01x25 - OVA - Since Misaka-san is the Center of Attention Right Now...

[bunniefuu]

Huh?!

(Kyaaa!!)(add remove at your leisure -andy)

(Kyaaa!!)

(** Kongō's ranting is hard to hear and is a pain to TL **)

Well, it is Academy City.

Saten-san donated some food. (Kuzu - I don't really think you should say "donated" here)

Research side?

Now I can get straight off campus without being found.

You two as well, don't hold back, eat all you want.

Although, it's hard to believe that a reputable teacher from somewhere prestigious like Nagatenjouki would do something like that for being fired...

Uiharu, what's the situation?

According to the latest reports, there are six culprits.

The location(scene of the crime(/site)) hasn't changed.

Please hurry!

Otherwise—

Huh?

Otherwise...

...those six will instead all become...

This is Judgement!(seriously guys? oh well, it's the same as in the series... -andy)

...the victims...

Too late...

([Background])Wow!

([Background])Amazing!

Hm? W-What is this?

Um, thank you very much!

Oh, no, it was no—

I am hereby personally detaining you, Onee-sama, for repeatedly ignoring warnings and causing unnecessary commotion in a public area.

Huh?! What are you sayin—

Do you really want to be mobbed by all these onlookers?

Hey!

Let us through!

Get out of the way!

We have just arrived at the location.

Come on, let's leave before it gets complicated.

O-Okay...

What's the matter, Onee-sama?

You felt someone watching you?

Yeah...

Well, you did gather all that attention after all.

No, not like that.

How should I put it...

Also, this wasn't the first time...

Onee-sama, the commotion from the Level Upper incident hasn't settled down yet, you know.

Having defeated the AIM Burst and solved that incident, you are currently the center of attention.

But wasn't that kept a secret?

It wasn't even on the news.

You shouldn't underestimate the power of rumors.

Just as there are those who eye you with envy, there are also those who have a grudge against you

for taking away their temporary powers, like those guys from earlier.

Which is why I kept insisting that you try not to stand out—

I don't mind those kinds of stares.

But that stare...

It was like the flow of electricity in my body had reversed...(reverse the polarity of the neutron flow! -andy)

It's just that stare...

I-I-Isn't that "Someone's Watching"?!

"Someone's Watching"?

It's the hottest urban legend right now!

A sudden, mysterious stare on your back...

You turn around, but no one is there...

Yet the stare is surely creeping closer and closer...

Before long, those who get engulfed can't set foot outside their room...

Because they can feel the stare from the other side of the door...

Despite that, one day, a girl daringly peeked through the peephole...

And then...

Huh? Aren't you scared?

Good grief!

Geez Saten-san, bringing up another urban legend.

Ehh? But...

Couldn't it just be stress?

You are the center of attention after all.

That's not—

Oh? Uiharu-san, your terminal is running.

Huh?

Oh, you're right.

Wow, how'd you know that?

From the electromagnetic pulses.

Wow.

The GPS I was using earlier was still running.

It truly is a weird world. Obviously that GPS is included, but all of us, Onee-sama or whoever, are always being watched.

True...

Anti-Skill has been tightening security recently, too.

Speaking of which, it appears that there are security cameras which can attach to bags.

To bags?

Teachers, at the request of parents, get their grade school students to hold onto one.

It's so that parents can tell where their child is and what they're doing twenty four hours a day.

Would you go that far?

With that type of long term pressure, there's a risk of negatively affecting the growth

of their powers and eventually warping their Personal Reality.

Regardless, that is Academy City.

Worrying about it won't get us anywhere.

Onee-sama, do try to relax.

It'd be silly to let something like this hurt the "Ace of Tokiwadai" name.

She's right.

You're just worrying too much.

Yeah... You're right.

Thanks, guys.

I'm just worrying too much.

I'm just worrying too much...

I'm just worrying too much...

Worrying...

Worrying...

Worrying...

Yo, Biribiri. ((** If nicknames, which reference actual words, should be TLed then maybe something along the lines of tingle/electric shock/buzz or the likes could work **) nah, it's biribiri -andy)

Is this... your doing?!

What?!

W-What the heck are you-

Don't play dumb!

It's you, isn't it? The one who has been watching me recently?

It was you, wasn't it?!

Um, just what are you talking about?

As I said, you've been—

Come on! Besides, why would I be watching you anyway?

"Why"? Well... because...

Your face is red. Do you have a fever or something?

Sh-Shut up! Let's battle. Let's just battle!

Let's make it clear whether you're the culprit or not—

Alternate ,Hey! What are you thinking, using your powers around here?

Oh, no, this is...

Sorry, she was just playing around.

Wait a sec! I wasn't-

Okay, okay, we get it. It's almost curfew time. Hurry back home.

No issues here. It was just a student couple having a lover's spat.

Cou—

Lover's spat?

Cou— Cou— Cou—

Alternate ,Come on, hurry up and go home.

Okay~!

I wonder if I'm just being self-conscious?

Onee-sama... It's a guy, isn't it?

I'm relieved that it was unnecessary worry.

Geez, when I'm seriously troubled and all...

Worry no further! Just now, I worked it out.

Worked it out?

The truth behind this case, of course.

So you know who the culprit is?

In a sense.

Doesn't that—

Frankly, it is you yourself, Onee-sama!

Huh?

In other words, your thoughts were close but not quite correct.

For example, the shorts under your skirt!

And further underneath, the limited edition Gekota panties you bought online!

How'd you—

Furthermore, the bear outfit and Gekota pajama under you bed.

Onto that, the number of absurdly childish underwear with penguins, alligators and other lame characters!

Even though you usually don't think much of it, deep inside, your subconscious thoughts of "maybe it is embarrassing" have actualized!

Onee-sama, that illusion...

Alternate ,Kuroko...

Onee-sama?

Kuroko.

They're here.

Behind me.

Onee-sama, there isn't anyone looking this way...

Come out, you coward!

I don't know what you want but I'll take you on any time!

Stop playing dirty and show yourself!

Onee-sama...

Saten-san, excuse me for intru—

Welcome!

Geez... Honestly, Saten-san, taking advantage of the fact that I had both hands full...

Sorry, sorry.

So, what'd you buy?

Snacks and other stuff.

It has been a long-awaited sleepover, after all.

Strawberry Jam ,Strawberry Oden((/Stew))

Huh, these count as snacks as well?

Oh, Saten-san, you haven't had one before?

The softened strawberry, from having broth sucked in, has a sweet and sour flavour which just tastes amazing!

Hmm, so that's why your underwear was strawberry patterned.

That has nothing to do with it!

Lesbian Calls ,Incoming Call

Lesbian Calls ,Shirai Kuroko

Oh, I wonder what's up?

It actually tastes good...

Hello, Shirai-san? What...

Huh? Yeah, that's fine.

Oh, Uiharu is here as well.

Okay, bye.

What happened?

Shirai-san's coming over.

I wonder what the matter is.

Apparently—

There's something I want to ask you.

([Sync])That was fast!

It seems this site doesn't have any more than what I told you last time.

I see...

Um... I was able to find this...

"Someone's Watching" Victims' Message Board

Wow! How'd you find it?

Well, I have my ways.

In fact, this is one of those school backdoor sites.

School?

Yeah, Tokiwadai's.

T-This is...

chan ,Get lost

chan ,Who may you be?! Are you insulting me knowing full well that I'm Tokiwadai's MK?!

chan ,Who the heck are they...

chan ,Argh!!!!!!!!!!!

Kongou(Kongō) Mitsuko. How obvious can she be.

Kongou-san?

The one with the cute python!

Anyway, the fact that there are people saying that they have been victims

means it is possible that "Someone's Watching" isn't just simply an urban legend, but an actual occurring incident.

But who, and what for?

I'll investigate other areas right away-

Yes, but before that...

Could you keep this a secret from Onee-sama?

Why?

It's Onee-sama we're talking about. If she finds out about it, she'll run off by herself again.

That's true...

I shall be the one to catch this culprit.

As Onee-sama's right hand, this is my, Shirai Kuroko's duty!

Well then...

The job of backing you up,

as Shirai-san's and Misaka-san's friends,

would be our duty!

You guys...

Title Misaka-san is the center of attention after all.

Man, I was at a loss...

The shortcut I always take was blocked due to construction work.

Getting there is a one way route, so in the end I had to go back to where I started.

Man, I'm thirsty.

I'll be taking some juice.

That's fine but...

What's the matter, Misaka-san?

You look exhausted.

Well... Sorry to intrude like this...

I just seem to feel calmer here...

The security is nice and tight.

Misaka-san, do you want a Coconut Cider or Condensed Soy Milk?

By the way, where are Kuroko and Uiharu-san today?

They're on patrol.

They mentioned that they were going home directly after that.

I see...

Ah, I know!

It's almost the end of my shift, so why don't we go and refresh ourselves?

R-Refresh?

I'll teach you my special stress relieving method.

Stress relieving method?

What might that be?

That is...

This!

A bath house?

You take a bath while the sun is still up then leave in the cool evening air.

This is the best.

Ehhh, taking a bath with everyone.

That sounds nice!

Yes, we're just about to start.

Thank you for the update.

Keep up the work on your end too!

H-H-Ho-How-How'd you find out that I had posted on that message board?!

What amazing investigative skills!

As expected from Shirai-san!

Forget about that.

Please answer my question.

What exactly did the stare feel like?

Unfortunately, I, of course, haven't been a victim of it.

The truth is, the victim of "Someone's Watching" is actually...

...our senpai in the swimming club.

I was just trying to support her.

The culprit undoubtly peeks at that message board so I was just leaving them a warning.

Do you understand?

My kindness and selflessness cause me to feel and think for some stranger I don't even know.

I need not say that ever since I was a child I've been attending UNESCO's symposium with my father.

So you two were also posting on that message board?

Come to think of it, there were quite a few words of encouragement too.

Excuse me you people!

Are you listening to what I'm saying?

Would it be possible to let me meet this person?

I don't think that's possible.

The stare...

She says the stare feels as if the flow of electricity in her whole body has reversed,

and it scares her so much that she hasn't left her room all this time...

So all we could do was communicate via that message board.

Um...

Please catch the culprit as soon as possible.

Everyone thinks they are just being led on by the urban legend so they can't even talk about it.

I feel bad for them...

Whole body... Electricity...

Alternate ,We'll do our best! So—

I have just one more question.

What is the person's power?

Well? Aren't early baths are nice?

Yeah, it feels amazingly relieving!

At this time of day, there's still school and cram sessions so we get the whole place to ourselves.

Well, that only applies to Academy City.

Misaka-san, you don't have to curl up like that.

It's all right, you're still growing!

No, this isn't about that...

Well, I do care a little, but...

Right now I feel calmer this way...

Just go ahead and use the shampoo, okay?

Sure.

Misaka-san, do you want to use it first?

Misaka-sa—...

Sa-Saten-san?

Leave your back to me.

You've always looked straight ahead - that's why I'm able to be here.

So leave your back to us and firmly face forward, as usual.

Oh? That looks like fun.

Why not join in, Konori-senpai?

Huh? Me too?

That's right.

Take this!

Wait!

Fine, fine.

That felt great!

So? Are you feeling refreshed?

Yes, I feel great now.

You too, Saten-san, thank you.

It's fine, I didn't do anything...

Next time, let's come with Shirai-san and Uiharu-san, too.

Yeah!

Well then, let's get going!

Huh? Wasn't this a sliding-door when we got here earlier?

Why...

What's wrong, Misaka-san?

It's unlike you to fall asleep in class.

I-I'm sorry.

Alternate ,Come on, take your seat.

I wonder what happened.

It sure is unusual.

Surely not? All the way out here?

Alternate ,Everyone else, quiet please.

No way...

Misaka-san...

Is it happening again?

N-No. I'm totally fine.

Come on, let's go.

Why...

Why is this...

This...

This...

Thanks for keeping up the work.

Have you found-

Welcome back!(I wanted to try 'muffling' this, but it all looked stupid. Ayone else feel game? -andy)

What is with that?

Saten-san brought over some food.

There's some for you, too!

So, the results?

We don't know the power for certain, so I can't say for sure, but searching the database didn't result in any possible powers or espers.

I've searched everywhere I could as well...

If it isn't the work of an esper, then...

Uiharu!

There's one more thing I want you to look up.

Yeah?

Onee-sama!

It's Sunday.

Where are you off to so early?

Nowhere.

Just shopping.

If that's so, then I too—

Once in a while, I like to wander around by myself.

Onee-sama...

This is Kuroko.

The subject has begun moving.

Confirmed.

Target status?

Currently being traced.

They're slowly closing in on the subject.

What about what I asked you to look up?

I'm working on it concurrently, but... a bit longer.

Acknowledged.

We don't have all the pieces, but from here on in we'll just have to wing it.

I'll be relying on you two.

([Sync])Okay!

"Someone's Watching"? So what?!

You can watch for all I care!

I won't ever look back again.

Instead...

They're—

here!

This route...

Misaka-san? What's up, calling this early in the morning?

Eh? The shortcut I mentioned last time?

Right now this route is completely one way...

Sign This road is currently closed due to construction work

If someone really is watching, then...

They should be right ahead!

Found—!

you?

W-What is it with you?

Anti-Skill?

You're...

That girl from the park.

The ones from then...

What in the world are you doing here?

Um... Well...

Nothing in paticular...

Well, there's this urban legend called "Someone's Watching" so I thought I'd try to uncover the truth about it...

"Someone's Watching"?

What the heck is that?

You came all the way here believing some baseless urban legend?

Not quite.

It's not some urban legend.

Kuroko! Why—

"Someone's Watching" is a legitimate crime.

Although, you should be very aware of this fact, "Someone's Watching"-san.

Or should I say, Anti-Skill officer, and former Nagatenjouki Academy power development director, Jounan Asako!

W-What are you—

What's this, Jounan?

An acquaintance of yours?

No, um...

The identity of the "stare", which had been distressing Onee-sama, is electromagnetic waves.

Normally Onee-sama, like any electric-type esper, can detect phenomena related to her power.

In other words, these espers can feel the variety of electric fields,

magnetic fields, and electromagentic waves

in their natural surroundings and subconsciously processes them whether they want to or not.

You used this against them by creating a device that amplifies the wavelength they find most unpleasant

to a point such that the target feels as if they're being watched.

W-What basis do you have—

"Unique Sensory Perceptions of Electric-type Espers and their Applications"

It was an interesting paper.

Although, I only just recently found it so I haven't read it all yet.

Alternate ,I'm worn out...

Also, this obviously suspicious device.

Would you mind explaining its purpose?

Hey, Jounan, what is that?

Which means the cause of this fuss...

...was all you?!

Repeatedly experimenting on espers with similar powers,

then using the aftermath of the Level Upper Incident to complete your true objective of targeting Onee-sama.

In this city where % of the population are students, and as an Anti-Skill officer during a time of tightened security,

you must have been able approach her quite naturally.

Damn it!

A b*mb?

Does she plan on blowing herself up?!

I'll blast that thing up above the building.

W-What the?

Shirai-san! Misaka-san!

What happened?!

Shirai-san! Misaka-san!

Uiharu...

Shirai-san!

Uiharu, can you hear this?

Due to Jounan's stun grenade, we can neither see nor hear anything.

If you are listening to this then immediately chase Jounan.

Okay!

Even if I say that, from here it's...

Damn it!

To think it would be uncovered so quickly...

Where should I run?

The city is full of cameras and Anti-Skill officers...

All right, that should be about right.

Yeah, so next is—

You students!

Anti-Skill!

I'll be taking this boat for investigation purposes.

Wait a sec!

It'll be troublesome for us if you take it all of a sudden!

I'll contact your school later.

Hurry up and undo the rope!

Thank you!

I'll send you a thank you letter later!

That was lucky!

Now I can get straight out of the school district without being found.

For now, I'll leave Academy City, but once things calm down, I'll definitely...

Why are you here?!

"Why was I here", was it?

It seems like someone was watching you too.

Man, boats should be against the rules.

It's done...

N-No way, this is too much of your kindness!

It's fine, you've earned it this time.

You two, don't hold back. Eat all you want as well!

Thank you very much.

Wow!

So many limited edition cakes from Pasticceria Manicagni!

Although, it's hard to believe that a reputable teacher from somewhere prestigious like Nagatenjouki

would loathe and do something like that for being fired...

Nagatenjouki Academy is famous for being number one for power development in Academy City.

With that, not being able to produce a Level must have been very pressuring as the power development director.

I don't know the true reason for her being dismissed, but...

A fellow prestigious school, Tokiwadai, produced two Level 's, one of them being the famous Onee-sama,

which was probably the reason behind her actions.

Anyway, it was quite impressive to notice that all the victims were electric-type espers!

Yeah!

Your reasoning that "if it wasn't an esper, then it must have been someone developing powers" was impressive too!

It was you, Uiharu, who actually conclusively proved it.

And there was Saten-san who watched out for Onee-sama throughout the whole investigation.

Without all of us, we wouldn't have been able to solve this case.

Oh, it was nothing...

But we sure can't match you, Shirai-san.

Even during the investigation, you said that "Someone's Watching" might appear so you went out to watch Misaka-san at the bath house.

Alternate ,Huh? Wait, Uiha—

Saying that you'd protect Misaka-san, that you'd go wherever and whenever you thought "Someone's Watching" might appear.

Alternate ,Uiha-

It was as if you were on standby twenty four hours a day.

Oh my, oh my...

Yeah, I definitely couldn't do that!

Uiharu, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?

I was thinking that it was a bit odd...

Even "Someone's Watching" shouldn't have been able to come into the changing rooms or our room.

O-Onee-sama, well, you see...

You're prepared, right?

Yes...

You extreme pervert!

This is why I can't stop being Onee-sama's right hand!
