[00:18] ---
An after-hours pass request?
[00:22] ---
"After-hours Pass Request"
[00:22] ---
Y-Yes!
[00:24] ---
After offering me such
an utterly flimsy excuse
[00:26] ---
for being out for all those
nights without permission,
[00:28] ---
you ask for this?
You've got your nerve, Misaka.
[00:34] ---
Indeed, all of the necessary
report paperwork seems to be here.
[00:39] ---
Incidentally,
[00:40] ---
I got a request with the exact
same content within it from Shirai.
[00:44] ---
It was dated tomorrow, and the
reason for absence was the same--
[00:47] ---
"A study group with some friends."
[00:49] ---
Oh, yes. I'm going with Kuroko--
[00:51] ---
What are you scheming?
[00:52] ---
N-Nothing! Just studying!
A study group!
[00:57] ---
If you were studying,
you could do it in the dorm.
[00:59] ---
There's no reason for
you to head outside, right?
[01:01] ---
It's for a change of pace, you might say.
[01:04] ---
Studying with friends from another school.
[01:06] ---
All of us seem to be jammed
with summer vacation homework. Um...
[01:11] ---
Very well, request granted.
[01:12] ---
Huh?
[01:15] ---
"Approved"
[01:15] ---
Be good to your friends.
However...
[01:18] ---
...if you're even one minute
over your return time,
[01:22] ---
you know what's going to happen...
[01:25] ---
...don't you?
[01:26] ---
Y-Yes!
[01:29] ---
A shining hope runs its way
through the city, letting friends
[01:36] ---
who always believe in each other
join hands and follow their hearts
[01:43] ---
in an ongoing search for
a future they have faith in
[01:51] ---
Standing still amid
the hustle and bustle,
[01:54] ---
I watched as you faded into the distance
[01:57] ---
Because I now realize
[02:00] ---
the importance of sharing
[02:04] ---
Both the day and all of
us are wreathed in smiles
[02:10] ---
and I want to preserve
how normal that feels for us
[02:19] ---
When the sky resounds
with dreams kicking off
[02:26] ---
unshakable power starts seizing on reality
[02:32] ---
It's because you had the
strength to reveal your weakness
[02:39] ---
that I never forget, every single day,
to cherish the bonds between us
[02:45] ---
and head held high,
blaze a future to be proud of
[03:07] ---
Hello-o! Uiharu? What's up?
[03:10] ---
It sounds like both Miss Misaka
and Miss Shirai got their passes.
[03:14] ---
Really? Terrific!
[03:17] ---
They said that getting their
paperwork together was a hassle,
[03:20] ---
but it turned out okay.
[03:21] ---
Which means that the study group
can go on today as scheduled,
[03:25] ---
and for the first time in too long,
we'll all be together, huh?
[03:27] ---
Mm-hmm. Heh heh,
when we see Misaka this time,
[03:31] ---
we'll have to find out for sure
who it is she gave the cookies to.
[03:35] ---
Now, Miss Saten,
[03:37] ---
we're not entirely sure that
it was a boy she gave them to.
[03:39] ---
There's no doubt about it!
[03:41] ---
I've never seen the maidenly
Misaka ever look like that before.
[03:45] ---
All right, all done.
[03:47] ---
Okay, put them in the oven.
[03:51] ---
We just have to
wait for them to bake now.
[03:54] ---
Sorry to put you out, Miss Saten,
asking to let me use your kitchen.
[03:59] ---
Oh, no, I don't mind at all,
[04:02] ---
but if you're baking cookies,
Misaka, I'm sure your dorm
[04:05] ---
is better equipped
than using my lame oven.
[04:08] ---
Oh, mm-mm...
[04:09] ---
No, at my dorm's kitchen, there are
too many peering eyes, so I can't.
[04:15] ---
Mainly Kuroko,
and Kuroko, and Kuroko...
[04:17] ---
Ho-ho...
[04:19] ---
So this is a present to someone
[04:21] ---
you don't want
people asking about, isn't it?
[04:24] ---
N-No! I'm just in their debt,
[04:27] ---
and I don't like to
remain in anyone's debt.
[04:29] ---
I think store-bought is good enough,
[04:32] ---
but the idiot said something about
how cookies should be homemade.
[04:35] ---
Oh, but I'm not doing
this because I was asked to!
[04:39] ---
Rather, it's more to shut up their
whining, since I've gone this far.
[04:44] ---
Still, good for you.
[04:46] ---
Huh?
[04:46] ---
Uiharu and I have been
concerned about you, Misaka,
[04:50] ---
to say nothing of Shirai.
[04:54] ---
I may not be someone
you can turn to for help,
[04:56] ---
but I would be delighted
if you need someone to talk to.
[05:01] ---
Sorry, it's just...
[05:03] ---
I'm the one who caused this problem,
[05:06] ---
so I couldn't bear to
drag anyone else into it.
[05:09] ---
Thinking about it now, I guess
I was pretty well at my wit's end.
[05:13] ---
From now on, I'll be
more careful. I apologize!
[05:15] ---
Okay.
[05:16] ---
So, is the reason
you're feeling better now
[05:20] ---
due to this boyfriend I hear about?
[05:22] ---
Boyf--?! N-No,
I'm telling you, that's not...!
[05:27] ---
The flour! Whoa, and the
eggs, too! Oh, what do we do?
[05:29] ---
How adorable.
She messed up the room, though.
[05:34] ---
It's poor form to try to
force it out of her, Miss Saten.
[05:38] ---
Yeah, yeah, I know.
[05:41] ---
Once Miss Shirai and
I finish our Judgment work,
[05:44] ---
we'll go shopping and
head over, and Miss Haru'ue...
[05:48] ---
says she has something to
take care of, and will be a little late.
[05:51] ---
All right.
[05:52] ---
I'll get things ready while I wait.
[05:54] ---
Okay then, see you later.
[05:59] ---
Miss Shirai, good morning!
[06:02] ---
Good morning to you.
[06:04] ---
Back to having lots
of free time, Misaka?
[06:07] ---
Now, listen! Would you mind
not sounding like I'm never busy?
[06:11] ---
I'm just taking it easy now
[06:12] ---
because I've got
nothing until this afternoon.
[06:14] ---
You've been skipping meals in
the dorm a lot lately, huh?
[06:17] ---
What have you been doing?
[06:19] ---
Hmm, I've been busy
with this and that.
[06:24] ---
Shirai often ate here all by herself.
[06:28] ---
Mm-hmm,
[06:30] ---
I know.
[06:55] ---
It sure is peaceful, huh?
[06:58] ---
That Money Card affair has died down,
[07:02] ---
and the back alleyways of Academy City
[07:04] ---
appear to be back to their usual calm again.
[07:08] ---
Say, where did you buy that?
[07:10] ---
Wanna go with me right now?
[07:12] ---
Really? I appreciate it.
[07:13] ---
Found one!
[07:15] ---
Huh? Again?
[07:16] ---
See? Isn't this place amazing?
[07:18] ---
Nice. All I've found are three-leafers.
[07:22] ---
Ah, Judgment lady!
[07:25] ---
Hello there.
[07:26] ---
Long time no see, huh?
[07:28] ---
Here, look!
[07:29] ---
When I told them what I found here,
[07:31] ---
everyone else said they wanted one,
too, so I brought them here.
[07:34] ---
Is that right? Still,
do not stay here too late, okay?
[07:38] ---
Mm-hmm.
[07:39] ---
Found another one!
[07:41] ---
I found one, too!
And it has five leaves!
[07:44] ---
Let me see, let me see!
[07:45] ---
Look!
[07:46] ---
Oh, amazing! You're right!
[07:46] ---
Things really are peaceful, huh?
[08:01] ---
Homework?
[08:02] ---
Yes. I have to do a book report,
but I'm not sure what to write.
[08:08] ---
It is almost the end
of summer vacation, huh?
[08:12] ---
That's right. There's so
much of this and that left to do, too.
[08:17] ---
Ah, not again.
[08:18] ---
What?
[08:19] ---
Someone is trying to hack
into Sakugawa Middle School's
[08:22] ---
newspaper club's server,
which I was asked to supervise.
[08:25] ---
We have a cracker.
[08:27] ---
For crying out loud,
this has happened a lot lately.
[08:30] ---
Why would they go after a middle
school newspaper club's system?
[08:33] ---
Well, when you've
got an ironclad goalkeeper,
[08:36] ---
people are going to want
to take their best shot at them.
[08:38] ---
Huh? Did you say something?
[08:41] ---
Hmm?
[08:44] ---
Ah, they broke through
the firewall again. That's amazing.
[08:48] ---
You're almost in. Fight on!
[08:50] ---
Fight on? Are you sure
you should leave them alone?
[08:52] ---
It's okay. The server
itself is a trap, after all.
[08:56] ---
Reporting the IP address of
the one who hit me to Antiskill now...
[09:02] ---
Ugh... Maybe I should
read a different book.
[09:07] ---
But then, I don't know what to read.
[09:10] ---
Imagine, the legendary
goalkeeper's weakness is book reports...
[09:15] ---
Huh? Goalkeeper?
[09:18] ---
Mm-mm, nothing.
Can I do anything to help?
[09:20] ---
Thank you very much.
[09:22] ---
Oh, this isn't homework,
but Miss Konori,
[09:26] ---
do you know of a supermarket
near here with a good selection?
[09:30] ---
Supermarket? Why?
[09:33] ---
I'm going to a study group after this.
[09:35] ---
We're each buying something we like to eat
[09:37] ---
and getting together at Miss Saten's place.
[09:40] ---
There.
[09:45] ---
Oh, my, my...
[09:49] ---
Who have we here?
If it isn't Miss Shirai.
[09:52] ---
Kongo Mitsuko...
[09:54] ---
Are you here shopping?
[09:56] ---
Well, yes.
[10:02] ---
What are you here to buy?
[10:04] ---
A few items of food.
[10:05] ---
What a coincidence. So am I.
[10:08] ---
If you would like me to,
I would not mind accompanying you.
[10:12] ---
You do not have to look
down on me while saying so,
[10:14] ---
since we are both
here for the same thing,
[10:16] ---
we are just spontaneously
going into the same store.
[10:18] ---
I must say, though, you must be lonesome,
[10:21] ---
going out shopping without
a single one of your friends.
[10:25] ---
It appears to me that you, also,
are out shopping by yourself.
[10:30] ---
I-I am not doing so at all!
[10:32] ---
Miss Wannai and Miss Awatsuki
are waiting for me.
[10:36] ---
Not that we have
anything set up, however.
[10:38] ---
I am just passing the time
by doing some shopping
[10:40] ---
until the two of them
finish their swim club practice.
[10:43] ---
Something that is
popularly known as "being alone."
[10:47] ---
Come, this way!
This fantastic shop is a favorite of mine!
[10:51] ---
Huh? Hold on!
[10:54] ---
A pet shop?
[10:55] ---
My, the selection here
is as wonderful as ever!
[11:00] ---
Um, Kongo...
[11:01] ---
These have such nice,
plump volume!
[11:05] ---
Um...
[11:06] ---
Would you hold them a minute?
[11:10] ---
When you say food,
you meant for your pet, did you not?!
[11:13] ---
Ecaterina, like myself,
has very delicate tastes.
[11:18] ---
And Ecaterina is...
[11:21] ---
...that python?!
[11:29] ---
A turtle?
[11:48] ---
Ah...
[11:50] ---
Here about the girls?
[11:54] ---
[11:54] ---
"#17 Study Group"
[11:55] ---
Yes.
[11:57] ---
The girls are all doing well.
[12:01] ---
The one who was injured
is also making good progress...
[12:06] ---
...on the surface, anyhow.
[12:07] ---
On the surface?
[12:09] ---
Following my examination,
I have learned a few things.
[12:13] ---
They are clones, created from
the somatic cells of you, the Original,
[12:18] ---
but being administered various
drugs within the culture fluid,
[12:23] ---
the rapid growth of their
bodies has been promoted.
[12:27] ---
At a speed such that
growing from fertilized egg
[12:29] ---
to their current form
took a mere fourteen days.
[12:33] ---
As a result, these somatic cell clones,
[12:36] ---
whose lifespans are
already shorter anyway,
[12:38] ---
have had their lives
shortened even further.
[12:40] ---
By shortened, how long do you mean?
[12:44] ---
I can't make any sweeping statements,
[12:47] ---
but at most, I would
say another year or two.
[12:51] ---
Oh, no...
[12:54] ---
Which is why they need to be adjusted.
[12:58] ---
Adjusted?
[12:59] ---
By balancing the hormones
that promote rapid growth,
[13:04] ---
and regulating the rate
of division of the cell nuclei,
[13:07] ---
we should be able to recover
a certain degree of their lifespans.
[13:12] ---
There are so many of them, after all.
[13:15] ---
We are currently in
the process of dividing this up
[13:17] ---
among research organizations
outside of Academy City.
[13:21] ---
From here on,
as we exchange more data,
[13:23] ---
that is likely to continue
at each of these facilities.
[13:27] ---
Outside facilities? I see...
[13:31] ---
The fight for those girls
is still going to go on.
[13:36] ---
Though this time,
it won't be a fight to die,
[13:39] ---
but to live.
[13:53] ---
Hmm... I just don't know.
[13:56] ---
I wonder what everyone
else is going to buy.
[14:02] ---
I have found the ultimate ingredient!
[14:08] ---
All right.
[14:09] ---
Yikes, I'm running late.
[14:13] ---
I'm sure Kuroko is waiting.
[14:16] ---
Welcome!
[14:17] ---
Ah, I'm meeting someone here.
[14:27] ---
I'll bring you a menu
and some water right away.
[14:30] ---
Oh, no! I'm not with them.
[14:32] ---
Tch, this is why I dislike
family restaurants.
[14:35] ---
They've got spoiled young girls
with sheltered upbringings around.
[14:40] ---
You're not actually convinced
that you won back there, are you?
[14:43] ---
Huh?
[14:44] ---
All told, it is a question
of prior information.
[14:48] ---
If I had known that you were Railgun,
I would have taken more care
[14:51] ---
setting up my stuffed dolls...
[14:52] ---
Frenda...!
[14:53] ---
Huh?
[14:53] ---
You haven't forgotten that
it was because you neglected
[14:56] ---
to clear up your stuffed
dolls that she got away, have you?
[15:00] ---
Huh? Oh, uh, that's right, huh? Tee-hee!
[15:06] ---
Learn your lesson, you blockhead!
[15:08] ---
Ee-yow!
[15:09] ---
What is going on here?
[15:11] ---
Quarrels inside the restaurant
disturb the other customers.
[15:15] ---
As a member of Judgment,
I cannot overlook...
[15:18] ---
Wait, Sissy, it is you?
[15:20] ---
How can you be starting a
dispute in a public place like this?
[15:24] ---
I-I am not! I was just...
[15:26] ---
You have to be more
circumspect in your behavior!
[15:29] ---
You must not get into fights
with the weaker general population.
[15:32] ---
Who are you calling weak general
population, you grade-schooler?!
[15:36] ---
If you are referring to me,
then as you can see,
[15:38] ---
I am a full-fledged middle-schooler.
[15:41] ---
Besides, I was only speaking
out of concern for your welfare.
[15:44] ---
If you get Sissy seriously angry
at you, it could mean your lives.
[15:48] ---
Like I said,
[15:50] ---
you keep your nose out of
this, small-fry! If we got into it,
[15:52] ---
she would be the one
who gets shredded to bits!
[15:55] ---
I have to take issue with that.
[15:57] ---
Are you aware that Sissy
is the Railgun of Tokiwadai
[16:00] ---
when you say that baloney?
[16:01] ---
She has a much different combat
record from that little girl.
[16:04] ---
All told, Mugino is going to win!
[16:06] ---
No, Sissy will!
[16:08] ---
It will be Mugino!
[16:09] ---
Sissy!
[16:11] ---
Mugino!
[16:12] ---
Sissy!
[16:13] ---
Just being older does not mean anything!
[16:13] ---
Hold on, Kuroko...
[16:14] ---
You've got some nerve, little girl!
[16:15] ---
Hey, Frenda...
[16:16] ---
Sure, Sissy's underwear may
have cartoon characters on them,
[16:19] ---
and in addition, her childish tastes
[16:20] ---
lead all of her day-to-day
goods be fashion over function,
[16:23] ---
but as Tokiwadai's Ace,
she possesses very respectable power!
[16:27] ---
Same for Mugino! Maybe she
does have some sore spots,
[16:29] ---
like sporting underwear that
she feels free to show off to anyone,
[16:32] ---
but she is unmatched
when it comes to her abilities!
[16:34] ---
All told, with that flat chest,
she doesn't have any presence.
[16:38] ---
Ah, how vulgar, thinking that
size is all that matters!
[16:41] ---
When it comes to
future potential, it is all Sissy!
[16:43] ---
Hey, watch your hands!
[16:43] ---
Hey, watch your hands!
[16:49] ---
Man, I'll never be able to go back
to that restaurant again, you know!
[16:52] ---
Wait up, Mugino!
[16:55] ---
Hello!
[16:56] ---
Ah, come on in!
[16:58] ---
Huh? Shirai, you look a bit disheveled.
[17:01] ---
It is nothing at all.
[17:03] ---
Ta-da!
[17:04] ---
Oh, a stewpot!
[17:06] ---
I borrowed it from a friend of mine.
[17:08] ---
I have the stock all ready to go, too.
[17:10] ---
Wow, we must be about the only ones
[17:12] ---
to have a stew party in
the middle of summer, huh?
[17:15] ---
Sissy, it is not a stew party,
it is still a study group.
[17:20] ---
Oh, right, right.
[17:22] ---
Still, eating hot food when
it's hot out is good for the body.
[17:27] ---
What ingredients did all of you bring?
[17:30] ---
Well, I wasn't really sure what to get...
[17:35] ---
...but the man at the
meat counter suggested this,
[17:37] ---
so I went ahead and bought it.
[17:39] ---
Boxes?
[17:45] ---
Wow! There's beef inside these boxes!
[17:47] ---
The marbling is incredible!
[17:50] ---
Huh? Did I get something wrong?
[17:52] ---
No, I've never seen this before!
What about you, Uiharu?
[17:55] ---
Oh, I bought a whole lot of vegetables.
[17:58] ---
I focused it around summer veggies,
[18:00] ---
like okra, corn, mulukhiyah,
and also some tofu and mushrooms.
[18:05] ---
Packed with vitamins,
it sounds really healthy.
[18:07] ---
Oh, yeah!
[18:09] ---
Young ladies must seek
after beauty at mealtimes, as well!
[18:12] ---
As it stands, it looks like
the ingredient that I prepared
[18:15] ---
is going to take the limelight!
[18:17] ---
Miss Shirai, what did you buy?
[18:20] ---
I was unsure at first.
When I was in the pet shop,
[18:22] ---
with plump mice in hand,
I was not sure what I would do.
[18:27] ---
M-Mice?
[18:28] ---
Pet shop?
[18:30] ---
However!
[18:31] ---
Immediately afterward,
I had an epiphany!
[18:33] ---
I said, this is an ingredient
befitting Sissy!
[18:36] ---
What on earth did you buy?!
[18:37] ---
Miss Shirai, we're not
playing stew-in-the-dark!
[18:40] ---
And that ingredient is...!
[18:43] ---
"Soft-shell turtle"
[18:44] ---
Turtle?
[18:46] ---
The soft collagen is certain
[18:47] ---
to enhance Sissy's fresh,
youthful skin to be even more beautiful!
[18:52] ---
And this...!
[18:53] ---
W-What is it?
[18:55] ---
Fresh soft-shell turtle blood.
[18:57] ---
It is mixed with apple juice
to make it easier to drink.
[18:59] ---
Now, go ahead and gulp it right down.
[19:01] ---
After drinking this, you will be
bustling with vigor--no,
[19:04] ---
in fact, you will be
utterly filled with vitality!
[19:07] ---
You may get so fired up,
there is a possibility
[19:10] ---
that you will be unable to get to sleep,
[19:12] ---
but if that happens,
I will come lie beside you...
[19:15] ---
Now then, let's start putting it all in!
[19:22] ---
Mmm, delicious! This tastes great!
[19:25] ---
This is the first time I've
ever eaten turtle, but it is delicious.
[19:29] ---
The turtle is good,
but this meat is the greatest!
[19:32] ---
The veggies are pretty good, too.
[19:34] ---
Which means it all ended up tasting good.
[19:37] ---
Yes it did.
[19:38] ---
I hope Haru'ue gets here soon.
[19:41] ---
I think she should be
arriving any moment now.
[19:44] ---
Should we have eaten without her?
[19:46] ---
We still have plenty of
ingredients here.
[19:49] ---
Yeah, yeah, let's keep on eating!
[19:54] ---
You know, it's a real mystery, huh?
[19:56] ---
What is?
[19:57] ---
Why is it that food tastes better
when it is eaten as a group?
[20:05] ---
Mm-hmm, the fact that
we're making it here while we eat
[20:07] ---
is a big factor too, isn't it?
[20:09] ---
I guess when it comes
to main dishes and cookies,
[20:11] ---
nothing beats homemade,
does it, Misaka?
[20:15] ---
Sissy, what is the matter?!
[20:17] ---
Are you all right?
[20:19] ---
I-I'm fine.
[20:21] ---
But your face is all red,
and you are perspiring unusually.
[20:24] ---
Huh? I said I'm all right!
[20:26] ---
Ah, these mushrooms look
delicious! Ooh! Hot! Hot!
[20:28] ---
How adorable.
[20:30] ---
Oh, Miss Saten...
[20:33] ---
I'm sorry I'm so late.
[20:36] ---
Come in, come in!
We've been waiting for you!
[20:38] ---
Oh, it's Miss Haru'ue!
[20:40] ---
Wow, this looks delicious!
[20:42] ---
Did you get your errand
taken care of, then?
[20:44] ---
Mm-hmm. I needed
to speak to my teacher.
[20:49] ---
This stew is really good.
I'll get a bowl ready for you.
[20:53] ---
Haru'ue, did you
buy any ingredients for us?
[20:56] ---
I bought some udon noodles.
[20:57] ---
Oh, that will be
perfect to round things out.
[21:00] ---
Okay, let's eat, let's eat!
[21:19] ---
Yeah, sure, Sissy!
[21:21] ---
Oh, why not?
[21:27] ---
Ah, I'm full, I'm full.
[21:29] ---
We will have to
diet for a little while, huh?
[21:32] ---
Still, that sure was fun, wasn't it?
[21:34] ---
I want to have another study
group sometime.
[21:36] ---
Yes. Getting the paperwork
together for it is hard, though.
[21:40] ---
We're not out past
our return time, are we?!
[21:42] ---
We are still all right,
but I think we should hurry a little.
[21:47] ---
If we are even one minute over,
our punishment will be merciless.
[21:51] ---
Yikes. Let's hurry!
[21:56] ---
Kuroko? What's wrong?
[21:59] ---
Nothing.
[22:06] ---
Let's go home.
[22:09] ---
Right, Sissy!
[22:23] ---
The world into which I'm
stepping is too big for me
[22:30] ---
Acting tough to camouflage my impatience
and anxiety, I overextended myself
[22:36] ---
My mind still up in the
air over answers I cannot find,
[22:43] ---
time rushes by with no time to even breathe
[22:50] ---
If we're stifled by the daily grind,
[22:56] ---
come on, let's take a deep breath,
[23:00] ---
and set out for the hilltop at
the end of the rainbow
[23:06] ---
We'll carve out another unforgettable day
[23:11] ---
For the fact that we met
(I thank you)
[23:16] ---
It surely is something precious
[23:19] ---
Let's face forward and start walking,
carrying forward to tomorrow
[23:25] ---
We've shared some smiles
(and I thank you)
[23:28] ---
Let's take our joys and sorrows
[23:32] ---
and share them together, over and over
[23:47] ---
"Next episode preview"
[23:48] ---
That should do it.
[23:48] ---
"#18 Moving"
[23:49] ---
We cleaned up quicker than expected,
[23:51] ---
huh, Miss Haru'ue?
[23:52] ---
Mm-hmm. Miss Uiharu?
[23:54] ---
Yes?
[23:55] ---
I really am grateful.
