
[18:32] ---
    Is it some Antiskill work?\n
[18:34] ---
    Sounds like there's a huge catch\nout there. I need to go. See you!\n
[18:48] ---
    I brought the book you asked for.\n
[18:51] ---
    "Easy-to-Understand AIM Diffusion Fields"\n
[18:51] ---
    "Easy-to-Understand AIM Diffusion Fields"\nGood work, Himegami.\n
[18:55] ---
    Miss Komoe...\n
[18:56] ---
    Yes?\n
[18:58] ---
    Is there a student at this\nschool named Kazakiri Hyoka?\n
[19:09] ---
    There you are.\n
[19:15] ---
    --An evacuation order! \n--Run!\n
[19:20] ---
    Could I please ask you not to move?\n
[19:24] ---
    I am Shirai Kuroko, with Judgment,\n
[19:27] ---
    charged with maintaining the safety of this city.\n
[19:31] ---
    I don't suppose I need to spell out the reason\n
[19:33] ---
    why you're being taken into custody.\n
[19:35] ---
    Search suspended.\nMake trouble for me, will you?\n
[19:40] ---
    I asked you kindly not to move.\n
[19:52] ---
    Does Japanese not get through to you?\n
[20:06] ---
    What is this?!\n
[20:11] ---
    It couldn't be! An outsider,\nwho's also an esper?\n
[20:14] ---
    This is not good! I have to regroup--\n
[20:22] ---
    I don't know what all the commotion is,\n
[20:25] ---
    but don't you dare lay a hand on my friend!\n
[20:40] ---
    You're all right now.\n
[20:43] ---
    It looks like that big guy was just a decoy.\n
[20:47] ---
    If you're after someone, then that means...\n
[20:50] ---
    Yes, it appears that she was a criminal trespasser.\n
[20:54] ---
    Sissy...!\n
[20:56] ---
    Hey...\n
[20:58] ---
    Good grief.\n
[21:01] ---
    Kuroko, it's all right to\ncount on me a little more, okay?\n
[21:04] ---
    Don't go thinking that\nyou don't want to put me out.\n
[21:11] ---
    This is indeed a one-in-a-million chance!\n
[21:14] ---
    Once I get this close to you, Sissy,\n
[21:15] ---
    I can snuggle within the\nvalley of your breasts all I want!\n
[21:18] ---
    E-Easy, now...! Kuroko, that's not what I meant!\n
[21:24] ---
    As was widespread before the\ntime of Noah's Ark,\n
[21:26] ---
    and even now, in fragments\nof knowledge being spread\n
[21:30] ---
    from the chief Grigori in a different manner...\n
[21:34] ---
    First, there was the primordial earth.\n
[21:36] ---
    God gave form to the dust of the earth,\n
[21:38] ---
    breathed life into it, and called it man.\n
[21:42] ---
    In time, this secret process was revealed to\nman, by fallen beings who came to earth.\n
[21:46] ---
    However, it was a work that\ncould not be performed by human hands.\n
[21:51] ---
    As such, the life that\nwas brought forth by my hand\n
[21:55] ---
    was no more than a corrupt mud man.\n
[21:58] ---
    The begrimed Golem Ellis,\nworking himself weary for my sake.\n
[22:18] ---
    Don't keep me waiting too long, Ellis.\n
