[Mikoto visits Touma at his school]

Mikoto decide to do the unthinkable and visit the idiot at his school to get from him some answers. Doing her research and hacking, It was hardly time for the middle-high school day to be over on A Certain High School. Of course, she runs into their Lilliputian homeroom teacher for Year 1 Class 7, a 30+year old Komoe Tsukuyomi sensei; and mistakes her for a little girl playing to be a teacher. Treating this possibility as a game for little teacher's helper; Misaka, pulling Komoe like a little girl, they set out to find a certain troubled student. In contrast, Komoe look devastated that this Tokiwadai girl dint even considered that she can be an actual teacher, or an adult.

Of course, they find him in his class together with his classmates, where he was diligently working on his homework, which according to his past experience, if he dint do it them now he will not had time to do them at home or such. So he using the breaks between classes. Aogami Pierce, somehow the class representative, give him forecast/prediction that his honest diligence, will bite back at him.

There is no doubt that the arrival of a high-class middle school girl, leading or be led by Komoe by holding hands, caused a (kawaii?) uproar among those present. Seeing her target, Tokiwadai student apologized to (little girl?), for the inconvenience and thanked her for help, aiding her here. Then she said that Komoe chan didn't have to go with her among these hooligans. After confirming if she could make it from here on her own, she said goodbye to Komoe and set out for her goal.

Misaka still didn't realize what actually that uproar means in this specific class, that they beloved home teacher of this class arrived, (because no one else mentioned it). That same can be said about Kamijou, because he dint rise his head from his work. So she just skip the pleasantries to anybody else, only making a slight hello gesture, and walk toward him. Komoe, still desperately tried to explain, but Tokiwadai girl don't listen, so the little one was left there with big empty eyes. Of course the classmates were moved to tears how cute and innocent they teacher look.

.

She caught up with Kamijou who was (secretly?) or rather desperately trying to finish his homework. She stood up to him and he stiffened, but try to force himself to continue. She literally said that she was demanding his time, trying her best to ignore the colorful snide comments from his classmates. After a short exchange of words, she sighed, sat down on the free chair in front of him (Himegami's place), as if waiting for him to finish. It toke her only short moment to peaking onto his results until she frown not satisfied by what he was putting down. She took his homework and pen out of his hands, leaned above the desk and started filling the answer herself in shocking speed. She know all the answers, whatever the question category was.

Everybody saw that, especially the duo that followed that Tokiwadai girl. Kamijou had a defeated look on his face as he looked up at Komoe and Himegami, standing by his desk and they were looking at him coldly. "For the record, I tried to do it myself."

It was the brow-haired visitor who reply to him, that he shouldn't even trying if he is this bad on it. Not noticing the two observer or ignoring them; Mikoto slapped the paper with his housekeeper which he should have do himself in front of him, claiming that she did it to him like before. Komoe's eyes widened immediately. Because a tears rushed into the little one eyes, as she lamented that Kamijou kun will stay stupid for rest of his life; Mikoto tried to cheer up tearing girl with her bis sister charm, that she will take care about this dumb-dumb. Jet this tsundere dint get yet, what that line means for adolescent or adult. It caused for the unlucky boy a big trouble, as he start swearing heavily from that hungry wolf pack like stare from the rest of the class of common folk, how lucky for him to be in grace of a wealthy young lady.

What's more, Misaka (irritated by the stares from others), blurted out something that could be interpreted as suggesting/ordering him to leave the class and go with her.

Aogami mentioned that her asking him to ditch the class so bluntly, its like when bourgeoisie pressure exploit hard work of a peasant.

Tsuchimikado couldn't take it anymore and announced to the whole class that a new era had arrived when theirs unlucky companion in arms, is troubled when battle princes acting as his fighter-class girlfriend, personally came to pick him up from school, for a quest of love. The whole class erupted into chaos. Mikoto blushed in shock.

Somewhere there should have been a scene, where Himegami fell down on all fours and Komoe reassured her that she still had a fighting chance to found a romance one day. But she on spot reply in dry voice; "That comment was a too cruel, sensei."

.

At this moment, Yomikawa Aiho, the legendary anti-skill officer, lured by the commotion, also arrived at scene, in her gym teacher uniform.

Mikoto mistakes her for the homeroom teacher and tries to impress her with her charm, trying to lure Kamijou out of the class.

Except the laughing Yomikawa realized what the girl was talking about. Therefore, she undertook to explain the misunderstanding. She place her palms under Komoe armpits, and lifted her up, to redirect focus on this tiny person. "However it may seem, this (One of the seven wonders of a certain high school) miracle here is older than you or anybody in this class of fools. And her role is?:" She placed that person on Kamijou's table like some kind of idol. "Ta da~a! She's the homeroom teacher of this class."

Misaka winced in surprise. "You're kidding?!" as the rest of the class celebrated.

Komoe objected to her colleague. "Hey! You're having too much fun! Tune it down! Can't you see what's going on here? It's causing chaos in my class!"

But grinning black-haired woman didn't give up: "Oh, common!; You know pretty well, that I have two of those at home, and they're blast of fun!" She gave an OK thumbs up. "That boy has really got out of his comfort place to keep them at bay. Plus they like to interact with him. If this visit it's about him, let's call him for a word of advice." She took out her phone and called him. She immediately put the phone on speakerphone.

.

A disgruntled Accelerator spoke into the airwaves: "Who shall I kill?"

That one line, make the Kamijou-Misaka duo to flinch, knowing that this guy do no make a jokes about that.

Yet Yomikawa continue smiling brightly. "Nothing bring up the conversation, that straight forward set up of a mood, by putting own heart on open palm. On second hand, I hope you dint start every conversation, by this punch line. But that's a personal taste. Ask; which Misaka showed at school today?"

.

Yet he was not a fan of that idea? "Hey Yomikawa, when did I become a caretaker to care about that information?"

Mikoto tried to persuade the teacher, that she actually don't need anything from that one, and only here for this idiot here.

But as the call was on speaker, Accelerator heard that a clicked his tongue, because just from analyzing the voice pattern he knew who it was. "Tcs! Its Number-three, and I was starting thinking what forced one of the brats to level up they brain damage. Some people have brains for this kind of degenerate shit and some don't. If this is some kind of pro level teacher tactic for socializing, I don't bite! Tell that weakling to find someone who is actually fond to say a bed tales before beauty sleep. But if its advice you seek, I heard something about leaflet. Go grab that!" Then he just hang down.

In contrast both of the main audience averted they faces with an awkward expression, as if they know exactly what he talking about. But both of them got burned, by shenanigans that surrounding this leaflet.

Finally, a strict teacher with glasses appeared, attracted by the chaos in this class. As soon as she noticed Misaka, she immediately switched her attention to her, saying that Tokiwadai didn't say that they would send someone here to inspect and she immediately objected, saying that this school is not suitable for high-born ladies, to the point that she would need an escort to not get spoiled by locals. She talked and talked until Mikoto soured with a sour smile at the fact that this one wouldn't listen to her. What's more, she pulled her out of that class to do a proper inspection suitable for screening by Tokiwadai.

[Fate photo]

(During the Saturday show?) (During the hall performance?) Commentator Saten noticed something to sticking out from Kanzaki's pants back pocket. So she make a sneaky move and pulled a photo from there. Of course she was not secretive about looking at it. In that photo, there is a laughing (Younger-small?) Index plus Kanzaki with a stiff smile. (Perhaps even Stiyl was behind the photo camera.)

In a panic, the Saint grab the hilt of her katana. With a single click of the katana (a quick short draw and sheathing, just to make the blade blink), the air trembled, something invisible sliced the air. And she cuts this photo into scraps in a second. Frightened Saten, ended up on the ground on her ass in a panic, and there are mysterious grooves in the parquet around her. But Index, who having a photographic memory still saw what was in the photo and started asking that she don't recollecting about event captured on that image. Of course Kanzaki panicked, to point she gesticulated strongly, but failed forming any useful lines, as the girl for which she act as guardian for three years stared at her, silently demanding an explanation.

.

[Mikoto and Maika Tsuchimikado]

Misaka is investigating and while she is on it she stops by Maika. But this maid in training puts one and two together and starts teasing the lady in servant style. It come to point where, this lady in pursue of answers, (actually in pursue of love as side quest), is (processed enough)/ (prepared enough) by the maid, for the servant to deliver the punch line. She tried to look innocent when she looked up, thinking aloud, with a finger on her chin in a thinking gesture. "Perhaps it's not my dummy brother you're interested in. Unless….would the person in question be someone-- who lives right next door? Like someone-- who complains about his bad luck that surrounds him every day? To extent that's one of his punch lines?" With a corner of her eye, she saw how the lady's body language speaking quite loudly about how much is Misaka interested to hear more. "Hmm. Its nearly about time, I shall visit my good-for nothing brother and restock his fridge. And if I am correct, the boy next door and the nun, shall get loudly from the sheer desperation to find a new recipe for the monotonous hill of food stock type, winning price they obtained. Hmm. It will be nice if bring them something to break that monotony for a while. But I have only two hand, and shopping bags will get heavy quite soon. Only if there will be someone who will give me a helping hand, to do a side charity. People tend to lose a lock on tongue during a nice home made meal."

Slightly Blushing Mikoto, know that the maid teasing her, but she was at mercy of Maika, so she lightly bark, as she averted her face. "I get it! A new volume of mange. The one with a love interest between brother and sister." She referred to they previous interaction.

Maid beam up with a big warm happy smile, rising her hand high up, like a student who wants to reply on question. "I know me well."

[Later on shop:]

When clerk address Mikoto for buying the manga at a store, and clerk comment on that. "No! Its not actually for me. Its a bribery for a clever mounted maid. Hmm. But you are onto something. I normally don't mind to do those small errands. But maybe I shall brought the entire thing online on library amount and just let it delivered to them so they can have a peace of heaven right next door. Like you expect to enter an other student dormitory room, but instead its a forbidden library with relaxation material."

A different smiling Maid with dewy face, stood behind her, addressing that Tokiwadai girl. "Young lady, please! Never punish a pet by, over feeding it with a treats. Its not healthy for body and mind, resulting in farts, and less work will be done. Please, remember that as lady you have duty not just keep your body and mind in fit condition."

.

.

[Mikoto and obvious Ninja]

This one was meant as a short side gig, during the collab talk in restaurant or in the food stands underground area, but it fallen out.

So the group are siting on table and talking. Mikoto, looking kinda bored, was repeatedly hinted the presence of ninjas. "...I mean… We have ninjas, here."

She repeated it few times until the childlike female ninja snap and bark, because the entire thing for ninja is a secrecy and deception and this sounded like a provocation, that the Level-five know. "Could you please, stop?!"

Yet brunette glanced in that little one direction as if she was fishing and the fish bite. "How did you sneak here?"

Ninja gritted, show her angry teeth at esper, as if she was insulted. "I… Participated…"

Jet that tsundere averted her gaze, before she can explained. "And I already don't care." That make that one furious, for be looking down.

.

.

[Mikoto and Heavy load]

After another wild chase, panting Shokuhou using Misaka's back to support herself, she lean forward her entire blossom, even placing one of her hands on Mikoto shoulder to prevent slipping, even if it not help at all, if the brunette dint lean forward for few degrees. First though of Railgun was to drop that honey-blonde from her back because she was painting so loudly and so on. But that prankster was actually so out of breath, that hardly had any time to be a black hearten fox.

Shirai have an issue with that, but Shokuhou say that the tiny doggy is too weak to carry her around.

The student council president duo show up and saw how honey blonde leaning on brunette, so they do the same and Blonde lean on black-haired from behind, pressing her extra large cargo on certain back, melting that cold personality expression of her roommate with a big warm smile.

Flat Shirai take it as provocation.

Then Dolly show up with Mitori. And the long-brown-haired, copy cat the other two pairs, while making a flirting comment. Red cheeks Mitori barked back that she will not forgive Dolly, if she is only trolling her. And then Dolly make a question if they shall start booking the big bed of Misaki chan, or if she prefer the cozy size of the side room bed. That comment from happy smile make the black haired version of Shirai to blush violently.

Of course Misaka whit Shokuhou, make a ""Hey!!"" warning in sync. Both of the pair disengage, and busty blonde and long haired brunette smiled amused, while both black-haired girls, feels like they were a target for a prank. But when they all glanced at the level-five duo, it nearly look like they agreed that its too early for those two, to break the ice.

Except red-head was not entertained at all.

.

.

[A date proposal from honey bee for a lightning fox.]

Re-imagine the scene at the gates to Tokiwadai or the square with the fountain between the gate and the main entrance to the school building. As soon as the electro-master duo, the Misaka sisters, passed the gate and walked a little to the center, a schoolmates approached them. Inoue and Mikoto each, received a quite big bouquets of flowers, that was forced into they hands. But with this in they hands, they kinda looks like graduates at the closing ceremony at the very end of school year.

There are a lot of onlookers and some standing girls are excited like fans seeing a celebrity, when Mikoto and Inoue walk towards the entrance. One specific group is standing by the front door and they, so to speak, standing by the side pillar, are watching them with enthusiasm.

First one is with shining eyes. "Unreal! Misaka is really like Hime sama. [princess]."

But second hiss. "Pssst, we shouldn't be talking about it out loud."

First one got confused. "Oh? Why? Shirai-san isn't here right now."

And third one give a little bit of light onto the topic. "I don't think she meant Misaka's roommate when she said that. Its about the… you know..."

Yet Another voice, a sweet one, entered they little chat from behind them. "She didn't really be bothered if you will talk about it between yourselves." Shokuhou stood behind them and they froze. No, these girls were puffed up, and soon the entire square was puffed up as the Tokiwadai Queen walked the few meters and stepped in front of the Tokiwadai Ace.

.

Trying to appear charming, she spoke up. "Misaka-san, I would appreciate, it if you would accept my invitation to eat at a restaurant outside the garden. There is something important we need to discuss."

Jet Railgun rise her guard. "Why should I? Why such a change of attitude. Shared meal, suspicious."

The surrounding crowd got too excited. Yet there was no excitement on Inoue Emo face.

.

Honey blonde seems to be bothered by the stubbornness of the other Level-five. "I would like it, if the girls didn't take it so openly as an invitation to a date. But what am I going to do with you? Its not like you will be bombarded with invitations from left and right. Still, I insist on having this conversation in private, without those pesky eyes. But to do as you wish, maybe we can go to your place. Or for this time, somewhere where you will be comfortable. For me? it is doesn't matter, if its not against my strict diet."

For a little moment Mikoto imagined to hang with Misaki. "Eh, no thanks, I guess I'll skip it."

The girls standing by became sad.

Except Inoue who meanwhile, got interested by the flower bucket in her hands. She got interested by the nice smell of actually fresh-fresh flowers from the Tokiwadai garden. So she buried her face onto them, to take a deep inhale. Then something surprised her and she rise her head from them. She had a lady bug on tip of her nose, and she tried to focus her eye sight on that little thing. But in few seconds, that bug spread its wings and take off. Inoue with hardly any (Oh?) expression track that flying off insect into a distance.

Both level-five's noticed that, and even if they dint say anything, it was like (Okay, that's cute.)

.

But five seconds later, Dolly show up on the square, wearing a civilian clothing and a beret hat on her head. She joined a group standing at side. In contrast to elegance of ladies, she give up a cheer-leader vibe, when she started chanting, waving a hastily assembled makeshift flag. (What childish drawing was on that flag? A Heart?, a lightning and a honey?) Happy face, shouted toward the center of action. "Misaki cha~an!!; don't give up!! Go for it! Fight! Fight!" She was quickly a center of attention. There was this black-haired double tail girl, who was trying to cover her blushing face with her own beret. But it was not clear, if she was dying from embarrassment or hardly containing her laughing.

The blonde began to sweat profusely as the mirror image of Misaka called out to her. She could barely maintain a forced smile, while addressing miss original. "Please, let me rephrase my request. Let's talk somewhere private where the roses can't eavesdrop. It's important. Also, I will start blame, for any next nonsense that will rise from your delaying."

.

.

[Mikoto blackmails Shokuhou]

Mikoto frown at Blonde. "Shall I mentioned that time, when you tried to talk to me for some ulterior motive? You tried so hard, to look dignified, as you approached me with a rehearsal classy step. But you still managed, to trip over your own foot on a perfectly normal floor at our school. You fell flat face forward like a body pillow and injured your ankle. However, after you get up, while you looked like a someone caught in her own prank, you suddenly used a Mental-out to erase the event from the minds of everyone who could be watching. But then, you realized that I am the only person around and so you whined that you couldn't move properly and begged me, that I shall accompanied you to the infirmary. You requested that I shall carry you on my back because it was impossible for you to crawl there by yourself. And the biggest annoyance came when you started acting like a little kid, when the nurse wanted to give you an injection there..."

Misaki jump, interrupting brunette monologue by frustrated shout. "Shaddaaaap i get it!!" [Shut up, I got it!!]

.

.

[Farewell flowers]

During a normal visit of the infirmary, Level-fives still holding onto the flowers. Shokuhou seeing a Shirai on bed, noted a question, if they shall turn the flower buckets onto a flower wreath. The one that's was giving on certain occasion. Because the doctor clearly imagine the funeral option, and the duo actually consider that, she put her foot down to stop them. It was one thing if that first year; after awake will saw the flowers, first thing they are for good health, then realize its for funeral. But it was other thing, when she will found out it was from her roommate itself. Plus it was the other level-five who come up with that. A stress relief prank can easily cause an unnecessary complication on Judgment girl mental health by hurting her young maiden hearth and extra work for this infirmary.

.

.

[A hugger]

Misaka Worst is hugged by Misaka Misuzu... No! That mommy showered that rebelling girl with love and snuggling. But adolescent girl, dint like that affectionate approach. In contrast she dint use any of her power of physical strength to get away from the woman as if she was trapped emotionally or such. So when that clone saw Tokiwadai Ace, she urgently called for Railgun to help her, with hint of anger in her voice. "Hey Miss Original!! Help me!!"

But in contrast, when Mikoto saw the situation, the contrast between (Get off me!) Worst and (Give me a love!) Misuzu, especially when both give Tokiwadai girl (What will you do?) stare from different perspective; Railgun just stood there without reaction.

Worst got angry. "Why do you not helping me?!!"

Yet Mikoto reply dry. "I mean, the fastest way is to give mom something else to hug. But…" She averted gaze, subconsciously scanning surrounding, until she discarded the idea of change. "You will be fine." Not even for second Railgun, dint considered to switch places with Worst.

That girl growl at original fully aware of that. And mommy giggled, already planned to give her lighting princess a warm hug, later.

.

.

[Quintuplets in the park]

In the park there are 5 girls with the same face. Railgun (for some reason, (I forgot)), facing certain direction and four sister standing behind her. As the story progress, like by flipping a page to a new one, the sisters standing behind Tokiwadai Ace grinned loudly. 'Heh!'

Mikoto was offended. "I don't even have to turn around to know what this is about. But when I do, you can be sure of what's coming." She threatened them, to cut that teasing. Except her sisters had clever tongues.

"Yes, Onee-sama will try to make a funny skit."

"Yes, an attempt at a funny skit performed by Onee-sama."

"Misaka defuses this bomb early on, unhappy that she doesn't have the necessary Onee-sama defuse kit, which should be in her basic equipment."

"Mi… Misaka... sighs…" And she do the (I gave up!) sight.

Tsundere turn around as she stomped the pavement road, barking at them. "Hey!!"

.

.

[The sisters barks like a dogs]

Do you know the situation when you have a pack of puppies and they are all barking (Hey, I am here!) to get attention of a human? Or just that they are happy.

That same appeared in front of Mikoto when facing her sisters. Imoto(s) [younger sister] seemed to bark like dogs on purpose. However, the rhythmic sound they emitted from their mouths was not barking or a different version of the word (Bau!/ Haf!), but the word (Hey!) itself. Mikoto found herself facing the trickling party calling out hey at random intervals in a relatively random direction. ("Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey! Hey!")

In contrast to loving dog mommy, the big sister side show on Railgun, as she had a single sweat drop on cheek and (I don't get it!) expression. "What are you doing?"

"Onee-sama compared Misaka's situation to puppies. So Misaka completes the scenery."

Mikoto make a desperate short laugh, realizing that she walk on this one, by her own comments.

.

.

[Nee chan and Onii chan] (Big sister and Big bro.)

Mikoto is accompanied by her faithful Kuroko, when suddenly a little girl rushes up to them, calling out to her excitedly.

"One Chan!! One Chan!!"

The brunette remembered that it was the little one she saved from the graviton bomb hidden in the stuffed animal. Respectively, they were both saved by a certain idiot with spiky hair. "Oh it's you…"

.

"Hey, hey, Onee-chan when are you and Onii chan finally getting married?" [Kamijou] Little one asked as if it was a matter of course a long time ago and she is just waiting for the announcement of the date when the wedding guests are supposed to meet.

Either way, the two Tokiwadai students were completely taken aback. Especially Shirai blued up in terror.

.

"I want to be your bridesmaid who will scatter flower petals in front of you as you walk to the altar to Onii chan."

Mikoto tries to say something to stop the little one's fantasies, but she can't find the right words.

.

"Wait, Onee-chan, are you telling me?; that you already married? Oh common! How could you? I really wanted to be your bridesmaid." She puffed up her cheeks. "In that case, I must at least be the godmother of your baby together."

The brunette blushed at the thought. On the other hand, a heart attack tried to kill the redhead.

[Note:] Somehow this note got lost before being inserted or referenced in the episode in the hub. Probably is obsoleted. But I dint mentioned the baby.

.

.

[Secret Message]

Inoue presented the papers in front of Mikoto. (In no-enthusiast voice tone, monotone/flatness:) "Ta-da~a!" It is that leaflet that burned in Kukoo hand. "Here's the report you've been looking for, One sama. Inoue says triumphantly."

Railgun was surprised when she looked at the papers. "What? How did you managed to get you hands on it?"

.

"Misaka also went to that store with the lacrosse team to investigate. While doing so, she focused on details that Onee-sama might have overlooked. Misaka found that the photocopier present was used to copy that report. After I explained to them that I was Imoto and not a big sister, they allowed me to examine the machine. I pulled out the last printing task from memory of what was being printed and by chance, it was the mentioned report. Misaka in her magnanimity printed a copy not only for the athletes, but also for Misaka herself. My intervention was a great success when no one there thought that for the solution to this problem was to select the given command on the copier panels. Inoue triumphantly raises the OK-Thumb as a sign of victory in that uneven harsh battle."

"What kind of battle are you talking about? With a copier? Or the so called employees? (I'd rather not develop it!)" How she wanted to take the message in her hands…

.

But... the unthinkable happened and a higher intervention caused the message to be destroyed. [Insert random nonsense here that made it impossible for Mikoto to learn what was in the message.]

There was a moment of silence as the two sisters exchanged glance.

Then the younger one spoke up. "Onee-sama, Misaka is obliged to inform you, that as she was hipped up from the victory in that store arena, she delayed her intention to read the obtained report."

.

The realization hits as Mikoto's eyes hectically raced around, until the steam hit the lit and she make an outburst scream. "What is this!!? A chain Canadian joke!!? Stop making fun of me!!!" When she calmed down, she turn toward, her clone. "Did you say Lacrosse girls have one more copy?"

Yet this mirror image waved her hand in (Denied!) gesture. "Give it up Onee-sama, the business has already moved on. They had already packing when Misaka visited. Plus its a common practice for a tech company, to give a factory reset to all electronic equipment, that was rented altogether with the shop slot by rent company."

.

There was another moment of silence as those two stared at each other. Then Mikoto calmly stated her question. "Don't you think, that those happenstances are suspiciously convenient?"

"Saying a person, who frown if the obstacle in front of her is not a challenge at all. And whats the point to give a self-destruct property to a random paper used in printer copy?"

.

.

[Billboard - Behind the heroes]

Eventually, Mikoto comes across the hyped billboard... Digital in extra size. Literally everybody who glanced that direction must see it.

It's like a shot from the express TV news network, what's happening right now, what is the hot topic on Academy city. It was a shot from that island. On it, a certain group, standing on the beach in a line next to each other, looking out over a lake marked with ruins from those meteors and such. A high-tech combat helicopter hovers over the lake itself. In the lower part of billboard, there is a panel and its header says: "Party on the fifth level". Underneath that, there are headlines from which she caught just the fact, that the invited VIP guests party so wild and so much, that they demolished the park to the point, that it needed a general repairs and overhaul. In short, local authorities closed it indefinitely after the opening day.

.

.

[Mikoto investigating? Statement from witness Index]

PS: (Originally, Sunday was supposed to be about something else and Mikoto found out what Kuroko was doing on Saturday and how she managed to (recruit?) performers for the Tokiwadai Festival. This is actually the scene that was supposed to be shown when Mikoto asked Index and platinum blonde told her this story. But it dint fit, so take it as alternative version.)

Kuroko noticed a group of suspicious people. This group included a modern-day samurai with long black hair and an extra-long katana, a red-haired priest in black robes and a barcode-shapped tattoo under his eye, a small nun with silver-white hair complete with a pure white nun's robe and gold trim, a blonde lad with dark sun glasses and an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt. But the red-head detective's attention fell on a frail-looking gentleman (ape) with spiky hair.

She approached them. "I hate it, but I have to ask for your help. So whatever you do, save it for later and come with me to the Tokiwadai Dormitory!"

.

Image Breaker was about to object, but the blond dude stopped him. "Stop Kami chan! It's pointless running around the city when they're hiding to avoid contact with you. This is perfect! A popular public event is about to start at their dormitory. Coincidentally, the name of a celebrity you know well is featured as the main character. In addition this red thorny flower is the main organizer. If we manage to pump up their show, it will suddenly reach the most important events not only for the day and the district, but also for the whole week and the city."

The priest took a drag on his cigarette. "So you're saying we're going to take their own destabilization trick and turn it into our stabilization trick. I don't think that's going to be enough for them to panic and launch that early."

Blonde: "Of course not, today they are just analyzing the defense. Apart from the skirmishes, their main attack will not come. But imagine the pressure it will cause if this event ends without problems. Letting such a perfect attack target slip away will definitely make them nervous and they will be more prone to mistakes. All we have to do is show them VIP faces and they will tear their hair out."

Kanzaki: "Shut up Tsuchimikado, you don't expect me to participate in some girly middle school play? I need mobility, not publicity!"

Blondie: "Nee-chin putting you on stage would be like throwing down the gauntlet of a challenge. The crowds would eat it up and the headlines would read, (The most powerful samurai does exist!) No worries! They'll definitely try something nefarious to cause panic, so stay somewhere high up and watch things from above. Just keep their eyes on us and let's leave the tracking to Akamusa."

Kanzaki: "You want to involve the whole temple in this carnival?"

Suddenly Tsuchimikado was serious. "Nee-chin, how many festivals have you really attended? I mean actively,-- among people,-- having fun at the attractions. Not just eating dango, alone?" [Rice Dumpling, flavored.]

The swordswoman averted her disapproving gaze in distress.

Index: "Analysis of the current situation is complete." Said the nun who had been looking at the sky all the time. "The formula will not be in a usable state for one to two days. There is still room for an additional input of reinforcement or slight acceleration. However, in the current distribution of game elements and placement of game pieces, it is not likely to destroy the formula before its activation. Available counter move may not have enough effect to perform the first cycle. However, the formula will self-destruct. I can guarantee that it will become unstable after that. It will not reach the surface, however there will be a feedback loop on a large scale."

Stiyl: "At least one, maybe more." 'Tcs' The priest clicked his tongue in displeasure. "Waiting for the other side to attack isn't my style. However, I'll be calmer as long as the sight of our calm faces is unnerving. Then they might cross the line and destroy themselves."

Index switched to normal. "Touma, I'm hungry, food!"

Whereupon the named person began to lament. "This sounded blatantly wrong. Do nobody bother to consider that we maybe over thinking it, and all they want is that citadel? Literally?"

Tsuchimikado grinned. "Then all you must to do, is to enjoin a festival food."

Because he make a gesture to Shirai, she quickly grab the opportunity. "If you participate, I can guarantee a ton of food." Kuroko spoke up, listening to them in silence, sharpened like a policeman waiting for an excuse to arrest them.

Index with sparkling eyes immediately stood up in front of Tokiwadai girl. She take the initiative to shook her hand with the Kuroko, causing Touma to think aloud that this amount would last them two months.

Kuroko was most polite. "I can't tell, but it seems to me that the alleged fall of the bulletin boards and your conversation have some connection. Would you be so kind as to fill me in?"

"Very happy." The blond grinned. "However, your mistress might turn gray if she knew, what trouble you want to soak it in, while all eyes staring at her. Or if you want my original slap across the finger, then leave the work in the shadows to someone who is used to working in the shadows. You are better suited for the light side anyway."

Shirai gave him a skeptical look. "Not entering the night side and staying on the day side. I think I understand a bit. But how do you want to move without the light side getting in the way?"

Blondie: "I have a solution for that too! These tapes are quite useful." He tugged at her green shoulder strap, armband that announced her Judgment affiliation to the world. A wave of resentment arose, not only from Kuroko but also from his colleagues. "So that we don't seem like random bent fence planks, we're going to appear like purposefully bent fence planks." He got some strange looks for that remark. "Let's take the referees for example. Clearly marked with red tapes, everyone is watched, no one notices them until they force their attention. Completely different from the green ones from Judgment. Let's say that we mark the players in yellow and the staff in another. That way it will be relatively easy for them to lose their guard if they try to disguise themselves as a role. Of course, such a split adds stability when blue is clear for Anti-Skill."

Stiyl: "Bullshit. I'm taking those colors as references for the formula, but it'll be all the more tempting for the next strike or skirmish. On top of all that, you want to put the Index of Forbidden Books in the very center. Do you want me to incinerate you, right now, right here?"

Index stomp with impatience: "Aaaah! Enough talking! I'm hungry! Touma, let's go get that ton of food right now!"

Touma: "Why is the statement so detailed and why does a certain person have a special attitude towards others."

At the end of the story, Mikoto has a sour note that she don't need a word to word replica, and the index replies: "Short hair, you wanted to know exactly what happened. So don't complain!"

[Mikoto investigating? Statement from witness Accelerator]

As always he radiating the typical bad boy aura. (Annoyed 'hee?') "What the hell do you want from me? Listen #3, I'm sick of your bullshit. Occult?, magic?, paranormal shit?, all that crap that doesn't have an Esper label is just an alternative system to Esper system. That's also an alternative to something else. If you try to use your little brain, you too can see the patterns in their movement. Ley-lines, Telesma thanks to that neuron, it will click to you that magicians not only use energies in themselves, but in other things. Like in the landscape and even in references or words. If we take basic physics, chemistry and other retarded rules as one set of laws... Add to that all the shit around the Esper label as the second set of laws they use, you will literally get another set of laws. I used the song myself once, using it as the third set. They literally told me that according to science it should not have been possible. But mind you, during that cheating I,-- ended up in a pool of my own blood,-- just by using that set. Remember #3, use something you're not built for and you'll cough up blood. Now frag-off [get out], I'm not in the mood to explain anything further."

"Eh, that wasn't even close to answering my question."

[Solitary note:]

Someone imagined the Accelerator as a stomach ulcer.

[Accelerator advises Misaka about cookies]

Probably a reference to the scene with the jury and certain cookies.

"How do I get him to taste my cookies? Misaka asks, expecting some actionable advice."

"Huh? Why are you asking me such a stupid question?! Run your tongue down his throat before you ask him!"

[Saten and Fremea]

Let's say that Saten doesn't know about Fremea Seivelun, Frenda's sister. It's been a long time since she had contact with this blonde, so when she comes across Fremea, she immediately mistakes her for Frenda. What's more, she rushes after her to trap her in a warm embrace, hugging blondes face onto her blossom. She even refers to her as a good old friend.

Except Fremea has comments. "First of all: my name is Fremea. Frenda is my Onee-chan."

Shaken, Saten detaches herself from the little one with the beret, but still holds her by the shoulders. She looked at her as if something is amiss and after a moment, she panicked shouting: "She shriveled/shrink up!!"

Mikoto attracted by the commotion come to check up whats going on. Except when he suddenly looks at the Fremea, she has the same reaction: "She shriveled up!!"

As the black-haired girl, force the little one toward her, Fremea tried to explain once more that she is not her older sister. But Mikoto and Ruiko got closer and start discussing in half voice a conspiracy theory; That according to Frenda be a prankster, she can pulling a thing of her pretending to be someone else to get out from a really big pinch. Then that one sighed that she too missing her Big sister.

That caused the older duo to have a quite opposite meaning behind they awkward smile expression.
