[00:23] ---
    Huh?!
[00:26] ---
    What is it with this thing?
[00:28] ---
    Is that...
[00:30] ---
    You're a cutie. Whoo!
    And from Tokiwadai, at that.
[00:35] ---
    Wanna come with
    us and have a little fun?
[00:37] ---
    We'll take you home.
    No telling when that will be, though.
[00:45] ---
    These guys are idiots
    for talking to me. And sure,
[00:51] ---
    it's not like those guys
    are without pity. I can tell that.
[00:55] ---
    And really, it's not like they could
    cut in here and do something.
[00:59] ---
    They'd just get hurt.
[01:00] ---
    What are you looking at?
[01:01] ---
    Everyone has to look out
    for themselves. That's normal.
[01:04] ---
    And supposing there is someone
    who would do so for a stranger,
[01:08] ---
    then that person is just a fool.
[01:10] ---
    Oh, there you are!
[01:11] ---
    Hey, thanks for keeping her company.
[01:14] ---
    You know you shouldn't wander off like that.
[01:20] ---
    That's strange...
[01:23] ---
    I don't suppose there's
    any chance it's out of order.
[01:26] ---
    Seriously?
[03:00] ---
    Hey, come on, give me a break.
    Give me back my money!
[03:04] ---
    Hey, there!
[03:07] ---
    Don't just stand there like an idiot.
[03:09] ---
    If you're not buying anything,
    then stand aside!
[03:11] ---
    Eh? Huh? I am...
[03:12] ---
    I have to rehydrate as soon as possible,
[03:16] ---
    or I'm going to just fall apart.
[03:25] ---
    So, what's with you, pal?
[03:28] ---
    I do have...
[03:33] ---
    ...a name--Misaka Mikoto!
[03:35] ---
    Remember it already, you idiot!
[03:42] ---
    I see things are as messed up as ever.
[03:45] ---
    How is it that my shocks don't work on you?
[03:48] ---
    I don't know! And you shouldn't
    go using your ability without warning!
[03:52] ---
    Well, anyhow, if you're not going
    to buy anything, I'll go ahead.
[03:56] ---
    I've got some serious business
    with this vending machine.
[03:59] ---
    Uh, about this vending machine...
[04:02] ---
    It tends to eat your money.
    I, Kamijo Toma,
[04:05] ---
    had what little
    money that was on me--
[04:06] ---
    Did you get yoinked?
[04:08] ---
    Eh? Did you really get yoinked?
    How much did you get taken for?
[04:15] ---
    ¥2000.
[04:16] ---
    ¥2000?! You mean
    you used a ¥2000 bill?!
[04:21] ---
    Well of course a vending
    machine will munch that!
[04:29] ---
    I got a really good laugh out of that,
[04:31] ---
    so I'll get it back for you.
[04:34] ---
    Eh?
[04:34] ---
    I mean, this thing
    once took ¥10,000 of mine...
[04:39] ---
    Hmm?
[04:40] ---
    Nothing. I'm just saying,
    I'm going to get your money's worth
[04:44] ---
    for everything this
    thing took from you.
[04:46] ---
    Um, the only feeling I'm
    getting about this is a bad one...
[04:55] ---
    Thank you for waiting.
[04:57] ---
    Thanks.
[04:59] ---
    Is that right?
[05:01] ---
    Same old Miss Misaka as ever, huh?
[05:03] ---
    Yes.
[05:04] ---
    I had made up my mind to
    believe in Sissy, and wait for her, too.
[05:09] ---
    If Sissy were to
    see me looking like this,
[05:11] ---
    I would instead be
    the one worrying her.
[05:18] ---
    I am just hopeless, am I not?
[05:22] ---
    She went out every night
    without eating anything,
[05:26] ---
    not to mention being unable
    to provide any details
[05:28] ---
    to Shirai or either of us.
[05:30] ---
    I refrained from coming out and
    saying anything, but sure enough,
[05:36] ---
    a boy... is the only explanation.
[05:38] ---
    A b--b--b--
[05:41] ---
    I tell you, that is not it--
[05:42] ---
    Then, the reason Miss Misaka
    has been acting strangely is...
[05:45] ---
    Exactly. She's lovestruck.
[05:48] ---
    Th-That's it! Indeed, she could not
    turn to any of us for advice,
[05:53] ---
    and there is plenty of
    reason to keep it a secret!
[05:56] ---
    I know, right?
[05:57] ---
    But since we're talking
    about Miss Misaka here,
[06:01] ---
    I'm sure he must be a gentleman
    as handsome as a prince.
[06:05] ---
    Oh, no, I think Misaka is the
    type that is attracted to someone
[06:08] ---
    who sees her as the only girl for him.
[06:12] ---
    Ah!
[06:13] ---
    Then again, since she doesn't come
    home every night until morning...
[06:16] ---
    You don't think Miss Misaka is...!
[06:22] ---
    What's the matter, Uiharu?
[06:23] ---
    Th-There is no way...
    Not Sissy, of all people...
[06:28] ---
    An alarm?
[06:30] ---
    Whoa, you're quick to react.
[06:31] ---
    That...
[06:33] ---
    ...is a vending machine alarm, isn't it?
[06:36] ---
    Miss Shirai?
[06:37] ---
    The vending machine
    in that area? Could it be?
[06:41] ---
    Um, Miss Shirai?
[06:43] ---
    I will go check it out.
[06:45] ---
    Huh? Okay, I'll come, too.
[06:46] ---
    No, if anything happens, I will contact you.
[06:47] ---
    Huh? Wait...
[06:52] ---
    Hey, wait up!
[06:59] ---
    It's... hopeless...
[07:02] ---
    Geez...
[07:03] ---
    Why are you running away?
[07:05] ---
    I got out everything that
    machine owed you, you know.
[07:09] ---
    Well, I didn't really...
[07:13] ---
    These belong to you
    in the first place, right?
[07:15] ---
    If I accept this,
    I become an accomplice, don't I?
[07:18] ---
    Here.
[07:18] ---
    There's more where that came from.
[07:20] ---
    Whoa! Hold on! Hold on! Ow!
    Hey, there are hot ones mixed in!
[07:26] ---
    I couldn't help it, you know.
[07:28] ---
    I can't choose the kind of
    drink that comes out, after all.
[07:32] ---
    And as for you,
[07:34] ---
    as strong as you are,
    you run away too much.
[07:36] ---
    And since I lost to you,
    where does that leave me?
[07:40] ---
    Eh? What did you just say?
[07:43] ---
    Both in town and
    out on the riverbed,
[07:45] ---
    you've toyed around with
    me time and again, haven't you?!
[07:48] ---
    I-I've been getting into
    fights with a middle-school girl?
[07:51] ---
    Sheesh, as intense as it got,
[07:54] ---
    I'm not going to let you get
    away with saying you've forgotten!
[07:56] ---
    What have I been doing?
[07:59] ---
    Whatever, just drink something.
[08:01] ---
    If my underclassman got a present
    from me, she'd swoon and faint.
[08:05] ---
    What does that mean?
[08:07] ---
    This isn't some girl's manga,
[08:09] ---
    and things like that
    don't happen in girls' schools.
[08:11] ---
    Hmph, wishful thinking.
[08:13] ---
    You're only able to say that
[08:14] ---
    because you don't know
    what they call me at Tokiwadai.
[08:17] ---
    Sissy!
[08:19] ---
    I heard a vending machine alarm
    and came running, and here you are!
[08:22] ---
    Ugh, speak of the devil...
[08:28] ---
    What?
[08:31] ---
    What's the matter, Kuro--
[08:33] ---
    Hey, what's wrong with you?!
[08:35] ---
    It cannot be... No way... It is true...!
[08:38] ---
    A rendezvous with a gentleman caller!
[08:40] ---
    Now just a minute!
[08:44] ---
    Pleased to meet you, gentleman caller.
[08:46] ---
    Eh? What?!
[08:48] ---
    I ride shotgun for Sissy,
    and am her one-and-only partner,
[08:51] ---
    Shirai Kuroko.
[08:54] ---
    Since you appear to be
    an acquaintance of Sissy's,
[08:56] ---
    I will pay my respects,
    out of social etiquette.
[09:00] ---
    S-Sure.
[09:01] ---
    I do have to say,
[09:04] ---
    he is an undistinguished
    gentleman caller, huh?
[09:07] ---
    Is someone like him really with Sissy?
[09:11] ---
    Oh, dear, if this is all it takes
    for him to fall into a flutter,
[09:15] ---
    there is a risk of him
    having flirtatious tendencies.
[09:19] ---
    Now, look, you...
[09:22] ---
    Does this geekwad look
    like my boyfriend?!
[09:28] ---
    W-What?!
[09:30] ---
    No, of course not.
    I thought it sounded strange.
[09:34] ---
    Come on! Get back down here!
[09:37] ---
    Then again,
[09:39] ---
    as much as I would like you to
    wash your hands of this troglodyte
[09:42] ---
    and allow me to escort you, Sissy,
[09:46] ---
    as long as you have absolutely
    no immunity to your gentleman caller,
[09:49] ---
    I fear that later on, you may
    be drawn to rather unsavory men.
[09:52] ---
    On that point, I doubt I have anything to fear
[09:55] ---
    from this completely harmless monkey.
[09:57] ---
    On top of which, if you become
    disillusioned with men in general,
[10:01] ---
    seeing as how geeky he is,
    I will be there to console you, Sissy...
[10:07] ---
    Besides...
[10:07] ---
    Hey, are you listening to me, Kuroko?!
[10:11] ---
    You do seem to be happy again.
[10:14] ---
    Hey, are you listening?!
[10:16] ---
    There is nothing more I can do,
    so I will take my leave,
[10:20] ---
    but please take care not to
    make any missteps, okay, Sissy?
[10:23] ---
    Hey, what are you talking about?!
[10:24] ---
    And, with that...
[10:26] ---
    She disappeared!
[10:28] ---
    Make an outburst like that
    and then run away on me, will she?
[10:32] ---
    So there really are people
    who use the term "Sissy" in real life.
[10:36] ---
    Leave it to Tokiwadai Middle School.
[10:38] ---
    Her case is kind of a special one.
[10:41] ---
    Oh, it is?
[10:47] ---
    Oh, man! Seriously,
    what did I even come here for?
[10:50] ---
    Sissy?
[10:52] ---
    Eh? She's back--huh?!
    There's another Zapper?!
[10:58] ---
    "If our appearances look the same,
[11:01] ---
    it is only natural, since we
    are identical on a genetic level,"
[11:04] ---
    says Misaka in reply.
[11:07] ---
    Huh? Genetic?
    A-Ah, you're twins, huh?
[11:13] ---
    Moments ago, I identified
    a power identical to Misaka's,
[11:16] ---
    so I came by to see,
[11:18] ---
    but here at the site,
    there was a broken vending machine,
[11:21] ---
    and seeing you here with
    that large number of drinks...
[11:24] ---
    Sissy, don't tell me that you
    were an accomplice in stealing from it.
[11:27] ---
    Hey, your sister is the main culprit!
    I'm an innocent bystander!
[11:31] ---
    As a result of Misaka gauging
    the vending machine with her ability,
[11:35] ---
    the most recent fingerprints did belong to you.
[11:39] ---
    You're kidding!
    You can even tell that much?!
[11:41] ---
    I'm kidding.
[11:41] ---
    You're kidding?!
[11:43] ---
    Just what are they
    teaching this sister of yours?!
[11:50] ---
    Why...?
[11:53] ---
    Why are you...?!
[11:59] ---
    Why are you wandering around here?
[12:04] ---
    I am training.
[12:07] ---
    Train--
[12:11] ---
    Training? Did you join Judgment,
    or something?
[12:15] ---
    Judgment?
[12:17] ---
    Oh, yeah, that's what this is.
[12:19] ---
    Come here for a second.
[12:20] ---
    But Misaka has a schedule to...
[12:23] ---
    It's okay!
[12:25] ---
    Come with me.
[12:30] ---
    Maybe they're just...
    a complex family.
[12:35] ---
    Sissy, how far are we going to go?
[12:39] ---
    Misaka's schedule is already
    off by thirty-eight seconds...
[12:46] ---
    The experiment...
[12:48] ---
    The project was shut down,
    wasn't it? So why...?
[12:52] ---
    "By 'project,'
[12:54] ---
    if you are referring
    to Project Level 6 Shift,
[12:57] ---
    then it is proceeding on schedule,"
[12:59] ---
    replies Misaka.
[13:01] ---
    No way! Even... now?
[13:05] ---
    Yes. Experiment 10020 was just held.
[13:12] ---
    Ten... thousand...?
[13:15] ---
    What is she saying?
    No... How...?
[13:20] ---
    I thought they pulled everything out...
[13:24] ---
    How are they...?
[13:25] ---
    What is happening?
    I don't understand.
[13:29] ---
    I don't understand,
    but they're being killed again.
[13:34] ---
    No, that's not true!
[13:37] ---
    I'm the one... who killed them.
[13:41] ---
    She...
[13:43] ---
    ...will soon also...
[13:47] ---
    Sissy?
[13:54] ---
    Are you all--
[14:00] ---
    Wow! How cute!
[14:02] ---
    "Misaka found her," says Misaka,
    trumpeting her achievement.
[14:07] ---
    What do I do? What more...
[14:11] ---
    ...can I do?
[14:13] ---
    Sissy...
[14:15] ---
    Sissy, there's a kiddy-kitty.
[14:16] ---
    Sissy...
[14:22] ---
    Stop it!
[14:27] ---
    Stop it...
[14:29] ---
    Stop appearing before me...
    sounding like that...
[14:33] ---
    ...and looking like that!
[14:40] ---
    Okay.
[14:41] ---
    Please excuse me.
[15:05] ---
    This is the pits.
[15:08] ---
    Th--
[15:09] ---
    These are heavy. Still and all,
[15:12] ---
    what was that with them back there?
[15:17] ---
    Yowch...!
[15:20] ---
    Man, just my luck.
[15:22] ---
    "I can lend you a hand, if you need it,"
[15:24] ---
    is what Misaka suggests with a sigh.
[15:28] ---
    You...
[15:29] ---
    Oh, you're her younger sister.
[15:33] ---
    Huh? But didn't your sister
    take you away somewhere earlier?
[15:37] ---
    "Misaka just came from there,"
    she says, pointing.
[15:42] ---
    "Where should we
    carry these drinks to,"
[15:45] ---
    asks Misaka.
[15:48] ---
    Oh, uh, that's okay.
    I can carry them by myself.
[15:55] ---
    #11 "Where should we carry these drinks to,"
[15:56] ---
    Misaka prods.
[16:06] ---
    Hello.
[16:07] ---
    What's wrong? You look
    awfully flushed, Doctor Amai.
[16:15] ---
    Don't "Hello" me!
[16:16] ---
    What is the meaning of
    handing off to this many facilities?!
[16:18] ---
    We're taking the lead on Level 6 Shift!
[16:22] ---
    If you scatter it around like this,
    the patent will never be...
[16:25] ---
    Now, now, take it easy.
[16:26] ---
    There will still be plenty of profit,
[16:28] ---
    even after dividing it up this much.
[16:30] ---
    How can you know that?!
[16:33] ---
    Oh, I know.
[16:34] ---
    Right now, what's most important
    is completing the experiments.
[16:41] ---
    There are 183 transferee
    facilities in total.
[16:45] ---
    If that breaks our mysterious
    attacker's spirit, then good.
[16:50] ---
    And even if the attacks keep going,
[16:52] ---
    the more these facilities are destroyed,
[16:55] ---
    the greater our share of
    the profit becomes, doesn't it?
[17:00] ---
    183...
[17:05] ---
    How did it get to be so
    many in this short a time?
[17:10] ---
    This is a level far greater
    than any single firm could manage.
[17:16] ---
    I'm... an idiot.
[17:19] ---
    I wonder why I didn't realize it.
[17:22] ---
    Academy City is constantly
    under satellite and camera surveillance.
[17:27] ---
    There is no way that Academy City's
    senior management is unaware
[17:32] ---
    that these inhuman experiments
    are repeatedly being done out of doors.
[17:37] ---
    In other words,
[17:38] ---
    Academy City as a whole...
[17:41] ---
    ...is my foe?
[17:59] ---
    Ugh, that's nasty, all right.
[18:06] ---
    Do you have a moment?
[18:09] ---
    Huh?
[18:12] ---
    Which laboratory's errand boy are you?
[18:14] ---
    What makes you think that?
[18:16] ---
    Anyone who comes
    near me is always some guy,
[18:18] ---
    trying to milk me
    for some kind of analysis,
[18:21] ---
    or some idiot, out to claim the
    throne of Academy City's top dog.
[18:27] ---
    Mm-hmm, I see.
[18:30] ---
    And, in the sense that
    both of them are full of crap,
[18:33] ---
    there's not all that much difference.
[18:36] ---
    Level 6 Shift?
[18:39] ---
    Yeah. An experiment with
    Tree Diagram's endorsement.
[18:42] ---
    Ha! Not interested.
[18:44] ---
    I'm the first-ranked in Academy City,
[18:47] ---
    meaning that I'm already
    at the top of the world.
[18:50] ---
    Come who may, and do
    what they will, nobody can beat me.
[18:55] ---
    Even if I do become stronger
    than I am now, what's that to me?
[18:59] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
    You are indeed the mightiest esper.
[19:04] ---
    However, if you top out at "mightiest,"
[19:06] ---
    then the circumstances that surround you
[19:08] ---
    will always remain the same.
[19:13] ---
    But then,
[19:15] ---
    if you had an absolute power,
    past that of "mightiest,"
[19:19] ---
    it just might bring about
    some changes in your life.
[19:31] ---
    Past "mightiest," he says?
[19:41] ---
    Thank you for coming.
[19:55] ---
    Mass-production of clones,
    in violation of international law, eh?
[19:58] ---
    You guys have got screws loose
    in your heads in just the right way.
[20:02] ---
    Originally,
[20:04] ---
    they were planned for use in another project,
[20:07] ---
    but things happen, and they
    ended up being diverted to us.
[20:12] ---
    Looking at this,
[20:14] ---
    would you still like to achieve Level 6?
[20:22] ---
    Another 9970 to go, huh?
[20:27] ---
    What a drag.
[20:30] ---
    Sissy!
[20:31] ---
    The bathroom is available.
[20:34] ---
    Mm-hmm, thanks.
[20:37] ---
    Sissy was in such
    good spirits this afternoon...
[20:43] ---
    D-D-Do not tell me something
    happened with that troglodyte!
[20:47] ---
    He shall pay for this!
[20:53] ---
    What do I do?
[20:55] ---
    Do I have any other moves left?
[20:58] ---
    Find the mastermind and
    put the screws to him? No,
[21:02] ---
    if Academy City is directing
    these experiments, that won't work.
[21:06] ---
    The ones who imposed this
    crazy project in the first place...
[21:12] ---
    It's hopeless.
[21:14] ---
    The reason they're keeping my
    attacks under wraps is because
[21:17] ---
    they want to avoid their
    cloning experiments going public.
[21:22] ---
    But that... If I were to destroy that...
[21:27] ---
    Academy City would
    have nowhere left to retreat.
[21:31] ---
    If that happens, I can
    never go back to my previous life.
[21:43] ---
    They've already killed 10,000 of me,
[21:47] ---
    and I'm still talking about
    something so self-serving?
[21:50] ---
    Say, Kuroko...
[21:52] ---
    Y-Yes? What is it, Sissy?
[21:55] ---
    Supposing--just supposing, now--
[21:58] ---
    I did something that brought
    calamity upon Academy City,
[22:02] ---
    what would you do?
[22:06] ---
    If you mean making off with drinks
    from a busted vending machine,
[22:10] ---
    I suggest not doing it again.
[22:12] ---
    That thing took my ¥10,000 bill
    when I was a freshman,
[22:15] ---
    so it's fair game!
[22:17] ---
    Something...
[22:20] ---
    Something involving the foundation
    that Academy City is built on.
[22:26] ---
    I cannot say that I know why you
    would ask a question such as that,
[22:31] ---
    but if it is something that would
    disrupt the safety of this city,
[22:34] ---
    then it would not alter what
    I would do, even against you, Sissy.
[22:42] ---
    Hmm, then no matter
    how much you call me "Sissy,"
[22:46] ---
    that's the extent of our relationship, huh?
[22:48] ---
    N-No, it is not!
[22:50] ---
    Because I know that there
    is not even a remote chance
[22:52] ---
    that you would do any such thing, Sissy!
[22:55] ---
    Gotcha!
[22:57] ---
    I'm joking.
[22:59] ---
    Sissy...!
[23:03] ---
    Thank goodness.
[23:11] ---
    Heh... Oh, Sissy...
[23:19] ---
    If I get caught by Kuroko in
    exchange for stopping the project,
[23:24] ---
    that wouldn't be so bad.
[23:47] ---
    "Next Episode Preview"
[23:48] ---
    I knew it was a boy!
    It's definitely a boy!
[23:48] ---
    #12 "Tree Diagram"
[23:49] ---
    It is not! It absolutely cannot be!
[23:51] ---
    A boy, I say, a boy! Boy! Boy! Boy! It's a boy!
[23:51] ---
    I will not have it! It is not! It is not!
