[00:23] ---
    What do you think of my kendama skills?
[00:25] ---
    That was amazing.
    You mean you mastered all that in one night?
[00:30] ---
    Yes. You can get so you
    can do this by just dreaming.
[00:33] ---
    Sleep-learning, huh? I didn't realize
    Indian Poker could be used like that.
[00:39] ---
    There are those who
    mastered English conversation
[00:41] ---
    through the dreams of
    someone fluent in English
[00:43] ---
    and who acquired
    professional-rank bowling skills
[00:46] ---
    through the dreams of an ace bowler.
[00:48] ---
    And next up for me is this
    one--a master-class pen spinner.
[00:53] ---
    Seems like her selections
    skew pretty heavily.
[00:56] ---
    So you know people who are expert
    kendama players and pen spinners?
[01:01] ---
    No. I get them through a Trader.
[01:03] ---
    A Trader?
[01:04] ---
    At first, all we could do
    was trade cards among friends.
[01:08] ---
    But that inevitably got
    pretty humdrum after a while.
[01:11] ---
    Lately, there have been Traders who deal
    in large volumes of cards classed by rank.
[01:16] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[01:17] ---
    The more popular S-Rank and A-Rank cards
    can generally be acquired through Traders now.
[01:24] ---
    By exchanging several low-ranking cards,
[01:27] ---
    or by buying them straight-out with cash.
    I traded for this one.
[01:31] ---
    Traders, huh?
[01:34] ---
    BLAU! BLAU! BLAU! BLAU! BLAU!
[01:39] ---
    I just hope there's nothing
    funny circulating around...
[02:11] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[03:17] ---
    Whew, I can finally have a shower.
[03:21] ---
    You can wipe away blood,
    but that metallic smell still stays in your hair.
[03:25] ---
    That's because you didn't use your ability,
    you just ultra-pummeled them.
[03:28] ---
    Today's target was
    kind of a pain in the ass, right?
[03:32] ---
    A quick Meltdowner blast didn't seem
    like it would let me vent my stress.
[03:37] ---
    Takitsubo, would you mind
    fetching me the Cybele #5?
[03:46] ---
    The one with the orange label?
[03:48] ---
    Yeah, that one.
[03:49] ---
    Here.
[03:55] ---
    Mugino and Takitsubo are
    both sporting some spectacular goods.
[03:59] ---
    But taking my age and height into
    consideration, my figure is the ideal!
[04:04] ---
    In comprehensive terms, I can safely
    declare that my body is ultra-perfect!
[04:08] ---
    Not to mention we also have
    the ultra-flat-chested Frenda!
[04:15] ---
    F-Frenda, have certain parts
    of your body ultra-developed?
[04:20] ---
    Hmm? Yeah, a little bit lately, huh?
[04:23] ---
    Maybe it's because my
    little sister has been rubbing them.
[04:25] ---
    My bras have been fitting tighter,
    and I've had to buy new ones more frequently.
[04:29] ---
    There's so many other things
    I'd like to take time shopping for, too!
[04:33] ---
    It really is getting to be a pain!
[04:36] ---
    I'm back.
[04:37] ---
    Took you long enough.
[04:39] ---
    Damn it, why do I have to be an errand boy?
[04:41] ---
    Quit your griping and hand it over, already.
[04:45] ---
    There.
[04:46] ---
    --Banana tea.
    --Thank you.
[04:49] ---
    Black bean cider.
[04:51] ---
    Thank you!
[04:52] ---
    And Kinuhata, you weren't
    there when they ordered,
[04:55] ---
    so I bought a few for you to choose from.
[04:57] ---
    Pomegranate cola,
[04:58] ---
    guarana green juice,
[05:00] ---
    and Musashino milk.
[05:02] ---
    What did you have in mind
    when you bought the milk for me?
[05:06] ---
    "Musashino Milk"
[05:06] ---
    Huh? Drinking this is supposed
    to be good for growing kids.
[05:11] ---
    Wh-What was that for?!
[05:14] ---
    Hey! Stop ultra-ducking me!
[05:17] ---
    Don't kill him. Re-staffing
    subsidiary organizations is a hassle.
[05:28] ---
    This is ultra-aggravating.
[05:33] ---
    Care for a card, little lady?
[05:35] ---
    Oh, Indian Poker? I *am *Nultra-peeved right now.
[05:40] ---
    Maybe it will help alleviate
    some of my stress.
[05:42] ---
    "Talented rock singer"
[05:43] ---
    "Omelet expert"
[05:44] ---
    "Speed up your..." "*Kunoichi *NWorld" "A Maid's Day"
[05:47] ---
    Which one should I choose?
[05:50] ---
    Okay, I'll take this one,
    and this one, and this one, please.
[05:53] ---
    Okay, three C-Ranks. Thank you.
[05:56] ---
    Right, thank you.
[05:59] ---
    Ah, that must be one of those
    Traders Miss Saten was talking about.
[06:04] ---
    Miss, have you decided?
[06:06] ---
    Hmm, I'm ultra-lost here.
[06:08] ---
    I recommend this one.
    It was created by a Portuguese teacher
[06:12] ---
    and could let you master
    the language in a snap.
[06:15] ---
    No, I'm ultra-uninterested
    in the knowledge or skill types.
[06:19] ---
    I'm looking for something where I can
    ultra-experience a story in the dream.
[06:22] ---
    And not an A-Rank one,
    geared toward amateurs, either;
[06:25] ---
    I want an ultra-incisive one,
    C-Rank or below, with matchless character.
[06:30] ---
    Huh, I guess everyone
    wants something different.
[06:34] ---
    How about you?
[06:35] ---
    Oh, no, I've had an ultra-bad
    experience with these before, so...
[06:40] ---
    Um, did I do something wrong?
[06:43] ---
    No...
[06:44] ---
    Railgun! If Mugino were here,
    there'd be an ultra-bloodbath,
[06:47] ---
    but I have the day off.
    Everything's ultra-fine.
[06:50] ---
    Ho, so you drew a dud card, did you, Miss?
[06:54] ---
    But you know, if you give up on
    dreams just because you had a bad one,
[06:57] ---
    then your life from here on
    out won't be much fun.
[07:00] ---
    Who asked you?
[07:01] ---
    "A Rank"
[07:02] ---
    "B Rank"
[07:03] ---
    "C Rank"
[07:04] ---
    You don't have any S-Rank cards out, huh?
[07:07] ---
    Well, I keep those in reserve.
[07:09] ---
    All I have right now is this single card.
[07:12] ---
    It's not anything pornographic, is it?
[07:14] ---
    I can't really deal in those here.
[07:17] ---
    If you want one, though,
    we could retire to the back alley.
[07:20] ---
    No, I didn't say I wanted one...
[07:22] ---
    Then try this one out.
[07:24] ---
    This one has a sort of story behind it.
[07:27] ---
    It's loaded with the dream of a
    certain long-lost but brilliant scientist.
[07:32] ---
    Apparently, he was quite the wack job,
    even by Academy City standards.
[07:35] ---
    His final research theme
    was called "Bust Upper"!
[07:40] ---
    There's a chance that the
    essence of it is infused within here.
[07:45] ---
    Now, whether you believe
    that or not is up to--
[07:49] ---
    Huh?
[07:57] ---
    "Musashino Milk"
[07:58] ---
    Drinking this is supposed
    to be good for growing kids...
[08:01] ---
    ...growing kids... growing kids...
[08:03] ---
    It's ultra-easy to beat a whipped
    subordinate into obeying you.
[08:07] ---
    But as a woman, to do so
    makes me feel ultra-defeated.
[08:11] ---
    If I'm going to knock that stupid jerk
    down a peg and get him to respect me...
[08:15] ---
    Miss, I was the first one
    to grab this card, you know.
[08:20] ---
    My fingers were the
    ultra-first ones to touch it.
[08:22] ---
    Unless my ears were deceiving me,
[08:25] ---
    you said you weren't interested
    in knowledge and skill cards.
[08:28] ---
    For someone who said they had
    an ultra-bad experience with a card before
[08:32] ---
    and were done with them,
    it's ultra-shameful of you to call the kettle black.
[08:37] ---
    Take your hand off the card already,
    you dirty little runt.
[08:40] ---
    Keep dreaming, you ultra-ironing-board jerk!
[08:45] ---
    This girl is no ordinary customer.
[08:48] ---
    Given the information gap and the distance
    between us, I'm at an ultra-advantage.
[08:51] ---
    I don't think she can beat me.
[08:55] ---
    J-Just a minute! If the film gets
    peeled off, it will become unstable,
[08:58] ---
    and then nobody will be able to use it!
[09:06] ---
    Ow...
[09:08] ---
    M-My cards! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...
[09:12] ---
    Now I don't know which card is which!
[09:15] ---
    I remember it was silver-colored.
[09:18] ---
    There are several cards that look like that.
[09:21] ---
    Aw, now what do I do?
[09:26] ---
    I'll buy all of the cards you have here.
[09:28] ---
    Huh? I-I don't have any problem
    with that, myself, but...
[09:31] ---
    No...
[09:33] ---
    I'll pay half of it.
[09:41] ---
    "#18 Bust Upper"
[09:41] ---
    Thank you...
[09:47] ---
    "Nap Room"
[09:48] ---
    After some more careful thinking,
[09:50] ---
    what we both really want is
    the method of obtaining Bust Upper,
[09:53] ---
    and whichever one of us hits the jackpot
[09:56] ---
    can just provide that
    information to the other, right?
[09:59] ---
    An unproductive conflict is ultra-absurd.
[10:02] ---
    Besides, if we're going to check each
    and every one of this many cards...
[10:05] ---
    ...two heads...
[10:07] ---
    ...are better than one.
[10:08] ---
    Both of us share the same motive.
[10:10] ---
    Ultra-good luck to us both.
[10:19] ---
    Self-performed physical exams, done monthly.
[10:22] ---
    No change at all in breast size
    during the latter teen years?!
[10:27] ---
    And yet my classmate's breast
    development has been so pronounced,
[10:27] ---
    --Va-va-voom! Va-va-voom! Va-va--
[10:30] ---
    --one wonders if that isn't
    the core of her body!
[10:30] ---
    --Va-va-voom! Va-va-voom! Va-va--
[10:32] ---
    No, let's think about this differently.
[10:32] ---
    --Va-va-voom! Va-va-voom! Va-va--
[10:34] ---
    If there is no change in these measurements,
[10:37] ---
    it means that I'm holding on to my youth.
[10:39] ---
    I'm still in the clear.
[10:43] ---
    My waist has grown three centimeters?!
[10:47] ---
    N-No... If I convince myself
    baselessly that I'll develop eventually,
[10:53] ---
    it'll be too late once I end up like that.
[10:55] ---
    Hmm? What's this?
[10:58] ---
    I'm a maid?
[10:59] ---
    But this is an ultra-plain room
    for someone to have to hire a maid.
[11:04] ---
    Looks more like an ordinary dorm--
[11:06] ---
    --Bam!
    --A perv!
[11:07] ---
    My super-rare Loli Leviathan Bra Maid
    top has arrived from London!
[11:12] ---
    This will look good on you even if
    you aren't 36-24-36 like a fallen angel!
[11:17] ---
    If you don't get that nasty thing
    out of my sight, I'll ultra-kill you!
[11:22] ---
    Whoa! Your refusal today
    is especially extreme! However...
[11:27] ---
    ...I believe that the only one fit
    for this filly from Britain is you,
[11:30] ---
    the most beautiful maid
    in all of Academy City.
[11:34] ---
    I hope you realize that, at least.
[11:37] ---
    This man is an idiot and crazy,
    but his heart is sincere, pure, and simple.
[11:42] ---
    Whomever this dream belongs
    to doesn't hate him deep down inside.
[11:45] ---
    The opinions of the world
    at large don't matter.
[11:48] ---
    As long as the man I adore acknowledges me...
[11:50] ---
    I'm sure the size of my breasts
    is all the same. Is that how things are?
[11:55] ---
    If you don't like that one,
    I also have this maid swimsuit--
[12:00] ---
    Look, I'm ultra-against
    this sort of perversion.
[12:06] ---
    He's late. How dare someone like
    Yobou keep me waiting.
[12:11] ---
    I'll have to punish him for this later.
[12:15] ---
    I'm being watched. Is she hostile?
[12:18] ---
    No, her posture is that of a regular person.
[12:21] ---
    A high-class suit and shoes
    well worn-down from walking.
[12:25] ---
    A business card case in her inside pocket.
[12:28] ---
    Sh-Sh-She's not about to--!
[12:30] ---
    I'm a producer for a talent agency.
    How would you like to be an idol?
[12:35] ---
    Huh?
[12:38] ---
    The pure and innocent young lady
    from the Garden of Learning
[12:40] ---
    in her brilliant debut!
[12:42] ---
    I would be an instant sensation!
    But no, if that were to happen,
[12:47] ---
    I would become alienated
    from my class friends.
[12:52] ---
    I have to...
[12:54] ---
    ...turn her down...
[12:56] ---
    Excuse me,
[12:57] ---
    --do you have a moment?
    --H-H-Huh?
[13:00] ---
    Excuse my abruptness,
    but would you like to be an idol?
[13:02] ---
    Huh?
[13:08] ---
    You are a woman of discerning taste, I see!
    However, I am a student.
[13:12] ---
    In order for me to perform my part,
    I am afraid I must decline.
[13:15] ---
    We are dead even in the looks department.
[13:18] ---
    Moreover, I was standing in front of her!
[13:21] ---
    Why?
[13:24] ---
    That's why!
[13:25] ---
    I hate it! I hate the
    social stratification of bust sizes!
[13:28] ---
    If my breasts were just
    five centimeters larger...!
[13:36] ---
    Imagine, being wounded by a friend in
    a dream from someone I don't even know...
[13:42] ---
    The uniform this girl is wearing
    emphasizes the bust line nicely.
[13:46] ---
    I wonder where I can buy one.
[13:57] ---
    First a maid, now a kunoichi.
[14:00] ---
    "Temptress Scroll"
[14:01] ---
    What's this?
[14:03] ---
    A temptress scroll?
[14:05] ---
    Must be a technique for ultra-abducting men.
[14:09] ---
    "Use your feminine form to the utmost.
    The bigger your breasts, the better.
[14:14] ---
    If you can direct his gaze
    to your breasts in combat,
[14:16] ---
    you can create an opening to attack.
[14:18] ---
    Your charms can be useful in
    seducing even insurmountable foes."
[14:22] ---
    Tch, men really are nothing
    but a bunch of stupid scum!
[14:26] ---
    "On those occasions, forsake
    all sense of shame.
[14:29] ---
    However, feigning bashfulness
    is permissible."
[14:32] ---
    Ha! Girls who are well-endowed
    don't have any shame to begin with!
[14:37] ---
    "Ooh, my shoulders are stiff."
    "Ooh, I don't have any cute bras."
[14:39] ---
    All they do is humblebrag!
[14:41] ---
    "However, there are
    also underdeveloped shinobi."
[14:44] ---
    Nobody ultra-asked you!
[14:45] ---
    "If that is you, consider your legs!
    You can charm them with your legs.
[14:49] ---
    Go ahead and show off your
    inner thighs to incite their lust."
[14:52] ---
    Mm-hmm, well, I guess they do get it, huh?
[14:55] ---
    "Though the boobs are in greater demand.
    You'll never beat those out."
[14:59] ---
    Shut the ultra-hell up!
[15:01] ---
    I can always subjugate men with my fists!
[15:04] ---
    If you like big lumps of fat so much,
    you can eat fatty foods your whole life
[15:07] ---
    and die racked with gout,
    you big dumb, dumb, dummy!
[15:12] ---
    You're bothering the other guests here.
    Could you please keep it down?
[15:16] ---
    I'm ultra-sorry.
[15:22] ---
    I am a telekinesist, too.
    A much better one than you are.
[15:32] ---
    Aw, I remembered it again.
[15:35] ---
    Looking so smug while jumping the gun.
    That was really embarrassing.
[15:39] ---
    Are you still feeling down?
[15:42] ---
    Miss Kobayashi?
[15:45] ---
    The Daihasei Festival is
    over. Please cheer up.
[15:50] ---
    I messed up big-time, too,
    but it doesn't bother me now.
[15:54] ---
    But...
[15:55] ---
    Our Queen told me that feeling down
    is a waste of our brain's resources.
[16:01] ---
    So, come on, shoulders back, chest out!
[16:04] ---
    That may be fine for you, Miss Kobayashi,
[16:08] ---
    but with my chest like this,
    there's no point in sticking it out.
[16:12] ---
    You have plenty!
[16:14] ---
    If you're saying that at your size,
    there isn't any point,
[16:16] ---
    does that also mean that
    anything less is also pointless?!
[16:18] ---
    Have you even considered
    the feelings of people
[16:21] ---
    who aren't even sure when
    to start calling them boobs?!
[16:26] ---
    Would you mind leaving now?
[16:28] ---
    Okay.
[16:32] ---
    There's still some cards ultra-left unchecked.
    What do you want to do?
[16:35] ---
    Hmm, there's a hotel I
    sometimes visit nearby...
[16:39] ---
    "Undergoing renovations"
[16:41] ---
    I am terribly sorry,
    but because of the renovations,
[16:44] ---
    our general public rooms
    are closed for about a week.
[16:49] ---
    Hmm, my dorm, to say nothing
    of the Garden of Learning,
[16:53] ---
    would need us to jump through
    a bunch of hoops to allow a visitor in.
[16:56] ---
    I can't very well bring
    her back to our hideout, can I?
[16:59] ---
    For that matter, if Mugino saw me
    hanging around with Railgun,
[17:02] ---
    things would get ultra-messy.
[17:06] ---
    Is the outdoor lounge still open?
[17:12] ---
    It is nice and warm out today.
[17:16] ---
    This is ultra-good-enough.
[17:39] ---
    Huh? This isn't like all the others before.
[17:42] ---
    I haven't changed into anyone else.
[17:45] ---
    That moment you dream of a brighter future--
[17:48] ---
    could there be any time
    when you are filled with more hope?
[17:53] ---
    Yeah...
[17:54] ---
    Like, say, the size of a girl's breasts.
[17:57] ---
    Any girl would want to gain
    a figure that people admire,
[18:02] ---
    but the process of developing,
[18:03] ---
    and the excitement as you
    grow into your ideal body type--
[18:08] ---
    the period where you are able to feel that...
[18:11] ---
    ...is the sweetest time of your life.
[18:14] ---
    But we experience many
    obstacles in our way during life.
[18:19] ---
    They throw a wet blanket
    over our hopes for the future.
[18:23] ---
    Like, for instance, a
    threat you cannot ignore.
[18:27] ---
    But then, eliminating that threat
    may introduce yet another threat.
[18:34] ---
    What would you do if that happened?
[18:43] ---
    What kind of dream was that?
[19:15] ---
    We ended up viewing all of them,
    and Bust Upper wasn't in any of them.
[19:19] ---
    The next time I come across
    that Trader, I'm ultra-killing him.
[19:22] ---
    I thought something seemed
    off from the start.
[19:25] ---
    There's no way he would have just
    had such a specifically-targeted item.
[19:28] ---
    It's just an urban legend.
    There's no basis to it.
[19:31] ---
    And a scientist that just dropped off the map?
    That seems awfully fishy, too.
[19:35] ---
    Even for a made-up story,
    I ultra-wish it had been more realistic.
[19:53] ---
    Avert.
[19:54] ---
    Uh, look, I'm sorry.
    I didn't know you hated milk so much.
[20:00] ---
    I figured it's the go-to beverage
    for people to grow taller.
[20:04] ---
    Taller?
[20:05] ---
    Remember, you said so earlier,
    when I faked your student ID,
[20:10] ---
    so we could go see that rated-R15 movie,
[20:13] ---
    and the lady behind the counter
    gave you that look of suspicion?
[20:16] ---
    I wish I could be a little bit taller.
[20:20] ---
    So anyway, I thought maybe
    you'd like some milk.
[20:25] ---
    --Yow! Wh-What did you
    do that for?! M-My leg!
[20:28] ---
    --That was ultra-misleading!
    --Yow! Wh-What did you do that for?! M-My leg!
[20:32] ---
    Anyhow, there was this girl who
    kept saying "ultra" this and "ultra" that.
[20:35] ---
    We kind of got off on the wrong foot,
[20:38] ---
    but after we talked for a bit,
    she seemed like a surprisingly good girl.
[20:41] ---
    Sissy, it is about time
    we should go to sleep.
[20:45] ---
    I napped so much this afternoon,
    I'm not at all sleepy now.
[20:49] ---
    Oh, come to mention it, I had this one dream.
[20:53] ---
    There was this girl who
    was a street performer.
[20:55] ---
    She wasn't very endowed,
    but she was wearing this super-revealing outfit.
[20:59] ---
    And she was so confident, too.
[21:04] ---
    I am ever saying that I hope to spend
    the night together with you, Sissy,
[21:10] ---
    but this is not the way I meant it.
[21:18] ---
    You see? You see, you see? Well?
[21:20] ---
    Wow, you really got that good overnight?
[21:23] ---
    Yeah. It's so much fun!
[21:26] ---
    Next up, I'm thinking of getting
    a card from a house-of-cards expert.
[21:31] ---
    House of cards, you say?
[21:33] ---
    That sounds like something else
    that will be utterly useless.
[21:36] ---
    Though that is just like you.
[21:38] ---
    Aw, I wish nighttime would get here, already.
[21:47] ---
    Did you see that girl? Her breasts are huge!
[21:51] ---
    Hey, that's impolite to say, Miss Saten!
[21:52] ---
    Oh, where's the harm?
[23:24] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:25] ---
    That was an ultra-awful experience.
    So, what are you up to, Frenda?
[23:26] ---
    "Next episode preview"
    "#19 Strange Coincidence"
[23:30] ---
    Just texting with a little someone I know.
[23:32] ---
    Let's see. "I got pounded on by
    my associate. She has gorilla power."
[23:36] ---
    Wait, who are you talking about?
[23:38] ---
    Eep! Who, indeed?
[23:41] ---
