[00:47] ---
    Another earthquake?
    There sure have been a lot of them lately--
[01:06] ---
    Who's there?!
[01:07] ---
    Would you assail me, knowing
    that I am Kongo Mitsuko of Tokiwadai...
[01:24] ---
    I heard there was another
    earthquake yesterday.
[01:27] ---
    How was it at your dorm?
[01:29] ---
    It was fine. My place didn't really shake.
[01:32] ---
    Hmm, that's strange, with you
    being in School District 7, too.
[01:36] ---
    Mr. Daigo,
[01:37] ---
    you called me by today...
[01:40] ---
    Ah, right, right.
[01:42] ---
    Come on in.
[01:46] ---
    We have a transfer student for second term.
[01:49] ---
    She is also going to be
    your roommate from now on.
[01:53] ---
    Sorry for the short notice,
[01:54] ---
    but as the Judgment officer for our school,
[01:57] ---
    we want you to help her out.
[02:01] ---
    Y-Yes, I'll take care of her!
[02:06] ---
    I'm Haru'ue Erii.
[02:22] ---

[03:41] ---
    A transfer student from School District 19?
[03:44] ---
    But isn't that unusual for this time of year?
[03:47] ---
    It is something that they usually
    do at the start of a new term, huh?
[03:52] ---
    And Saten, you sure do seem happy about it.
[03:56] ---
    Well of course I am.
    If she's Uiharu's roommate,
[03:59] ---
    it means she's up to be my new good friend.
[04:01] ---
    Miss Saten!
[04:06] ---
    Um, this is Miss Haru'ue Erii.
[04:09] ---
    And this is Miss Shirai Kuroko,
    from Tokiwadai Middle School,
[04:13] ---
    and her senior, Miss Misaka Mikoto.
[04:15] ---
    And this is Miss Saten Ruiko,
    who is in the same class that we are.
[04:19] ---
    It's a pleasure. And not
    that it's an issue...
[04:23] ---
    ...but how did your stuff end up like this?
[04:25] ---
    Um, well, when I went to the
    train station to pick up Miss Haru'ue,
[04:30] ---
    I received word that the movers had arrived.
[04:33] ---
    For that matter, the movers could
    have been more considerate, huh?
[04:37] ---
    In any case, we have to
    do something about this.
[04:39] ---
    I guess there is little choice, huh?
[04:44] ---
    Oh, I didn't think of that!
[04:48] ---
    That's amazing.
[04:50] ---
    I've never seen teleporting before.
[04:52] ---
    I would think not. There are
    not too many teleporters
[04:56] ---
    who have my level of power,
    even within Academy City.
[05:01] ---
    Okay, okay, come on,
    let's get all of this put away now.
[05:04] ---
    Right!
[05:13] ---
    That should about do it.
[05:16] ---
    All of you, thank you very much.
[05:19] ---
    No problem, no problem.
[05:21] ---
    Never mind that, we're
    done sooner than we expected,
[05:24] ---
    so how about we go have some fun?
[05:25] ---
    Seconded!
[05:26] ---
    You cannot second that.
[05:28] ---
    Have you forgotten? Uiharu,
    you and I have a joint conference.
[05:33] ---
    Joint...?
[05:34] ---
    Between Judgment and Antiskill.
[05:37] ---
    It supposedly has to do with
    the earthquakes we have had recently.
[05:42] ---
    A conference about earthquakes?
[05:44] ---
    That's right...
[05:46] ---
    Well, how about if she,
    Misaka, and I go together?
[05:49] ---
    That's no fair!
[05:51] ---
    They can meet up with us
    after they finish, can't they? Right?
[05:54] ---
    Oh, it's all right.
    Miss Saten notwithstanding,
[05:58] ---
    Miss Misaka is a very nice person.
[06:01] ---
    I'll be right over, too, once we finish.
[06:03] ---
    Listen to you.
[06:04] ---
    Miss Saten, please don't
    flip up Miss Haru'ue's skirt,
[06:08] ---
    not even as a joke, okay?
[06:10] ---
    Huh? Why would I do something like that?
[06:13] ---
    Huh? Well, I mean...
[06:18] ---
    Now then, where should we go?
[06:21] ---
    Miss Haru'ue, is there
    anywhere you'd like to go?
[06:23] ---
    I still don't know this
    school district too well.
[06:27] ---
    Oh, right.
[06:29] ---
    Then, I know!
[06:35] ---
    This spot is becoming
    a marker of new friendships.
[06:38] ---
    Now that you mention it,
[06:39] ---
    Saten, when I first met
    you guys, we came here, huh?
[06:42] ---
    Is it good?
[06:44] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[06:45] ---
    --You've got an awful mess around your mouth.
[06:46] ---
    --Too bad about Kuroko and Uiharu.
    --You've got an awful mess around your mouth.
[06:49] ---
    Why would Judgment and Antiskill be holding
    a joint conference about earthquakes?
[06:54] ---
    If it were a case, that would be one thing...
[06:56] ---
    Heh heh, I didn't say
    anything about it before,
[06:59] ---
    but the fact is, there's a hot
    rumor going around about this.
[07:00] ---
    "Antiskill School District 7 Office"
[07:03] ---
    There is one thing that is clear about
    this recent rash of earthquakes.
[07:07] ---
    Getting right to the point,
    these are not earthquakes.
[07:10] ---
    To be precise...
[07:12] ---
    Poltergeists?
[07:14] ---
    Yes! Poltergeists!
[07:16] ---
    But that's, you know, furniture and
    stuff moving around by itself.
[07:20] ---
    It says that P-waves and
    S-waves weren't observed.
[07:22] ---
    It's a paranormal phenomenon!
    A paranormal phenomenon!
[07:25] ---
    ...as some students will
    undoubtedly start carrying on about,
[07:28] ---
    so let me drive this home ahead of time--
[07:31] ---
    this is not a paranormal phenomenon.
[07:34] ---
    The cause of poltergeisting
[07:35] ---
    is simultaneous, multiple
    incidents of RSPK Syndrome.
[07:38] ---
    RSPK Syndrome?
[07:41] ---
    Multiple, simultaneous incidents?
[07:43] ---
    At this point,
[07:44] ---
    I will ask Miss Therestina, of the Multi
    Active Rescue team, to explain further.
[07:54] ---
    As you heard from that introduction,
[07:56] ---
    I am Therestina,
    from the Multi Active Rescue team.
[08:00] ---
    RSPK Syndrome refers
    to the state or phenomenon
[08:02] ---
    that occurs when an esper
    temporarily loses their autonomy,
[08:05] ---
    which causes their abilities
    to unconsciously run out of control.
[08:09] ---
    The phenomenon varies according to the esper,
[08:12] ---
    but when these phenomena
    occur simultaneously,
[08:14] ---
    the runaway abilities can
    merge with each other,
[08:17] ---
    and manifest as a
    uniform poltergeist phenomenon.
[08:22] ---
    Further, these poltergeist phenomena,
    when exhibited over a wide scale,
[08:26] ---
    produce situations to the observer that
    are indistinguishable from earthquakes.
[08:31] ---
    This is what these earthquakes
    have actually been.
[08:35] ---
    The cause of the multiple,
    simultaneous RSPK Syndrome incidents
[08:38] ---
    is still under investigation,
[08:40] ---
    but among a certain number of students,
[08:42] ---
    this phenomenon will
    be linked to occult nonsense...
[08:45] ---
    The source is a pulse
    from an alternate dimension!
[08:47] ---
    A special kind of plasma!
    Oh, and you know,
[08:50] ---
    the governing board has been conducting secret classified
    underground experiments, too.
[08:53] ---
    In any case...
[08:54] ---
    As a result, it is conceivable
    that mass hysteria breaks out,
[08:57] ---
    thereby increasing the number of casualties.
[09:00] ---
    The reason why we have
    asked Judgment to meet with us
[09:03] ---
    is to urge you to take measures
[09:05] ---
    so that students do not
    spread these rumors for the fun of it.
[09:10] ---
    They say that there's
    gonna be a big one coming soon.
[09:15] ---
    
    See?
[09:15] ---
    "The Destruction of Academy City!!"
     "X-Day is Near!"
[09:18] ---
    Come to think of it, Miss Haru'ue,
    when you were in District 19,
[09:21] ---
    there were several outbreaks
    of poltergeisting, right?
[09:23] ---
    What was that like?
[09:26] ---
    Hey,
[09:27] ---
    you can't just go making jokes
    about something like that, you know.
[09:29] ---
    If it really happens, it will be a big deal.
[09:35] ---
    That ended a lot sooner than I expected.
[09:38] ---
    It says that Antiskill has
    another meeting afterward.
[09:42] ---
    Miss Konori, is something the matter?
[09:45] ---
    I've never heard of multiple,
    simultaneous incidents of RSPK Syndrome.
[09:49] ---
    What's more, something
    just isn't sitting right
[09:52] ---
    about how this is being handled.
[09:54] ---
    That is what the specialists
    are going to be looking into, right?
[09:58] ---
    Right now, nothing is going
    to come of us thinking about it.
[10:02] ---
    Well, maybe that's true, but...
[10:03] ---
    Ah! Miss Saten! Where are you right now?
[10:11] ---
    Okay, Miss Haru'ue, what should we do next?
[10:15] ---
    Ah, how about that?
[10:17] ---
    Uiharu is in rare form.
[10:20] ---
    So are you, Sissy.
[10:21] ---
    Oh, no, these are...
[10:22] ---
    There's something familiar about those coins.
[10:29] ---
    Oh, Whack-a-mole?
[10:31] ---
    Y-Yes, but...
[10:33] ---
    I remember playing this.
[10:35] ---
    I've never seen this before.
[10:39] ---
    It's so cute how they pop up like that.
[10:43] ---
    Y-You don't say.
    Still, instead of just watching them,
[10:47] ---
    what if you hit them?
[10:49] ---
    Hit them?
[10:54] ---
    That's cruel.
[10:56] ---
    I-I guess so.
[10:57] ---
    R-Right! It's up to the person
    how they want to enjoy the game.
[11:01] ---
    One more time...
[11:03] ---
    M-Miss Haru'ue, four times
    in a row is a bit...
[11:05] ---
    H-Hey, why don't we all do that?
[11:09] ---
    That?
[11:11] ---
    Okay, here goes!
[11:12] ---
    Right!
[11:13] ---
    "Welcome: Erii"
[11:18] ---
    Let's see...
[11:20] ---
    Send...
[11:24] ---
    That does it.
[11:25] ---
    Here.
[11:29] ---
    How shall I put this?
[11:31] ---
    The girl is a curiosity.
[11:33] ---
    She is? She's cute, isn't she?
[11:35] ---
    She kind of reminds me
    of how Uiharu was a while ago.
[11:40] ---
    A while ago?
[11:41] ---
    Oh, when she first transferred in... Hmm?
[11:45] ---
    Miss Haru'ue?
[11:47] ---
    W-Watch out!
[11:49] ---
    A-Are you all right, Miss Haru'ue?!
[11:52] ---
    What happened?
[11:54] ---
    That's...
[11:56] ---
    You mean...
[11:57] ---
    The fireworks show poster?
[11:59] ---
    Oh, now that you
    mention it, isn't that tonight?
[12:02] ---
    Hey, why don't we all go?
[12:04] ---
    That is a great idea!
[12:06] ---
    --We can all wear yukatas!
[12:07] ---
    --How about we go?
    --We can all wear yukatas!
[12:11] ---
    #20 Poltergeist
[12:11] ---
    Mm-hmm!
[12:14] ---
    "Academy City Fireworks Show"
    "Students are allowed out until 21:00"
[12:15] ---
    This is my first time wearing a yukata.
[12:19] ---
    The same is true for me, too.
[12:21] ---
    Isn't it too long?
[12:23] ---
    I'll check right now.
[12:26] ---
    I get it, Miss Haru'ue.
[12:28] ---
    You use the sash to adjust the length.
[12:32] ---
    That sounds hard.
[12:34] ---
    L-Let's give it a try!
[12:36] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[12:38] ---
    Let's see...
[12:39] ---
    first, we pair up the front...
[12:43] ---
    Ah, what an adorable pendant.
[12:47] ---
    It's kind of... like a good luck charm.
[12:50] ---
    A good luck charm? How nice.
[12:54] ---
    Okay, let's hurry and get you dressed up.
[12:56] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[12:57] ---
    Let's see, "After you pair up the front,
[13:01] ---
    raise the yukata's collar
    up about 20 cm..." Like this?
[13:06] ---
    Thank you.
[13:08] ---
    Huh?
[13:09] ---
    For all the help you've given me.
    Miss Uiharu, you're a good person.
[13:14] ---
    Oh, well, I am a minor Judgment officer...
[13:19] ---
    Then again, lately,
    I've been sweeping up around town,
[13:21] ---
    looking for lost articles,
    and that sort of thing.
[13:25] ---
    Looking...?
[13:26] ---
    In any event,
    I plan to do whatever I can do,
[13:30] ---
    so you can count on me!
[13:34] ---
    So, you call me over out
    of the blue, and what do I find?
[13:38] ---
    M-Miss Saten, please help us!
[13:42] ---
    There!
[13:43] ---
    All done.
[13:45] ---
    Thank you.
[13:48] ---
    That's amazing, Miss Saten!
    You made it so neat, in no time flat!
[13:52] ---
    Yeah, yeah, we have to
    hurry, or we'll be late.
[13:56] ---
    If I'd known this,
[13:57] ---
    I would have asked
    you to begin with, Miss Saten.
[14:01] ---
    Still, Uiharu, you're doing great.
[14:05] ---
    It's my turn to help out this time.
[14:08] ---
    This time?
[14:09] ---
    You know how I had the hardest
    time passing the Judgment tests?
[14:14] ---
    And as such, I didn't have
    much confidence in other things, too?
[14:18] ---
    Yeah, looking at you back then, Uiharu,
[14:20] ---
    it seemed like you couldn't be left alone.
[14:23] ---
    And Miss Saten, you and the
    others always kept encouraging me,
[14:27] ---
    and were there for me when
    I needed help, weren't you?
[14:30] ---
    Oh, we were?
[14:32] ---
    Yes.
[14:34] ---
    And thanks to you,
    I was finally able to pass the tests.
[14:39] ---
    Which is why...
[14:41] ---
    I think it would be nice if
    I could help Miss Haru'ue now.
[14:47] ---
    I mean, you may want to
    turn to more than just myself.
[14:52] ---
    Mm-mm...
[14:53] ---
    I really am glad to have
    you for a roommate, Miss Uiharu.
[14:57] ---
    I do count on you.
[14:59] ---
    O-Okay...
[15:01] ---
    My goodness, all of a sudden,
    you're the standout girl.
[15:04] ---
    You've made Big Sister happy!
[15:05] ---
    Geez, my birthday comes before yours!
[15:09] ---
    Nevertheless...
[15:10] ---
    What do you mean? Geez...
[15:11] ---
    Come on, now, stop fidgeting.
    I'm not done dressing you yet.
[15:23] ---
    Is she gone?
[15:24] ---
    Let us go--
[15:34] ---
    That was close!
[15:35] ---
    We are safe for sure this time, right?
[15:40] ---
    --Escape successful!
[15:41] ---
    --Yes, it is!
    --Escape successful!
[15:44] ---
    For heaven's sake, our dorm is a drag.
[15:46] ---
    They don't even change
    the curfew for a fireworks show.
[15:49] ---
    Sissy, if you keep moving like that,
    your yukata will come undone.
[15:53] ---
    Okay, okay.
[15:55] ---
    I cannot believe, even under a yukata,
    you still wear those shorts.
[15:59] ---
    Who cares, really? No one is gonna see.
[16:02] ---
    Paying attention to the
    unseen is essential for a young lady.
[16:05] ---
    Come to think of it,
    isn't Miss Konori coming tonight?
[16:08] ---
    She said she was investigating
    these poltergeisting incidents.
[16:12] ---
    Something has been nagging at
    her ever since the conference ended.
[16:16] ---
    Hmm... Still, you have to
    admit, it's really weird.
[16:20] ---
    RSPK Syndrome kicking in,
    in coordinated order...
[16:25] ---
    This really does go on forever.
[16:28] ---
    And this is the kind of
    information scattered around the net...
[16:32] ---
    Wow! Misaka, you look fantastic!
[16:36] ---
    Miss Shirai, you look cute, too!
[16:38] ---
    Of course we do.
[16:40] ---
    Uiharu, you guys look cute, too.
[16:43] ---
    Th-Thank you.
[16:45] ---
    Ah! Night stands!
[16:48] ---
    You're right! There are a lot of them, huh?
[16:50] ---
    Mm, it smells good! I can't wait!
[16:54] ---
    --Me, either!
[16:54] ---
    --Sissy! You shouldn't run like that! Sheesh!
    --Me, either!
[16:58] ---
    Miss Haru'ue, let's go, too!
[17:00] ---
    Mm-hmm!
[17:29] ---
    For goodness' sake, Sissy...
[17:31] ---
    W-Where's the harm?
[17:33] ---
    It's a festival, after all.
    I'm just getting in the swing of it.
[17:35] ---
    Ugh, good grief...
[17:38] ---
    Huh? What are those trucks?
[17:41] ---
    MAR--the Multi
    Active Rescue team's trailers.
[17:45] ---
    They must be here as a
    countermeasure for all the poltergeisting.
[17:48] ---
    Poltergeist?! Then, the rumors are for real!
[17:51] ---
    It would be a real mess
[17:52] ---
    if there was a poltergeist incident here,
    with so many people around.
[17:56] ---
    I have to say, though,
[17:57] ---
    having to watch the fireworks
    under that kind of security
[18:00] ---
    is going to put a
    damper on the entertainment.
[18:03] ---
    Oh, in that case,
[18:05] ---
    I know just the place!
[18:12] ---
    This spot is a well-kept secret.
[18:15] ---
    Ah! Look, they are going up again!
[18:21] ---
    You can feel the "boom"
    echoing in your tummy, huh?
[18:24] ---
    Mm-hmm, it goes "boom," all right.
[18:33] ---
    They're so pretty.
[18:39] ---
    Maybe I should have gone, too.
[18:43] ---
    Something isn't sitting right,
    but looking any more isn't going to...
[18:50] ---
    AIM diffusion fields?
[18:56] ---
    Tamaya!
[18:59] ---
    Kagiya!
[19:01] ---
    Here come some more!
[19:02] ---
    Tamaya!!
[19:06] ---
    What's the matter?
[19:11] ---
    I was just remembering...
[19:14] ---
    Remembering what?
[19:17] ---
    You know what? Long ago, I had a friend,
[19:21] ---
    like you two are,
    Miss Uiharu and Miss Saten...
[19:27] ---
    Miss Haru'ue...?
[19:28] ---
    What's wrong?
[19:32] ---
    --What's the matter?
[19:33] ---
    --Miss Haru'ue!
    --What's the matter?
[19:35] ---
    Hold up!
[19:36] ---
    Huh? I wonder where they're going.
[19:40] ---
    I am sure they have taken the hint,
[19:42] ---
    and are allowing the two of us to be alone.
[19:44] ---
    Now, let us also take passionate flight,
    like those fireworks!
[19:47] ---
    Hey! It's too hot and muggy for this!
[19:49] ---
    Tonight, let our...
[19:51] ---
    Come on! Your cell phone is ringing!
[19:53] ---
    Huh? Who is it?
[19:57] ---
    What is it, Miss Konori, at this hour?
[19:59] ---
    Listen! Listen!
    It's about the poltergeist incidents!
[20:02] ---
    Doing research is fine and all,
    but how about taking a breather?
[20:07] ---
    These fireworks are so pretty.
[20:09] ---
    Just listen to me, will you?
[20:10] ---
    It's possible that the cause of the
    multiple, simultaneous RSPK Syndrome cases
[20:14] ---
    is due to artificially-induced
    AIM diffusion field tampering!
[20:18] ---
    AIM diffusion fields?
[20:22] ---
    In other words,
    this string of poltergeisting is not some kind of random accident!
[20:26] ---
    Where... Where are you...?
[20:29] ---
    Miss Haru'ue...?
[20:32] ---
    Where are you?
[20:33] ---
    Are you saying that someone
    is intentionally causing it?!
[20:41] ---
    Miss Shirai? Miss Shirai, are you there?!
[20:43] ---
    Is this...!?
[20:45] ---
    Can it be...
[20:46] ---
    ...poltergeisting?!
[20:50] ---
    Sissy!
[20:55] ---
    What about Saten and the others?!
[20:57] ---
    Uiharu!
[21:01] ---
    Uiharu!
[21:16] ---
    Saten, are you all right?!
[21:30] ---
    That was a close call, huh?
[21:34] ---
    Are you hurt?
[21:36] ---
    You're safe now.
[21:38] ---
    That lady is...!
[21:45] ---
    Miss Haru'ue... Miss Haru'ue!
[21:49] ---
    Miss Haru'ue, are you all right?
[21:52] ---
    Don't overexert yourself.
[21:54] ---
    Where...?
[21:58] ---
    Where... are you?
[22:02] ---
    Miss Haru'ue...?
[22:10] ---
    --How pretty!
[22:11] ---
    --Wow, awesome!
    --How pretty!
[22:16] ---
    It's collapsed over there!
[22:18] ---
    Some kind of accident?

    Right, Miss Haru'ue.
[24:04] ---
    Too far! Left! Left!
