Uiharu, what's our status?
According to the latest reports, there are six suspects.
The location hasn't changed. Please hurry!
Otherwise—
Otherwise, it's going to be those six that become...
This is Judgment!
...the victims...
I was too late...
W-What's this?
Um... Thank you!
Oh, it's nothing...
I am hereby detaining you for repeatedly ignoring warnings and causing an unnecessary disturbance in the general public.
Huh?! What are you talk—
Do you want to get overrun by all of these bystanders?
Come on, let us through!
Move aside!
Yes, we've reached the scene.
Come on, before things get complicated!
O-Okay...
What's wrong, Onee-sama?
Try to be glorious believer
Just to go on
Realize soulful heart

kimi to yakusoku shita mirai
And the future that we promised
tamerai mo fumikoete
Holding steady against hesitation
tobitateru mune ni hibiku yume ga aru kara
I rise to my feet, a dream resounding in my heart
asa no hizashi no mabushisa ni
In the brightness of the morning sunlight
kyou mo machi wa me wo samashite
The city opens its eyes to another morning
sawayaka na kaze ga hakonda
With a stiff breeze rushing through,
yokan ni kokoro hazumaseta
Heart dancing with anticipation
hitomi ni utsutta keshiki ga kagayaki dashitara
When the scenery begins to shine in my eyes,
shizen ni tsuujiau omoi mujakina egao sakaseta
Knowing our dreams, an innocent smile dawns on my face
te wo nobashi dakishimeta
This colorful world, I hold out my hands
iroazayakana genjitsu wa
Holding it close to me

No one can break it

So I will always believe
For shining truth moshi itsuka
For shining truth! If one day,
tomadoi kokoro ga furuetemo
You find yourself lost, heart trembling
mayoinaku te wo tsunagi
Don’t be afraid, just hold my hand
kakedasu yo tsuyoi kizuna ga koko ni aru kara
We’ll run together, everything here keeps us together!
You felt someone watching you?
Yeah...
Well, with the amount of attention you'd drawn back there...
No, not like that.
How can I describe it...
This isn't the first time I've felt it either...
Onee-sama.
The repercussions of the Level Upper Incident still haven't completely settled yet.
You've been in the spotlight ever since you defeated the AIM Burst and brought a resolution to the case.
But that was kept secret, wasn't it?
It wasn't on the news or anything.
You can't underestimate the power of rumors.
There are some who idolize you, and others who are angry at having their temporary powers taken away, like those guys.
That's why I keep telling you not to stand out so much—
I don't care about those kinds of stares.
That one felt different, like the electricity in my body was flowing backwards...
Just from that stare...
T-T-That might be "Someone's Watching"!
"Someone's Watching"?
It's the hottest urban legend right now!
A stare that suddenly pierces your back...
You turn around but nobody's there...
Yet that stare slowly but surely comes closer...
Those haunted by the stare eventually become too scared to take a single step outside their room.
They can feel its gaze from the other side of the door.
One time, a girl mustered up the courage to look through the peephole...
And then...
Huh?
Aren't you scared?
Not at all.
Geez...
Come on, Saten-san...
Bringing up another urban legend like that...
But—
Couldn't it just be stress?
You're always the center of attention, after all.
That's not—
Huh? Uiharu-san, your terminal's on.
You're right.
Wow, how'd you know?
I can feel the electromagnetic wave pulses.
Wow.
The GPS I used earlier was still on.
It sure is a difficult world.
It's obviously true for that GPS,
but all of us, not just Onee-sama, are always in someone's line of sight.
That's true...
Antiskill's been tightening security recently, too.
Speaking of which, I heard they're attaching security cameras to bags, too.
To bags?
Parents can apparently request one from teachers, who'll then attach it to the child's bag.
That way, parents can tell where their child is and what they're doing 24/7.
They'd really go that far?
That kind of pressure over a long term may have negative effects on their abilities,
and ultimately carries the risk of even warping their Personal Reality.
Regardless, that's the way Academy City is.
Worrying about it won't get you anywhere.
So just relax, Onee-sama.
It'd be silly to hurt your reputation as Tokiwadai's Ace over something as trivial as this.
She's right.
You're just worrying too much.
Yeah...
You're right.
Thanks, guys.
I'm just worrying too much.
I'm worrying too much.
I'm worrying...
Worrying...
Yo, Biribiri.
Was it...
YOU all this time?!
What??
W-What are you—
Don't play dumb!
It was you, wasn't it?
The one who's been watching me this entire time...
It was you, right?!
Um...
What on earth are you talking about?
I said, you're the one—
Geez...
Why would I be staring at you in the first place?
What do you mean "why"?
Well, because...
Your face is red.
Do you have a fever or something?
Sh-Shut up!
We're fighting, okay? We're having a fight!
I'm going to figure out right now if you're the one—
Hey!
What are you doing, using your powers here?
Oh, this is...
Sorry!
She was just playing around and—
What?! I wasn't—
Alright, we get it.
It's almost curfew time.
Hurry back home.
We're all clear here.
It was just a couple having a lover's spat.
Cou—
Lover's spat?
Cou... Cou... Cou...
Come on, go home already.
Yes, sir!
Is it just me being self-conscious?
Onee-sama...
It's a man, isn't it?

I-I'm glad I was worrying unnecessarily.
Geez, spouting that when I'm being serious...
No need to worry!
I was able to ascertain something just now.
Ascertain what?
The truth behind this case, of course.
So you've found the culprit?
In a way.
Does that mean—
To put it frankly...
It's you yourself, Onee-sama!
Huh?
Basically, your line of thinking is close, but still off.
Take those shorts underneath your skirt for example.
And the limited edition Gekota panties you bought online underneath!
Why do you—
Additionally, the bear and Gekota pajamas under your bed.
And the penguins and alligators and other ripoff characters in addition to that,
along with a mountain of ridiculously childish underwear!
Usually you don't think anything of it,
but your subconscious fear that maybe they really are embarrassing has become a tangible sensation!
Onee-sama, your illusions—
Kuroko...
Onee-sama?
Kuroko.
They're here...
Behind me.
Onee-sama, there's nobody looking this way...
Come out, you coward!
I don't know what you want, but I'll take you on any day!
Stop playing dirty and show yourself!
Onee-sama...
Saten-san, mind if I intrude—
Come on in!
Geez...
Taking advantage of me when I had my hands full...
Sorry, sorry.
So, what'd you buy?
Snacks and stuff.
We don't get to do sleepovers often, after all.
This counts as a snack too?
Strawberry
Oden
Oh, you haven't had that before?
The strawberries get a little soft from soaking, and the broth gains that sweet, tangy flavor...
It's a perfect match!
So that's why you're wearing strawberry underwear.
That's unrelated!
Incoming Call
Shirai Kuroko
Oh, I wonder what's up?
It tastes so good...
Hello, Shirai-san? What's—
Huh? Yeah, that's fine.
Yeah, Uiharu's here right now too.
Okay, then. Bye.
What happened?
Shirai-san says she's coming over.
I wonder why...
Well, apparently—
I need to ask you something.
That was fast!
Academy City Legend Extra
Tested!
Someone's Watching
This site doesn't have any more info than what I mentioned before.
I see...
Um...
I managed to find this...
"Someone's Watching" Victim Forum
Woah, how'd you find that?
Well, I have my ways.
This is actually one of those school "backdoor sites".
School?
Yeah, for Tokiwadai.
This is...
Shut up.
Do you dare talk back to MK of Tokiwadai?!
Who the hell are you?
Damn you!!!!!!
Kongou Mitsuko for sure.
It's so obvious.
Kongou-san?
The girl with that cute python!
Well, given that this many people have come forward claiming to be victims,
Damn person has surveillance powers qawsedrftgyhujikolp;
I'm too scared to go outside now...
What the hell is this...
Nobody will believe me...
it's possible that "Someone's watching" is an actual occurrence, not just an urban legend.
But who would do that, and why?
I'll start investigating other avenues...
Yes, but before that...
Could I ask you to keep this a secret from Onee-sama?
Why?
It's Onee-sama, after all.
If she gets wind of this, she'll go running off on her own again.
That's true...
I will catch the culprit.
That is Shirai Kuroko's job as Onee-sama's vanguard, after all!
In that case...
That means that following behind Shirai-san,
as Shirai-san and Misaka-san's friends,
will be our duty!
m 0 0 l 401 0 l 401 480 l 0 480
Since Misaka-san is the center of attention right now
You guys...
You'll never believe it...
The shortcut I always use was closed for construction,
so it turned into a one way street, and I ended up back where I started!
Man, I'm thirsty.
I'm stealing some juice.
Go ahead...
What's wrong, Misaka-san?
You look kind of exhausted.
Well...
Sorry to be a bother...
I just kind of feel safer here...
The security’s nice and tight.
Misaka-san, do you want Coconut Cider or Condensed Soy Milk?
Speaking of which,
where are Kuroko and Uiharu-san today?
They're on patrol.
I think they're going straight home after that.
I see...
Oh, yeah!
My shift is almost over, so why don't we go refresh ourselves?
R-Refresh?
I'll teach you my special stress reliever.
Stress reliever?
What might that be?
That would be...
This!
A bath house?
You get in while the sun's still up,
then leave as the evening breeze kicks in.
It's the best!
Everyone's at the bath? That sounds nice!
Yeah, we're starting now.
Thanks for the update.
Keep it up at your end, too!
H-H-H-How did you know it was me posting on that bulletin board??
What incredible investigative prowess!
Amazing, Shirai-san!
Whatever.
Just answer my questions, please.
What exactly was it that you felt watching you?
Unfortunately, I wasn't actually the victim.
The truth is...
The "Someone's Watching" victim was actually...
...one of our seniors in the swimming club.
I was merely trying to cheer her up!
I simply wanted to warn off the culprit, who surely reads that bulletin board.
Do you understand now?
Ah, the benevolence and warmth of my heart that drives me to think of others whom I have not even met!
Though that should be evidenced enough by my participation at the UNESCO Symposium with my father since my early childhood...
So were you two also posting on that board?
Come to think of it, there were a lot of posts of encouragement too...
Excuse me!
Are you listening to me?
Could you let me speak to this person?
That's probably impossible.
The stare...
Well, she said that the feeling of the electricity flowing backwards though her body really scares her,
so she's holed herself up in her room...
So all we could do was try to help on the bulletin board...
Um...
Please catch the culprit as fast as you can.
Many people must think they're just being led on by the urban legend, so they're not coming out...
I feel so bad for them...
Electricity? Through her body?
You're doing great! Just—
I have one more question.
What is this victim's power?
Well? Aren't early baths great?
It's definitely very relaxing.
At this time of day, people are still at school or cram school, so we have the whole place to ourselves.
I guess that's only because we're in Academy City.
Misaka-san, you don't have to curl up like that.
It's fine, you're still growing.
No, that's not what I...
Well, maybe I do care a little...
But right now, I just feel calmer like this...
Just go ahead and use the shampoo and stuff.
Sure!
Misaka-san, do you want to use it first?
Misaka-san...
S-Saten-san?
Leave your back to me.
I'm able to be here because you've always looked straight ahead.
That's why, you can leave your back to me and just face forward like you always do.
Oh?
That looks fun.
Why don't you join us, Komori-senpai?
Huh? Me too?
Of course! Take this!
Wai—
Fine, fine!
That felt good!
Well? Was that refreshing?
Yes, I feel great now.
Thanks to you too, Saten-san.
It's fine, I didn't do anything...
Next time we'll get Shirai-san and Uiharu-san to join us.
Sure!
Alright, let's go!
Huh?
Wasn't this a sliding door when we came in?
What...
What's wrong, Misaka-san?
It's not like you to fall sleep during class.
S-Sorry...
It's fine, just sit down.
No way... even here?
No way...
Misaka-san?
Is it happening again?
N-No...
I'm fine!
Come on, let's go!
Why...
Why is this happening?
This...
Thanks for keeping at it.
Have you found anything?
Welcome back!
What's with that?
A present from Saten-san.
Help yourself to some!
So, any results?
Without knowing the power, it's hard to say for sure.
I couldn't find any matching powers or espers in my databank searches.
I looked around everywhere I could think of too...
If we assume it isn't an esper at work...
Uiharu!
Could you look up one other thing for me?
Sure?
Onee-sama!
It's a Sunday.
What are you up to so early?
Nothing...
Just some shopping.
Then let me come—
I feel like wandering around alone today.
Onee-sama...
Kuroko here.
Subject has commenced movement.
Confirmed.
Where's the target?
Currently being traced.
We're slowly getting closer.
Research status?
I'm working on it simultaneously.
Almost done.
Acknowledged.
The pieces aren't quite ready,
but we'll have to take on the rest as it comes.
I'm counting on you two.
Okay!
Like hell "Someone's Watching".
If you want to look, then just look!
I'm not looking back again.
Instead...
There...
...it is!!
This path...
Misaka-san?
What's up, calling this early?
The shortcut I was talking about?
Right now, this street only goes one way.
If someone really is here watching...
Then they have to be right ahead!
Got you!!
Huh?
W-What are you doing?
Antiskill?
Aren't you...
The girl from the park?
You were there too...
What are you doing here?
Uh... well...
Nothing really...
You see, there's an urban legend called "Someone's watching"...
And I was trying to find out whether it's true or not...
"Someone's watching"?
What the heck is that?
You came all the way here because you believed in some urban legend?
No...
It's no urban legend.
Kuroko! Why—
"Someone's Watching" is a genuine crime.
But I'm sure you know that already, "Someone's Watching"-san.
Or should I say, Nagaten Jouki Academy's former power development director and current Antiskill member,
Jounan Asako.
W-What?
What's going on, Jounan?
Do you know her?
No, I...
The "stare" that's been tormenting Onee-sama is simply electromagnetic waves.
As an electric-type esper, Onee-sama can naturally sense phenomena related to her power.
Meaning,
espers like her will feel electric fields from the surrounding nature,
along with magnetic and electromagnetic information, and process them subconsciously whether they want to or not.
You used that against them by creating a device that amplifies the wavelength that they find the most unpleasant.
The effect being that victims would feel as if someone were staring at them.
Wh-What grounds do you have to—
"Unique Sensory Perceptions of Electric-type Espers and their Applications."
It was a very intriguing paper.
"Unique Sensory Perceptions of Electric-type Espers and their Applications."
Of course, I haven't read through it all, since we just found it.
That was tiring...
And also...
This rather suspicious machine.
Would you care to explain to me what its use is?
Hey, Jounan...
What's going on?
Which means that all this commotion...
...was your doing?
After repeated experiments on espers with similar powers,
you used the commotion surrounding the Level Upper Incident to target Onee-sama, your real objective.
Considering that 80% of the population of this city is students,
and given your position as an Antiskill in a period of heightened security,
you were probably able to approach her quite easily.
Dammit!
A bomb!
Is she suicide bombing?!
I'll blast it while it's still up there!
W-What was that?
Shirai-san! Misaka-san!
What happened?!
Shirai-san! Misaka-san!
Uiharu...
Uiharu, are you listening?
Shirai-san!
Jounan's stun grenade disabled our vision and hearing...
If you can hear me, go after Jounan immediately!
Okay!
But from here, I can't...
Dammit!
I didn't think my cover would be blown so quickly...
Where should I run?
This city's full of cameras and Antiskills...
Alright, this area should be good.
Yeah. So next is—
You two students!
I'm with Antiskill!
I need to use this boat for an investigation!
Wait!
You can't just do that! What about us?
I'll contact your school later!
Hurry up and undo the rope!
Thank you!
I'll send a proper thank-you note later!
That was lucky.
Now I can go straight out of this district without being found.
I'll leave Academy City for now,
and when things settle down, I'll definitely...
Why are you here?!
Why was I here, you asked?
Looks like you were being watched by someone, too.
Man, boats should be against the rules.
We're done...
N-No, it's such a waste to spend on us!
It's fine, this time the credit goes to you.
You two, eat up, too.
Thank you very much.
Wow!
So many limited edition cakes from Pasticceria Manicagni!
Though, it's hard to believe that a teacher from such a renowned school as Nagaten Jouki would go this far as revenge for being fired...
Nagaten Jouki Academy is famous for being ranked number one in Academy City for power development.
That being the case, it must have been a lot of pressure for the power development director, being unable to produce any Level 5s.
I don't know the true reason she was let go,
but maybe the fact that Tokiwadai has the same prestige and raised two Level 5s,
one of them being the famous Onee-sama, may be the reason she went after you.
Anyway, it was amazing how you figured out that the victims were all electric-type espers!
Yeah!
And your reasoning that if it wasn't an esper then it had to be a power developer was right on too!
You were the one who actually substantiated the theory, Uiharu.
And Saten-san kept watch over Onee-sama the whole time we were researching.
We wouldn't have been able to solve this case without everyone's help.
Oh, come on...
But we can't do anything without you, Shirai-san.
Going to the bath house during the investigation to watch over Misaka-san in case "Someone's Watching" appears...
Wait Uiha—
Tailing Misaka-san at all times in order to protect her wherever she goes...
Uiha—
Being on standby nearby 24/7 since "Someone's Watching" could have shown up at any time...
Oh my, oh my...
I definitely couldn't have done that!
Uiharu.
You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?
I knew something seemed strange...
Even "Someone's watching" shouldn't have been able to get into the changing room or our dorm room.
O-Onee-sama... well, you see...
You're prepared,
right?
Yes, ma'am.
You damn pervert!!
This is why I'll never stop being Onee-sama's vanguard!!
