You're not going anywhere!
Wait a second! I'm just...
Prepare to die!
Misaka-san!
Oh.
Uiharu-san and Saten-san...
Did something just happen now?
I heard this really loud noise.
Don't worry, it was just...
Today is my anniversary with Onee-sama.
It has been exactly one month since the red string of fate tied us together.
It's too bad that the gift I ordered didn't arrive, but...
Today, I'll give her something even better.
A gift that comes from the bottom of my heart!
Yes! Me! As I was born!
I'm...
Onee-sama!
back-
Sorry to bother-
Oh, wow, so this is what an Ojou-sama's room looks like.
It's so stylish and chic.
The bed is really soft too!
Yeah, it is!
Geez, what's your problem?
This is great!
You should try it too, Uiharu!
You too! Why did you bring along Uiharu-san and Saten-san?
Oh, I just happened to meet them while I was out in the city.
We went shopping together, and...
they said they wanted to come see our dorm, so...
Shopping?
Eh?
Oh, I just...
The Tokiwadai dorms are as fabulous as I had imagined.
I'm so jealous.
The dining hall is huge, too!
Well, not really...
Damn it! Why did Onee-sama have to bring them today, of all days!?
Our anniversary is totally screwed up now!
Oh, it must be that...
Today is a very special day. It's been one month since Kuroko and I were bound together by the red string of fate!
We're two halves of a whole.
Uiharu-san, Saten-san, please take care of us.
Here's looking at you, kid.
Umm... Shirai-san, are you okay?
Oh, it's nothing.
Now, now. We don't have much to offer you, but...
Please make yourselves comfortable-
Er...
What are you doing, Saten-san?
Well, when you go over to a friend's house...
You're supposed to investigate, right?
Oh ho! Erotic!
Saten-san! Don't invade other people's privacy!
Nice work, Misaka-san. Very adult.
No, that's...
It's mine!
This is Shirai-san's?
This incredibly revealing one?
It's not that revealing.
Black panties are a requirement for a proper lady.
This pair with the red butterfly, too?
I use that color when I'm feeling frisky.
And this stringy T-back?
That one is quite useful. It doesn't leave any marks on my skin.
And these full body mesh stockings?
Sometimes a woman just has to become a panther.
W-what are you doing, Saten-san!?
Oh, you know, it's just my usual routine.
Seeing your striped panties always calms me down.
Why do you have to make such a big deal over underwear?
Take a look. I have a lot more!
A pearl textile open bra and a baby doll with frills.
A garter belt and a lacy teddie.
And...
What a relief.
So Shirai-san wears that kind too.
My Shirai-san has returned!
Sorry... These are mine...
Wait a second, Kuroko!
Why is my underwear under your bed!
Huh?
It's a misunderstanding, Onee-sama!
Calm down, Misaka-san...
Ooh, I want to see your photo albums!
Going for the basics, huh?
I really want to see how you two looked in elementary school.
Eh..
Oh, so cute!
Is this your elementary school entrance ceremony?
Is that beautiful person next to you your mother?
Um... yes...
What a nice kimono.
This is embarrassing...
I have to say, though, this is kind of unexpected.
What is?
Well, Misaka-san, you're a Level 5 and the ace of Tokiwadai.
I would have figured that you were from an upper-class family.
You know, someone who's been walking the path of the elite their entire life.
Oh, that's not it at all.
I started out as a Level 1. I was just a normal kid.
I see...
Let's look at Shirai-san's next.
Oh, I would love to...
Unfortunately, I don't have a photo album.
Huh?
I live in the present.
Instead of dwelling in the past or dreaming of the future,
I want to live in the present.
That's something I've promised myself.
Isn't it this?
AAAAAGH!
That isn't allowed!
Oh my...
Kuroko!
You should be reflecting on the present, not the past or the future!
I'm just that serious about you, Onee-sama!
Don't you remember what today is?
I thought you brought Uiharu-san and Saten-san here because of that...
Today?
Uiharu-san and Saten-san...
Oh, come to think of it...
You remember now?
Yeah. This is a very important day. It's been a week since I met Uiharu-san and Saten-san.
Time sure flies. It's already been a week...
Well, I guess it's more like it's only been a week, huh?
It sure feels like we've been together forever.
Let's keep sticking together, okay?
Why does she treat them so much better than me!?
Am I unnecessary!?
This Azuki bean...
No one notices you. They just throw you out.
I'm just like this poor little Azuki bean!
Hey, this is great!
Oh. wow!
Pork cutlet sandwiches?
And after that, Uiharu...
Hey, Saten-san!
That's horrible!
Pipe down, will ya?
I'm drowning my sorrows in Shiruko.
Huh?
How I could not be!?
Um...
All this after only a week!
Don't make me laugh!
A month...
It has been exactly one month since the red string of fate tied us together!
One month ago, on this same day,
we ended up becoming roommates by coincidence.
We've eaten and slept together since then.
We've even shared in each other's triumphs and defeats.
Right here! Right here in this room!
Yet, yet... Onee-sama, you...
Shirai-san...
Maybe we aren't welcome...
Kuroko...
You...
Onee-sama?
You barged in here, didn't you?
It wasn't a coincidence. Or the red string of fate.
And what are you going on about?
Happiness? Sorrow?
Um, I have some business to attend to...
Drowning your sorrows in Shiruko?
Stop making crap up!
Ouch, ouch, ouch!
It's a difference of opinion!
That's right! Perversion must be stamped out!
No, I said it was a difference of opinion.
And I just...
I just wanted to celebrate this day quietly.
Hello?
This is FedEx.
Is this room 208, Shirai Kuroko-san's room?
Yes.
And... What are the contents?
They're labeled as PC parts.
Of course.
Those guys really know what's going on.
Who sent it?
Love and Chinese Traditional Hypersexual Love Potions, LTD.
Damn, they should have hidden that part!
Kuroko, why do you need a love potion for a "quiet celebration?"
Um...
It looks like drastic measures will be required to stamp out your perversion.
I'm gonna zap you into charcoal!
O-Onee-sama...
You mustn't forget my ability.
We have no choice but to eat or be eaten!
If you can't accept my love,
then please duel me!
Onee-sama?
Dormitory Law, code 9,
The use of abilities inside of the dormitory is absolutely prohibited.
You can't have forgotten, Shirai.
Hmm?
O-oh, good afternoon, dormitory supervisor.
Of course I haven't.
No, we weren't just using our abilities haphazardly...
We had a very good reason...
I see.
Unavoidable circumstances, you could say?
T-that's right!
Actually...
But...
K-Kuroko~
I cannot protect the law and order of the dormitority if I take "unavoidable circumstances" into account.
Those who break the rules must be punished.
Don't you agree, Misaka?
Y-yes.
#2 You need to stay hydrated if you work under the sun
A Certain Scientific Railgun
Geez... Why do I have to do this?
I mean, I may have overdone it a little, but...
I can't believe that the penalty for that is...
Cleaning this huge freakin' pool!
Seriously, of all the things they could have had us do! This is impossible!
We've been doing this since morning! It's already past noon!
How can we not have finished even a third of it?
Are we going to be able to finish this today?
I'm lucky.
Being with a sweaty, dripping Onee-sama at the pool...
Private time for just the two of us.
This is a once in a million chance to make up for yesterday's failure!
Onee-sama,
Huh?
You need to stay hydrated when you work under the sun.
Why don't you try this special drink of mine?
No need.
W-why not?
You haven't poured your "PC parts" into that drink, have you?
As I thought.
Shirai-san?
Oh, it's Shirai-san.
What are you doing here?
As you can see,
we're cleaning the pool.
But why?
It may be summer right now, but the cold wind of society continues to blow.
And what about you two?
Well, we're on the swim team, so...
Kuroko's classmates.
That means...
They're younger than me...
Onee-sama,
these are my classmates,
Wannai Kinuho-san and Awatsuki Maaya-san.
Good afternoon.
And this is...
Please excuse me, but would you be Misaka-sama?
Oh?
Well, I am, but...
So you are!
Do you not remember me?
You saved me from some very violent men once.
Oh, I think I remember that...
I'm very grateful that you saved me.
I've heard a lot of great things about you.
I'm delighted to be able to meet you.
Well, that's just how Onee-sama rolls.
She's always off punishing bad guys, even when I'm not around.
But men are so scary...
But, yeah, really...
All the weirdos come out when it gets warm!
You really are awesome!
Yeah, you were so totally cool back then!
Oh, it was nothing.
This is...?
That's so cruel.
Deja vu!?
No, it's just my imagination!
I'm just on edge because of what happened yesterday!
There's no way I'm the only one not being included again!
It must be tough, working under the sun like this.
I have a sports drink with me...
If you would like some...
Oh, thank you.
I'll take it.
NO WAY!
Why is she treating them so much better than me!?
Come to think of it...
She always tries to ignore me, no matter the situation.
And, whenever I take steps to strengthen our relationship,
she rejects me flat-out.
Is Onee-sama seriously avoiding me?
Stay strong, Kuroko!
If you lack confidence, you just need to find some!
If something is worrying you, then just blow it away!
Yes, something only I can do...
I can help Onee-sama in countless ways with my teleportation ability!
Oh, awesome!
You're cleaning it so quickly!
I have the ability to control the flow of water.
I need to hand in a report about the equipment.
Can I help you after I'm done with that?
Oh, but...
I just want to repay you for saving me in some way.
Thank you!
You'll be a great help!
I'm glad I can help.
You really are awesome...
We'll finish in no time with your help!
Thank you!
See you later, then.
I'll leave the drinks here, so feel free to help yourself.
They're nice kids, huh, Kuroko?
Certainly.
They're so helpful.
She might be able to get it done in less than ten minutes.
Certainly.
I wanna get this over and eat some ice cream.
Certainly.
What's the Chinese dynasty that came into being in the 10th century?
Sou.
What's with you?
You don't seem very lively.
It's nothing. Please don't mind me.
I'm so useless. I can't even clean.
If something is worrying you...
No need!
I'm not worthy of being in Onee-sama's presence.
All I do is cause you trouble. I can't help you at all.
Someone like me doesn't deserve to be by your side!
What am I supposed do?
I can't understand you... this is so sudden...
I wonder if Misaka-san gave it to her?
Well, we should have seen her doing it.
I mean, we did go shopping with her.
I want to see how Shirai-san reacts.
Her choice of underwear was pretty...
That's right.
I didn't think she liked stuff like that.
Oh well. It's the thought that counts, right?
Yeah.
Hey, Kuroko?
Do you remember about this day, a month ago?
This day, a month ago?
Yes.
You barged into my room that night,
and the dormitory supervisor found you and punished us, right?
And we were forced to clean the dining hall the next day...
We've managed to stick together through thick and thin since then, huh?
I think that today...
is a very special day for us.
Oh...
Here.
C-can I open it?
Sure!
Looks like we're gonna be together forever after this, so...
Here's to you, Kuroko.
Oneesama, did you just say we'd be together forever?
Of course.
We're inseparable partners. We live in the same room and go to the same school.
Here...
Three cheers for being partners!
Partners tied by the red string of fate!
Partners who are roommates.
Okay, let's get back to work.
Onee-sama...
Onee-sama~
Shouldn't you wear a swimsuit while working in the pool, in case you get wet?
Huh?
Well, I didn't want to go to the trouble of finding one...
Not to worry...
Look!
I have your school swimsuit with me!
I thought I had it locked up!
Locks mean nothing to me.
Now, now, please put it on.
Huh?
Onee-sama, your swimsuit is so childish.
Kuroko! Give them back!
Like I said, swimsuits...
Oh...
Oh my, these two are a pair!
A pair!
A pair with Onee-sama!
Kuroko!
Looks like they're having fun.
Misaka-sama, I'm finished, so I came to help.
Onee-sama's loving beating! So wonderful!
Just give it back to me!
I'm telling you... to give it back!
I won't.
Ecstasy!
You're still talking about that?
Give it back! Give it back, damn it!
We didn't see anything...
Give it back, damn it!
Yes...
Kuroko won't lose.
I will be beside Onee-sama forever.
