Archbishop!
Wh-What?
Is what's on this document correct?
Do you not realize that your words can change the world?
What do you think you're doing?
You're walking in on a lady's bath, Stiyl!
That's inexcusable for a holy worker—
Just answer me.
Now... Would you be so kind as to explain yourself?
Now!
My clothes are clinging to me, leaving my voluptuous curves in plain view...
You can't!
Avert your eyes, Stiyl!
I mustn't allow others to behold my skin!

Serial Number Specimen Number
Why did that Archbishop have to get something so difficult to use?
Sheesh...
Just wash your clothes in the river.
A river's a little...
Apparently you push this button.
How about we just wash clothes by hand?
Let's try just a little harder.
The completely automated washing machine of our dreams stands right before our eyes!
I thought you already finished doing the laundry for today.
Right!
Since there's nothing else to wash...
No, we have more to wash.
You don't have to take off your clothes just so we have something to wash!
And don't mimic her, you two!
It seems quite simple to take off a Japanese yukata.
H-H-Hey!
Kanzaki-san, you don't wear any underwear?
That's how you wear a yukata!
It's very quiet.
I can't believe we went through all that just for this...
Hey, Far East girl.
You should add on "former," but what is it?
The manual says to separate things that have fading colors.
Is your dyed obi going to be fine?
C-Cancel... Where's the cancel button?
You really aren't wearing panties.
Gekota, Gekota, Gekota, Gekota!
Good grief...
You finally done?
Er, what?
Omigod, Pyanko comes with Gekota?!
Woohoo!
Meaning... you're Misaka's sister.
"Yes," replies MISAKA, adding her serial number 10032 for reference.
It's hard to tell without your goggles on.
"Have you seen a MISAKA about this tall?" asks MISAKA, pointing just below her chest.
Can you guys change your height or something?
"Judging from that question, you probably don't know," states MISAKA, losing confidence in your usefulness.
"MISAKA's goggles have been stolen."
"I need to get them back as soon as possible," hints MISAKA with pleading eyes.
W-Well, it is a bit hard to tell.
You should keep your blazer off, or maybe—
Wait, why are you putting your hands on your skirt?
No, wait!
Don't strip!
Oh, I know.
If we get you some jewelry, it'd help.
Jewelry?
Maybe a ring.
A ring...
"She has obtained information such as receiving good luck when putting an engagement ring on your left ring finger."
Hmm... Maybe not a ring.
It doesn't stand out much.
It'd need to be something that I could easily see...
"I'm playing tag with MISAKA right now!" says MISAKA as MISAKA attempts to report her current situation.
"I'm not coming home just yet, but I want you to make dinner for me," says MISAKA as MISAKA tries giving an order.
That damn brat!
It's because we left her alone.
If she had only called one of us, we could've asked where she is.
Let go, damn you!
I said, let go!
We'll leave Kikyou to watch over the house, then.
You're going to go look for her, aren't you?
If we analyze the background sounds, we can narrow down her possible locations.
Well, just leave it to Yomikawa onee-san.
Isn't that abuse of your resources?
Searching for lost children is my job, too.
Come on, let's go.
"A ring..."
MISAKA thinks about her left ring finger...
If you don't like it I can return it.
"Please don't take anything else from MISAKA," pleads MISAKA with a small voice.
Animal donuts?
Oh, they look pretty good.
Digging right in!
"Tweet, tweet, tweet..."
"These chicks are very well-behaved. They don't bite at all," says MISAKA, amazed.
They said that the product wasn't quite ready for sale, but they're still pretty good.
"Even if it wasn't ready for sale..."
"MISAKA thinks this chick's life was..."
What are you getting zappy for?
What the hell are you two doing?
M-Misaka...
"MISAKA came here to take back the goggles that were stolen from her," says MISAKA—
"Forget that, those frogs are amazing," says MISAKA, ending the topic.
Hey!
Explain things to the end!
Besides, you shouldn't be here...
Hey, what are those? Lemme see.
"Onee-sama should just keep drooling over those frogs," denies MISAKA coldly.
Come on, I'm just going to take a look.
"If you want to see them so badly, just have that person buy them like he did for me," states MISAKA, pointing at the person in question.
That person?
If I recall correctly, you were the guy who lost and had to listen to my every demand as punishment, right?
The punishment isn't over yet, so stop flirting!
Are you that much into the "sister" thing?!
"By the way, what are you doing here, Onee-sama?" asks MISAKA, beginning her interrogation.
Well, we had a match during the Daihaseisai.
And then I won, so I'm dragging him around.
So, uh...
"In other words, you can't be honest to yourself?" asks MISAKA, analyzing the information.
What kind of analysis would lead you to that?!
There's no ulterior motives to what I'm doing!
Besides, what's the point of being honest with him?!
"I see."
"Then MISAKA will try walking down a different path from the original."
"Ta-da," says MISAKA as she shows off the piece of jewelry he bought for her.
"MISAKA tries hugging him from the other side, too!" says MISAKA as MISAKA joins in on the fun!
"MISAKA"? Wait...
You mean she's a sister of the sister?!
Serial number 20001.
"You sure have guts, showing up in front of MISAKA," says MISAKA as she subtly switches to full-power mode.
"MISAKA got bored of that game already," says MISAKA as MISAKA goes looking for new sources of entertainment!
"I won't let you escape this time," says MISAKA as she pulls a rifle from her bag.
"That sure is a crappy ‘full-power mode' you got there!" says MISAKA as MISAKA tries mocking her enemy!
"I haven't gone all-out just yet," says MISAKA as she makes the final transformation to MISAKA full-booster mode.
What?
The underground shopping center?
There were inaudible constant-frequency sound waves for tracing that we extracted out of the message, right?
They came from Area U, which is the underground shopping center.
And you want me to go there?
For now.
But we don't really know if that hyperactive kid is still there or not.
Hey, Accelerator.
What?
Is showing goodwill towards others really that scary?
The hell?
You seem to have accepted Last Order's goodwill, you're afraid to reciprocate her.
Are you afraid of screwing up and being unable to fix it?
Are you lecturing me?
Well, I suppose that I can't really understand your darkness.
Especially because of the place you were in long ago.
The Special Ability Institute?
"Special Ability Holders Multiple Alteration Technologies Research Institute."
I was kept there until I was nine.
It was a facility used for disposing live people.
You've probably at least heard rumors.
My unit was responsible for dismantling it.
Oh, boy. Thanks.
I've seen them.
Lying around on the other side of a heavy door.
I was nothing but a monster, even in that institute.
I'm sure you've heard of it from Yoshikawa.
About what I did in those experiments.
There's no way I could show goodwill to anyone.
Yet, you're sick of yourself, aren't you?
This is a rule I made for myself:
I will never point a weapon at a child.
Even if they're an esper.
Do you know why?
That's exactly it.
It's probably nothing compared to what you have to face.
But the fact that we're heavily indebted to others is the same.
So no matter how painful it is, there's no choice but to pay back as much as possible.
And unlike me, you have strength.
There are many doors that are open to you.
What if I used my strength to stop the experiment?
What if I helped those Sisters who walked to their death?
What if it's not too late?
What if...
Retarded.
That feeling you have will eventually pay back your debt.
Bullshit.
Is this the one we were alerted about?
That's an impressive holographic projection.
Seriously, man.
What a well-done prank.
Let's contact HQ and get a list of the espers who might be involved.
Man, I don't get it anymore.
You stupid idiot!
Is that how important a promise is to you?!
I don't get it.
I don't get it, but...
Such misfortune.
"Why are you dropping your shoulders so wearily?" asks MISAKA as MISAKA...
clings to your back as a therapeutic mascot!
Hey!
You're that… mini-Misaka?
Touma...
What the heck's this?
So, I was looking for Touma,
but then I got so hungry so—
Don't talk with your mouth full.
And don't you have anything to say to me?
Yeah!
Thanks!
That's it?
My name's Index!
That sure is one messy face to introduce yourself with.
Have you seen a brat like this anywhere?
Nope.
That was fast.
I never forget a face once I've seen it.
Thank you so much though!
Now I can search for Touma without worrying about food!
Well, now that I'm full,
there's probably less reason to search for him anyway...
Is that so?
Too bad I won't be helping you.
Go bug someone else.
Are you busy?
Yeah. Very busy, unfortunately.
So, you're basically like... a sort of "host computer" for the other Sisters?
"Well, more like a console rather than a host," says MISAKA as MISAKA tries clarifying.
"There's no ‘core' to the MISAKA network, so there's no need for one particular individual to act as a hub,"
says MISAKA as MISAKA attempts to proudly puff her chest out while lecturing.
"Actually, I came here to thank you for your help during that experiment,"
says MISAKA as MISAKA puts on "The Grateful Crane" pose.
So why are you really here?
"You didn't believe me!" says MISAKA as MISAKA tries stomping the ground in anger, and waves her hands around because she can't stop!
Sorry, sorry! My bad!
Look, I'll buy you some popcorn!
So forgive me, okay?
"You think you can sway a girl's delicate feelings with food?" says MISAKA as MISAKA tries frowning in disappointment.
You see, Touma's always leaving me behind and running off somewhere.
I think he's some sort of closet nomad...
He's always finding himself suddenly caught up traveling somewhere.
By the way, what are you doing here?
Looking for someone.
The girl in that picture?
Yeah, so what?
Oh yeah, I haven't repaid you for the meal yet.
Whatever, just shut up and go home, you damn brat.
I haven't repaid you for the meal yet.
Don't just ignore what I say!
That girl from the picture, right?
How about I help you look for her until I find Touma?
Okay?
Little shithead.
"You know..."
"MISAKA ran off with this!" says MISAKA as MISAKA tries boasting of her loot.
You relax a little and then announce you're a bandit?
Wait, aren't those the goggles MISAKA's sister was looking for?
"This wasn't made for MISAKA though, so I can't wear it right..."
says MISAKA as MISAKA tries to seem a bit downcast.
Can't you just adjust the length of the headband?
A-Are you okay?
I kind of feel like I've seen her before...
But I feel like she's too small...
Yeah, I guess I don't know her after all.
Then give it back, you useless little brat!
There, done!
"This fits MISAKA perfectly now!" says MISAKA as MISAKA tries expressing her gratitude.
"But the cost of this achievement was definitely not small," says MISAKA as MISAKA remembers but tries spinning around in happiness anyway.
Yeah, sure.
"Um... MISAKA has to go back soon," says MISAKA as MISAKA regretfully informs you.
Ah, yeah. I guess it's time.
"I actually wanted to stay with you longer," says MISAKA as MISAKA becomes sad.
"We may have met here by accident, but I really did want to thank you," says MISAKA as MISAKA speaks from her heart.
"But he's probably getting worried..."
"He"?
"If I'm too late, he might come looking for me,"
"and I don't want to cause trouble for him," says MISAKA as MISAKA smiles.
He sounds like a good guy.
"He's weak..."
"He's been hurt so much that not only was he unable to protect what he held in his hands, but he even wore them out in the process."
"That's why I don't want to strain him anymore."
"This time MISAKA will be the one who protects him!" says MISAKA as MISAKA tries an honest declaration.
I see.
Ah, it's Touma!
The guy you're looking for?
Yeah!
Ah.
Go.
But what about you?
Don't worry, I just found her.
I'm off, then.
Thank you!
Last Order!
Touma!
"I'm back!" says MISAKA as MISAKA does her usual greeting—
Ow!
"Why are you hitting me and not saying anything?" asks MISAKA as MISAKA covers her head and tries to pretend crying.
What were you doing all this time?
"Having fun!" says MISAKA as MISAKA tries answering honestly.
Hey, Touma!
I finally found you!
Why are you here?
Well, that person there saved me when I was in danger!
Which person?
Accelerator!
If you don't hurry, I'll leave you behind!
Such a noisy little brat.
