**[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] ---**
**[22:00] ---**
**[23:34] ---**
"Next time"
**[23:37] ---**
"Third Number"
