Nogizaka Railgun no Himitsu: Onee-sama's Secret
Lolis?: Conversing...
Mikoto: You're not getting away now!
Touma: W-Wait a second, I—
Mikoto: Give it up!
Kazari: Misaka-san!
Mikoto: Uiharu-san, Saten-san...
Kazari: Did something just happen?
Ruiko: There was a really loud noise just now...
Mikoto: Eh? Ah, that's...
Kuroko: Today is the anniversary of Onee-sama and I.
Kuroko: A single month has passed since our destinies were entwined by the red string of fate.
Kuroko: It's unfortunate that the item I ordered hasn't arrived yet,
Kuroko: but today, I'll nevertheless...
Kuroko: give it to her.
Kuroko: A gift, from the bottom of my heart. (Think gift is preferred here. Google fight >_>)
Kuroko: Yes, me, just as...
Kuroko: ...I was born!
Mikoto: I'm back—
Kuroko: Onee-sama!
Ruiko: Pardon...
Kazari: ...the intrusion!
Kazari: Woah!
Kazari: The room of a lady that I've always dreamt of!
Ruiko: It's so stylish and chic!
Ruiko: The bed's really soft too!
Kazari: It really is!
Ruiko: This is great!
Alternate,Mikoto: Seriously, what were you thinking?
Kuroko: Onee-sama, too; why did you bring Uiharu and Saten-san?
Mikoto: I happened to run into them down in the city.
Mikoto: We went shopping together,
Mikoto: and they said they wanted to see our dormitory, so...
Kuroko: Shopping?
Mikoto: Eh? Ah, nothing important.
Kazari: As I thought, Tokiwadai's Girls' Dormitory really is great!
Kazari: I'm so jealous!
Ruiko: Even the cafeteria was this big!
Mikoto: It's not really like that...
Kuroko: Why did you have to do this today of all days, Onee-sama?
Kuroko: Our special anniversary is ruined now!
Kuroko: Or, could it be...
Mikoto: Today marks the one-month anniversary of
Mikoto: Kuroko and I being joined together by the red string of fate.
Mikoto: The two of us are one.
Mikoto: Uiharu-san, Saten-san, we'll continue to be in your care. (To fit the whole Noir dream nonsense of the yuri girl >_>)
Mikoto: A toast, to your beautiful eyes.
Kazari: Um... Shirai-san, are you all right?
Kuroko: It's nothing.
Kuroko: Now, now, we don't have much to offer you, but please make yourself at home. Eh?
Kuroko: Saten-san, what are you doing over there?
Ruiko: Well, when you visit a friend's place,
Ruiko: you just have to start with searching their room.
Ruiko: Whoa! Erotic!
Kazari: Saten-san, you can't just go rummaging through other people's belongings...
Ruiko: As expected of Misaka-san! So mature!
Mikoto: No, that's...
Kuroko: Those are mine.
Kazari: Those are Shirai-san's?
Ruiko: These incredibly bold underwear?
Kuroko: Though I wouldn't call them bold,
Kuroko: a pair or two of black underwear is a staple among ladies.
Ruiko: Then, what about these red butterfly ones?
Kuroko: I choose that color when I want to spice up the atmosphere.
Ruiko: And these practically-just-strings T-backs?
Kuroko: I treasure those, as they protect my skin and don't leave any marks.
Ruiko: These full-body mesh stockings as well?
Kuroko: As a woman, there are times when one has to take the initiative.
Kazari: W-What are you doing all of a sudden, Saten-san?!
Ruiko: Well, you know, I just wanted to return to a semblance of normalcy.
Ruiko: Seeing your striped panties helped me calm down.
Kuroko: Really, making such a fuss over underwear.
Kuroko: Look, there are plenty of ones beside those.
Kuroko: A pearl-textile open-bra babydoll with frills.
Kuroko: A laced teddy with a garter belt.
Kuroko: And...
Ruiko: What a relief... So Shirai-san wears that kind as well.
Kazari: The Shirai-san I know has returned.
Mikoto: I'm sorry... These are mine...
Mikoto: And Kuroko! Why is my underwear under your bed?!
Kuroko: It's a misunderstanding, Onee-sama!
Alternate,Kazari: N-Now, now, Misaka-san...
Kazari: I know! I'd like to see your photo albums!
Ruiko: Oh, going by the book!
Kazari: I'd very much like to see what you two were like in elementary school.
Mikoto: Eh?
Mikoto: (You are now looking at Last Order)
Both: Whoa! So cute!
Ruiko: Is this from your elementary school entrance ceremony?
Kazari: Is that beautiful lady next to you your mother?
Kazari: (/me checks his fanbook)
Mikoto: Ah, yes...
Kazari: What a cute kimono!
Alternate,Mikoto: This is embarrassing...
Ruiko: I have to say though, it's a bit surprising.
Mikoto: What is?
Ruiko: Well, Misaka-san, you're a Level and the ace of Tokiwadai.
Ruiko: Somehow I always imagined you as an upper-class lady,
Ruiko: like someone who's only ever walked the path of the privileged.
Mikoto: Oh, not at all.
Mikoto: I started out as a Level as well. (You're giving me work, Path! Either 'have begun' or 'began' -newy < -Path)
Mikoto: Just a normal kid.
Mikoto: Really?
Kazari: Then, let's look at Shirai-san's next.
Kuroko: It'd be my pleasure...
Kuroko: ...is what I'd like to say, but unfortunately I don't have an album.
Kuroko: Kuroko is a lady who lives in the present.
Kuroko: Rather than dwelling on the past, or dreaming of the future,
Kuroko: I wish to gaze intently upon the present.
Kuroko: Such is my resolution.
Ruiko: Isn't this it?
Kuroko: Not that one!
Mikoto: Kuroko!
Mikoto: Indeed, rather than the past or the future, there is a most pressing need for you to reflect upon the present!
Kuroko: I just...
Kuroko: About Onee-sama...
Kuroko: Onee-sama, don't you remember what day today is?
Kuroko: I thought you brought Uiharu and Saten-san along to celebrate the occasion...
Mikoto: Today?
Mikoto: Uiharu-san and Saten-san...
Mikoto: Oh, come to think of it...
Kuroko: You remember?!
Mikoto: It's been one week on the day since we met Uiharu-san and Saten-san!
Kazari: Tempus fugit... It's been a whole week, hasn't it?
Ruiko: More like, has it only been a week?
Ruiko: Somehow, it feels like we've always been together.
Ruiko: I hope we'll remain good friends.
Kuroko: What's with the difference in treatment?
Kuroko: Could it be... that I'm unwanted? (removed the child part, even if she does say iranaiko)
(Can: Cold Oshiruko)
Kuroko: These red beans...
Kuroko: They'll be discarded without a second thought.
Kuroko: I'm the same as these poor beans!
Mikoto: Oh, this is surprisingly good!
Ruiko: Pork cutlet sandwich?
Ruiko: And so, after that, Uiharu—
Kazari: Hey, Saten-san!
Mikoto: That's just horrible!
Mikoto: Will you stop being so noisy?!
Kuroko: I'm drowning my sorrows in red bean juice.
Kuroko: How could I not despair?
Mikoto: Um...
Kuroko: Meeting a week ago?
Kuroko: Hah! Don't make me laugh!
Kuroko: One month...
Kuroko: It's been one month on the day since Onee-sama and I were joined by the red string of fate!
Kuroko: One month ago, on this very day,
Kuroko: Onee-sama and I became roommates by chance.
Kuroko: Ever since, we've eaten together, and shared our joy and grief.
Kuroko: Right here! In this very room!
Kuroko: And yet...
Kuroko: And yet, Onee-sama... you...
Kazari: Shirai-san...
Ruiko: Perhaps we shouldn't have come today?
Mikoto: Kuroko...
Mikoto: ...you...
Kuroko: Onee-sama...
Alternate,Mikoto: ...forced your way in here, didn't you?
Mikoto: It was no coincidence, nor any red string of fate.
Mikoto: And what was that?
Mikoto: Joy? Grief? Drowning your sorrows in red bean juice?
Alternate,Kuroko: Um... I have some business...
Mikoto: You've got some nerve!
Mikoto: That's right!
Mikoto: Perverts should be rooted out!
Kuroko: It's a matter of perspective!
Kuroko: Besides... all I wanted was to hold a quiet celebration with Onee-sama today...
Mikoto: Yes?
(Intercom: Conversing...)
asdf: Express delivery. (Changed for duration)
asdf: Is this room , the residence of Shirai Kuroko-san?
Mikoto: Yes... Um, what are you delivering?
asdf: The label says "computer parts."
Kuroko: That's right; the retailers of this kind of goods would take situations like this into account.
Mikoto: Who's the sender?
asdf: It's from Love and Chinese: Quality Aphrodisiacs, Ltd.
Kuroko: What was the point when the name's in plain sight?!
Mikoto: Kuroko...
Mikoto: Why would you need an aphrodisiac for a "quiet celebration"?
Mikoto: It appears that I shall have to go to some length in order to correct that perverted personality of yours.
Mikoto: I'm going to char you a shade of black to match your name!
Kuroko: Now, it'd be problematic if you were to forget about my ability.
Kuroko: Now that it has come to this, it's eat or be eaten!
Kuroko: If you won't accept my love, then please face me here and now!
Kuroko: Onee-sama?
asdf: Dormitory Rule #: The use of paranormal abilities within the confines of the dormitory is strictly forbidden.
asdf: Surely, you haven't forgotten this, Shirai?
Kuroko: G-G-Good afternoon, Dormitory Supervisor.
Kuroko: I most certainly haven't,
Kuroko: but, you see, we weren't using abilities to cause mischief!
Kuroko: There are mitigating circumstances—(Needed it to be shorter)
asdf: I see.
asdf: Mitigating circumstances, is it?
Kuroko: T-That's right! The truth is—
asdf: However...
Mikoto: K-Kuroko!
asdf: If I were to take these "mitigating circumstances" into account upon every occasion,
asdf: I'd be hard pressed to uphold the discipline of the dormitory.
asdf: From those who flout the rules, punishment needs to be exacted.
asdf: Wouldn't you agree, Misaka?
Mikoto: Yes!
Mikoto: Seriously...
Mikoto: Why do I have to do this?
Mikoto: True, I may have overdone it a little,
Mikoto: but even so, a punishment like this...
Mikoto: Making me clean this ridiculously large pool is just...!
Mikoto: It's impossible, no matter how you look at it!
Mikoto: Even though we've been at it since morning, and it's already past noon,
Mikoto: we haven't even finished a third of it.
Mikoto: Will we even be able to finish it today?
Kuroko: How lucky!
Kuroko: I get to spend some private time at the pool with my sweaty, dripping wet Onee-sama.
Kuroko: This is the perfect chance to exact revenge for what transpired yesterday!
Kuroko: Onee-sama!
Kuroko: You need proper hydration when working under the sun.
Kuroko: Would you care for some of my special drink?
Mikoto: No need.
Kuroko: W-Why not?
Mikoto: You haven't poured some of those "computer parts" from yesterday into it, have you?
Mikoto: I knew it.
Kinuho: Shirai-san?
Kinuho: It really is Shirai-san!
Maaya: What are you doing here?
Kuroko: As you can see, I'm cleaning the pool.
Kinuho: But... why?
Kuroko: Even in the midst of summer, the winds of society can be cold. (Changed public opinion to society; removed blow)
Kuroko: Speaking of which, what brings you two here?
Kinuho: Well, we're members of the swim club, so...
Alternate,Mikoto: Kuroko's classmates?
Mikoto: Which means...
Mikoto: ...that they're younger than me...
Kuroko: Onee-sama.
Kuroko: These are my classmates:
Kuroko: Wannai Kinuho-san and Awatsuki Maaya-san.
Mikoto: Good afternoon.
Kuroko: And this is—
Kinuho: Um... excuse me,
Kinuho: but would you be Misaka-sama?
Mikoto: Eh? Well, I am, but...
Kinuho: I knew it!
Kinuho: Don't you remember?
Kinuho: The other day, when I was surrounded by a group of thugs in Senda,
Kinuho: you burst in and saved me.
Mikoto: Ah, something like that did happen...
Kinuho: I'm most grateful for your help.
Maaya: I've heard a lot about you, so it's an honor to meet you in person.
Kuroko: As expected of Onee-sama; she's fighting crime even when I'm not around.
Mikoto: Really, all the weirdos seem to come out when it gets hot.
Maaya: Still, that's really impressive!
Kinuho: Truly! You were wonderful back then, Misaka-sama!
Mikoto: No, no, it was nothing.
Kuroko: This is...
Kuroko: ...a déjà vu?!
Kuroko: Must be my imagination!
Kuroko: I'm only nervous because of what happened yesterday!
Mikoto: How could I possibly be the only one left out again?
Maaya: It must be tough, working in this heat.
Maaya: I have a sports drink with me, so, if you don't mind...
Mikoto: Thanks. I'll have some.
Kuroko: What's with the difference in treatment?
Kuroko: Come to think of it...
Kuroko: She has ignored all of my advances so far,
Kuroko: and whenever I sought to deepen the bond between us by fondling her, she would violently reject me.
Kuroko: Could it be that Onee-sama is truly trying to distance herself from me?
Kuroko: Pull yourself together, Kuroko!
Kuroko: If you lack confidence, then find some!
Kuroko: If you experience anxiety, shake it off!
Kuroko: That's right; as long as I have the unique advantage of teleportation,
Kuroko: there are countless ways in which I can be of use to Onee-sama!
Mikoto: Whoa, that's amazing! I can actually see it getting cleaner.(shortened for readability)
Kinuho: My ability allows me to control the flow of water.
Kinuho: We need to submit our examination results to the teacher,
Kinuho: but once that's done, would you allow me to help out?
Mikoto: Really? But...
Kinuho: It's the least I can do to thank you for saving me.
Mikoto: Thank you!
Mikoto: You'd be of great help.
Kinuho: I'm glad to be of service.
Mikoto: Really, this ability is amazing.
Mikoto: With this, we'll be done in no time! Thanks!
Kinuho: Well then, see you later.
Maaya: I'll leave my sports drink here, so please feel free to help yourself.
Mikoto: ( ゚∀゚)ノシ
Mikoto: They seem like nice people, Kuroko.
Kuroko: Indeed...
Mikoto: What a relief; with her assistance, we'll be done in around ten minutes.
Kuroko: Indeed...
Mikoto: I want to wrap this up and have some ice cream!
Kuroko: Indeed...
Mikoto: What's the name of the Chinese dynasty that came to power in the th century?
Kuroko: Indeed... (I guess this is a pun on the name of the dynasty in question, but it doesn't really translate)
Mikoto: What's wrong? You don't seem very cheerful.
Kuroko: It's nothing. Please don't mind me...
Kuroko: After all, the likes of me can't even help out with the cleaning...
Mikoto: Um... if something's troubling you—
Kuroko: I'm fine!
Kuroko: I'm not worthy of being in your presence, Onee-sama.
Kuroko: I do nothing but trouble you, and I can't be of use...
Kuroko: Someone like me is unfit to stay by your side, Onee-sama!
Mikoto: W-What should I do?
Mikoto: This is so sudden that I can't even keep up.
Kazari: I wonder if Misaka-san has given it to her already?
Ruiko: I really wanted to see her hand it over.
Ruiko: After all, we went out of the way to find it.
Kazari: I really wonder how Shirai-san will react.
Kazari: I mean, given her fascination with that sort of underwear...
Ruiko: That's right. I never would've thought that she had such outlandish tastes.
Ruiko: But you know, in cases like this, it's the thought that counts.
Kazari: That's true.
Mikoto: Hey, Kuroko.
Mikoto: Do you remember what happened a month ago today?
Kuroko: A month ago today?
Mikoto: Yep. The night you forced your way into my room, got caught by the dormitory supervisor, and ended up getting us scolded.
Mikoto: And then, the following day,
Mikoto: the two of us were forced to clean up the cafeteria.
Mikoto: And, in the end, we somehow wound up staying together till today.
Mikoto: So, if there's an anniversary for us,
Mikoto: it would be today, right?
Kuroko: C-Can I open it?
Mikoto: Of course!
Mikoto: We'll always be together from now on,
Mikoto: so let's get along.
Kuroko: Onee-sama... did you just say... "always be together"?
Mikoto: Of course!
Mikoto: We go to the same school, and share the same room.
Mikoto: We couldn't be separated even if we wanted to; after all, we're partners.
Mikoto: Here.
Mikoto: A toast to us partners.
Kuroko: As a couple tied together by the red string of fate!
Mikoto: As roommates.
Mikoto: Well then, we still have some work to do.
Kuroko: Onee-sama...
Kuroko: Onee-sama!
Kuroko: Wouldn't it be better to wear swimsuits while cleaning the pool, in case we get wet?
Mikoto: Hmm? But it'd be a hassle to fetch them.
Kuroko: The truth is, I suspected it'd come to this...
Kuroko: Ta da!
Kuroko: I've brought Onee-sama's school swimsuit with me!
Mikoto: I'm certain that I locked that away!
Kuroko: Before my powers, locks have no meaning.
Kuroko: Now, now, please undress.
Kuroko: Really, Onee-sama... wearing these childish things again...
Mikoto: Hey! Give those back!
Kuroko: As I said, change into your swimsuit.
Kuroko: Oh? Oooh?
Kuroko: They match! They match!
Kuroko: Matches, matches!
Kuroko: They're a match to Onee-sama's!
Mikoto: Kuroko!
Maaya: It seems like they're having fun.
Kinuho: Misaka-sama, the examination's over, so we're here to help—
Kuroko: Ah, so good! Onee-sama's whip of love feels so good!
Mikoto: Enough already! Just give them back!
Mikoto: Give them back!
Kuroko: I refuse...
Mikoto: What was that?!
Kuroko: This is good...
Mikoto: Give them back!
Maaya: L-Let's pretend we didn't see anything.
Kinuho: Y-Yeah...
Kuroko: Kuroko'll never waver.
Kuroko: I'll always be by Onee-sama's side.
Kuroko: Loves me...
Kuroko: Loves me not...
Kazari: Eh?
Kuroko: Loves me...
Kuroko: Loves me not...
Kazari: Shirai-san, please don't use the flowers on my head to tell your fortune in love!
