How have things been lately?

Thanks to you, Misaka has been enjoying many fun experiences.

From going diving, to mountain climbing,

as well as engaging in some sports.

Sepak takraw, rugby, Mallakhamba.

Misaka also studies, of course, even doing enjoyable science experiments.

Oh, yeah?

You've got a lot of things going on, huh?

"Scattered around the world as we Misakas are now, we experience a lot,

and we store up those experiences as knowledge,

allowing our specs to increase rapidly.

We do have to undergo regular maintenance,

so we want to do everything that we can while we are still active,"

says Misaka, speaking rationally about her fleeting existence.

You sound like you're becoming an old man. Are you all right?

"Much More Railgun V"!

MMR!

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go!

There isn't anything that I cannot send flying!

Ah! My cellphone!

My remote control!

My bat!

My identity!

My Great Dane Type!

My Mosquito Type!

My Mantis Type! Why did I get all of mine launched?!

I sent them flying!

A whole night has passed, and she hasn't returned the clothes yet?

Has she not had enough fun and is trying to pass herself off as me?

No, she isn't like that.

The surveillance cameras...

If I look through the recordings, I should be able to pick up her trail.

An ambulance?

There she is. It's her!

There's no doubt about it.

If there's anything she'd skip lunch to eat...

...it's ramen from G&T!

I hear the gyudon is really good.

It's been a good long while since last time,

and after reexamining some things,

I thought it would be best to sort out our whole setting.

How very meta again.

There is no need for that; we can just sit back and watch the anime.

No, we can't.

There are a lot of things happening that casual viewers won't understand.

That's just Academy City.

- -Yay science! Yay science! - -Yay science! Science is the best!

Yes, yes, very well.

So, what should we discuss?

Personally, mechanical dogs.

- -Mechanical dogs? - -Mechanical dogs?

Yes, mechanical dogs.

Ah, the beautiful mechanical dog!

From time immemorial, dogs have been man's best friend.

In our age of scientific advancement,

it should be no wonder that the first mech to be built would be a dog.

And anime is no exception, either.

Such as?

Well, let's see. This goes back quite a ways,

but I suppose one famous anime dog would be Fr[beep]nder.

I don't really remember it very well,

but I recall there being a living dog who died to save the heroine,

and then they built a robot that was modeled after the dog--

that sounds pretty crazy, doesn't it?

It started out that grim?

Oh, no, the dog still had its memories intact from when it was alive,

so sci-fi-wise, that's defined as still being alive.

Now that is some great science!

For my part, when Cassh[beep]n was called Cassh[beep]n by his father,

instead of his real name, that was scary.

Imagine, not being called by your name just because you became mechanized.

What percentage of cyborg can you become while still being human?

Sci-fi-wise, that's a profound question.

Are there any others?

Well, it's not exactly anime, but take the A[beep]BO.

That's totally a mechanical dog, right?

Yes, that's true!

That is a mechanical dog that completely feels futuristic!

The whirring of its motors, its slightly jerky motions, and that face!

Sure, that's a good example, all right.

I hear that lots of adults dug into their piggy banks to buy one.

I can approve of that! However,

anything designed by Kawa[beep] looks too mechanical!

What about the imitation mechanical dogs in Tera[beep] Bu[beep]'s works?

Let's not even get into those. I mean, say what you will,

but people treating dogs like motorcycles is off kilter!

It's so infuriating. If a student read that, they'd be traumatized!

"The mechanical dog talk went on for most of an hour after this."

Mechanical dogs are deep, huh?

No...

Miss Misaka, you should not trust any information I give you.

Huh? Why not?

Because I may have already been brainwashed by Shokuho Misaki.

Any and all information I give you will be false.

You should consider that possibility.

There may be a clue around here.

Huh?

Isn't that cat her sister's?

No,

that can't be right. After all, she had a black cat.

Then again, my memories may have already been altered by Shokuho Misaki.

Still, clearly, that isn't the one!

You could tell that hers at least was getting enough food to eat.

What will you do, Mitsuko? You don't have time to be getting sidetracked.

But that poor cat...

No, I mustn't leave it to fend for itself. In anime,

cats and babies must be rescued, no matter what the circumstances are!

There, take all of that!

There isn't anything that I cannot send flying!

You have to rescue puppies, too.

Anger at having your friend insulted?

Is psychological dependence on others becoming a trend or something?

You try to look like a hero, doing something for someone else,

but when you find yourself stuck in a situation you can't get out of,

you just blame it on them and wish you hadn't.

It looks like people with no sense of imagination

can't understand that unless they experience it for themselves.

Yes?

What's this now?

Are you all right? Having no skills of your own,

you're not pinning the blame for not getting the job done on the organization.

Or convincing yourself that "there must be something more that I can do."

Then ending up saying the job wasn't a "good fit" for you,

or "different from what you expected," or that you "want to quit."

You know, Baba, this is why people don't like you.

Youngsters these days...

Are you able to speak to cats?

No. My ability is psychometry.

That's a completely different class than telepathy,

so it's not as though I can communicate with them.

Oh... Why the nekomimi hat?

All right...

I see a spiky-haired boy and a girl in white clothing.

"I'm hungry."

"Well, I don't know what you expect me to do about it out of the blue."

Apparently, that's how the encounter went.

White clothing? Spiky hair?

What's he doing there?

Also, they said this:

"What's happening with Auribus oculi fideliores sunt?"

Auribusoculfidelioressunt?

Auribus oculi fi%#$*&!

Aurilibus o-$*&@~!

Auribusoculfidelioressunt...

Auribus oculi fideli&#*=!

Auribus oculi fideliores sunt!

Auribus oculi fideliores sunt.

Ooh!

This is turning into a hassle.

She overate, any way you look at it.

Well sure, if you consume too much of Academy City's highly bizarre foods...

...this is what happens!

"She made it home safely afterward"
