[00:22] ---
    I know it came from around here...
[00:46] ---
    Y-You're...
[00:50] ---
    Who are you...?
[00:53] ---
    Meow.
[00:58] ---
    Huh?
[01:12] ---
    sister's noise, I keep on looking
    (sorrow of your heart...)
[01:16] ---
    for where your lost heart is
    (I shoot it down...)
[01:19] ---
    Nobody can ruin the feelings
    we've built up together
[01:29] ---
    The oft-repeated truth is still distant
[01:36] ---
    while I am unable to sense your pain
[01:42] ---
    If the dreams you
    committed to me that day
[01:46] ---
    end up tearing me apart,
[01:49] ---
    don't ever let go of that hope
[01:52] ---
    more precious than anything else
[01:57] ---
    Though once closer to you than anyone else
    (sister's noise...)
[02:01] ---
    I cannot hear your voice
    (I find it out...)
[02:04] ---
    While the hands of time kept ticking away
[02:08] ---
    I was finally able to find you
[02:11] ---
    sister's noise, so I keep on looking
    (sorrow of your heart...)
[02:14] ---
    for where your lost heart is
    (I shoot it down...)
[02:17] ---
    I promise to preserve the shared
    smiles we both felt
[02:23] ---
    Nobody can ruin them now
[02:32] ---
    "Mya"?
[02:33] ---
    W-What does that mean?
    Is her name Mya?
[02:37] ---
    Is she with an organization called Mya?
    Or did I just mishear her?
[02:40] ---
    Is it possible she wasn't
    speaking Japanese?
[02:42] ---
    ...says the four-legged
    creature who is in trouble.
[02:47] ---
    (meow)
[02:49] ---
    A cat?
[02:50] ---
    "Earlier, while passing by this way,
    I discovered a baby
[02:54] ---
    that was left inside a car
    that was parked on the street.
[02:59] ---
    Since there was
    the danger of heat stroke,
[03:02] ---
    Misaka used her electrical power
[03:03] ---
    to unlock the door and
    open the window, but then...
[03:08] ---
    The startled creature
    climbed up the tree,
[03:12] ---
    and became unable to
    come back down,"
[03:15] ---
    says Misaka,
    kindly explaining the situation.
[03:19] ---
    Ah... Wait, none of that really matters!
[03:23] ---
    I asked you who you were, didn't I?!
[03:26] ---
    "Apparently, it has gotten into
    an even more precarious situation.
[03:30] ---
    Are you certain
    we should not help," asks--
[03:33] ---
    He may be small, but he's a cat,
    so he'll be fine at that height!
[03:37] ---
    Never mind him--
[03:37] ---
    Is that so?
[03:39] ---
    Big Sister, you are
    saying that you do not care
[03:41] ---
    if that creature is slammed
    against the ground, then?
[03:46] ---
    And if as a result, it is badly hurt,
    becomes functionally impaired,
[03:50] ---
    such that its vital
    activities are suspended,
[03:53] ---
    it is not your concern?
[03:57] ---
    Ugh, all right!
    What do you want me to do?
[04:01] ---
    "If you get on all
    fours and I climb up,
[04:04] ---
    I believe I will
    just barely reach,"
[04:06] ---
    proposes Misaka.
[04:08] ---
    Well, it's true, there's nothing
    else around to use as a base.
[04:17] ---
    Huh? What am
    I doing on the bottom?
[04:19] ---
    Big Sister, a little farther left.
[04:22] ---
    Don't be crazy!
[04:29] ---
    L-Look, you...!
[04:31] ---
    I managed to safely secure it, says--
[04:35] ---
    H-Hey, come on! What are
    you holding your skirt up for?!
[04:39] ---
    You're a nice young lady!
    You're a nice young lady!
[04:41] ---
    If you're going to share
    my face, you've got to...
[04:51] ---
    O-On closer look, he's a
    very cute kiddy-kitty, isn't he?
[04:55] ---
    Kiddy-kitty?
[04:56] ---
    He's a cat's little kid,
    so he's a kiddy-kitty.
[04:58] ---
    It's too bad he's
    spooked by me, though.
[05:01] ---
    They react to the
    slight electrical field
[05:03] ---
    that is produced by my body.
[05:10] ---
    It looks like Misaka does, as well.
[05:16] ---
    No, this isn't what I meant!
[05:19] ---
    You keep saying "Big Sister"
    and "Misaka"! Are you... my...
[05:24] ---
    ...c-clone, then?
[05:27] ---
    Yes.
[05:29] ---
    Just like that...
[05:33] ---
    I thought that project was
    supposed to have been frozen.
[05:37] ---
    Why... does someone
    like you even exist?
[05:42] ---
    "ZXC741...
[05:44] ---
    ASD852... QWE963-Dash,"
[05:48] ---
    replies Misaka,
    seeking password confirmation.
[05:52] ---
    Huh?
[05:53] ---
    Sure enough, Big Sister,
    you are not involved in the experiment.
[05:58] ---
    I cannot answer the question you asked.
[06:03] ---
    Who is in charge of this project?
[06:05] ---
    That is a confidential matter.
[06:08] ---
    For what reason were you created?
[06:10] ---
    That is classified.
[06:16] ---
    Do you want to get hurt?
    If I have to force it out of you...
[06:29] ---
    Fine. Get going.
[06:32] ---
    I'll just follow after you on my own.
[06:34] ---
    I'm sure you'll head back to some
    facility or laboratory sometime.
[06:39] ---
    Once there, I'll snatch up
    your manufacturer,
[06:41] ---
    and get my answers straight from them.
[07:02] ---
    Sisters...
[07:05] ---
    If she wasn't right
    here in front of my face,
[07:07] ---
    I'd find it pretty hard to believe.
[07:10] ---
    No...
[07:11] ---
    Actually, for a long time now,
    in the back of my mind,
[07:15] ---
    I've been scared that someday,
[07:18] ---
    a clone who looked
    just like me would show up.
[07:22] ---
    However...
[07:25] ---
    That it should be... this...
[07:29] ---
    It's not exactly what I imagined.
[07:34] ---
    I pictured it as more of a black op,
[07:36] ---
    where there's a plot
    to put the subject to death,
[07:38] ---
    and then replace
    them with the other one.
[07:41] ---
    Man, this is completely throwing me off.
[07:48] ---
    "Sister-S"!
[07:50] ---
    J-Just a minute!
[07:53] ---
    Hey, just a minute, I said!
[07:55] ---
    I know it sounds crazy,
[07:57] ---
    but there aren't another five
    or ten others like you, are there?
[08:03] ---
    "Kiddy-kitty."
[08:05] ---
    Whether you say it forwards
    or backwards, it's "kiddy-kitty."
[08:09] ---
    Hey, don't give me
    any nonsense; answer me!
[08:12] ---
    "Kiddy-kitty."
[08:13] ---
    No, I just told you...!
[08:17] ---
    Aw, for Pete's sake...!
[08:18] ---
    Hey, you two twins!
[08:22] ---
    It's not good for sisters to fight.
[08:24] ---
    She's not my sister!
[08:25] ---
    Hey, now, you shouldn't
    ever say that, even in jest.
[08:29] ---
    Hold on a second.
[08:35] ---
    Here you are!
[08:36] ---
    Huh?
[08:37] ---
    These are my blue-ribbon flavors!
[08:39] ---
    I'm letting you have them,
    so make up with each other.
[08:41] ---
    Uh, I hate to say this, but this
    is no time to be eating ice cream.
[08:49] ---
    A rich and refreshing sweetness
    without a greasy aftertaste.
[08:52] ---
    It is obvious that the milk is good,
[08:55] ---
    but unless you use well-ground sugar,
    you do not get this texture.
[08:58] ---
    The cone yields a crust
    of crushed cookies, right?
[09:02] ---
    "Good job!"
[09:03] ---
    ...says Misaka, offering her
    generous praise.
[09:07] ---
    Thank you.
[09:09] ---
    Well, when a couple breaks up,
    they're perfect strangers again,
[09:13] ---
    but sisters share their blood for life.
[09:17] ---
    My old lady might turn perfect stranger
    on me if I don't make some money.
[09:21] ---
    Look, we're not interested.
[09:24] ---
    Anyhow, be nice sisters to each other!
[09:26] ---
    I told you, it's not like that!
[09:29] ---
    But, based on outward appearances,
    what are you supposed to think?
[09:32] ---
    You wouldn't know that we share
    not just blood, but even our genes.
[09:39] ---
    Huh?
[09:44] ---
    Hey!
[09:44] ---
    "Why, what is the matter?"
[09:46] ---
    ...asks Misaka, enjoying the
    refreshing aftertaste
[09:48] ---
    of choco-mint,
    while playing innocent.
[09:51] ---
    Even supposing that you are
    my clone, you can't be such a pig--
[09:54] ---
    "Now that I am chilled,
    I would like to have some hot tea,"
[09:58] ---
    coaxes Misaka, as though
    nothing had happened.
[10:01] ---
    Huh?
[10:02] ---
    "I may not look it,
    but I am pretty fussy about my tea,"
[10:05] ---
    says Misaka, raising a hurdle in advance.
[10:09] ---
    "Incidentally, my order will be milk tea,"
[10:12] ---
    says Misaka, already settling on her order--
[10:14] ---
    Stop screwing with me!
[10:19] ---
    "That milk tea was quite good.
    The strawberry shortcake was, too,"
[10:24] ---
    says Misaka, offering her candid opinion.
[10:27] ---
    So, when are you going to head back?
[10:31] ---
    I forgot to mention this,
[10:33] ---
    but Misaka is now
    headed for her experiment,
[10:35] ---
    so she is not
    returning to the facility.
[10:37] ---
    Huh?!
[10:38] ---
    Big Sister,
    you are free to follow me,
[10:41] ---
    but you will not see
    Misaka's manufacturer.
[10:43] ---
    W-Why did you wait until now to...
[10:46] ---
    Because you did not ask.
[10:50] ---
    What do I do?
[10:51] ---
    Would it be quicker trying to
    decode her password,
[10:53] ---
    and search for
    more information that way?
[10:55] ---
    I do have my PDA with me.
[10:57] ---
    Whoops...
[10:59] ---
    What is that?
[11:00] ---
    Oh, just a prize I got
    from a vending machine.
[11:07] ---
    What is this?
[11:08] ---
    Just hold still, will you?
[11:10] ---
    Mm-hmm, this is a lot more
    straightforward and objective
[11:15] ---
    than looking in a mirror.
    Looking at it this way, it's quite passable.
[11:17] ---
    "No, no, it ain't," says Misaka,
    shocked by Misaka's model's
[11:21] ---
    childish sense of fashion.
[11:23] ---
    W-What did you say?!
[11:25] ---
    O-Obviously, I was just joking.
[11:28] ---
    You know it's bad when your own clone...
[11:30] ---
    Geez, I just put it on
    you to see how it looked.
[11:30] ---
    ...shoots you down.
[11:44] ---
    Hey, what's the big idea?!
[11:46] ---
    "The moment you put it on Misaka,
[11:48] ---
    the ownership of this badge
    transferred to her," she asserts.
[11:52] ---
    "Big Sister's actions constitute
    robbery," charges Misaka.
[11:55] ---
    What kind of sophistry is that?!
[11:57] ---
    It is not sophistry. Besides, this...
[12:00] ---
    ...is the first present
    ever received from Big Sister.
[12:07] ---
    "Wasn't there anything
    better she could have given,"
[12:11] ---
    grumbles Misaka to herself with a sigh.
[12:16] ---
    That's it! Give it back!
[12:18] ---
    Whoa, don't let her trip you up again.
[12:22] ---
    I won't get anywhere at this rate.
    I'll check the net, instead.
[12:28] ---
    Okay, fine. I'm going
    to call it quits for today.
[12:34] ---
    Hmm? Was there something else?
[12:37] ---
    No.
[12:39] ---
    Farewell, Big Sister.
[12:42] ---
    Yeah, mm-hmm. See you.
[12:51] ---
    Sheesh, what was her deal?
[12:54] ---
    Everything she did had
    me thrown off of my game.
[12:57] ---
    Getting frisky together with that cat...
[13:00] ---
    ...eating ice cream together...
[13:02] ---
    ...scrambling for that metal badge...
[13:04] ---
    It's almost like she was...
[13:09] ---
    Whatever, first thing I'm going
    to do is let her manufacturer have it!
[13:29] ---
    "#5 Project Level 6 Shift"
[13:33] ---
    Thank you very much, Miss Haru'ue!
[13:36] ---
    Mm-mm, you're always
    helping me out, after all.
[13:39] ---
    I'm very happy to help you with
    your summer vacation homework.
[13:43] ---
    The Judgment recruiting drive
    took so much time, I was in a real fix.
[13:48] ---
    This really saves my neck!
[13:51] ---
    All done. Is this all of it?
[13:57] ---
    Yes, hello?
[13:58] ---
    Miss Uiharu? Sorry for calling so late.
[14:01] ---
    Forgive me for
    coming right to the point,
[14:03] ---
    but do you know what
    ZXC741-ASD852-QWE963-Dash means?
[14:12] ---
    Hmm, I've seen this
    pattern before somewhere...
[14:17] ---
    This code looks like a
    password attached to information
[14:21] ---
    of security Rank A or above.
[14:23] ---
    I've tried to crack this before, myself.
[14:26] ---
    Thanks! You're a big help!
[14:28] ---
    Huh? Um, Miss Misaka...?
[14:30] ---
    Is something the matter with Miss Misaka?
[14:32] ---
    Huh... I'm not sure.
[14:45] ---
    The current time is 20:58.
[14:49] ---
    Two minutes remain
    until Experiment number 9982.
[14:56] ---
    What...
[14:57] ---
    "How to shift an absolute esper
    to Level 6 through the use of Sisters."
[15:00] ---
    ...is this?
[15:17] ---
    It is now 21:00 hours.
[15:20] ---
    We will now commence
    Experiment number 9982.
[15:28] ---
    "How to shift the
    absolute esper to Level 6
[15:30] ---
    through the use of Sisters.
[15:33] ---
    In Academy City, there are
    seven people who are Level 5s,
[15:37] ---
    but as a result of the projections
    calculated by Tree Diagram,
[15:41] ---
    it is ascertained that there
    is only one person able to reach
[15:44] ---
    the as-yet unseen Level 6."
[15:58] ---
    "If this subject were to
    undergo a normal curriculum...
[16:07] ---
    ...it would require 250 years
    for him to reach Level 6.
[16:13] ---
    We are suspending this plan,
    and have considered fostering
[16:18] ---
    esper ability development via combat.
[16:20] ---
    We will prepare a number
    of specific battlefields,
[16:22] ---
    and by proceeding through
    combat according to these scenarios,
[16:26] ---
    we will manipulate the
    direction of his development.
[16:29] ---
    As a result of the calculations,
[16:31] ---
    128 different types of
    battlefields will be prepared,
[16:34] ---
    and by killing Railgun 128 times,
[16:38] ---
    it is ascertained that
    he will shift to Level 6.
[16:42] ---
    However, since it is impossible
    to secure multiple Railguns...
[17:05] ---
    ...the Sisters from the
    frozen 'Project Radio Noise'
[17:08] ---
    will be repurposed,
    and serve as substitutes here."
[17:13] ---
    What's the matter?
[17:15] ---
    Through already?
[17:19] ---
    "By pumping out mass
    numbers of armed Sisters,
[17:23] ---
    the specs will be bridged..."
[17:27] ---
    "By means of combat
    scenarios with 20,000 'Sisters'"
[17:30] ---
    "the shift to 'Level 6' will be achieved."
[17:35] ---
    What is this?
    Horsing around only goes so far.
[17:40] ---
    This stuff in here about killing me,
    and using clones as proxies...
[17:45] ---
    "Experiment 9982" "Begins 8/15 21:00"
[17:45] ---
    There's no way a project like
    this could be carried out...
[17:57] ---
    Farewell, Big Sister.
[18:01] ---
    Man...!
[18:10] ---
    Run away, run away!
[18:13] ---
    The longer you do,
    the longer you get to live.
[18:17] ---
    After all, this is a
    life-or-death game of tag.
[18:28] ---
    Once I catch up to you,
[18:29] ---
    it's game over.
[18:33] ---
    Too slow!
[18:41] ---
    Now, now, you don't
    got any time for falling down.
[18:50] ---
    Hey, you, are you all
    broken already? That's no fun.
[18:56] ---
    I'm not sure if I can
    really make Level 6 like this.
[19:04] ---
    Ho...? Very nice.
[19:08] ---
    You're a tough one, aren't you?
[19:10] ---
    That's more like it!
[19:21] ---
    Yeah, right. There's no
    way such a ridiculous project is--
[19:38] ---
    What's wrong, what's wrong?
    Finally running out of steam?
[19:44] ---
    Or have you just given up already?
[19:49] ---
    Misa... ka...
[19:53] ---
    ...does not have an accurate grasp
    of the target's ability... however...
[19:57] ---
    ...going by the experimental
    results up to now...
[20:02] ---
    ...assuming the target projects
    some kind of barrier around him...
[20:09] ---
    ...seeing as how he steps on
    the ground to walk...
[20:15] ---
    ...it is believed that his ability
    does not extend downward...
[20:18] ---
    ...or at least to the soles
    of his feet, and as such...
[20:22] ---
    ...it is concluded that a surprise
    attack from such a direction...
[20:27] ---
    ...would be the most effective...
[20:29] ---
    What are you mumbling about?
[20:31] ---
    If you won't run away,
    I'll finish you off.
[20:35] ---
    "I am not running away.
[20:38] ---
    As per my plan...
[20:41] ---
    I have succeeded in leading
    you to the target location..."
[20:46] ---
    ...says Misaka,
    seeking for correction...
[21:01] ---
    Target... completely neutrali--
[21:09] ---
    Aw, too bad.
[21:15] ---
    Your idea...
[21:18] ---
    ...was so off the mark!
[21:34] ---
    Now we can't play tag anymore, huh?
[21:37] ---
    If I just leave you there,
    you'll probably croak on your own,
[21:41] ---
    but I hate to just stand around waiting.
[21:50] ---
    Huh? Hey, are you still running away?
[21:54] ---
    But then, that way's a dead end.
[21:57] ---
    Or do you have something
    else up your sleeve?
[22:10] ---
    I've had enough of you.
[22:15] ---
    I'm gonna finish this.
[22:22] ---
    No way!
[22:24] ---
    No way... It can't be...!
[22:40] ---
    Stop!
[22:46] ---
    Today's experiment is all done!
[22:51] ---
    I made quite a mess
    of things this time, though.
[22:54] ---
    I wonder if they'll
    be able to clean this up.
[22:58] ---
    Well, I guess it doesn't matter.
