And here is the weather for September 14th.
We're looking at clear skies for the entire country tomorrow...
But it's looking to be cloudy later in the evening.
Hey, Touma.
What's up?
The map they're showing seems to have tree rings on it...
How is it possible to tell the weather from that?
Oh, those are isobar lines.
They figure it out by looking at the highs and lows those lines make.
So wait, does that mean Academy City has perfected an artificial form of Feng Shui?!
It's food time!
It's still hot, so be careful—
Touma!
That's so unfair, Touma!
And you get mad at me when I eat some!
You'd eat them all the second I look away.
But Touma...
The weather woman gets it wrong from time to time.
Is it all an act to please the audience?
That just means weather forecasts aren't always accurate.
Though it's been perfect until recently...
This is Shuttle 258.
We're beginning the recovery of Remnant.
UTW & Mazui Presents
To Aru Majutsu no Index
yubi de hajiku koin mitsumeta
I watched the coin as I flicked it from my finger
omote nara go ura wa stay
Heads means go, tails means stay
mazu kotae wo kikasete
But first, let me hear your answer
douka oshiete kuremasen ka
"Could you please tell me?"
tenshi wa misadameru egao no mama
The angels kept their smiles while judging us
mayoe sono te wo hiku mono nado inai
Lose your path! No one will hold your hand along the way
kami ga kudasu sono kotae wa fukou datta
The answer God gave was unfortunate
sou sore koso kami kara no okurimono
Yes, that is what God's gift is
norikoetara miete kuru sa dakara ima sugu
You'll see once you overcome it, so for now...
No buts!
Remnant
Sheesh, why do we have to do this?
I know it's almost Daihaseisai, but it's ridiculous for the entire student body to have gym so often.
There is no use complaining.
Last year, Tokiwadai Middle School came in at a humiliating second place during Daihaseisai's events.
They are hoping to change that this year.
By the way, Onee-sama, might you have anything planned this afternoon?
Why do you ask?
Well... I would like to go shopping with you every so often...
and perhaps eat some cake or other desserts...
It feels as though we have not spent time together as of late.
What with my work at Judgment, and your running around in search of accessories...
Certes, I have been feeling quite lonesome.
Kuroko...
Perfect!
Today, I—Kuroko—have been quite praiseworthy!
And though she may deny it, she truly wishes to care for me enough that I may jump into her arms and caress her... Yes? No?
Aren't you always eating sweets after your Judgment work is finished?
That'd explain why your stomach has been sticking out latel—
Onee-sama!
US Space Shuttle Launches Successfully
Onee-sama?
There have been a lot of those lately.
I believe France and Russia already launched theirs, and Spain just last week.
Is something the matter, Onee-sama?
You seem somewhat irritated...
O-Of course I am!
You randomly drop-kicked me in the nude...
I saw something I never wanted to see!
That doesn't matter, just hurry up and finish shopping!
Shopping with you has proven to be really embarrassing.
Onee-sama, we should find something more fitting for Tokiwadai's Ace!
Like this...
Or this...
Or perhaps something like this!
Breast pads?!
I had no idea that you would be interested in this!
Might this be for a certain gentleman?
O-Of course not!
Oh, but of course!
Verily, Onee-sama is not one to have feelings towards the opposite sex...
That reminds me, something did occur the last day of summer vacation...
Of course not! There is no way Onee-sama would...
Right, Onee-sama—
What is with that cute girl reaction?
Onee-sama, do not tell me that you... that you and that primate are actually...
N-No!
I have no interest in those things!
Even if I did use them, I'd be busted when I take off my clothes.
Onee-sama...
To have already planned out your life that far...
T-That's not it!
I meant for gym!
When we're changing for gym!
Oh look, your cell phone's ringing.
Better pick it up!
Honestly, they couldn't have picked a better time...
Yes?
Oh, Uiharu?
A robbery?
Just let Antiskill take care of that.
District 23?
Ah, the one linked to aerospace research...
My deepest apologies, Onee-sama.
I even invited you too.
Don't worry about it.
Just try to get home early.
They say there may be a storm coming this evening.
I... understand...
Oh, Shirai-san!
Are you alone, Uiharu?
They all went out for a bit.
Oh, yeah. I'll go make some tea!
Sorry, but I think I will pass today.
No way...
Just let me feel like a rich girl for once!
I will teach you all about proper etiquette for a lady when we're not busy.
But for now, inform me of the situation at hand.
Here it is.
What is this?
Using a radio instead of a cellphone?
The victims seem rather suspicious as well, don't you agree?
But take a look at this.
District 23's emblem...
I was able to identify the serial number.
The case in question is an airtight special case that is resistant to a wide range of space radiation.
Are they planning on sending it to space?
Or maybe they brought it back from space?
Seems like it'd be easier to just catch the robbers.
What was their escape route?
They abandoned their car and entered an underground shopping mall.
There's a big traffic jam because of traffic light issues.
That's pretty rare...
Though convenient for us.
Uiharu, you work on tracking the targets.
Shirai-san!
Hurry!
Why, hello there.
What?
A teleporter?!
Here I am.
I am with Judgment.
I don't think I need to explain why I am here.
Damn it!
Did they get this low-tech gun from outside the city?
Hello, Uiharu?
Oh, Kuroko?
Onee-sama?
I need to ask a favor...
Where are you now?
Um...
Oh, you're still doing work?
Sorry!
I must be interrupting.
Not at all, what did you want?
Well, an underclassman told me that they were doing room inspections at random.
I was wondering if you could hide my stuff.
Are you still out, Onee-sama?
Well, it's fine.
I'll try someone else.
You should come back early too!
There's supposed to be heavy rain tonight all the way until tomorrow.
See ya!
Onee-sama?
I refuse to allow another girl to handle her request!
I have to teleport back to our dorm immediately!
Who are you?
A teleporter?
Oh, you've noticed?
I guess someone with the same power would.
My power is Move Point.
Unlike you, I don't have to touch an object to teleport it.
Pretty cool, right?
Shirai Kuroko-san of 177th Judgment Branch.
That was foolish!
I already said that was foolish—
I told you, didn't I?
I don't need to touch objects in order to teleport them.
Too bad...
No matter how desperate she may be, I didn't think she was the type to involve her underclassmen.
Misaka Mikoto...
Why would you mention Onee-sama's name...?
Oh, don't you know?
It doesn't seem like she's using you without telling you anything...
I didn't think the Tokiwadai's Railgun was that kind of person.
Don't you think it's all too coincidental?
Out of all things, my men were caught in a traffic jam.
I'm fairly certain you know what sort of power Tokiwadai's Ace possesses.
What are you trying to say?
Remnant...
...though you probably don't know what that is.
"Silicorundum"... might also confuse you.
Okay, then...
You'd understand if I called it the remnants of the "Tree Diagram", no?
The supercomputer that is said to be the brains of Academy City...
Or maybe a processing core that retains a vast number of possibilities even when destroyed...
Impossible...
It should still be in orbit right now.
A photo attached to the report of the impact.
Rare, isn't it?
"Tree Diagram" has long since been destroyed.
That's why the world wants its remains... the Remnant.
Misaka Mikoto must also have it tough.
Even though a certain someone destroyed the "Tree Diagram" and ended her nightmare...
The experiments would be restarted if it were reconstructed.
I can understand the feeling of not wanting to struggle in vain, however.
"Experiment"?
You still don't understand?
You truly are uninformed, aren't you.
August 21st.
If you were able to get this far, I could just befriend you.
"Splash!" says MISAKA as MISAKA jumps in!
"And I'll splash even more!" while kicking and basking in this sense of freedom!
Like I said...
No matter how small you are, to feel a sense of freedom in such a tiny bathroom is-
"Isn't it tough for you to not be able to use Reflect?" says MISAKA as MISAKA stares venomously.
"Also, what'll we do with an Esper who tears up from shampoo in his eye?" says MISAKA while MISAKA is amazed.
I'm not tearing up!
Also, if I could use your network to perform my calculations, a simple Reflect-
Yomikawa!
Why do I have to take care of this brat?!
What did you expect?
Sheesh, that eccentric...
Giving me more trouble...
Well, it doesn't look like there'll be much trouble.
Yomikawa!
Shirai-san, I've found the name of the Esper you fought.
Her name is Musujime Awaki.
A Level 4 Esper at the Kirigaoka Academy.
About her power, Move Point...
It's just as you reported, she can move objects from a distance...
Basically, she can teleport objects from point A to point B.
Were you able to find anything else?
Um... she cannot teleport anyone with the same power as her.
And as for the reason she doesn't teleport herself...
It seems it's because she suffered a serious injury two years ago.
Also, this is unconfirmed information,
but she is one of the guides...
A guide?
To the building with no doors or windows...
The main base of the General Director of Academy City?
But that is nothing more than an urban legend—
Shirai-san? Are you okay?
Yes. Just continue with your report.
Will do.
According to information from Antiskill, they've secured the men in black who were being assaulted.
As for their identity...
They seem to be smugglers hired by District 23.
We had a psychic read their memories, but they knew nothing about what was in the case...
So basically, District 23 was in the middle of transferring the contents of said case to another research facility...
Until it was stolen by Musujime's group...
Remnant...
Tree Diagram...
Misaka Mikoto must also have it tough.
Even though her nightmare ended...
Just try to get home early.
They say there may be a storm coming this evening.
Shirai-san?
Should we leave this case to Antiskill?
It doesn't seem to be something we can handle...
I'm hanging up.
Huh?!
Kuroko?
Y-Yes, Onee-sama?
Are you taking a bath?
You should've turned the lights on if you were already home.
I-I was just trying to save power.
I am a girl who is thoughtful of Earth.
Oh?
But the main source of electricity in Academy City is wind-generated...
CO2 doesn't have anything to do with it, right?
My, you're such a tease, Onee-sama.
I was thinking of using this as an excuse to lure Onee-sama into this dark, moody space...
What's that?
Onee-sama, where have you been?
I guess I was going to go buy an accessory I didn't get earlier.
I can't seem to find it.
I came back to get something I forgot.
So I'm gonna head out for a little while.
I hope it doesn't rain.
The weather forecasts nowadays are not accurate at all.
Yeah.
I appreciate you looking out for me.
I'll try to be back as soon as possible.
Onee-sama...
August 21st...
An unknown storm rose that night...
The railway switch yard at District 17 was obliterated.
And the next day...
Uiharu!
Musujime's group is connected with an organization outside of Academy City!
Can you simulate their escape route?
I'm sorry, Onee-sama.
You must have been harboring a deep anguish that none of us could even imagine.
And you are still trying to keep me out of it.
So let me take this chance to apologize.
In order to put a stop to what Musujime calls your "nightmare,"
I will have to rudely intrude into your private matters.
Onee-sama!
Come out, you cowards!
How long do you intend to sneak around like that?
Onee-sama...
You're quite impatient today, aren't you?
Are you that scared of Remnant being reassembled?
Or maybe you're afraid of the experiment being restarted?
Shut up!
Why don't you just ignore them?
They were created for the experiment to begin with.
They should just be smashed up as intended.
What did you say?
In the end, you're merely fighting for your own sake, no?
Regret...
Disappointment...
...and anger.
You're just fighting to appease those puny sentiments of yours.
You're right.
I'm pissed off...
So pissed off it feels like the veins in my head are about to burst.
That idiot...
Did she really think I wouldn't notice?!
Even through the door, her voice was...
...was that horrible...
Yeah.
I'm pissed off.
At my idiotic roommate and the piece of crap sitting in front of me.
And most of all, at the person responsible for this mess...
Myself!
You're far too kind.
You could avoid having to fight by simply counting yourself as a victim.
Anyway, I can't allow myself to get caught here.
I will use any means necessary to escape.
Do you think you can get away?
I've already figured out your power!
You think such a cowardly shield...?!
A question for you!
How many of these people are ordinary civilians?
It looks like it's my turn to move now.
Alright...
Time for me, Shirai Kuroko, to make my move...
So that we can definitely return...
I must go to the depths of the battlefield...
"If that's true, I have to hurry," says MISAKA as she reminds herself of this utmost priority.
"It's already past curfew, but this is not the time to care about that," says MISAKA as an emergency excuse to drive herself on.
"The situation worsens with each passing moment," says MISAKA as...
