    Index says that she has\n103,000 volumes of grimoires\n
[00:33] ---
    memorized inside her head.\n
[00:35] ---
    I somehow managed to avoid the sorcerer,\n
[00:37] ---
    but Index's injuries are severe.\n
[00:40] ---
    She says that they can\nbe treated by using magic,\n
[00:42] ---
    but the students in this city\nare unable to use this magic stuff.\n
[00:46] ---
    Which is why I've asked\nMiss Komoe for her help.\n
[00:57] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index"\n
[01:04] ---
    *From the reason why I live here *
[01:08] ---
    *to everything I encounter in this place, *
[01:12] ---
    *though we may be worlds apart *
[01:15] ---
    *wherever I am, my feelings won't budge *
[01:26] ---
    *I'll turn my back to the pain *
[01:31] ---
    *that stabs at my heart, and the sneering *
[01:37] ---
    *of those lucky people who look on *
[01:42] ---
    *My fate invites the inevitable suffering *
[01:48] ---
    *My legs, starting to shake, remember...
[01:54] ---
    ...with conviction *
[01:56] ---
    *Protecting requires more than just dreams *
[02:00] ---
    *and unreliable power *
[02:03] ---
    *My hand now knows that, so I won't waver *

    "#03 Necessarius (The Church of Necessary Evil)"\nWhat is the current time?\n
[02:23] ---
    "#03 Necessarius (The Church of Necessary Evil)"\nWhat time is it, Japan Standard Time? Also, the date, please?\n
[02:25] ---
    \nWhat time is it, Japan Standard Time? Also, the date, please?\n
[02:29] ---
    July 20th, half past 8 p.m.\n
[02:34] ---
    You didn't appear to look\nat a clock. Is that time precise?\n
[02:39] ---
    There aren't any clocks\nin my place to begin with.\n
[02:42] ---
    My internal clock is\naccurate to the second,\n
[02:46] ---
    so that's not an issue. \n
[02:48] ---
    My eating habits and\nexercise rhythms are fixed,\n
[02:50] ---
    so I can regulate my internal clock.\n
[02:55] ---
    Judging by the stars' positions\nand the phase of the moon,\n
[02:57] ---
    it is consistent with Sirius' position\n
[03:00] ---
    to within a 0.038 margin of error.\n
[03:02] ---
    I can thereby confirm it.\nThe current time, Japan Standard Time,\n
[03:07] ---
    is July 20th, 8:30 p.m., is that right?\n
[03:10] ---
    Yes. To be precise,\nwe just passed the 53 second mark.\n
[03:16] ---
    N-No, you mustn't get up!\n
[03:18] ---
    It is no matter. I can regenerate.\n
[03:31] ---
    The cusp of Cancer.\n
[03:33] ---
    The hours between 8 p.m. and 12\nmidnight. The direction facing west.\n
[03:37] ---
    The protection of Undine,\nthe angel as cherub...\n
[03:41] ---
    What is that you're doing?\n
[03:42] ---
    Magic.\n
[03:44] ---
    From this point on, I will need\nto borrow your hands and your body.\n
[03:49] ---
    If you will do as I instruct you,\n
[03:51] ---
    we will get through\nthis with no one getting hurt,\n
[03:53] ---
    and no one will end up\nholding anything against you.\n
[03:55] ---
    Whatever, just lie down.\nWe'll wait for the ambulance. Let's see...\n
[03:59] ---
    Bandages... bandages...\n
[04:01] ---
    It will be impossible to\ncompletely close up my wound \n
[04:05] ---
    with those measures. I do not\nunderstand the word "ambulance,"\n
[04:08] ---
    but will it be able to\ncompletely close up my wound,\n
[04:11] ---
    as well as restore the life\nforce, mana, to necessary levels\n
[04:14] ---
    within my body in the next several minutes?\n
[04:19] ---
    So, what should I do? I am not a magical girl.\n
[04:25] ---
    I am grateful for your cooperation.\n
[04:30] ---
    First...\n
[04:32] ---
    What is that black item over there?\n
[04:37] ---
    This is a game memory card.\n
[04:41] ---
    Please place it in the center of the table.\n
[04:44] ---
    It's a tea table, actually.\n
[04:49] ---
    Is this a miniature of the room?\n
[04:53] ---
    The materials have no bearing. \n
[04:54] ---
    As long as the forms\nand functions are the same,\n
[04:56] ---
    the ceremony is possible.\n
[05:07] ---
    What are those?\n
[05:08] ---
    The placement of the beer cans. \n
[05:10] ---
    But more importantly,\nI'd be most appreciative\n
[05:12] ---
    if you follow my instructions precisely.\n
[05:14] ---
    If there are any missteps in the process,\n
[05:17] ---
    there is a risk of your neural\nnetwork and pathways burning out.\n
[05:22] ---
    Failure would mean the\ndestruction of your body, and death.\n
[05:26] ---
    That is what I'm telling you.\n
[05:29] ---
    We will call down an angel,\nand create a temple.\n
[05:31] ---
    Please follow after me, and chant.\n
[06:10] ---
    Link established.\n
[06:12] ---
    Link?\n
[06:14] ---
    The temple we created on\nthis table is linked with this room.\n
[06:18] ---
    Whatever happens in this\nroom will also happen on the table.\n
[06:22] ---
    Whatever happens on the table\nwill also happen inside the room.\n
[06:27] ---
    Now, visualize!\n
[06:29] ---
    H-Huh?\n
[06:30] ---
    A golden angel, with the\nbody of a child, and two wings--\n
[06:34] ---
    the form of a beautiful angel!\n
[06:37] ---
    An angel...\n
[06:45] ---
    You can't tell me to\nsuddenly create an angel...\n
[06:49] ---
    H-Huh...?\n
[06:56] ---
    You are not actually summoning an angel.\n
[06:58] ---
    As the spellcaster, you create\nthe form of an angel by your will.\n
[07:03] ---
    R-Right.\n
[07:04] ---
    A cute angel... A cute angel... \n
[07:08] ---
    A cute angel... A cute angel...\nA cute angel... \n
[07:14] ---
    A cute angel... A cute angel...\n
[07:29] ---
    Huh?\n
[07:30] ---
    I'm not really summoning an angel, you say?\n
[07:38] ---
    Form stabilization has failed.\n
[07:40] ---
    So long as the temple is protected\nby the minimum blue color Undine,\n
[07:44] ---
    it is no matter. We will continue.\n
[07:49] ---
    A cute angel... A cute angel...\nA cute angel... A cute angel... \n
[07:56] ---
    A cute angel... A cute angel... \n
[08:00] ---
    A cute angel... A cute angel...\nA cute angel... \n
[08:56] ---
    Mana replenishment being achieved,\naversion of mortal danger confirmed.\n
[09:00] ---
    John's Pen returning to dormancy.\n
[09:07] ---
    Are you all right?\n
[09:09] ---
    I just need my own strength to recover now.\n
[09:13] ---
    The wound itself has closed up, so I'll be fine.\n
[09:17] ---
    Thank goodness I didn't\nbring anything down on him.\n
[09:21] ---
    Bring anything down on him?\n
[09:24] ---
    If I had died here, it may\nhave weighed heavily on him.\n
[09:30] ---
    You are more concerned about\nKamijo than you are about yourself?\n
[09:37] ---
    I don't know.\n
[09:39] ---
    Somehow, I don't really know... but...\n
[09:55] ---
    For that matter,\n
[09:57] ---
    how is it that the beer-loving, chain-smoking,\n
[09:59] ---
    grown-up Miss Komoe's pajamas\nare such a perfect match for you?\n
[10:03] ---
    Geez, what is the difference in your ages?\n
[10:08] ---
    I wish you wouldn't talk down to us.\n
[10:10] ---
    I think that these pajamas might be\n
[10:12] ---
    a bit too tight in the chest, even for me.\n
[10:14] ---
    Y-You're making fun of me!\n
[10:17] ---
    Huh? But...\n
[10:19] ---
    But what?\n
[10:20] ---
    Nothing.\n
[10:22] ---
    I am an adult.\n
[10:25] ---
    By the way, Kamijo,\njust who is this girl to you?\n
[10:32] ---
    Younger sister.\n
[10:35] ---
    -- You've taken your lies too far!\n-- Ah, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!\n
[10:36] ---
    -- She's a silver-haired, blue-eyed foreign national!\n-- I'm sorry I lied! Forgive me!\n
[10:40] ---
    Kamijo!\n
[10:43] ---
    Teacher, can I ask one question?\n
[10:46] ---
    Yes?\n
[10:48] ---
    Are you asking for this information\n
[10:50] ---
    so that you can report all of this\nto Academy City's governing board?\n
[10:53] ---
    Yes. I don't really know what kind of trouble\n
[10:56] ---
    you've gotten yourselves wrapped up in, Kamijo,\n
[10:59] ---
    but now that it has taken\nplace within Academy City,\n
[11:01] ---
    it is the instructors' place\nand grown-ups' duty to resolve it.\n
[11:08] ---
    Kamijo, now that I know\nyou're crossing a perilous bridge,\n
[11:11] ---
    I'm not such a child\nthat I won't say anything.\n
[11:15] ---
    Teacher, if you were a perfect stranger,\n
[11:17] ---
    I'd involve you without a second thought,\n
[11:19] ---
    but since I'm in your debt,\nI don't want to involve you.\n
[11:24] ---
    I'm not going to let you get\naway with trying to brush this aside\n
[11:27] ---
    with a few well-spoken words.\n
[11:30] ---
    Huh? Where are you going?\n
[11:33] ---
    I'm putting you on probation.\nI'm going to the supermarket\n
[11:36] ---
    to buy some groceries. \n
[11:39] ---
    You're going to think long and\nhard about what you're going to say\n
[11:42] ---
    until I get back, Kamijo. Also...\n
[11:46] ---
    Also...?\n
[11:47] ---
    I might forget while\nI'm caught up in my shopping.\n
[11:52] ---
    Once I get back,\nyou're going to have to speak to me,\n
[11:54] ---
    and not try to weasel\nyour way around it, okay?\n
[12:17] ---
    She's a nice person, huh? \n
[12:20] ---
    You mean Miss Komoe?\n
[12:22] ---
    Mm-hmm.\n
[12:23] ---
    We can't involve my teacher any further, huh?\n
[12:26] ---
    No. She shouldn’t use any more magic.\n
[12:30] ---
    These grimoires are dangerous.\n
[12:33] ---
    They have unconventional\nideas and altered laws written in them.\n
[12:37] ---
    That "different world" is toxic to "this world,"\n
[12:40] ---
    when faced with good and evil. \n
[12:42] ---
    Toxic?\n
[12:44] ---
    Mm-hmm. Sorcerers aside,\nwhen people of "this world"\n
[12:49] ---
    learn the knowledge of the "different world,"\n
[12:51] ---
    it damages their brains just that much.\n
[12:54] ---
    Damages? Is that what magic is?\n
[12:58] ---
    Do you want to know?\n
[13:00] ---
    Do you really want to know what I carry?\n
[13:07] ---
    What can I say? You make\nme sound like I'm your priest.\n
[13:13] ---
    You're right. You're like\na priest, hearing confessions.\n
[13:20] ---
    There used to be\nonly one Church of the Cross,\n
[13:23] ---
    so why do you think\nthere are so many divisions now?\n
[13:27] ---
    Hmm... well...\n
[13:30] ---
    It's because politics got mixed in with religion.\n
[13:33] ---
    They fractured, opposed each other,\n
[13:35] ---
    and ended up walking separate paths.\n
[13:38] ---
    Even though they all believe in the same God.\n
[13:40] ---
    They each evolved in their own way,\nand gained their own character.\n
[13:45] ---
    Yeah, character.\n
[13:46] ---
    The English Puritan Church that I'm in...\n
[13:51] ---
    England is a country of magic, \n
[13:54] ---
    so things like witch hunting,\nand inquisitions,\n
[13:56] ---
    and other anti-sorcery cultural elements\n
[13:58] ---
    became exceptionally developed.\n
[14:00] ---
    That's why English Puritanism\nhas a special unit.\n
[14:04] ---
    One to counter sorcerers, investigate magic,\n
[14:07] ---
    and come up with countermeasures--\n
[14:08] ---
    The Church of Necessary Evil, Necessarius.\n
[14:11] ---
    Necessarius?\n
[14:12] ---
    But when understanding the unclean enemy,\nthe mind becomes unclean,\n
[14:16] ---
    and when contacting the unclean enemy,\nthe body becomes unclean.\n
[14:19] ---
    The unit single-handedly takes\non this "uncleanness," \n
[14:22] ---
    the worst of which is... \n
[14:26] ---
    Those 103,000 volumes?\n
[14:28] ---
    Mm-hmm. Magic is something like a formula,\n
[14:33] ---
    so if you work it backwards well enough,\n
[14:34] ---
    you can even neutralize your opponent's attack.\n
[14:38] ---
    By knowing all of the magic in the world,\n
[14:40] ---
    you should be able to neutralize\nall of the magic in the world,\n
[14:43] ---
    which is why I had the 103,000 grimoires...\n
[14:47] ---
    ...drilled into you.\n
[14:50] ---
    Hmph, if they're that dangerous,\n
[14:52] ---
    you could just burn them\nwithout reading them, couldn't you?\n
[14:55] ---
    It's not the books that are important,\nit's what's inside them.\n
[14:58] ---
    So even if the original texts are gone,\n
[14:59] ---
    if they've been passed\non to someone, there's no point.\n
[15:02] ---
    Besides, humans wouldn't\nbe able to dispose of the originals.\n
[15:05] ---
    Or more accurately, the human mind cannot.\n
[15:09] ---
    And it's because they couldn't \n
[15:10] ---
    that they had no\nother choice but to seal them up.\n
[15:14] ---
    So what you're saying is that they\nwant to get their hands on the bomb\n
[15:16] ---
    that's inside your head, right?\n
[15:21] ---
    If they could use all\nof the 103,000 volumes,\n
[15:23] ---
    they could warp the world thoroughly.\n
[15:29] ---
    Why, you little...\n
[15:31] ---
    Why did you wait until now\nto tell me something so important?!\n
[15:35] ---
    Well, I didn't think you would believe me,\n
[15:38] ---
    and I didn't want to scare you.\nWhat's more, you know...\n
[15:43] ---
    ...I didn't want you to not to like me.\n
[15:45] ---
    Don't give me that!\nHow dare you treat me like that!\n
[15:49] ---
    Church of Necessary Evil?! \n
[15:50] ---
    Necessarius?!\n
[15:51] ---
    103,000 grimoires?!\n
[15:54] ---
    It was an outrageous tale,\nthat I still can't believe even now,\n
[15:58] ---
    but even so,\nthat's all there is to it, right?\n
[16:05] ---
    Don't look down your nose at me.\n
[16:07] ---
    You think I would say you're icky,\n
[16:10] ---
    just because you'd\nmemorized 103,000 books?\n
[16:14] ---
    Have a little faith in me.\nDon't go measuring up people on your own.\n
[16:29] ---
    Come on, I've got my right hand,\n
[16:32] ---
    so sorcerers are no match for me.\n
[16:34] ---
    But you said you had to go to\nthe school for remedial classes, so...\n
[16:39] ---
    I said that?\n
[16:40] ---
    You certainly did.\n
[16:44] ---
    Well never mind about school.\n
[16:46] ---
    Then, why did you say\nyou had to go to school?\n
[16:50] ---
    That you had something to do?\n
[16:52] ---
    Is my being around cramping your style?\n
[16:55] ---
    Well, I'm sorry.\n
[17:08] ---
    How is Index?\n
[17:09] ---
    Still alive.\n
[17:11] ---
    I searched for the identity\nof the boy who is with her.\n
[17:15] ---
    So, what is with his right hand?\n
[17:18] ---
    At the very least, he appears to be\n
[17:20] ---
    something other than an esper or a sorcerer.\n
[17:23] ---
    What is he? You mean to tell me\nhe's just an ordinary high-schooler?\n
[17:29] ---
    Come off it. The world is not\nso forgiving that a rank amateur\n
[17:33] ---
    with no power at all could repel Innocentius.\n
[17:37] ---
    You're right. In fact, the problem is,\n
[17:40] ---
    he fits in the category of a hopeless\nstudent who's quick to fight.\n
[17:46] ---
    Could his information be deliberately blocked?\n
[17:49] ---
    What's more, Index's wounds\nwere healed by magic.\n
[17:54] ---
    Kanzaki, is there some other magic\ncabal here in the far east?\n
[18:00] ---
    If they're working in Academy City,\n
[18:02] ---
    the governing board's antennas\nshould have picked them up.\n
[18:06] ---
    The number of the enemy forces is unknown,\n
[18:08] ---
    and we have no reinforcements to face them.\n
[18:10] ---
    She seems to be having fun, huh?\n
[18:13] ---
    She really seems to be having fun.\n
[18:16] ---
    She always seems to enjoy how she lives her life.\n
[18:19] ---
    I wonder, just how long do we\nhave to keep tearing that apart?\n
[18:24] ---
    Having mixed feelings? As someone\nwho was once in that position?\n
[18:30] ---
    Same old same old.\n
[18:34] ---
    As it turned out, once Miss Komoe\ncame back from the supermarket,\n
[18:38] ---
    she let us stay at her apartment\nwithout asking for any more information.\n
[18:42] ---
    Whether she got distracted by\nher shopping and forgot,\n
[18:45] ---
    or just pretended to forget the whole thing,\n
[18:48] ---
    I didn't ask.\n
[18:52] ---
    ♪ Bath time! Bath time! ♪\n
[18:54] ---
    ♪ Bath time! ♪\n
[18:56] ---
    ♪ Bath time! Bath time! Bath time! ♪\n
[19:05] ---
    Toma! Toma!\n
[19:07] ---
    Toma!\n
[19:09] ---
    Nothing! It seems kind of\nfunny to call someone's name,\n
[19:12] ---
    when you don't want anything.\n
[19:14] ---
    Huh, Toma?\n
[19:15] ---
    There is something I want to ask you.\n
[19:18] ---
    Komoe mentioned something.\n
[19:20] ---
    Japanese bathhouses\nhave something called coffee milk.\n
[19:24] ---
    You do this...\n
[19:26] ---
    ...and this...\n
[19:27] ---
    ...and drink it with one hand on your hip.\n
[19:32] ---
    What is coffee milk?\nIs it like a cappuccino?\n
[19:36] ---
    You won't find anything\nthat elegant at a bathhouse.\n
[19:39] ---
    Still, a huge bathtub\nmight be pretty shocking for you.\n
[19:42] ---
    The majority in England\nare the tight, narrow baths, right?\n
[19:47] ---
    I'm not sure I can really say.\n
[19:49] ---
    Why not?\n
[19:50] ---
    Because the first thing\nI remember is being here in Japan.\n
[19:54] ---
    I don't really know about things back there.\n
[19:57] ---
    Hmm... No wonder your Japanese is so good.\n
[20:01] ---
    Mm-mm, I don't mean\nit like that. I was born in London,\n
[20:05] ---
    and as I understand it,\nI was raised in St. George's Cathedral.\n
[20:09] ---
    I only came here about\na year ago, or so I'm told.\n
[20:14] ---
    --So you're told?\n
[20:15] ---
    --Mm-hmm. I lost my memory, you see.\n--So you're told?\n
[20:19] ---
    When I first opened my eyes,\nI wasn't even sure who I was.\n
[20:24] ---
    I couldn't even remember\nwhat I had for supper the night before,\n
[20:27] ---
    but I had knowledge\nabout sorcerers, and the Index,\n
[20:29] ---
    and Necessarius,\nand so on spinning around in my head,\n
[20:33] ---
    so I was really scared. \n
[20:36] ---
    You mean, you don't even\nknow why you lost your memories?\n
[20:41] ---
    Mm-mm.\n
[20:47] ---
    Toma, are you upset?\n
[20:50] ---
    No, I'm not.\n
[20:51] ---
    If I've done anything\nto offend you, I'll apologize.\n
[20:54] ---
    Toma, what's set you off?\nIs it just that awkward age?\n
[20:58] ---
    Hearing about awkward\nages is really the last thing I need\n
[21:01] ---
    from someone whose\nbody is as undeveloped as yours.\n
