[00:46] ---
    That's the place.
[00:59] ---
    I never expected...
[01:01] ---
    ...to come back here again.
[01:07] ---
    There's that old familiar smell.
[01:10] ---
    Hey, the door isn't over there--
[01:24] ---
    Huh?
[01:27] ---
    Already disposed of.
[01:29] ---
    Not even being able to
    read minds would help with him.
[01:50] ---
    Qiongqi...
[02:09] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Accelerator"
[03:22] ---
    "#03 Numbers (Charms of the Four Perils)"
[03:26] ---
    I never figured on you
    being the one to come to me...
[03:30] ---
    Huh?
[03:32] ---
    ...Esther.
[03:34] ---
    Hishigata...
[03:38] ---
    ...Mikihiko.
[03:42] ---
    But your timing is perfect.
    Qiongqi has been completed.
[03:46] ---
    I wanted you to see it
    more than anyone. Mm-hmm.
[03:49] ---
    Do you think you can just get away
    with making something like this?!
[03:53] ---
    It's a little late to be asking that, Esther.
[03:56] ---
    You're the one who taught me
    everything there is to know
[03:58] ---
    about animating dead bodies, aren't you?
[04:01] ---
    You don't mean... Taotie
    and Hundun are already...?
[04:05] ---
    Yeah.
[04:06] ---
    I've incorporated the evil spirits of
    the Numbers that your family created.
[04:11] ---
    I have nothing but gratitude for you. Mm-hmm.
[04:14] ---
    It took a lot of dead bodies for us
    to make this many souls, huh?
[04:19] ---
    You have to stop!
[04:20] ---
    Have you gotten spooked?
[04:22] ---
    You were manipulating the dead
    at your whim, too, remember?
[04:25] ---
    You're wrong! I was--
[04:27] ---
    I'm not wrong.
    From the view of the dead body,
[04:30] ---
    they still end up being used
    to serve the pleasure of the living.
[04:34] ---
    You're no different, Esther.
[04:37] ---
    Stop...
[04:42] ---
    You have to stop.
[04:45] ---
    Hey! What the hell are
    you rambling on about?
[04:51] ---
    Ah, so you're Accelerator,
    are you? Mm-hmm...
[04:55] ---
    You're Last Order's guardian?
[05:02] ---
    Someday, I'd like to have you as a subject.
[05:05] ---
    Huh?
[05:07] ---
    Is using corpses to play dress-up dolls
    becoming a thing these days?
[05:11] ---
    Not even I would go that far.
[05:14] ---
    Don't be so cold. In a sense,
    I'm complimenting your killing.
[05:26] ---
    Ooh, momentum, heat,
    and wow, even electricity?
[05:31] ---
    Vector control can do
    just about anything, huh?
[05:34] ---
    I guess when you use your ability,
[05:36] ---
    the amount of information
    around you increases.
[05:39] ---
    I wonder if the key to your
    ability lies in there somewhere.
[05:43] ---
    But either way, you're just a bystander here.
[05:45] ---
    Besides, there's nothing for me
    to gain by fighting you just now.
[05:49] ---
    So...
[05:58] ---
    I think I'll make a tactical retreat.
[06:02] ---
    There's no way I'm letting
    you get out of here!
[06:10] ---
    Tch.
[06:12] ---
    I have all sorts of data on you.
[06:15] ---
    Huh?
[06:16] ---
    The object of your vector control
    is whatever you touch.
[06:19] ---
    In the event you aren't in contact,
    which is to say, at a distance,
[06:23] ---
    your attacks are no different
    than any other physical phenomenon.
[06:33] ---
    The versatility of this psychokinesis,
    boosted to Level 5 class as it is,
[06:37] ---
    is really something, isn't it?
[06:40] ---
    Huh?
[06:41] ---
    Did you say Level 5?
[06:43] ---
    Mm-hmm. Well,
[06:45] ---
    I'll see you later.
[06:59] ---
    Tch.
[07:04] ---
    Hishigata is right.
[07:08] ---
    I've been doing the
    same things that he's done.
[07:12] ---
    I've controlled the dead to do my bidding.
[07:15] ---
    I used them.
[07:17] ---
    So what?
[07:19] ---
    Huh?
[07:25] ---
    I thought you were trying to stop him.
[07:42] ---
    "I went and bought three lunches,
    just like you asked,"
[07:47] ---
    proudly reports Misaka Misaka,
[07:49] ---
    without saying anything about
    the snack for herself she also bought.
[07:53] ---
    Hey!
[07:56] ---
    That girl you're sitting
    across the bed from--
[08:00] ---
    who might she be?
[08:03] ---
    Who might you be?
[08:07] ---
    --That's--
    --I wasn't asking you!
[08:10] ---
    Well?
[08:12] ---
    Who might you be?
[08:18] ---
    --I'm Esther Rosenthal. I do necromancy--
[08:20] ---
    --Hey!
    --I'm Esther Rosenthal. I do necromancy--
[08:26] ---
    I-I'm, um, something like
    a classmate of Accelerator's.
[08:30] ---
    I'm here to ask him for some help.
[08:32] ---
    "Nice to meet you,"
[08:34] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    glancing over at your expression,
[08:39] ---
    wondering what that
    eye contact was all about.
[08:44] ---
    There's something you're
    hiding from me, all right.
[08:50] ---
    You two-timer!
[09:00] ---
    Hey...
[09:05] ---
    Damn it. We're hungry. What the hell?
[09:10] ---
    "Hmph. W-We could all
    go to a restaurant, right?"
[09:14] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, giving you the
    chance to apologize for your infidelity.
[09:21] ---
    Tch, I'm getting tired of
    the family restaurant, damn it.
[09:26] ---
    Y-You're not mad?
[09:28] ---
    I make it a policy to avoid the pointless.
[09:32] ---
    Hooray!
[09:33] ---
    "Hey, can I order what I want today?"
    asks Misaka Misaka...
[09:36] ---
    This is a human guinea pig who has
    experienced death over 10,000 times?
[09:41] ---
    She's unbelievable.
[09:44] ---
    Let's go.
[10:00] ---
    What is this? I don't recognize
    a single dish on here!
[10:05] ---
    Oh, you don't say.
[10:07] ---
    What kind of food is this "bee f'curry"?
[10:11] ---
    It's curry.
[10:12] ---
    Curry!
[10:13] ---
    What kind of meat does it contain?
    Is it sheep? Is it goat?
[10:18] ---
    It's beef.
[10:19] ---
    Yes, cow meat.
[10:22] ---
    And these cheese-stuffed--
[10:23] ---
    Hamburger.
[10:24] ---
    Also cow meat!
[10:26] ---
    You know everything, don't you?
[10:28] ---
    Sure do! Ask me anything!
[10:30] ---
    All right.
[10:32] ---
    What kind of food is this?
[10:35] ---
    Crunchy food, bursting with yummy flavor!
[10:38] ---
    Pork deep-fried in oil.
[10:41] ---
    And this?
[10:42] ---
    Ah! It's a creamy,
    piping-hot, delicious food!
[10:46] ---
    Flavored rice with a
    fried chicken egg stuck on top of it.
[10:51] ---
    And this?
[10:52] ---
    A lumpy, tasty, delicious food!
[10:56] ---
    Salmon eggs pickled in soy sauce
    and served over rice.
[11:01] ---
    And this?
[11:02] ---
    A hot, melt-in-your-mouth yummy food!
[11:06] ---
    A stewed tuna head.
[11:10] ---
    "All of the food here is very delicious!"
[11:13] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, letting you know.
[11:17] ---
    Everything is delicious,
    and everyone is happy, huh?
[11:20] ---
    Here is your order.
[11:29] ---
    This is very, very, surprisingly good--
[11:33] ---
    This is very good, too.
[11:37] ---
    Good, isn't it?
[11:43] ---
    Good food tastes better when eaten together.
    This is what families do.
[11:48] ---
    It is a tremendous feast.
[11:52] ---
    I've never had anything
    as wonderful as this around me.
[11:58] ---
    The science of Academy City
    is quite marvelous!
[12:02] ---
    This has nothing to do with science.
[12:05] ---
    All right, my turn.
[12:07] ---
    Is that for me?
[12:09] ---
    This is what families do.
[12:13] ---
    Mm, it's good!
[12:19] ---
    Where are you going?
[12:20] ---
    Gotta make a call.
[12:23] ---
    Those phony Antiskill guys
    called themselves "DA."
[12:28] ---
    Whatever the case, they're up to no good.
[12:32] ---
    I need someone who's familiar
    with folks up to no good.
[12:36] ---
    Someone who might know
    something about DA would be...
[12:46] ---
    What's up?
[12:47] ---
    Quick question for you.
    Yoshikawa, do you know who DA is?
[12:52] ---
    DA?
[12:53] ---
    A dark side organization
    who seems to have ties to Antiskill.
[12:58] ---
    From what I saw of their weapons,
    they're pretty well off, too.
[13:02] ---
    Villains who love to play with dolls,
    and have a real passion for justice.
[13:08] ---
    I don't know them.
[13:10] ---
    But, I can check into them.
[13:13] ---
    Thanks.
[13:15] ---
    You're being awfully amenable.
    Does this have to do with that girl?
[13:29] ---
    You only ever get like this
    when you're with her.
[13:36] ---
    Cram it. I'm hanging up.
[13:44] ---
    "We ate it all! Your friend goofed up at
    the fountain and drenched us, so we went
    back to my room! Take care of the bill!!"
[13:49] ---
    Tch.
[14:12] ---
    Huh?
[14:18] ---
    "Jeez! It's good manners to knock,
    even for your own room!"
[14:22] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, drilling into you
    the obvious, which you can't seem to do!
[14:26] ---
    Taking that kind of care is very important!
[14:29] ---
    Oh, is that right?
[14:30] ---
    Wh-What's going on?
    Why are you starting a fight?
[14:34] ---
    "Why are you still not dressed?!"
[14:36] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, agitated by
    this woman's overly-bold appearance.
[14:41] ---
    What do you mean?
[14:43] ---
    Oh, my clothes? They're in drying right now.
    Besides, it doesn't bother me.
[14:50] ---
    "You have to let it bother you!"
[14:52] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, unsure of what
    the sense the person in front of her has,
[14:56] ---
    and shuddering!
[14:58] ---
    Why?
[14:59] ---
    "They're called feminine sensibilities!"
[15:02] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, showing off the
    knowledge she acquired reading books.
[15:07] ---
    Is that right? Okay. I'll be more
    careful from now on.
[15:13] ---
    It's pretty loud in here, huh?
[15:15] ---
    Okay, Last Order, it's just
    about time for your checkup.
[15:19] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[15:23] ---
    "Okay, I'll see you later," says Misaka Misaka
    with a somewhat lonely face,
[15:28] ---
    trying to get your attention.
[15:30] ---
    You can't have it.
[15:31] ---
    And have him fix what's wrong
    with your head while he's at it.
[15:35] ---
    There's no need! Nyah!
[15:39] ---
    --"Oh, the usual room, right?"
    --Mm-hmm.
[15:41] ---
    ...says Misaka Misaka, running off
    like the wind, leaving only her words!
[15:49] ---
    Incidentally, about that girl, Hitokawa Hasami,
    that Antiskill wanted me to take a look at...
[15:57] ---
    There was nothing I could do for her.
[16:01] ---
    Not three days after her death.
    It was out of my hands.
[16:05] ---
    Not interested.
[16:07] ---
    However,
[16:08] ---
    I did find this inside her mouth.
[16:15] ---
    Well, I have a checkup to perform, so...
[16:20] ---
    What is this?
[16:21] ---
    A low-level spiritual charm.
[16:23] ---
    Huh?
[16:24] ---
    Do you have a few moments?
[16:28] ---
    "Morgue"
[16:33] ---
    My family created a kind of necromancy
    whereby we can transplant a false soul
[16:38] ---
    into a dead body, and freely control it.
[16:41] ---
    But what we have here isn't a dead body;
[16:45] ---
    it's a person.
[16:47] ---
    I taught him how to do necromancy
    without understanding that.
[16:53] ---
    I was warned against carelessly
    teaching others how to do it.
[16:58] ---
    But because of me, she was used
    to do something abominable.
[17:06] ---
    Let's have a little look, here.
[17:13] ---
    Sure enough, the conduit is still open.
[17:16] ---
    As it stands, she'd call down
    her drifting residual information.
[17:20] ---
    Even if Hitokawa Hasami were buried
    in a grave, she'd crawl back out of it.
[17:24] ---
    And not just that--if her
    vessel is left neglected,
[17:28] ---
    she'll be unable to pass
    through Heaven's gates.
[17:31] ---
    I'm going to restart Hitokawa Hasami.
[17:35] ---
    I'll also reaffix a Huotou,
    a false soul that I created,
[17:40] ---
    and then close her spiritual conduit.
[17:42] ---
    Is this her ability?
[17:44] ---
    She must be using history and
    legend to reinforce her own paradigm,
[17:47] ---
    and then extending out her Personal Reality.
[17:52] ---
    You'll be all right now.
[17:59] ---
    What...
[18:00] ---
    ...is that?
[18:01] ---
    Stop!
[18:06] ---
    Hasami?
[18:09] ---
    Hasami!
[18:12] ---
    Why do you do these kinds of things?
[18:14] ---
    I'm sorry, Mom.
[18:17] ---
    Hasami!
[18:18] ---
    I'm sorry!
[18:29] ---
    Hasami, what's wrong?
[18:30] ---
    I'm sorry.
[18:32] ---
    Hasami, I got a call from
    your school. What happened?
[18:36] ---
    I'm sorry.
[18:37] ---
    What's going on?!
[18:38] ---
    I'm sorry!
[18:40] ---
    What's the matter?
    Has something happened, Hasami?
[18:43] ---
    I'm sorry.
[18:45] ---
    What's the matter, Hasami?
    Answer me! Hasami!
[18:49] ---
    I'm sorry.
[18:55] ---
    I'm... sorry...
[19:03] ---
    H-Huh? I'm still alive...
[19:08] ---
    She appears to have
    regained consciousness.
[19:10] ---
    That explains it.
    She's a Level 2 pyrokinesist.
[19:13] ---
    Not a half-bad subject.
    Her ability is suited for combat.
[19:16] ---
    Best of all, she's an "evil" criminal
    who's guilty of suicide.
[19:20] ---
    Huh?
[19:22] ---
    Good. Let's go ahead and dispose of her.
[19:24] ---
    Rest easy. We will use your body
    to serve the cause of justice.
[19:31] ---
    Stop!
[19:38] ---
    Are you all right?
[19:40] ---
    No problem.
[19:41] ---
    You startled me, touching her residual
    thoughts without any warning like that.
[19:45] ---
    Uncontrolled residual thoughts
    can be dangerous information,
[19:48] ---
    and people sometimes refer
    to them as site-bound spirits.
[19:52] ---
    We necromancers use these
    residual thoughts as a key code,
[19:57] ---
    to let us slip a pseudo-soul into the body.
[20:01] ---
    Looks like I was successful.
[20:03] ---
    Now, once my Huotou is affixed to her,
    I can close up her conduit.
[20:09] ---
    Give it just a moment.
[20:11] ---
    What was that tremendous amount of data?
    A mind-reading ability?
[20:17] ---
    One that specializes in the dead, at that.
    Still, it was weird, considering.
[20:21] ---
    Moreover, that last vision I saw...
[20:25] ---
    Those guys will go so far
    as to kill to get bodies?
[20:31] ---
    What are you two doing here?
[20:33] ---
    This is no place for children to be playing.
[20:35] ---
    Get on out of here, now.
[20:37] ---
    Why, these...
[20:42] ---
    Come on, out you go, now.
[20:46] ---
    Move it!
[20:48] ---
    Things have taken a bad turn.
[20:49] ---
    What?
[20:50] ---
    My Huotou has already
    become affixed to Hitokawa Hasami.
[20:54] ---
    She might start to move
    in front of those men.
[20:58] ---
    That will be the least of
    their worries in a second.
[21:03] ---
    Huh? Damn it, where is it?
[21:05] ---
    What's wrong?
[21:06] ---
    The solution...
[21:08] ---
    Hey, without that,
    we can't dispose of the corpse.
[21:11] ---
    Hey...
[21:12] ---
    Are you still here? Get going--
[21:13] ---
    By "solution," do you mean this?
[21:17] ---
    How did you get your hands on that?!
[21:19] ---
    Heh, what were you planning to do with this?
[21:24] ---
    Whatever. Once it's gone, it won't matter!
[21:32] ---
    Way to dodge that.
    But then, this is more like it.
[21:38] ---
    Damn it, he's making a mockery of us.
[21:40] ---
    Then again, disciplining naughty
    children is a part of our job.
[21:51] ---
    Now then...
[21:54] ---
    It's time...
[21:56] ---
    ...to bring about some justice!
[21:58] ---
