To Aru Kagaku no Railgun
For those who care: manga starts in first term, and animu starts in second.
For those who care: ----------
Ruiko: (OP)
Ruiko: (Commercial)
Mikoto: (ED)
asdf: As you can see, the most important aspect of the curriculum for ability development
asdf: here in Academy City is "Personal Reality."
asdf: In other words, attaining a reality of your own.
asdf: This is the basis of every paranormal ability.
asdf: In addition, there's a concept pivotal to the understanding of Personal Reality —
asdf: Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle, part of quantum theory.(k*ll me plix *pseudoscience crits Path for over damage ;_;*)
asdf: Personal Reality and quantum theory — they are similar in that they both have their roots in probability theory.
asdf: For example, Schrödinger...
Ruiko: A cold?
Kazari: Yes; it's just a slight fever, but it won't break.
Ruiko: I see.
Ruiko: Be sure to rest up.
Ruiko: Yeah.
asdf: Saten?
asdf: Saten Ruiko!
Ruiko: Y-Yes!
asdf: You seem to be enjoying yourself.
asdf: Please explain what I just said in a nutshell.
Ruiko: Y-Yes!
asdf: That's enough.
asdf: Make sure to read up on Personal Reality for next time.
asdf: All right, that's all for today.
Ruiko: I don't care about theories or hypotheses.
Ruiko: Can't we take a class on how to improve our abilities quickly?
Mikoto: Today's another hot day.(Where is fnn when I need someone to complain about fragments )
Mikoto: What's eating you?
Kuroko: I just can't believe the fact that Kaitabi Hatsuya is a mere Level .(*refrains from splicing these with a dash* I'll be a nice boy and just reword it a bit instead ;_;)
Mikoto: Kaitabi?
Mikoto: Oh, the one behind the graviton affair.
Mikoto: But, wouldn't destructive power of that magnitude be around Level ?
Kuroko: Yes, which means that...
Kuroko: Which means that...
Kuroko: Just what does it mean?
Mikoto: That's what I'm asking you.
Mikoto: If you've come to an impasse, why not take a break and try a different approach?
Mikoto: What will you have?(Fcking Japanese No, we don't need predicates because we're pro. Sometimes I wonder why I strive to avoid fragments ;_;)
Kuroko: The same as you, Onee-sama.
Kuroko: Strange, is it not?
Kuroko: You will feel a little cooler when you hear a wind chime.
Mikoto: Oh, that's what they call synesthesia, isn't it?
Kuroko: Synesthesia?
asdf: Sorry to keep you waiting.
asdf: Here you are — two strawberries.
Mikoto: The experience of multiple sensations from a single stimulus.("The experience of multiple senses because of one sensory." <- wtf? ^)
Mikoto: Oh, and we're splitting this.
Kuroko: You are the one who invited me, Onee-sama.
Mikoto: What was that?
Kuroko: No, it's nothing.
Mikoto: Basically, you feel warm when you see red colors,
Mikoto: and cold when you see blue, right?
Kuroko: And so they are called warm and cold colors?
Mikoto: That's right. This shaved ice is red, like strawberries.
Kuroko: I see.
Kuroko: The red syrup reinforces the impression of a fruit.
Kuroko: Oh, Onee-sama.(SKills)
Ruiko: Misaka-san! Shirai-san!
Mikoto: Saten-san.
Ruiko: That looks delicious.
Mikoto: It's practically synonymous with summer, isn't it?
Ruiko: Even so, I still wanted to have some.
Ruiko: Oh, is that strawberry?
Mikoto: Would you like to try some?
Ruiko: Oh, may I?(Owned)
Ruiko: Thank you!
Ruiko: It's delicious!
Ruiko: Do you want to try some lemon in return?
Mikoto: Thanks.
Kuroko: Wh-Wh-Wh-What are you two doing?
Ruiko: Comparing flavors.(Have to cut this down)
Kuroko: Comparing fla-fla-flavors...
Kuroko: To think that such a way existed!
Kuroko: This is the greatest failure of my life!
Kuroko: Then, why don't we have an indirect ki—
Kuroko: Compare flavors, that is.
Mikoto: Don't we both have strawberry?
Kuroko: Fool! Fool! Fool!
Kuroko: You're such a fool, Kuroko!
Mikoto: By the way, Saten-san — isn't Uiharu-san with you?
Ruiko: She caught a summer cold, and took the day off.
Ruiko: So, I'm on my way to bring her some medicine.
Mikoto: Is it serious?
Ruiko: She says that it's not, but I'm still worried about her.
Ruiko: Say, if it's fine with you...
Ruiko: And so, we're here to pay you a visit!
All: Excuse us.
Kazari: I'm sorry for making you come all this way.
Ruiko: Don't mention it.
Ruiko: Keep still a moment.
Ruiko: . degrees.
Ruiko: Well, it's only a slight fever, but you should rest today.
Ruiko: From now on, don't sleep with your belly exposed.
Kazari: I only caught a cold because you keep lifting up my skirt, Saten-san.
Ruiko: Well, as your friend, it's my solemn duty to ensure that you're wearing underwear every day.
Kazari: I do wear them!
Kazari: Every day!(Everyday != Every day! )
Mikoto: Okay, okay. We get it.
Mikoto: Look, sick people should lie down.
Ruiko: I'll prepare a wet towel for you.
Kazari: That reminds me, Shirai-san.
Kazari: Has there been any progress in the graviton affair since then?
Kuroko: On the one hand, there has; on the other, there hasn't.
Kuroko: So far, all we know for certain is that the culprit is a Level .
Mikoto: However, that was definitely around Level .
Kazari: So, the "progress" consists of an even more elaborate mystery for us to solve?
Kuroko: Well, something like that.
Mikoto: Come to think of it, didn't you mention something called a "Lever Upper" the other day, Saten-san?
Ruiko: Yes?
Kuroko: It increases the potency of your ability?
Ruiko: Well, I did say that it was just a rumor.
Ruiko: No one seems to know what it really is.
Mikoto: No one knows what it is?
Ruiko: So it seems.
Ruiko: The rumors are all inconsistent.
Ruiko: In truth, it's more like an urban legend.
Mikoto: I see.
Mikoto: Well, there's no way something so convenient could exist.
Kuroko: Actually, this isn't the first time we've experienced a discrepancy between the database's records and the scale of the incidents.
Kuroko: The eyebrow girl hunting Tokiwadai students,
Kuroko: and the Pyrokinesist who robbed the bank —
Kuroko: those are two cases with which you are already familiar, Onee-sama.
Kuroko: There have been others with a clear discrepancy between the recorded Level and the scale of the incident.
Mikoto: Then...
Ruiko: ...the Level Upper actually exists?
Mikoto: Do you know anything else?
Ruiko: Well, I don't know whether it's true or not,
Ruiko: but those who have used the Level Upper allegedly frequent an online message board.(Frequent here is used as a verb. Might want to change it if you think it doesn't work so well, Editor-kun. -Southrop)(I never would've gussed ^)
Mikoto: Do you know which message board?
Ruiko: Um, well...
Ruiko: Um...
Kazari: Isn't it this one?
Kazari: This message board.
Ruiko: Oh, that's the one!
Kuroko: Well done!
Kuroko: Now, if we can just learn their identities and where they gather...
Kazari: We may not know who they are, but as for the latter...
Kazari: They seem to gather at this family restaurant a lot.
Kazari: lvup passing by
Kazari: Let's meet up at JonaG!(Note: The name is actually JonaGarden, so "JonnaG" probably won't work. I'd suggest JonaG or Jona-G. See around
Mikoto: Thank you, Uiharu-san!
Mikoto: I'll go and have a look!
Mikoto: Oh, take care!
Kuroko: Onee-sama!
Kuroko: That's my job!
Kuroko: Onee-sama!
Kuroko: Listen to what others have to say!
Kuroko: Onee-sama!
Alternate,Kazari: Will they be all right?
Ruiko: There's no need to be concerned.
Ruiko: They're Level and Level — the elite of Academy City.
Ruiko: Even if we were to go, well...
Kazari: Saten-san...
Ruiko: Say, Uiharu.
Ruiko: If we used the Level Upper, would our abilities really improve too?
Kazari: I wonder...
Kazari: Cheating is wrong, though.
Ruiko: That's why I said "if."
Ruiko: Don't worry.
Ruiko: I wouldn't do something like that.
Ruiko: Oh, that's right.
Ruiko: I got into some trouble when the teacher put me on the spot at school today.
Ruiko: Could you help me a bit?
Kazari: You shouldn't ask a sick person.
Ruiko: Are you hungry?
Ruiko: Would you like me to make you something?
Kazari: It's wrong to bribe people.
Ruiko: I understand.
Ruiko: You don't need anything.
Kazari: I'll eat.
Ruiko: Well, he told us to study "Personal Reality," but I don't really understand it.
Kazari: I wonder what it means.
Kazari: A reality that you alone possess.
Kazari: If it refers to knowledge, that's certainly true.
Ruiko: I alone possess...
Ruiko: Your own, my own — what kind of realities are those?(Japanese and lack of plural tw. Keeping this singular when she clearly mentions two different realities doesn't work, even though this looks odd )
Ruiko: Delusions, perhaps?
Kazari: Oh, that might be close.
Kazari: Though, rather than delusions,
Kazari: wouldn't it be the strength of a firm conviction? An unwavering faith in that which you believe in.
Kazari: I see.
Ruiko: An unwavering faith...
Kazari: I'm just a Level myself, so I'm hardly an authority on the matter.
Ruiko: Not at all; thank you.
Ruiko: To be honest, I didn't really understand the concept of "a reality of your own."
Ruiko: I think I get it now, though.
Ruiko: If I believe, will I also obtain an ability one day?
Kazari: You'll be fine.
Kazari: After all, you're prone to delusions.(lolwat. Saten-san wa omoikomi no hageshii hito desukara. I couldn't make much sense Omoikomi -> get the wrong impression. Hageshii -> Violent, intese, furious, vehement, etc. Help me here, Editor-kun! -Southrop.)(Epic win ~)(I -think- that she's mocking Saten for always coming up with various delusional ideas, meaning that she should be eminently suited for something like this)(So, "Because Saten-san is an intensely delusional person." or smt to that effect. I'll reword that into real English though)
Ruiko: You say some harsh things at times.
Title,Ruiko: Level Upper
Mikoto: This is it, huh?
Mikoto: Then, let's go.
Kuroko: Not again, Onee-sama.
Mikoto: You're with Judgement, so they might recognize you.
Kuroko: But...
Mikoto: It's fine.
Mikoto: Just leave it to me.
Mikoto: Just find a seat that's not too close, and remain on standby.
Kuroko: Why is it that I have such a bad feeling about this?
Mikoto: All right, let's go!
Kuroko: Hold on, Onee-sama!
asdf: You want to know about the Lever Upper?
Mikoto: Yeah.
Mikoto: I came across your posts on the internet,
Mikoto: and was wondering if you could tell me more about it.
Mikoto: Please!
Mikoto: I'm begging you!
Mikoto: You can tell me, right?
asdf: We know nothing.
asdf: Get lost.
Mikoto: Don't say that.
asdf: You're getting annoying.
asdf: It's past your bedtime, brat.
Kuroko: This is bad.
Kuroko: The situation is deteriorating rapidly...
Mikoto: I'm not a child anymore!
fdsa: Indeed, you're not a child.
fdsa: In fact, I kind of like you.
Mikoto: Oh, really?
Mikoto: Then, will you tell me?
fdsa: We can't really tell you for free, now can we?
Mikoto: Um, if you want money, I can give you some.
fdsa: Money's good too, but at a time like this, this is better—
Mikoto: But, I'm not really comfortable with that.(< Kuroko)
Mikoto: I don't really know much about these things yet.
Mikoto: Won't money do?
fdsa: You're not a child, right?
Mikoto: I... lied to my family.
fdsa: What's this all of a sudden?
Mikoto: The Level Upper is my only recourse.
Mikoto: So, can't you please tell me?(DEREDERE)
fdsa: Anyway, don't cry.
Mikoto: But... I...
rofl: That's a Tokiwadai uniform, isn't it?
asdf: Yeah, now that you mention it.
rofl: We might be able to make quite a k*lling.
fdsa: H-Hey...
asdf: All right, stop that annoying crying.
asdf: We'll tell you.
Mikoto: Thank you, Onii-chan!
asdf: Then, let's step outside for a moment.
asdf: Huh?
asdf: We can't talk about it here.
asdf: Let's go.
Warning: Lolis,WARNING: Strong electric current inside. Do not enter. Academy City Management Organization School District Electricity Supply Center(High voltage perhaps? Remind me to check )(I'm for "High voltage. Do not enter." -newy)
asdf: Now, then...
asdf: This'll do.
asdf: No one will interfere here.
Mikoto: Then—
asdf: First, hand over all your money.
rofl: Don't forget your debit card and PIN number.
rofl: Oh, and your credit card.
rofl: A proper Tokiwadai lady like yourself should have one.
Mikoto: Um...
Mikoto: I did prepare some, but to give you all of it—
asdf: You want to know about it, right?
asdf: Then hand it over already.
rofl: That's right.
rofl: You'd do well to just hand it over.
rofl: Or would you prefer to be stripped of your uniform too?
Mikoto: What a pain.
asdf: Huh?
asdf: Just hand it over—
fdsa: J-Junta?
rofl: You...!
Mikoto: Enough is enough.
Mikoto: I even went out of my way to control myself.
Mikoto: Now that it's come to this, I'll have you tell me what you know about the Level Upper.
rofl: In your dreams.
rofl: We'll show you how much stronger we've become!
Mikoto: Did they all really use the Level Upper?
Mikoto: If they're all on par with Kaitabi...(Less sleeping, or smt ~)
rofl: All right, take this!
rofl: This is a Level 's—
Mikoto: With so many of you,
Mikoto: it's difficult to hold back.
lmao: You've made quite a mess.
fdsa: A-Anego...
lmao: Just what were you thinking of doing to a little girl like her?
fdsa: I'm sorry!
lmao: To go after a woman's purse...
fdsa: B-But—
lmao: Are you talking back to me?!
lmao: I'll drop you.
fdsa: I'm sorry!
lmao: I'm not the one you should be apologizing to!
lmao: That goes for the rest of you too!
asdf: We're sorry.
lmao: Try it again.
fdsa: We're terribly sorry!
All: So sorry!
lmao: That's settled then, right?
lmao: Please forgive them.
lmao: Now, clear out!
All: Yes!
fdsa: Later!
Mikoto: Are you their boss?
Mikoto: Then, you should know about the Level Upper.
lmao: More importantly, you took well care of my crew.
lmao: I hope you're prepared.
Mikoto: Prepared?
Mikoto: Um, what about the apology just now?
lmao: That was that; this is this.(I wish "Are wa are; kore wa kore" sounded even half as good in English <_<)
lmao: I have to pay you back in full.
lmao: Let's go!
Mikoto: What's this?
Mikoto: The ground is—
lmao: My ability is called "Flux Coat."(Changed from Flux Court - remind me to have someone check that)
lmao: I can freely control the viscosity of asphalt.
lmao: What will you do? There's nowhere to run.
lmao: Such att*cks are useless against—
lmao: What?
lmao: She disappeared?
Mikoto: Not bad.
lmao: What's that?!
lmao: How did you get up there?
Mikoto: Electric currents generate magnetic fields, allowing me to make use of the steel reinforcement in the wall.
Mikoto: Convenient, isn't it?
lmao: Wh—
Mikoto: Well?
Mikoto: Isn't it about time for you to obediently tell me what you know?
lmao: I see.
lmao: You held back during your initial att*ck.
lmao: And you missed on purpose just now.
Mikoto: That's right.
Mikoto: So why don't you—
lmao: Get real!
lmao: I haven't lost yet!(So, who does this chick remind you of? )
lmao: If you have such power, then take this seriously!(And this is where I wish English had a proper term for this)(Guess it'll have to be reworded so as to not become too idiotic ;_;)
lmao: Your pitiful electricity is no match for my iron will.
lmao: If you think you can b*at me, then bring it on!
Mikoto: I can sympathize with the sentiment.
Mikoto: Then, as you wish.
Kuroko: Wait, Onee-sama!
Mikoto: I know.
Kuroko: No, you don't!
Kuroko: Onee-sama!
Ruiko: Wouldn't you want to have great power, Uiharu?
Ruiko: Like Misaka-san and Shirai-san.
Kazari: Well, I wouldn't mind having a powerful ability,
Kazari: and it'd certainly be an advantage when applying for university.
Ruiko: The thing is, you could live a normal life outside of Academy City.
Ruiko: A lot of people come to Academy City because they dream of acquiring paranormal abilities, don't they?
Ruiko: I used to wonder what my ability would be like.
Ruiko: What kind of hidden strength lay dormant within me?
Ruiko: The day before I arrived here, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep.
Ruiko: And then, after the initial System Scan, they told me, "You're a Level — no potential at all."
Ruiko: I thought, "Oh, great..."
Ruiko: To be honest, I was devastated.
Kazari: I know that feeling.
Kazari: My ability isn't very powerful either.
Kazari: Still, I enjoy every day, working with Shirai-san and hanging out with you.
Kazari: I would never have met all of you had I not come here.
Kazari: That in itself makes coming here meaningful.
Ruiko: Uiharu...
Ruiko: What a cute thing to say!
Ruiko: As a reward, I'll clean your whole body!(Yuri strike!)
Alternate: ,Saten-san!
Kazari: I can do the rest myself!
Kazari: A blackout?
Kuroko: That's why I told you to wait.
MOVE,Kuroko: Electrical Substation
MOVE: ,Electrical Substation
Mikoto: I couldn't help it.
Mikoto: Who could've known that something like this was here?!
Kuroko: That's why I—
Mikoto: As if I could just stop on such short notice!
Mikoto: Just what will we do now?
Kuroko: You reap what you sow.
lmao: I lost, huh.
Mikoto: What a waste.
Mikoto: In the end, we didn't learn anything new.
Mikoto: Kuroko?
Kuroko: We have a problem!
Mikoto: Kaitabi Hatsuya has lost consiousness?
Kuroko: I don't know the details, but while he was being interrogated by Anti-Skill, he suddenly...
Kuroko: I'm Shirai of Judgement.
Kuroko: How is his condition?
asdf: We've done what we can, but he shows no signs of regaining consciousness.
Mikoto: Um, I struck him pretty hard in the face a few days ago...
asdf: Well, we didn't find any evidence of trauma to the head.
asdf: In fact, there appears to be nothing wrong with his body at all.
asdf: He just fell into a coma.
Kuroko: Cause unknown, in other words?
asdf: The strange thing is that patients exhibiting the same symptoms have been coming in one after another this week.
asdf: It's embarrassing to admit, but this is beyond what our staff and facilities can handle.
asdf: Therefore, we've decided to bring in an expert on cerebral physiology.
Harumi: I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
Harumi: The director of the Mizuho Organization Hospital requested my assistance.
Harumi: I am Kiyama Harumi.
asdf: We appreciate your cooperation.
Mikoto: You are...
Ruiko: I just can't find that Level Upper...
Ruiko: So, it really was nothing but a rumor.
Ruiko: Perhaps I should import a few new songs.(Unlike you're schizofrenic, you really wouldn't be talking to yourself like that ><)
Ruiko: A hidden link?
Ruiko: Is this...
