[00:31] ---
    I, Kamijo Toma,
    am an unlucky person.
[00:36] ---
    Just look back over the last seven
    days of the Daihasei Festival,
[00:39] ---
    and you'll be able to tell.
[00:41] ---
    Even having cleared up the
    outrageous problem from the first day,
[00:44] ---
    from the second day onward,
[00:46] ---
    I accidentally witnessed
    Miss Komoe changing...
[00:50] ---
    ...immediately got head-butted by a
    completely recovered Fukiyose Seiri...
[00:55] ---
    ...was hit by a gumball from the
    wheelchair Himegami Aisa was in...
[00:59] ---
    ...and right as I was being forced
    to do a folk dance with Misaka Mikoto...
[01:04] ---
    I took a dropkick to the back of
    the head from Shirai Kuroko.
[01:07] ---
    For some reason,
    I feel run pretty ragged now.
[01:13] ---
    To repeat, I, Kamijo Toma,
    am an unlucky--
[01:18] ---
    Congratulations!
[01:19] ---
    In the Spectator Numbers game,
    held on the last day of the Daihasei Festival,
[01:23] ---
    the number you
    selected took first place!
[01:26] ---
    Your prize is... a 7-day, 5-night
    trip for two to Northern Italy!
[01:27] ---
    "1st Place: Northern Italy
    (7-day, 5-night trip for two)"
[01:31] ---
    "Spectator Numbers"
[01:34] ---
    Huh? A trip to Italy?
[01:55] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[01:59] ---
    I gazed at the coin I had flipped
[02:04] ---
    If it's heads I go, tails I stay
[02:08] ---
    Let me know your answer first
[02:14] ---
    "Please, won't you tell me?"
[02:19] ---
    But the angel continued
    to smile in discernment

[02:30] ---
    Wander on! There's nobody
    to lead you by the hand

[02:35] ---
    The answer handed down
    from God is one of woe

[02:40] ---
    Yes, that is what your gift from God is
[02:46] ---
    Once you overcome it, you'll start to see, so right now...
    (Look for it by oneself, no buts about it)

[02:53] ---
    No buts!
[03:08] ---
    #14 City of Water
[03:09] ---
    Not to keep harping on it, but I,
    Kamijo Toma, am an unlucky person.
[03:14] ---
    I don't have a passport, do I?!
[03:16] ---
    Hmm? What's a passport?
[03:20] ---
    I knew it, all right. I knew
    this would happen from the start.
[03:24] ---
    And it's only two days to the trip.
[03:26] ---
    Even if I requested
    a passport today-- Huh?
[03:35] ---
    Well if it isn't my passport!
[03:38] ---
    What do you know?
    Have I ever gone overseas?
[03:41] ---
    Toma! Toma!
    I've got something a lot like that!
[03:50] ---
    Hey, you don't have any
    stamps or writing in here, you know!
[03:55] ---
    Just how did you manage to
    get all the way here?
[03:58] ---
    So anyway, Toma,
[03:59] ---
    if I've got one of those,
[04:01] ---
    does that mean I can go
    on your trip together with you?
[04:06] ---
    Er... Huh?
[04:08] ---
    Right now, I get the
    feeling it would be okay.
[04:10] ---
    Despite the fact that
    I'm an unlucky person.
[04:13] ---
    "International Airport"
[04:14] ---
    You haven't forgotten anything, right?
[04:16] ---
    Your wallet, your passport,
    your plane ticket,
[04:19] ---
    your necessary documents,
    something to change into...
[04:21] ---
    Eh, what else?
[04:22] ---
    Toma! Toma! Why are you
    being such a worrywart over this?
[04:26] ---
    Y-Yeah, you're right.
    Yeah, it's okay to enjoy this, isn't it?
[04:31] ---
    Okay! For these seven days
    and five nights in Northern Italy,
[04:34] ---
    I'm going to relish some happiness
[04:35] ---
    for the first time in a long, long while!
[04:38] ---
    Yeah!
[04:44] ---
    U-Uh, is something wrong?
[04:46] ---
    What is this?
[04:47] ---
    Huh?
[04:50] ---
    Damn! We have to run, Index!
    You need something more proper to wear,
[04:53] ---
    or they won't let us on the plane!
[04:55] ---
    Huh? What, Toma?
    You're going to buy me some clothes?
[04:58] ---
    The shopping area is
    another 1.5 kilometers ahead.
[05:00] ---
    We only have twenty-eight minutes
    before the plane takes off!
[05:03] ---
    Damn it! I knew this would be my luck!
[05:19] ---
    Man, we sure are close to the sea, huh?
[05:21] ---
    It would be more accurate
    to say the sea surrounds us
[05:24] ---
    than to say we're close to it.
    The center of Chioggia here
[05:27] ---
    is an island city in the Adriatic Sea.
[05:30] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[05:43] ---
    Whoo... after running around
    buying a ton of safety pins
[05:46] ---
    after getting to the airport and
    having our guide leave us behind,
[05:50] ---
    I was worried there for a
    second what would happen,
[05:53] ---
    but we finally made it here.
[05:54] ---
    For you to survive in an
    international society nowadays, Toma,
[05:58] ---
    you should speak
    at least three languages.
[06:00] ---
    Ungh, having a crazy Sister
    like you talking to me about
[06:03] ---
    "nowadays" and "at leasts" is too much.
[06:13] ---
    We can eat after we
    drop off our luggage at the hotel.
[06:16] ---
    I know! You don't have
    to come out and say so!
[06:22] ---
    Listen, the food is fine and all,
[06:22] ---
    Is that authentic squid ink gelato?
[06:24] ---
    but once we finish checking in,
[06:25] ---
    let's go into Venice!
[06:27] ---
    I've always wanted to ride in a gondola!
[06:32] ---
    Huh?
[06:34] ---
    Hey! Index!
[06:38] ---
    Index!
[06:40] ---
    Hey! Index!
[06:44] ---
    If I keep this up,
    I'm the one who'll end up lost.
[06:47] ---
    [speaking Italian]
[06:51] ---
    Huh?
[06:52] ---
    [speaking Italian]
[06:59] ---
    "H-Hallo." No, that's not it. What is it?
[07:03] ---
    [speaking Italian]
[07:11] ---
    [speaking Italian]
[07:15] ---
    Oh, should I not
    have done that just now?
[07:19] ---
    It looked to me like you
    were at a loss as to what to do.
[07:23] ---
    O-Orsola?
[07:26] ---
    Yes.
[07:28] ---
    What are you doing in a place like this?
[07:31] ---
    Oh, I kind of won a 7-day,
    5-night trip to Northern Italy.
[07:35] ---
    For that matter, Orsola,
    why are you here?
[07:37] ---
    I thought you were in London.
[07:39] ---
    I still kept a residence
    here until just the other day.
[07:43] ---
    When I, you know, moved
    from the Roman Orthodox Church
[07:46] ---
    to the English Puritan Church,
    it was a bit of a commotion.
[07:50] ---
    I still have some
    things remaining here,
[07:53] ---
    but the Amakusa are kind enough
    to help out, just like movers.
[07:58] ---
    Wait, the Amakusa?
    You mean those Amakusa?
[08:03] ---
    By the way, were you out shopping?
[08:06] ---
    Huh? Oh, no, actually,
[08:08] ---
    while I'm glad to have come
    here together with Index,
[08:11] ---
    she up and disappeared somewhere.
[08:13] ---
    Then our meeting
    here is a turn of fate.
[08:16] ---
    This works out perfectly. Can I ask
    you to help me move my things?
[08:22] ---
    Huh?
[08:22] ---
    Well, like I said,
    I have to find Index, so...
[08:26] ---
    Oh, if you are looking for Miss Index...
[08:29] ---
    Huh?
[08:30] ---
    Toma! Toma! Toma!
[08:32] ---
    Toma! As delicious as the gelato is here,
[08:36] ---
    this is still the discount,
    economy size!
[08:40] ---
    Yum!
[08:43] ---
    ...I saw her pressed up against
    the window of a storefront
[08:46] ---
    specializing in gelato
    a short while ago,
[08:49] ---
    so I asked a friend of mine to
    invite her back to my residence.
[08:55] ---
    And you left me behind...
[08:58] ---
    Ah, Orsola, is lunch ready yet?
[09:01] ---
    Yes, it is almost time.
[09:03] ---
    Hooray!
[09:05] ---
    Just my luck.
[09:07] ---
    That is the man who is a
    respected colleague of His Holiness?
[09:10] ---
    But then, how powerful can he be?
[09:13] ---
    You only question as much
[09:14] ---
    because you did not assist
    in rescuing Sister Orsola.
[09:18] ---
    That is the gentleman
    who went up against
[09:20] ---
    the Roman Orthodox
    Warrior Sisters unarmed,
[09:22] ---
    and declared war
    against them all by himself.
[09:26] ---
    He has also witnessed
    the Priestess in the altogether,
[09:28] ---
    and despite being belted by
    her Shichiten Shichito sword's sheath,
[09:31] ---
    he did not even
    need bandaging afterward.
[09:35] ---
    He's a monster.
[09:37] ---
    What kind of screwed-up
    appraisal is that?
[09:42] ---
    Wow! This looks delicious!
[09:42] ---
    Wow! This looks delicious!
[09:45] ---
    But are you sure? We haven't
    helped out with moving at all yet.
[09:50] ---
    The offering of my hospitality
    to you two comes first.
[09:55] ---
    Well, don't mind if we do.
[10:01] ---
    Would you like to use this?
[10:06] ---
    Thanks.
[10:07] ---
    Not at all.
[10:11] ---
    Itsuwa, how do you feel your
    wet towel operation went?
[10:14] ---
    You dummy, it's too
    soon to see any results.
[10:17] ---
    Let things run their course.
[10:19] ---
    Isn't this kind of taking the long way?
[10:20] ---
    Aren't they going to eat with us?
[10:23] ---
    They said that they
    are in training or something,
[10:25] ---
    and that they must
    observe a set meal etiquette.
[10:27] ---
    Toma!
[10:29] ---
    Go ahead, please,
    before your food becomes cold.
[10:33] ---
    Okay, then--
[10:34] ---
    Thank you for this meal!
[10:34] ---
    Thank you for this meal!
[10:42] ---
    Yum!
[10:42] ---
    Yum!
[10:43] ---
    What is this? Can pasta
    really be this delicious?
[10:46] ---
    This tastes about 500 times better
    than what you always make, Toma.
[10:49] ---
    You've got no right to complain,
[10:51] ---
    but this really is good,
    so who cares? Yum!
[10:54] ---
    Yum! Yum!
[10:55] ---
    By the way, is the purpose
    of your trip to see Venice?
[11:00] ---
    Well, yeah it is, but we
    can't seem to reach our tour guide.
[11:05] ---
    I would love for you to see Venice.
[11:09] ---
    "The City of Water,"
    "The Queen of the Adriatic,"
[11:12] ---
    it is expressed in many
    ways, so beautiful the city is.
[11:17] ---
    Well then, I guess
    we'll go have a look. Index...
[11:19] ---
    (As long as I have this food,
    I could stay here forever)
[11:24] ---
    What are you even saying?
[11:32] ---
    All righty...
[11:47] ---
    I guess packing the dishes is next.
[11:50] ---
    Orsola! Where did you say
    your stock of newspaper is?
[11:54] ---
    It is right over here.
[12:08] ---
    The pairing of that voice
    and the sound of water means...
[12:11] ---
    Wah! Toma!
[12:13] ---
    I'm starting to get all dirty.
[12:16] ---
    If you like, you are
    welcome to take a shower.
[12:19] ---
    You must be worn
    out from your long trip.
[12:22] ---
    Whoa-ho! It's the
    old bathroom trap, is it?
[12:26] ---
    Whew, I almost fell for it, too--
[12:31] ---
    A voice coming from here, too?
[12:33] ---
    What is this?
    What the hell is going on?
[12:44] ---
    It's a fundamental premise
    that there are not two bathrooms.
[12:47] ---
    One of them will be,
    the other one won't be.
[12:50] ---
    Damn, what kind of choice
    between two extremes is this?!
[12:53] ---
    Right... no, left... No, wait!
[12:56] ---
    The shower sounds
    are only coming from the left,
[12:58] ---
    so the correct answer is... the right!
[13:01] ---
    I figured it out!
[13:05] ---
    At that moment, I wondered to myself,
[13:08] ---
    why didn't I think of the simple solution
[13:10] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:11] ---
    of knocking first to make
    sure what was inside?
[13:16] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:23] ---
    Huh?
[13:35] ---
    U-Um...
[13:37] ---
    Wah! This way's the bathroom?!
[13:39] ---
    I-I'm sorry, Orsola!
[13:41] ---
    Gah!
[13:42] ---
    Th-There's a stifling breeze coming
    out of this stick with a roar--!
[13:55] ---
    Wait, a bathroom
    on the right and the left?!
[13:58] ---
    There are two bathrooms in this house?!
[14:00] ---
    Y-Yes. One for daily use,
[14:04] ---
    and the second one
    was put in for religious use.
[14:09] ---
    Now, because of the move,
[14:10] ---
    its function as a baptistery
    has been discontinued.
[14:13] ---
    This is outrageous! I call foul!
[14:16] ---
    Toma...
[14:18] ---
    Why are you here to begin with, Toma?
[14:21] ---
    And why, after seeing us naked,
    do I not hear you saying you're sorry?
[14:25] ---
    W-Well, you see, Miss Index,
    I needed some newspaper, so--
[14:31] ---
    Just my luck!
[14:34] ---
    Oh, my goodness.
[14:41] ---
    All right, if you would be so kind...
[14:50] ---
    Thank you for all
    you have done, both of you.
[14:54] ---
    I am so sorry to keep
    you occupied for so long.
[14:58] ---
    What are you going to do now, Orsola?
[15:00] ---
    Would you like to go around
    seeing the sights with us?
[15:03] ---
    Oh, no, not at all. Are you asking
    me to follow along after you,
[15:07] ---
    with the two of you heading to your hotel?
[15:10] ---
    I mean, three's a crowd...
[15:14] ---
    What? Three's a crowd?
[15:15] ---
    No need to ask, and no need
    to know what she means, Index!
[15:20] ---
    Besides, I would like to go around
    Chioggia and say my goodbyes.
[15:26] ---
    I have lived in the city
    for a long time, after all.
[15:31] ---
    That is something
    I don't exactly want you to see.
[15:35] ---
    I may develop a
    less-than-dignified look on my face.
[15:39] ---
    Okay.
[15:43] ---
    Well, I will be leaving.
    If you ever get the chance,
[15:47] ---
    I will invite you to my
    apartment in London, as well.
[15:50] ---
    Yeah, same here.
    If you ever get to Japan again...
[15:54] ---
    But before that happens,
    Toma may need to clean the place up.
[15:59] ---
    No, this can't be...
[16:01] ---
    Everyone, get down!
[16:03] ---
    AATR.
[16:10] ---
    Orsola!
[16:11] ---
    Huh?
[16:12] ---
    If Index was disturbed
    by this, it means...
[16:15] ---
    Magic!
[16:16] ---
    Huh?
[16:23] ---
    Where's it coming from?
    Who's doing it?
[16:30] ---
    Toma!
[16:39] ---
    ISICBI.
[17:06] ---
    What about the sniper?!
[17:07] ---
    It's all right. It's already dealt with.
[17:10] ---
    Dealt with? What did you do?
[17:12] ---
    If they are aiming at us from a distance,
[17:15] ---
    then the situation here is being
    carefully relayed to the enemy.
[17:19] ---
    Which means that no matter where they are,
[17:21] ---
    they have to be taking
    in my spell intercept.
[17:32] ---
    Is that the sniper?!
[17:44] ---
    W-What the...?
[18:32] ---
    Damn, this is crazy!
[18:34] ---
    How can something like
    this pop up out of the canal?
[18:38] ---
    Orsola, let's just get in the boat!
[18:40] ---
    R-Right.
[18:46] ---
    This is glass... no, is it ice?
[18:59] ---
    Toma! Are you okay?! Toma!
[19:03] ---
    Why is a huge ship like
    this going down the canal?
[19:29] ---
    It looks like we are headed away from land.
[19:32] ---
    Yeah. Just where are
    they planning on heading?
[19:44] ---
    What should we do?
    They appear to be searching for us.
[19:49] ---
    I know. But...
[19:52] ---
    ...we can't really jump off to get away.
[19:55] ---
    Let's just hide for now,
    and wait for our chance to escape.
[20:07] ---
    Toma...
[20:14] ---
    Damn, what is going on here?
[20:22] ---
    Let's go.
[20:30] ---
    Please excuse the intrusion.
[20:46] ---
    Why would they go so far as to
    use something as outrageous as this
[20:49] ---
    to come and attack me?
[20:51] ---
    The robes they were wearing
    looked a lot like your habit, Orsola.
[20:55] ---
    Yes, it is reasonable that
    you would take them to be members
[20:59] ---
    of the Roman Orthodox Church.
[21:01] ---
    Which means that this must
    concern the Book of the Law, all right.
[21:05] ---
    That whole incident
    should have been settled
[21:08] ---
    by my going over to
    the English Puritan Church.
[21:36] ---
    This ship is not the enemy's stronghold;
[21:39] ---
    one might say that it is
    just one part of the larger whole.
[21:42] ---
    I guess Chioggia is too small
    a place for all of them to deploy.
[21:47] ---
    Do you think Index is okay?
[21:50] ---
    I can still use my cell phone,
[21:52] ---
    but damn it, sure enough,
    she didn't charge hers.
[21:55] ---
    Then again, will the signal
    reach out at sea?
[21:58] ---
    I am not sure.
[22:02] ---
    Th-The door!
[22:05] ---
    This is bad! Hide someplace, Orsola!
[22:07] ---
    But where, exactly?
[22:10] ---
    Hell, right here!
[22:12] ---
    First thing to do is to close the door--
[22:22] ---
    Agnese...?
[22:47] ---
    At a certain world's center,
[22:50] ---
    I whispered that it
    was okay to be alone

[22:53] ---
    I bent back the hands on the clock
[22:55] ---
    and kept my eyes closed
[23:03] ---
    You can't turn back time that has passed
[23:09] ---
    but on that day, you showed me
[23:12] ---
    that that's how it should be
[23:17] ---
    The miracle of you being
    there as the seasons roll around

[23:22] ---
    makes even the
    broken clock start up again

[23:28] ---
    Right now, yeah, I may
    be a helpless piece of junk

[23:34] ---
    but it's funny how
    I feel like I can change that

[23:39] ---
    All because your voice is still here
[23:44] ---
    for me, even now
[23:55] ---
