**[00:38] ---**
Sissy, it is morning.
At last, this day has arrived!
**[00:43] ---**
At last?
**[00:45] ---**
Today is your big moment, Sissy.
**[00:47] ---**
And while to you, big moments
may be a daily occurrence,
**[00:51] ---**
today's will be particularly special.
**[00:53] ---**
I, and of course,
the rest of the dormitory,
**[00:55] ---**
have been looking forward to this day!
**[00:58] ---**
My big moment, huh?
**[01:01] ---**
There must be any number
of girls, besides myself,
**[01:03] ---**
who would be just as appropriate.
**[01:06] ---**
My, how modest!
**[01:07] ---**
When one thinks of the pride
of Tokiwadai's most skilled students,
**[01:10] ---**
with one accord, everyone
thinks of you, Sissy, do they not?
**[01:14] ---**
Well, I guess now that
it's all set, I can't get out of it.
**[01:17] ---**
That's my Sissy, all right.
**[01:20] ---**
Now then, to get you changed,
to get you changed...
**[01:27] ---**
I'll do it myself!
You don't have to tell me!
**[01:30] ---**
Now that it's all set...
**[01:44] ---**
*Resonating wishes now awaken*
**[01:48] ---**
*for the sake of a future I can't concede*
**[01:51] ---**
*Beyond surpassing
our destined encounter*
**[01:55] ---**
*my feelings will still shine*
**[02:01] ---**
*Entrusting my dreams
to a future elsewhere*
**[02:08] ---**
*I kept searching for
the real meaning of strength*
**[02:14] ---**
*I learned the meaning
of accepting pain as it is*
**[02:21] ---**
*from you, always running toward tomorrow*
**[02:27] ---**
*The background rushes on now around me*
**[02:31] ---**
*beyond the world I draw in*
**[02:34] ---**
*I feel the signal pouring
in with my whole body*
**[02:38] ---**
*and now release everything I have*
**[02:41] ---**
*Just truth in my heart*
**[02:42] ---**
*I will never waver*
**[02:45] ---**
*because I have indelible dreams*
**[02:48] ---**
*And without averting my eyes
from the truth being revealed*
**[02:52] ---**
*I'll reach the next stage to realize all*
**[02:56] ---**
*believing in our certain bond*
**[03:02] ---**
"Tokiwadai Middle School Girls'
Dormitory Midsummer Festival"
**[03:06] ---**
One day each year,
the Tokiwadai Girls' Dormitories
**[03:10] ---**
open their usually-closed
doors to the public.
**[03:13] ---**
It is our midsummer festival.
**[03:15] ---**
Today, the special guests that
you have invited are allowed inside.
**[03:19] ---**
As dorm residents, be sure
to comport yourselves honorably,
**[03:22] ---**
and be absolutely sure to avoid any mishaps.
**[03:25] ---**
"Midsummer Festival"
**[03:28] ---**
I don't see why we
couldn't extend our hospitality
**[03:30] ---**
in some other outfit, though.
**[03:36] ---**
Welcome! Here is the pamphlet for today.
**[03:41] ---**
You sure are cute.
Would it be okay if I took a picture?
**[03:44] ---**
I'm terribly sorry, but we ask that there be
**[03:47] ---**
no photography within the dorms.
**[03:48] ---**
--Oh... very nice... very nice...!
**[03:49] ---**
--I said no photography...!
--Oh... very nice... very nice...!
**[03:52] ---**
Yes! Yes! Yes! Very nice!
**[03:55] ---**
It's not either nice!
Why are you taking pictures?!
**[03:57] ---**
Please, do not get the wrong idea.
**[04:00] ---**
Today, I am acting as the
midsummer festival's archivist.
**[04:01] ---**
"Archivist"
**[04:02] ---**
I am taking reference photos for
the sake of future years' festivals.
**[04:07] ---**
However, Sissy...
**[04:09] ---**
I am not sure how I feel about
you wearing shorts under this dress.
**[04:13] ---**
Could you at least put on a pair of drawers?
**[04:18] ---**
Listen, Kuroko,
**[04:20] ---**
would you mind telling me
how taking those pictures of me
**[04:22] ---**
will be a reference for the
sake of future years' festivals?
**[04:26] ---**
Ow-w-w... You mishundershtand, Shisshy...
**[04:30] ---**
Hello!
**[04:33] ---**
I see you're at it again, as usual.
**[04:38] ---**
Miss Shirai, thanks for the
invitation to the midsummer festival!
**[04:42] ---**
It is, after all, the dorm festival
for Tokiwadai Middle School!
**[04:45] ---**
I'm sure that there are
things in store for us
**[04:48] ---**
that will far exceed our imaginations!
**[04:51] ---**
You are welcome. I am sure
your expectations will not be let down
**[04:54] ---**
by the wonderful events that
are to come, so please enjoy them.
**[04:59] ---**
Now then, allow me to show you around--
**[05:01] ---**
Just a minute.
**[05:03] ---**
Shirai, what do you intend to
do about assisting with the buffet?
**[05:07] ---**
Uh... I-I forgot...
**[05:10] ---**
Um...
**[05:12] ---**
Ah, allow me to introduce you.
**[05:14] ---**
This is Tsuchimikado Maika,
from Ryoran Girls' Housekeeping School.
**[05:18] ---**
Her school is overseeing
the cooking for our dorm festival.
**[05:22] ---**
Ryoran? You mean the
one that trains maid specialists?
**[05:27] ---**
Tsuchimikado Maika.
**[05:30] ---**
And, these are my friends,
Uiharu Kazari, and Saten Ruiko.
**[05:36] ---**
It's a pleasure.
**[05:37] ---**
It's a pleasure to meet you.
**[05:39] ---**
If you have any trouble,
feel free to ask for anything.
**[05:43] ---**
Now, Shirai, come with me.
**[05:45] ---**
J-Just a moment, please! I cannot
just abandon Uiharu and company.
**[05:50] ---**
But you *can* abandon your work, is that it?
**[05:52] ---**
--No, not at all. But as for
that, um, you see... that is...
**[05:54] ---**
--I'll show you around, instead.
**[05:59] ---**
Now then, where should we start?
Is there anywhere you'd like to--
**[06:03] ---**
Yes! Yes, yes, yes!
**[06:05] ---**
There is! There is somewhere I'd like to see!
**[06:08] ---**
Here, and here, and here,
and then, from here to here!
**[06:13] ---**
That's everywhere, isn't it?
**[06:15] ---**
Miss Saten, for now, at least,
I am not the regular Uiharu Kazari.
**[06:20] ---**
I hereby declare that I am playing...
**[06:21] ---**
...Limiter Removal!
**[06:25] ---**
Well, okay, let's go everywhere in order.
**[06:31] ---**
Wow! Imagine, a display like this!
**[06:34] ---**
That's an all-girls' school for you!
Right, Miss Saten?
**[06:38] ---**
Is this really made from sugar?
It sure is well done.
**[06:43] ---**
Let's see...
**[06:50] ---**
It's every bit sugar.
**[06:53] ---**
You can't eat that,
you know! It's a display model!
**[06:57] ---**
Right, Miss Misaka--
**[06:59] ---**
If you like,
**[07:00] ---**
Miss Misaka, how about another one?
**[07:02] ---**
Oh, thanks, but I don't think so.
**[07:10] ---**
Wow, that's amazingly detailed, huh?
**[07:14] ---**
"Stitching Classroom"
**[07:14] ---**
Miss Saten, Miss Saten!
**[07:16] ---**
We can do it for ourselves!
**[07:18] ---**
All right, all right. We will.
**[07:20] ---**
Miss Misaka, would you join us?
**[07:22] ---**
Huh? Thanks, but I...
**[07:24] ---**
Okay, that settles it! Three, please!
**[07:35] ---**
This turned out pretty well.
Look, Miss Saten...
**[07:42] ---**
It's not quite as good as when
I made one for my brothers' bag.
**[07:52] ---**
How is yours coming?
**[08:00] ---**
Wow, these are fantastic!
**[08:03] ---**
You get the sense that
"flower arranging equals young ladies," huh?
**[08:06] ---**
They all seem so graceful.
**[08:08] ---**
That may be the general impression, I guess.
**[08:11] ---**
It appears a lot in TV dramas, too.
**[08:13] ---**
Excuse me, did you arrange
all of the flowers here yourselves?
**[08:18] ---**
Yes, of course.
**[08:20] ---**
Wow, they're very pretty.
**[08:23] ---**
Thank you for saying so, but...
**[08:25] ---**
...the flowers you have among
your locks are even prettier.
**[08:28] ---**
It's true. Far more so than our own.
**[08:33] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[08:40] ---**
"Summer Skies"
**[09:00] ---**
Tokiwadai Middle School's
dorm festival is a sight to behold.
**[09:04] ---**
I am greatly impressed.
Looking at any one of the exhibits,
**[09:09] ---**
they do things that we couldn't
possibly do at our school here.
**[09:13] ---**
Don't you agree, Miss Ruiko?
**[09:20] ---**
How could you do that here, Miss Saten?!
**[09:23] ---**
Welcome back.
**[09:25] ---**
You know, you sounded like you
were off someplace far away, there.
**[09:28] ---**
Don't "welcome back" me!
I did not go anywhere!
**[09:31] ---**
Here,
**[09:32] ---**
that should do it.
**[09:34] ---**
Thank you very much. Um...
Miss Misaka, best wishes to you, too.
**[09:41] ---**
Oh, yeah... Thanks.
**[09:47] ---**
Lucky you, having
Miss Misaka fix your apron.
**[09:51] ---**
Look, Uiharu. That's the genuine article.
**[09:55] ---**
Y-You're right...
**[10:04] ---**
Say, are you getting hungry?
**[10:06] ---**
#19 Midsummer Festival
**[10:20] ---**
I don't ever want to leave!
**[10:22] ---**
I want to live here even more now!
**[10:24] ---**
I'm going on ahead, okay?
**[10:26] ---**
Oh, okay.
**[10:32] ---**
Miss Saten, can't you get a piece?
**[10:34] ---**
"Midsummer Festival"
**[10:37] ---**
Well, allow me...
**[10:46] ---**
How could you do that to such a pretty cake?!
**[10:48] ---**
That's not something a person
**[10:50] ---**
who was eating sugarcrafts
earlier should be asking.
**[10:52] ---**
Can you really eat that much?
**[10:55] ---**
They say you have a second
stomach for desserts, right?
**[10:59] ---**
C-Can't move...
**[11:02] ---**
That's because you took so much.
**[11:04] ---**
B-But... it was all you can eat...
**[11:09] ---**
Geez, we can't let
the students see you like this.
**[11:13] ---**
Come on, get up, get up.
**[11:17] ---**
If you're too rough with me,
it'll come back up!
**[11:26] ---**
Big Sister Mikoto!
**[11:32] ---**
Huh? You're from Asunaro Park.
What are you doing here?
**[11:41] ---**
I invited them.
**[11:43] ---**
Hey...
**[11:45] ---**
We used beads to
make rings, and drew pictures!
**[11:49] ---**
You did? Good for you.
**[11:51] ---**
But, you know what?
The thing I'm looking forward to most...?
**[11:55] ---**
Mm-hmm, what are you looking forward to?
**[11:57] ---**
Seeing Big Sister Mikoto onstage!
**[12:02] ---**
--I'm looking forward to it.
**[12:04] ---**
--Yeah, I hope it starts soon.
--I'm looking forward to it.
**[12:06] ---**
W-W-Who told you a-a-about that...?
**[12:12] ---**
We're gonna cheer really
loud for you, so good luck!
**[12:18] ---**
You heard her. You're going to
meet the children's expectations.
**[12:22] ---**
Y-Yes...
**[12:25] ---**
Now, now, no running; it's dangerous.
**[12:30] ---**
I mean, I told you! No running in the dorms!
**[12:35] ---**
What's the big idea?
**[12:37] ---**
Putting pressure on me like that
**[12:38] ---**
is just going to throw me off, you know.
**[12:40] ---**
Miss Misaka!
**[12:41] ---**
Are you going to be
doing something onstage?
**[12:44] ---**
Huh? Oh, well...
**[12:46] ---**
Oh, yeah? Why didn't
you say anything to us?
**[12:50] ---**
Oh, I get it! It's a surprise!
**[12:52] ---**
Huh? Uh-uh, it's not like that...
**[12:56] ---**
We get it. Okay,
we won't ask you anything more.
**[12:59] ---**
Er, no...
**[13:00] ---**
Ah, no, no. Don't say another word.
**[13:03] ---**
That's right. It's a surprise,
after all! Ah, what could it be?
**[13:08] ---**
I'm so looking forward to it!
**[13:10] ---**
Uh...
**[13:12] ---**
Misaka! Misaka!
**[13:15] ---**
Have you seen Shirai around?
**[13:17] ---**
Kuroko? You took
her away earlier, didn't you?
**[13:21] ---**
She's not in the kitchen.
She must have run away on me.
**[13:26] ---**
There's a freakishly
big eater among the friends
**[13:28] ---**
who were invited today, and we
have our hands full just keeping up.
**[13:32] ---**
It's a real hassle.
**[13:34] ---**
Darn that Kuroko...
**[13:36] ---**
Oh, yeah. I'm looking forward
to seeing you onstage today.
**[13:43] ---**
I really am looking forward to it now.
**[13:45] ---**
Yes, indeed.
**[13:49] ---**
Ah, that was delicious!
**[13:52] ---**
Where should we go next?
**[13:53] ---**
That should be obvious.
**[13:55] ---**
Where? Where?
**[13:57] ---**
--Well, if we keep going straight...
**[13:57] ---**
--S-Sorry...
--Well, if we keep going straight...
**[14:00] ---**
I need to go to the restroom.
You can go on without me.
**[14:06] ---**
Say, Misaka has been acting
a little odd for a while, hasn't she?
**[14:11] ---**
Has she?
**[14:12] ---**
Is there anyone else who would like to bid?
**[14:15] ---**
Miss Saten, they're
doing something out there.
**[14:19] ---**
There is no one else, then?
All right, that will be the final bid.
**[14:23] ---**
Ah, an auction.
**[14:25] ---**
Oh, those are some rare, brand-name items.
**[14:28] ---**
It said you can't even get them on the market
**[14:31] ---**
in a magazine I read recently.
**[14:33] ---**
Leave it to Tokiwadai.
**[14:42] ---**
Miss Konori!
**[14:45] ---**
Y-You two...
**[14:47] ---**
I wouldn't have expected
you to be into those.
**[14:52] ---**
I-I'm not normally interested
in things like this!
**[14:56] ---**
This is for charity.
**[14:57] ---**
All the proceeds are being
donated to the Child Error children.
**[15:01] ---**
As a member of Judgment,
I cannot very well not participate.
**[15:05] ---**
Miss Konori, you sound
like you're making excuses.
**[15:08] ---**
H-Hey, I know!
**[15:09] ---**
What if you two bid on something, too?
**[15:11] ---**
No, we couldn't. We don't
have a lot of spending money.
**[15:19] ---**
--That's all right.
**[15:19] ---**
--All right,
--That's all right.
**[15:20] ---**
our next item is...
**[15:22] ---**
...a Kirugumar stationery set.
We will start at ¥100.
**[15:26] ---**
¥200!
**[15:27] ---**
¥300!
**[15:28] ---**
--¥400
--There, you see?
**[15:29] ---**
I guess so. Okay...
**[15:31] ---**
¥10,000!
**[15:40] ---**
Miss Shirai, Miss Tsuchimikado
was looking for you.
**[15:44] ---**
Of all the things to run
away from the kitchen for,
**[15:47] ---**
you spent ¥10,000
on just a stationery set?
**[15:49] ---**
Oh, no, it is not "just" a stationery set.
**[15:53] ---**
For you see, Sissy is the
one who submitted these items.
**[15:58] ---**
This pencil board, and these notebooks are,
if you will, a part of Sissy.
**[16:04] ---**
Ah! Kuroko, you lucky devil!
**[16:07] ---**
Those are Miss Misaka's, huh? No wonder...
**[16:10] ---**
Speaking of which, where is
Miss Misaka? Isn't she with you?
**[16:13] ---**
Oh, well you see...
**[16:15] ---**
Good day, everyone.
**[16:19] ---**
K-Kongo Mitsuko!
What is the deal with that outfit?!
**[16:23] ---**
Oh my, what a clueless dunderhead.
**[16:26] ---**
In order to coach you
on what it is to be a maid,
**[16:30] ---**
I have shown up wearing this attire.
**[16:33] ---**
Ah, such generosity of spirit!
**[16:35] ---**
Such benevolence!
**[16:37] ---**
Come now, pay *very* close attention, please.
**[16:40] ---**
This maid uniform is authentically
English, in the Japanese style,
**[16:44] ---**
and was made expressly for this very day.
**[16:47] ---**
Authentically English, in the Japanese style?
**[16:49] ---**
Now then, Miss Shirai, would you say
"Welcome home, my lady" for me?
**[16:54] ---**
W-Why would I do something like that?!
**[16:57] ---**
You cannot do it? My word,
even in that outfit, this is pointless.
**[17:01] ---**
I beg your pardon,
**[17:02] ---**
but I know so very little about good manners.
**[17:05] ---**
I wonder if you would be so
kind as to offer me a demonstration?
**[17:08] ---**
Very well, I, the Maid
of Maids, Kongo Mitsuko,
**[17:11] ---**
shall impart this instruction to you.
Please, watch me very closely.
**[17:16] ---**
Round and round and round...
**[17:18] ---**
Welcome home, my lady.
**[17:21] ---**
Hmm. I am thirsty,
so please bring drinks for everyone.
**[17:26] ---**
As you wish, my lady.
**[17:30] ---**
Thank goodness she is so easily handled.
**[17:33] ---**
H-Hello.
**[17:35] ---**
How have you been?
**[17:36] ---**
It must be miserable for you, too,
always having her eye on you.
**[17:42] ---**
She isn't a bad person.
In fact, just today...
**[17:45] ---**
Kongo was the one who invited
us to come to the midsummer festival.
**[17:49] ---**
She has been very much
looking forward to this, and insisted.
**[17:51] ---**
Huh? You mean,
you don't all live here in the dorms?
**[17:55] ---**
No. There are two girls'
dorms at Tokiwadai Middle School.
**[17:59] ---**
In addition to this one, there is one
inside the Garden of Learning.
**[18:02] ---**
Myself, Wannai, and Kongo all live there.
**[18:05] ---**
I-Inside that beautiful town?!
**[18:08] ---**
That paradise, where you can't throw a stone
**[18:10] ---**
without hitting a lady?!
**[18:14] ---**
By the way, where is Miss Misaka?
**[18:16] ---**
That's right, we haven't seen her since
she said she needed the restroom.
**[18:19] ---**
Oh, I wanted to tell her
I was looking forward
**[18:23] ---**
to seeing her onstage today.
**[18:24] ---**
What is Miss Misaka going to do onstage?
**[18:27] ---**
It's a surprise! A surprise!
**[18:29] ---**
Ooh, what could it be?
**[18:32] ---**
That is right! This is no time
for me to be hanging around here!
**[18:35] ---**
I have to get a good seat,
**[18:37] ---**
so I can get Sissy's performance on camera!
**[18:42] ---**
Geez, everyone, stop
anticipating all that much.
**[18:46] ---**
Oh no, I'm breaking out in a sweat.
**[18:49] ---**
Is this the jitters?
**[18:52] ---**
Oh, no, not me, of all
people. It couldn't be.
**[19:01] ---**
I wonder what Miss Misaka
is going to do for her surprise.
**[19:05] ---**
I can't wait to see.
**[19:06] ---**
Whoa, my heart is starting to thump.
**[19:12] ---**
Uiharu, what good will
it do for *you* to be nervous?
**[19:15] ---**
Miss Shirai, do you
know what Miss Misaka is doing?
**[19:18] ---**
Of course I do.
**[19:20] ---**
However, you will have to wait until...
**[19:23] ---**
...af... ter... ward... to... see...
**[19:34] ---**
I can't even walk...
**[19:41] ---**
Oh, no. My heart is starting to pound.
**[19:45] ---**
Ah, geez, keep it together!
**[19:48] ---**
Um...
**[19:57] ---**
Sorry to bother you while you're busy.
**[19:59] ---**
As it happens, I got separated
from the person I came with.
**[20:02] ---**
She's a little girl, this tall,
wearing a white nun's habit--
**[20:06] ---**
--t're you doing here...?
**[20:09] ---**
I said what are you doing here?!
**[20:11] ---**
I-I'm sorry! Oh, but I'm
not doing anything wrong!
**[20:16] ---**
See? I even have an invitation.
**[20:18] ---**
Are you here to make fun of my recital?!
**[20:21] ---**
Did you come to laugh at my strange dress?!
**[20:22] ---**
No, not at all. I think
it looks really pretty--
**[20:27] ---**
You idiot!
**[20:31] ---**
What's his problem? He has to
pick now, when I'm most on edge, to...
**[20:37] ---**
Huh?
**[20:58] ---**
Amazing! She's doing a violin solo!
**[21:01] ---**
Whoo, Miss Misaka, I'm so impressed!
**[21:07] ---**
Good grief, they have no
idea what I feel like.
**[21:12] ---**
But still...
**[21:32] ---**
But still,
**[21:34] ---**
that guy is good for
something once in a while, huh?
**[22:46] ---**
*Is the destiny my
finger has drawn a bead on*
**[22:52] ---**
*one of despair, or one of hope?*
**[22:57] ---**
*Just give me the courage not to yield*
**[23:03] ---**
*to the sorrows I pick up*
**[23:06] ---**
*among the fluctuations*
**[23:08] ---**
*I believe strength is there*
**[23:14] ---**
*to protect what is important*
**[23:20] ---**
*Saving our future together,*
**[23:26] ---**
*let's open the door to tomorrow and take off*
**[23:31] ---**
*Shooting through to the ends*
**[23:37] ---**
*of a certain world with real force*
**[23:43] ---**
*Release your light!*
**[24:00] ---**
Huh? Do you feel it swaying again?
Moving back, moving forth...
**[24:01] ---**
#20 Poltergeist
**[24:03] ---**
Oh, no, Sissy, I would never waver
from the charms of your heart--
**[24:07] ---**
I'm talking about earthquakes!
