**[00:23] ---**
So then, anyway...
**[00:24] ---**
Good morning!
**[00:25] ---**
Eh?
**[00:26] ---**
Huh?
**[00:27] ---**
Miss Misaka? Um...
that was awfully timely, huh?
**[00:31] ---**
Huh?
**[00:32] ---**
Timely? But I always
get here around this time.
**[00:35] ---**
No, I mean, after seeing
you in town earlier.
**[00:37] ---**
We saw you walking in the
opposite direction from the school.
**[00:42] ---**
Oh, there's no way you could
have seen that, is there?
**[00:45] ---**
I'm sure you must have just seen
someone you thought was me.
**[00:50] ---**
Clones?
**[00:51] ---**
What do you mean?
**[00:53] ---**
There's some kind
of story about a project
**[00:56] ---**
where they're trying
to make clones of Level 5s.
**[00:59] ---**
You haven't heard of it?
**[01:00] ---**
Nope, it's news to me.
**[01:01] ---**
But it sounds amazing, huh?
**[01:02] ---**
Geez, of all the stories...
**[01:03] ---**
Yeah, it does. You know what else I heard?
**[01:07] ---**
You know what?
**[01:08] ---**
I hear they're mass-producing
them as military weapons.
**[01:10] ---**
Yeah, and that they'll
soon be in common use.
**[01:13] ---**
Seriously?!
**[01:13] ---**
Seriously, seriously!
**[01:14] ---**
Nonsense.
**[01:18] ---**
Yeah, but there are only seven
Level 5s in Academy City, right?
**[01:22] ---**
I wonder whose clones they are.
**[01:25] ---**
Yeah.
**[01:25] ---**
This is nonsense.
**[01:26] ---**
Ah, you know what?
I heard who it was.
**[01:29] ---**
The Level 5 is
supposedly that "Railgun" girl.
**[01:49] ---**
*sister's noise, I keep on looking
(sorrow of your heart...)*
**[01:53] ---**
*for where your lost heart is
(I shoot it down...)*
**[01:56] ---**
*Nobody can ruin the feelings
we've built up together*
**[02:06] ---**
*The oft-repeated truth is still distant*
**[02:13] ---**
*while I am unable to sense your pain*
**[02:19] ---**
*If the dreams you
committed to me that day*
**[02:23] ---**
*end up tearing me apart,*
**[02:26] ---**
*don't ever let go of that hope*
**[02:29] ---**
*more precious than anything else*
**[02:34] ---**
*Though once closer to you than anyone else
(sister's noise...)*
**[02:38] ---**
*I cannot hear your voice
(I find it out...)*
**[02:41] ---**
*While the hands of time kept ticking away*
**[02:45] ---**
*I was finally able to find you*
**[02:48] ---**
*sister's noise, so I keep on looking
(sorrow of your heart...)*
**[02:51] ---**
*for where your lost heart is
(I shoot it down...)*
**[02:54] ---**
*I promise to preserve the shared
smiles we both felt*
**[03:00] ---**
*Nobody can ruin them now*
**[03:08] ---**
You...
**[03:11] ---**
...are the Original, huh?
**[03:14] ---**
Origi... nal...?
**[03:17] ---**
You must have at least
heard the rumors, right?
**[03:20] ---**
The rumors?
**[03:29] ---**
Hmph, of all things,
**[03:32] ---**
there are curiosity-seekers at
Nagatenjoki Academy, too, huh?
**[03:37] ---**
So, what? Do you know
anything about these rumors--
**[03:45] ---**
You are a middle-schooler.
**[03:47] ---**
I'm a high-schooler.
You will observe my seniority.
**[03:51] ---**
In brief,
**[03:52] ---**
mind your tone with me.
**[03:54] ---**
D-Do you have any
information about these rumors?
**[03:59] ---**
More than you do.
Their substance and objectives
**[04:03] ---**
seem to have changed
considerably since I was there.
**[04:09] ---**
Knowing would
just be painful for you.
**[04:12] ---**
There's nothing you can
do about it yourself, after all.
**[04:16] ---**
I asked you what you knew
about this! And I can't do anything?
**[04:21] ---**
Then does that mean
there's anything *you* can--
**[04:26] ---**
What is it that
you might be able to do?
**[04:29] ---**
I'm just a humble individual, myself.
**[04:31] ---**
Distributing those
Money Cards is part of the plan.
**[04:35] ---**
To eliminate
Academy City's blind spots.
**[04:38] ---**
By placing the Money Cards all over,
**[04:41] ---**
it directs people's attention
to the alleys and back streets
**[04:44] ---**
that the surveillance
cameras don't reach.
**[04:46] ---**
By doing so,
**[04:48] ---**
perhaps I can put a
stop to the "experiments"
**[04:51] ---**
that have to be
taking place there.
**[04:54] ---**
But... I was careless enough
to let myself be spotted
**[04:57] ---**
and then followed back here.
**[05:00] ---**
"Esper Mass-Production Project"
**[05:03] ---**
If they had seen this, it could
have created even more problems.
**[05:08] ---**
Sure enough, leaving anything
physical behind is bad.
**[05:13] ---**
I just took up office here
without asking anyone, either.
**[05:15] ---**
We should get out of here
before these men wake up.
**[05:20] ---**
J-Just a minute!
**[05:24] ---**
...Please.
**[05:26] ---**
What have you been
talking about all this time?
**[05:29] ---**
Just who exactly are you...?
**[05:35] ---**
Indeed... As long as
I'm destroying the evidence,
**[05:38] ---**
you think I should eliminate
the location and witnesses.
**[05:41] ---**
Whoa, I do not!
**[05:43] ---**
L-Let's just get these guys...
**[05:46] ---**
Not my concern.
**[05:47] ---**
Eh?!
**[05:52] ---**
What is it, what is it? Is it a fire?
**[05:55] ---**
Yeah, a small one. Doesn't look
like anyone was hurt, though.
**[06:02] ---**
Shoot! Why that violent girl...!
**[06:06] ---**
She popped me two good ones,
and said nothing I understood...
**[06:14] ---**
Why am I taking anything
she said seriously?
**[06:18] ---**
Aw, what a waste of time.
**[06:20] ---**
I think I'll head home,
take a shower, and get to bed.
**[06:27] ---**
It's nonsense.
**[06:30] ---**
That's what I thought,
every time I heard the rumor.
**[06:33] ---**
There's no way
there could be clones of me.
**[06:38] ---**
But...
**[06:40] ---**
And as such,
the model DNA information
**[06:43] ---**
is indispensable
to cloning technology...
**[06:48] ---**
It's true, I did
once offer my DNA map.
**[06:52] ---**
But that was a long time ago,
and it was for a different purpose.
**[06:56] ---**
I'm sure it was put to good use.
**[06:58] ---**
Besides, soon afterward,
that hospital closed down, and now...
**[07:11] ---**
If she's a Nagatenjoki student,
**[07:14] ---**
once I hack into
the student records...
**[07:19] ---**
Academy City's public telephone
net terminal security is Rank D.
**[07:24] ---**
The data terminals used by the
school faculty are Rank B.
**[07:28] ---**
But by using my ability...
**[07:35] ---**
There she is!
**[07:36] ---**
"Nunotaba Shinobu, high school
3rd-Year, age 17...
**[07:41] ---**
Has distinguished herself in
the field of biological psychiatry
**[07:44] ---**
from the time she was a little girl.
**[07:46] ---**
Spent time with Yamashita
University Hospital Network,
**[07:48] ---**
and Higuchi Pharmaceuticals..."
**[07:51] ---**
Yamashita University?!
That was the one...!
**[07:55] ---**
She was there?
You don't mean, she really was...
**[08:01] ---**
"...and Higuchi Pharmaceuticals,
in a term of research
**[08:05] ---**
at the 7th Research Center,
then re-enrolled in school."
**[08:09] ---**
This is where my DNA map is?
**[08:12] ---**
Knowing would
just be painful for you.
**[08:14] ---**
There's nothing you can
do about it yourself, after all.
**[08:19] ---**
If I ask that scorny-eyed
girl for answers again,
**[08:21] ---**
she may just keep
evading the question, but still...
**[08:25] ---**
All right! I'll go sneak
into the place right now!
**[08:28] ---**
Then again, going in this
uniform would be a bad idea.
**[08:35] ---**
This one, too, please.
**[08:38] ---**
All right. Let's see, that will
be ¥37,000. How are you paying?
**[08:43] ---**
Oh... cash, please.
**[08:47] ---**
Now then, I just need
to find a suitable place to...
**[08:55] ---**
Unfortunately,
all of our single rooms are taken.
**[08:58] ---**
Doubles, however...
**[08:59] ---**
All right, I'll take that, please.
**[09:05] ---**
I'm just going to use it as a
changing room, though. Oh, well.
**[09:13] ---**
Money Cards?
**[09:15] ---**
Yes, Money Cards!
**[09:17] ---**
Misaka helped me find them.
**[09:20] ---**
Now, they say Academy City
is a big place,
**[09:22] ---**
but I'll bet getting this many
in one day has to be a new record.
**[09:26] ---**
When you put them all together,
it adds up to a tidy sum.
**[09:29] ---**
Then, I wonder if I'm rich, too.
**[09:34] ---**
M-Miss Haru'ue, are those...?
**[09:37] ---**
I thought I would learn the
streets before the new term starts,
**[09:40] ---**
and collected these
while I was testing myself.
**[09:44] ---**
I'm home! I know it's late.
**[09:47] ---**
Sorry to ask you to do me this
favor out of the blue, Miss Saten.
**[09:51] ---**
Er, Miss Saten...?
**[09:55] ---**
I lost.
**[09:57] ---**
Um... I-I bought all sorts
of things, so let's have supper!
**[10:02] ---**
Supper!
**[10:03] ---**
"Strawberry Oden"
**[10:04] ---**
Mmm, that smells good.
**[10:06] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:10] ---**
Listen, Uiharu...
**[10:12] ---**
strawberry oden is fine and all,
**[10:14] ---**
but if you'd at least
gotten something cold...
**[10:18] ---**
Cold oden is no oden at all.
**[10:21] ---**
The hot summer is the
best time to have hot meals.
**[10:25] ---**
It's delicious!
**[10:27] ---**
You've broken her spirit.
**[10:34] ---**
These *onigiri* are really good!
**[10:36] ---**
Really?
**[10:36] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[10:37] ---**
Miss Haru'ue, you've been
learning how to cook lately, huh?
**[10:41] ---**
Oh, yeah?
**[10:43] ---**
I-I still have much to learn.
**[10:45] ---**
Still, the fish powder and stuff
in this *onigiri* are really tasty!
**[10:50] ---**
You know what? My secret is to
add ginger and oyster sauce.
**[10:54] ---**
It's very delicious.
**[10:57] ---**
Mm-hmm, it goes extremely
well with strawberry oden.
**[11:00] ---**
It complements the strawberries'
sweetness, doesn't it?
**[11:02] ---**
It sure does!
**[11:05] ---**
Now that I think about it,
I used up all the breakfast rice, too.
**[11:09] ---**
That's okay.
We'll just have bread tomorrow.
**[11:13] ---**
But still, it would be nice if
we had a little larger rice cooker.
**[11:17] ---**
You two *do* eat a lot of it, huh?
**[11:20] ---**
Y-You think so?
**[11:22] ---**
Oh, come to think of it, Miss Saten...
**[11:25] ---**
What did you mean by what
you said on the phone earlier?
**[11:29] ---**
Huh? About what?
**[11:31] ---**
About Miss Misaka. Something about
a mistaken identity, or something?
**[11:35] ---**
Oh, that.
**[11:36] ---**
It was nothing, it was nothing.
**[11:38] ---**
I just happened to see
someone who looked like her.
**[11:42] ---**
But then...
**[11:46] ---**
Oh, never mind.
**[11:48] ---**
They say there are three
look-alikes for everyone in the world.
**[11:52] ---**
Maybe I was so convinced
that it was Misaka
**[11:54] ---**
because she was
wearing a Tokiwadai uniform.
**[11:57] ---**
Now that you mention it,
**[11:59] ---**
Miss Misaka and Miss Shirai
are always wearing their uniforms.
**[12:02] ---**
Tokiwadai Middle School
prohibits anything but uniforms,
**[12:05] ---**
even outside of school.
**[12:07] ---**
Isn't that strict?
**[12:09] ---**
You might say so, but to
put it the other way around,
**[12:11] ---**
those uniforms attest
that they are young ladies.
**[12:14] ---**
I can't imagine Miss Misaka
in anything besides her uniform.
**[12:18] ---**
Oh, yeah?
**[12:19] ---**
Yeah, but still,
**[12:21] ---**
I'd like to see them in street
clothes once in a while, you know?
**[12:26] ---**
"Higuchi Pharmaceuticals"
"7th Research Center"
**[12:30] ---**
Now then...
**[12:32] ---**
Okay, here I go!
**[12:33] ---**
"#3 Project Radio Noise"
**[12:41] ---**
I must say, the head resident
sure was determined tonight.
**[12:50] ---**
Sissy...
**[12:52] ---**
You certainly are
late tonight, aren't you?
**[12:59] ---**
Sissy!!
**[13:08] ---**
Why, how improper of
me to do something like this.
**[13:13] ---**
But then... it really
has been a long time.
**[13:21] ---**
Sissy!!
**[13:25] ---**
W-What was that? I just
had an awful chill down my back...
**[13:31] ---**
O-Oh, well...
**[13:33] ---**
Transform!
**[13:35] ---**
Magical Powered Kanami--
**[13:37] ---**
H-Huh?
**[13:40] ---**
What's going on here?
**[13:42] ---**
That's strange.
I just barely bought this.
**[13:46] ---**
Tonight, I'm gonna inject a whole bunch of power!
**[13:46] ---**
Oh, that fixed it.
**[14:03] ---**
Gah! I lost again!
**[14:05] ---**
Okay, you get to make rounds.
**[14:08] ---**
Ugh, me again?
**[14:10] ---**
In a facility that has
such airtight security,
**[14:12] ---**
there's no need to
do rounds, is there?
**[14:14] ---**
Go on, stop your
griping and get to it.
**[14:17] ---**
Yeah, yeah.
**[14:21] ---**
Security cameras,
infrared sensors,
**[14:24] ---**
and electronic locks, huh?
**[14:26] ---**
Since all of their security
is electronic, I'll be fine.
**[14:30] ---**
Now, as long as I watch
out for the staff and guards...
**[14:34] ---**
Hmm? That's strange. There are
no departments like I'm looking for?
**[14:39] ---**
No, there is a section that has power,
**[14:41] ---**
but is disconnected from the network.
**[14:45] ---**
I was curious about there only
being cameras in the hallways,
**[14:49] ---**
but I guess they don't
want other departments
**[14:51] ---**
knowing about what
they're researching, huh?
**[14:54] ---**
All right, I think I'll
start by checking in there.
**[14:57] ---**
Who's there?!
**[15:00] ---**
I-I heard some kind of sound...
**[15:03] ---**
Is there somebody over there?!
**[15:05] ---**
Yikes!
**[15:07] ---**
What do I do?
**[15:09] ---**
Worst case, if I shock
him and knock him out,
**[15:11] ---**
I can get myself out of this,
**[15:13] ---**
but if possible, I don't want
to leave any trace that I was here.
**[15:17] ---**
Is there anything...
**[15:22] ---**
Oh...
**[15:24] ---**
A security robot, huh?
**[15:26] ---**
Yeah, sure. There's no way
anyone could be in here.
**[15:29] ---**
Anything out of the ordinary?
**[15:31] ---**
No abnormalities detected.
**[15:32] ---**
All right, all right, keep it up.
**[15:33] ---**
No, huh?
**[15:35] ---**
In that case, I think
I'll skip the rest of the patrol.
**[15:40] ---**
What?!
**[15:41] ---**
Th-The alarm?! What the hell?!
**[15:43] ---**
How come?!
**[15:44] ---**
The sensors shouldn't be picking
me up! Did I miss something?
**[15:48] ---**
For now, at least...
**[15:53] ---**
Whoa! W-What's the matter?!
**[15:55] ---**
H-Hey!
**[16:02] ---**
What do I do?
**[16:04] ---**
Give up on tonight
and get out of here? No...
**[16:07] ---**
It doesn't appear to
be me that they found,
**[16:10] ---**
and in all this confusion,
it could instead be my big chance.
**[16:13] ---**
All right... proceed!
**[16:17] ---**
Hey! What the hell is going on?!
**[16:20] ---**
Sorry, sorry!
**[16:21] ---**
I forgot we had visitors today.
**[16:22] ---**
What? It's too loud to hear!
**[16:24] ---**
Hurry up and turn it off!
**[16:29] ---**
At last, it stopped.
**[16:32] ---**
Who's there?!
**[16:40] ---**
Let's see... over here.
**[16:50] ---**
What are those?
**[16:54] ---**
Incubators? Big enough
for people to fit inside.
**[17:04] ---**
What do you want?
**[17:06] ---**
You aren't... lost, are you?
**[17:09] ---**
How exactly did you get in here?
**[17:12] ---**
Oh, never mind about her.
**[17:14] ---**
I got word that she was coming.
**[17:17] ---**
She's here to clear her
data for that frozen project.
**[17:21] ---**
The idiot watchman
forgot to give her a staff card.
**[17:24] ---**
While you're at it, escort
her to the secret base for me.
**[17:28] ---**
Oh, is *that* what all this was about?
**[17:32] ---**
Here, put this on.
**[17:36] ---**
There are traces of
a number of erased files...
**[17:39] ---**
...but I can restore those.
**[17:46] ---**
It can't be...
**[17:51] ---**
"The goal of this
project will be to resolve
**[17:54] ---**
the genetic sequence pattern
that gives rise to a Level 5,
**[17:57] ---**
allowing a Level 5
that is born by chance
**[17:59] ---**
to then be produced with
100-percent certainty. Further...
**[18:05] ---**
...for this project, it is decided
that... Railgun--Misaka Mikoto,
**[18:11] ---**
will be the model...
**[18:14] ---**
There's some kind
of story about a project
**[18:16] ---**
where they're trying to
make clones of Level 5s.
**[18:18] ---**
Oh, don't play dumb.
**[18:20] ---**
Misaka, you were walking in
front of Seventh Mist, weren't you?
**[18:25] ---**
Then there really is...
**[18:27] ---**
...a project...
**[18:29] ---**
...to clone me...
**[18:32] ---**
To create a Railgun,
we employ a fertilized egg,
**[18:36] ---**
using a cell extracted
from Railgun's hair follicle.
**[18:41] ---**
Prior to this,
**[18:43] ---**
we obtained the necessary
genetic sequence pattern sample,
**[18:47] ---**
successfully registering her DNA
map in Academy City's databank.
**[18:53] ---**
In order to shorten the
time required to secure a test
**[18:57] ---**
subject, it is necessary to curtail
the developmental process
**[19:01] ---**
of both the body
and the persona.
**[19:03] ---**
As for the former,
ZID-02, RIZ-13,
**[19:08] ---**
and HEL-03 is administered,
and in roughly fourteen days,
**[19:13] ---**
we successfully formed a subject
physically identical to Railgun.
**[19:17] ---**
As for the latter, this was dealt with
**[19:20] ---**
under the direction of external
staff member Nunotaba Shinobu,
**[19:24] ---**
using Testament to install
basic information within the brain.
**[19:28] ---**
With everything in readiness,
**[19:30] ---**
once the results
had been confirmed,
**[19:32] ---**
the project was set to
move on to the next phase,
**[19:35] ---**
that of the mass-production of Sisters...
**[19:38] ---**
This is what they were after from the start?!
**[19:42] ---**
Would you like to
offer your DNA map to us?
**[19:47] ---**
If only that...
**[19:49] ---**
If only that had
never happened... but...
**[19:55] ---**
However...
**[19:56] ---**
...at the final stage of the project,
**[19:58] ---**
as a result of the projections
calculated by Tree Diagram,
**[20:02] ---**
an unforeseen circumstance
became evident.
**[20:04] ---**
Tree Diagram?
**[20:06] ---**
You mean, Academy City's
greatest supercomputer,
**[20:09] ---**
hovering up there in orbit?
**[20:12] ---**
The Sisters' specs
**[20:14] ---**
were less than one percent
of the model Railgun's.
**[20:18] ---**
Their ratings fell at
average around Level 2,
**[20:22] ---**
and even the most powerful
individuals did not exceed Level 3.
**[20:26] ---**
They could only produce
deteriorated versions of me?
**[20:30] ---**
Even if they'd mass-produced
a lot of Level 2s...
**[20:33] ---**
Regardless of genetic manipulation
or acquired development,
**[20:36] ---**
it was impossible to produce
a Level 5 from the clones.
**[20:41] ---**
Thus, having received
Tree Diagram's computed results,
**[20:45] ---**
and to minimize the
losses incurred on this project,
**[20:49] ---**
the committee ordered
all of the research in progress
**[20:52] ---**
to be terminated at once.
**[20:55] ---**
The Railgun mass-production
project "Sisters" was halted,
**[20:58] ---**
"frozen in perpetuity."
**[20:58] ---**
and is frozen in perpetuity.
**[21:12] ---**
Oh...
**[21:14] ---**
Sure enough, there aren't
any clones of me, are there?
**[21:18] ---**
I'm sure word of this
cockamamie project leaked out,
**[21:23] ---**
and the rumor mill
took care of the rest.
**[21:26] ---**
Whew...
But still, it's a bit chilling.
**[21:29] ---**
Imagine, using my
DNA map from back then...
**[21:38] ---**
Well, I guess what's past is past.
**[21:44] ---**
Now, I think I'll head home.
**[21:47] ---**
I wonder if Kuroko managed
to trick the head resident for me.
**[22:03] ---**
Hey, how much longer is
this procedure going to take?
**[22:07] ---**
"Total deletion will require
another 42.28 seconds,"
**[22:11] ---**
reports Misaka, with the precise time.
**[22:29] ---**
*While looking up
into an unfamiliar sky,*
**[22:35] ---**
*always, always walking with you*
**[22:41] ---**
*I was searching for
the future I thought I saw,*
**[22:47] ---**
*so unlike the one up until a day ago*
**[22:53] ---**
*When you touched my heart,
convinced by my blurred vision,*
**[23:02] ---**
*that I was wandering*
**[23:05] ---**
*everything started changing*
**[23:09] ---**
*After counting clouds until I grew
bored of it, they drifted far away again*
**[23:16] ---**
*I went after them, and found
my dreams for tomorrow*
**[23:21] ---**
*Assured that it's now or never,
your feelings get through to me*
**[23:28] ---**
*and someday, I'm sure,
I'll offer mine, too*
**[23:34] ---**
*Like the clouds, gently, gently,*
**[23:39] ---**
*moving forever, forever forward*
**[23:47] ---**
"Next episode preview"
**[23:48] ---**
Sure, there aren't any clones of me, are there?
**[23:48] ---**
"#4 Sisters"
**[23:51] ---**
Ah, that's a weight off my chest!
**[23:52] ---**
Sissy, as if your bust wasn't petite enough,
**[23:54] ---**
if you take away more away--
**[23:56] ---**
I don't mean *that* kind of weight!
