**[00:05] ---**
I took your uniform to the cleaners.
**[00:08] ---**
I also picked up your winter uniform
that was left there while I was at it.
**[00:12] ---**
I am so sorry, Sissy,
**[00:14] ---**
for putting you to any trouble.
**[00:17] ---**
It's no trouble.
**[00:18] ---**
You stopped a traffic accident
before it happened, right?
**[00:21] ---**
That's quite the feat.
**[00:22] ---**
Yes, well...
**[00:24] ---**
What is it?
**[00:26] ---**
Did something happen?
**[00:27] ---**
Well, um, actually...
**[00:28] ---**
"Report"
**[00:32] ---**
Oh, yeah? A precognitive app?
**[00:35] ---**
Yes. All of the specifics are
yet to be understood, though.
**[00:39] ---**
So starting tomorrow,
things are likely to get a bit more hectic.
**[00:42] ---**
Got it.
**[00:43] ---**
Is there anything I can do to help?
**[00:46] ---**
Oh, Sissy! Just knowing you
feel that way is more than enough!
**[00:51] ---**
But whatever you do,
**[00:52] ---**
please do not stick your
nose in without asking first.
**[00:55] ---**
You are a civilian, after all.
**[00:58] ---**
Yeah, I know.
**[00:59] ---**
Incidentally, Sissy,
**[01:02] ---**
um, are you planning to use those cards
again tonight when you go to sleep?
**[01:06] ---**
Cards? You mean Indian Poker?
No, I've had enough of that for a while.
**[01:11] ---**
I had a rough time of it today.
**[01:13] ---**
I-Is that right?
**[01:15] ---**
Well then yes, of course.
I think that is for the best.
**[01:18] ---**
What, did you have something happen
to you with those cards, too?
**[01:22] ---**
Yes, a little spot of trauma...
**[01:25] ---**
"9/28: Sunny"
**[01:28] ---**
"School District 7"
"Sakugawa Middle School"
**[01:30] ---**
Huh?
**[01:32] ---**
Didn't you say you had the day off today?
**[01:34] ---**
I was scheduled to, but remember
we found out about that app yesterday
**[01:39] ---**
that would display the time of accidents?
**[01:42] ---**
Well now I have to be on
patrol because of them.
**[01:45] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[01:47] ---**
Oh, it's from Miss Shirai.
**[01:49] ---**
Wow, is she rushing me!
I'm sorry, and after you invited me out, too.
**[01:54] ---**
Mm-hmm, I get it. Good luck.
**[01:56] ---**
Right. See you later.
**[01:58] ---**
Hello? Yes, I'm hurrying there.
**[02:01] ---**
I was hoping we could eat
together for the first time in so long.
**[02:31] ---**
"A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
**[03:45] ---**
"Musashino Milk"
**[03:53] ---**
Oh, there they are!
**[03:54] ---**
"Mackerel"
**[03:56] ---**
"Checkout"
"Your total: ¥1,088"
**[03:58] ---**
That will be ¥1088.
**[04:00] ---**
Okay, here's ¥1100, so--
**[04:01] ---**
Aah!
**[04:04] ---**
They don't have it here, either...
**[04:08] ---**
I am so sorry about that.
We just sold our last one, stockroom and all.
**[04:10] ---**
"Sold out"
"Canned mackerel"
**[04:13] ---**
All told, how is it that no matter where
I go today, they're sold out everywhere?
**[04:18] ---**
Oh, there was a newsmagazine
show on yesterday
**[04:21] ---**
that had a segment saying
they were good for your looks.
**[04:24] ---**
That's how I came to buy mine...
**[04:28] ---**
Wh-What are you doing?!
**[04:29] ---**
Give... me...
**[04:31] ---**
Huh?
**[04:32] ---**
Give me that mackerel!
**[04:34] ---**
Ladies!
**[04:55] ---**
So, um...
**[04:56] ---**
...how long are you going to follow me?
**[04:58] ---**
Until you hand over that mackerel, of course!
**[05:02] ---**
Huh?
**[05:04] ---**
Naturally, I don't mean I won't pay you!
**[05:07] ---**
I'll buy them for ten
times the regular price...
**[05:11] ---**
All I have is plastic.
**[05:14] ---**
O-Okay, how about you trade me
for this shockingly cute doll?
**[05:19] ---**
No, it's kind of creepy, actually.
**[05:22] ---**
Then how about this Dangerous Cracker,
**[05:23] ---**
which you can shoot at people
who irritate you to blow off steam?
**[05:26] ---**
A party popper? My walls are thin, so...
**[05:30] ---**
Man! What do I have to
trade you to get them?!
**[05:33] ---**
You still assume you're getting them?
Do you really like mackerel that much?
**[05:37] ---**
"L-Like" doesn't even come close.
**[05:41] ---**
If I go too long without ingesting them,
I get awful palpitations,
**[05:44] ---**
my extremities start shaking,
and I hallucinate...
**[05:46] ---**
If that's true,
maybe you shouldn't be eating them.
**[05:49] ---**
You know, I've been eating them every day,
contributing to the canned mackerel industry,
**[05:54] ---**
but then one TV feature comes along,
**[05:55] ---**
and all the dingbats rush out and
buy up them all up! Well I don't accept it!
**[05:59] ---**
So give me yours!
**[06:00] ---**
Huh?
**[06:01] ---**
That's outrageous.
**[06:03] ---**
Oh, all right. I don't want
you hounding me anymore.
**[06:08] ---**
I'll give you one of my two cans.
**[06:11] ---**
You mean it?!
**[06:12] ---**
Wow, you seemed like such
a gullible pushover,
**[06:14] ---**
I was sure that if I kept
leaning on you, you'd cave,
**[06:16] ---**
and I was right on the money!
**[06:21] ---**
Okay, let's get right to it.
**[06:22] ---**
Huh? You're going to eat them *here*?
**[06:26] ---**
What are you... What are you...?!
**[06:28] ---**
I used one with too much
firepower by mistake!
**[06:38] ---**
Ah! W-Wait!
**[06:40] ---**
That was, all told,
just an unfortunate accident!
**[06:43] ---**
I need what's left for my own meal plan.
**[06:47] ---**
And I have no pity to offer
people who waste food.
**[06:54] ---**
Hmph, Japanese people so cold.
**[06:57] ---**
I just wanted taste of
my homeland to ease homesickness.
**[07:02] ---**
At the very least...
**[07:05] ---**
You know, ignoring me really hurts!
**[07:07] ---**
Oh, all right! Come on over to
my place for dinner. Will that do?
**[07:12] ---**
--Okay! Okay! Japan people
am so nice! Yay! Yay!
**[07:15] ---**
--What country are you supposed to be from?
--Okay! Okay! Japan people am so nice! Yay! Yay!
**[07:20] ---**
C--
**[07:21] ---**
Curry?!
**[07:23] ---**
Why are you putting
the prize mackerel in curry?!
**[07:26] ---**
Huh?
**[07:26] ---**
Curry is too bold a flavor,
**[07:28] ---**
and all the other ingredients
just end up tasting like curry!
**[07:31] ---**
All the flavor and zest
of the mackerel gets ruined!
**[07:33] ---**
There's no way this is gonna taste--
**[07:35] ---**
This is so good!
**[07:38] ---**
The spicy curry pairs nicely
with the rich taste of the mackerel...
**[07:41] ---**
...and far from canceling it out,
the synergy draws out both flavors,
**[07:44] ---**
which are dancing briskly atop my tongue!
**[07:47] ---**
Please don't talk while you're eating.
**[07:51] ---**
Mmm, *deilig*!
**[07:52] ---**
"Die lee"?
**[07:53] ---**
It means "delicious."
**[07:56] ---**
Oh, it's a foreign word?
Well, anyhow, I'm glad you like it...
**[08:01] ---**
Mohr pweeze.
**[08:03] ---**
No restraint at all, huh?
**[08:06] ---**
Wow, you really are something else.
**[08:09] ---**
Next time we meet, it'll be my treat.
**[08:13] ---**
Mackerel in miso,
or mackerel in soy sauce, or something.
**[08:15] ---**
Always with the mackerel.
**[08:17] ---**
Oh, that reminds me. Are you on FUKIDASHI?
**[08:20] ---**
You mean the messaging app?
Yeah, I do it some with my friends...
**[08:23] ---**
Here's my ID. Take it down.
**[08:26] ---**
Huh? Oh, okay.
**[08:30] ---**
And, with that taken care of...
**[08:32] ---**
*Ha det bra*!
**[08:34] ---**
"Haday"? "Bra"? What does that one mean?
**[08:37] ---**
It means goodbye!
**[08:40] ---**
See you!
**[08:43] ---**
She played it her way, right up to the end.
**[08:47] ---**
Well, even so, I guess that was kind of fun.
**[08:55] ---**
Oh...
**[08:57] ---**
So, the app I told you about
**[09:00] ---**
has led to you being able
to prevent accidents from happening?
**[09:03] ---**
Yes. I can't tell you all the details,
but at any rate, it has.
**[09:08] ---**
Amazing. That's my Uiharu for you.
**[09:10] ---**
It's more Miss Shirai's doing than mine.
But anyway, thank you very much.
**[09:16] ---**
It's fine, it's fine.
As far as thanking me goes,
**[09:19] ---**
you already did,
with those adorable little pugs.
**[09:22] ---**
I-I didn't think you flipped my skirt today!
When did you manage that?!
**[09:27] ---**
Hmm-hmm, you still have
much to learn, Kazari.
**[09:30] ---**
F-Fine, have it your way!
**[09:33] ---**
Good luck with your Judgment work!
**[09:42] ---**
"Everywhere is stocked up
to the gills with mackerel"
**[09:43] ---**
That girl from yesterday...
**[09:46] ---**
"It was just a passing craze, huh?"
**[09:47] ---**
"It was just a passing craze, huh?"
"Read"
**[09:50] ---**
"All told, we're the only ones
with a true love for mackerel"
**[09:54] ---**
And before I knew it, we became friends.
**[10:04] ---**
"I messed up a little and
got pounded on by my associate"
"Gave me a huge lump"
**[10:08] ---**
"You mean the one who's a major jock?"
**[10:09] ---**
"Nothing as easygoing as that"
**[10:11] ---**
"The one I always goof around
with is really nice. Cute, too."
**[10:14] ---**
"Mine is pretty, too,
but she's a power-mad gorilla"
**[10:20] ---**
"Do you know about Indian Poker?"
**[10:20] ---**
"My colleague has done it"
**[10:21] ---**
"My colleague has done it"
**[10:22] ---**
"I did it and built a giant
house of cards using two decks"
**[10:24] ---**
"I did it and built a giant
house of cards using two decks"
**[10:24] ---**
"...All told, is there any point to that?"
**[10:27] ---**
"After it collapsed, it was a
huge pain getting the two decks sorted."
**[10:29] ---**
For heaven's sake, what was she thinking?
**[10:38] ---**
Hi there.
**[10:39] ---**
Any good cards in?
**[10:42] ---**
One that *you* would like?
**[10:44] ---**
This one is from an
American cracker champion.
**[10:47] ---**
This one is from a
coin-stacking record holder.
**[10:49] ---**
And this one is a card from
a super-skillful chopstick handler.
**[10:54] ---**
Oh, yeah? Chopstick handling...
***SIGN*** "I just got the Indian Poker card of an expert who can pick up anything with chopsticks, no matter how small!"
**[11:04] ---**
Indian Poker?
**[11:06] ---**
Yeah.
**[11:06] ---**
Cards that can pass along
a person's experiences or skill to another.
**[11:12] ---**
So what about them?
**[11:14] ---**
There's been a movement
around Academy City lately
**[11:17] ---**
where scientists have been using these cards
**[11:20] ---**
to leave behind their essence
as a means of insurance.
**[11:25] ---**
Oh, yeah?
**[11:27] ---**
Of course, it's a gamble whether or not
the data you want gets recorded.
**[11:31] ---**
But word is that there are quite
a few of them who are attempting it.
**[11:36] ---**
There's much about what's inside
scientists' heads that can't be codified.
**[11:40] ---**
I get you. You're talking about that...
**[11:43] ---**
Yes.
**[11:45] ---**
The nanoparticle object
interference adsorption manipulator,
**[11:50] ---**
better known as the tweezers.
**[11:52] ---**
A leak of that knowledge
in card form has been spotted.
**[11:56] ---**
Is your information about this reliable?
**[11:59] ---**
Who knows? But if there's any truth
at all to it, we have to investigate.
**[12:04] ---**
I'll let you handle the "how," so get on it.
**[12:13] ---**
Extract all conversations presumed
to be related to Indian Poker and tweezers
**[12:19] ---**
from security ranks A through D.
**[12:22] ---**
Thirteen items returned.
**[12:25] ---**
Thirteen, huh?
**[12:27] ---**
Some of them seem to be
just idle conversation,
***SIGN*** "I just got the Indian Poker card of an expert who can pick up anything with chopsticks, no matter how small!"
**[12:30] ---**
but even if there's a one-in-a-thousand,
or one-in-a-billion chance,
**[12:34] ---**
"#19: Strange Coincidence"
**[12:35] ---**
I'll have to snatch them up to find out.
**[12:46] ---**
This one? No, this one would be more...
**[12:57] ---**
Those people...
**[12:59] ---**
...are no amateurs.
They're not any big deal, though.
**[13:04] ---**
Are they from an opposing
organization? Or maybe...
**[13:07] ---**
F Team. Yes,
**[13:09] ---**
we'll reach the source soon.
**[13:17] ---**
I can't wait for tonight.
Oh, right, I should tell Uiharu, too.
**[13:37] ---**
Aw, what are they doing?
I'm not one to work for free...
**[13:43] ---**
But, I *do* owe her for dinner, and all.
**[13:47] ---**
Ah, Hamazura? Bring the car.
**[13:54] ---**
Indian Poker. Is this it?
**[13:57] ---**
Get rid of the cell phone.
**[13:59] ---**
Right. What do we do with the girl?
**[14:02] ---**
They said she might have more information,
**[14:04] ---**
so we're to bring her with us.
**[14:05] ---**
Wow, torture?
**[14:07] ---**
Aw, man...
**[14:08] ---**
That's right. You're new,
so you wouldn't know.
**[14:10] ---**
--Huh?
--There's supposedly someone
above us who has the ability
**[14:15] ---**
to make a person spill all
their secrets with no trouble at all.
**[14:17] ---**
If you or I think anything out of line,
she'll know it immediately.
**[14:22] ---**
You should be careful how you complain.
**[14:24] ---**
Huh? I-I'm not hiding anything.
**[14:29] ---**
Come on, get the lead out!
**[14:32] ---**
All told, we got split up
because you're too slow!
**[14:36] ---**
It wasn't even five minutes after you
called me that I got the car and arrived.
**[14:40] ---**
If you're going to be a capable man,
you have to do it in under a minute!
**[14:43] ---**
Yeah, yeah.
**[14:44] ---**
Ah, we're just about caught up to them.
**[14:47] ---**
Now just turn left...
**[14:49] ---**
Hey! They're down there!
What are you doing, Hamazura?!
**[14:52] ---**
I'm just driving where you tell me to!
**[14:54] ---**
Aw, man, what's the use?
**[14:57] ---**
Watch it! Watch it! Wah!
**[15:02] ---**
Grab my legs to prop me up.
**[15:03] ---**
Also, don't jerk the wheel;
it'll throw my aim off.
**[15:06] ---**
Who are you, the king?!
**[15:13] ---**
Wind speed 2 from ahead;
range roughly 80; I'm not aiming for the car...
**[15:27] ---**
What was that?! What happened?!
**[15:29] ---**
The rubble is blocking the road!
**[15:32] ---**
Another one?!
**[15:34] ---**
The back, too!
**[15:35] ---**
Yes! Bullseye! Leave it to me!
**[15:39] ---**
--Oh, Hamazura, you can go now.
--I'm the leader of Skill Out,
so how did I end up like this?
**[15:43] ---**
Oh, I got it.
**[15:44] ---**
I must be dreaming. Though if I'm dreaming,
**[15:46] ---**
--I'd rather be surrounded by bunny girls,
getting hot and heavy...
**[15:48] ---**
--Hamazura, you're gross.
--I'd rather be surrounded by bunny girls,
getting hot and heavy...
**[15:54] ---**
How is it coming along?
**[15:56] ---**
The prototype is a no-go.
**[15:58] ---**
We'll have to make do
with a video for the presentation.
**[16:00] ---**
And last time, too, right? Everything okay?
**[16:03] ---**
Oh, we could be in trouble pretty soon.
**[16:06] ---**
What's wrong?
**[16:07] ---**
Just now, for a second,
there was something...
**[16:09] ---**
All this exhaustion must be
playing tricks on my eyes.
**[16:16] ---**
Delete all the ambient sounds...
**[16:23] ---**
In here, huh?
**[16:28] ---**
It's good and airtight, all right.
Cracking it will be difficult.
**[16:34] ---**
Ignoring the alarms and
overpowering the security would be easy,
**[16:38] ---**
but I'd like to not leave behind
any trace that I'm after the tweezers.
**[16:44] ---**
This is an unused Indian Poker card
with nothing written to it.
**[16:56] ---**
Skimming the vault's card data.
**[17:01] ---**
Not airtight enough.
**[17:04] ---**
I guess they didn't count on an esper
**[17:06] ---**
with the ability to duplicate scent
components to come sneaking in.
**[17:10] ---**
What is it?
**[17:11] ---**
Stuffed animals...
The stuffed animals exploded...!
**[17:14] ---**
Stuffed animals?
**[17:15] ---**
We're surrounded by smoke...
Can't determine our status...
**[17:19] ---**
Requesting you send backup!
**[17:24] ---**
F Team is in charge of that
unsubstantiated Indian Poker business.
**[17:29] ---**
If someone's striking back at them,
**[17:31] ---**
we must have hit an
unexpectedly serious jackpot.
**[17:35] ---**
No choice but to send that woman in.
**[17:39] ---**
I won't flip your skirt anymore...
**[17:42] ---**
Hey, wake up. Hey!
**[17:49] ---**
Huh? Where am I?! Why am I handcuffed?!
**[17:53] ---**
I'll burn those handcuffs off of you.
Lie down on your stomach.
**[17:56] ---**
Move and you'll lose your
wrists, so hold still.

Miss Yumiya!
**[18:11] ---**
Miss Yumiya!
**[18:14] ---**
Y-Y-Yes?!
**[18:15] ---**
We would like to go venture outside
of the Garden of Learning now.
**[18:22] ---**
Would you like to come with us?
**[18:26] ---**
Um...
**[18:27] ---**
Y-Y-You mean me?
**[18:30] ---**
--Yes.
--Yes.
**[18:33] ---**
G-G-Gladly...
**[18:38] ---**
I-I-I'm sorry. Excuse me a moment.
**[18:42] ---**
Ah, Mr. Yobou... Yes... Huh? Right now?
**[18:46] ---**
I, um... was going out with
some friends at school, and... No...
**[18:50] ---**
Yes... Yes... Yes, indeed.
**[18:55] ---**
Um...
**[18:56] ---**
I am terribly sorry about this,
but something just came up.
**[19:00] ---**
Well, that's too bad.
**[19:02] ---**
All right, some other time, then.
**[19:18] ---**
Judging by the traces on the battlefield,
there are two in the quarry.
**[19:21] ---**
One of them is the target that was taken,
so there's one attacker.
**[19:26] ---**
Loafers and high heels. They're both female.
**[19:30] ---**
Going by their strides,
one is 150cm tall, the other one 153. Also,
**[19:35] ---**
from what I see of the
communications log and debris,
**[19:37] ---**
the weapons were bombs disguised as dolls.
**[19:44] ---**
For the first time in a year and a half,
I had classmates reach out to me...
**[19:51] ---**
I was breaking away from loneliness
to be one of the popular girls in class.
**[19:56] ---**
I was set to become the school's idol,
**[19:59] ---**
but now that my brilliant
future is crushed...
**[20:03] ---**
...at least...

...let this hunt be something I can enjoy.
**[20:11] ---**
Oh, I've lost my cell phone.
**[20:15] ---**
All told, you're lucky
that's all that happened to you.
**[20:19] ---**
Huh?
**[20:20] ---**
Those weren't a couple of
rowdy boys out for a bit of mischief.
**[20:24] ---**
Any idea why they might have been after you?
**[20:26] ---**
N-No, nothing like that!
**[20:28] ---**
But shouldn't we contact Antiskill?!
**[20:30] ---**
Yeah, I already took care of that.
**[20:33] ---**
Huh? You did?
**[20:34] ---**
Sure did.
**[20:36] ---**
Aw, that card I just bought is gone, too.
**[20:40] ---**
Kiss that goodbye.
**[20:43] ---**
Then again, it's only natural for you
to thank me for saving you, right?
**[20:47] ---**
R-Right.
**[20:49] ---**
And with that in mind,
**[20:50] ---**
let's go to the supermarket and buy us
a whole bunch of canned mackerel!
**[20:54] ---**
Mackerel again?
**[21:04] ---**
The blond Barbie still has on her...
**[21:08] ---**
...the scent of blood from the capture team.
**[21:11] ---**
A guide leading me to my quarry.
**[21:15] ---**
My, my,
**[21:16] ---**
I had to turn down an invitation
with my school friends because of you,
**[21:20] ---**
and don't you look chummy?
**[21:23] ---**
That really pisses me off.
**[21:26] ---**
My orders are to capture the brunette alive,
**[21:28] ---**
but I'm free to hunt the other one, aren't I?
**[21:36] ---**
What should I have you make for me?
Curry is, all told, a sure winner,
**[21:40] ---**
but as far as other dishes that are good
with mackerel, there's, let's see...

Empty the can of mackerel
into a pot, water and all.
**[23:30] ---**
Add grated ginger and anything else you like.
**[23:31] ---**
Add a reasonable amount of water.
Bring to a reasonable boil.
**[23:34] ---**
Dissolve in a reasonable
amount of roux. That's it!
**[23:36] ---**
For being just thrown
together, this is *yum-my*!
