~OP~
It's so hot...
So, maybe we shouldn't eat outside any more.
Yes, you have to put on stronger sunblock, too.
You do have on sunblock, don't you, Onee-sama?
Hmm? Why should I?
You should use it!
Because UV-rays are your skin's enemy!
It would be awful if you got spots all over your beautiful skin!
Now, now... Let me rub some of this all over your body for you!
It's all right! I don't need any!
Come on! There's no need to be shy!
Hey! Stop it, Kuroko!
Onee-sama!
Shirai-san.
Wannai-san.
Awatsuki-san, too. What's the matter?
The truth is, we have a favor to ask.
Swimsuit modelling?
Yes. The swimsuit maker who has been taking care of our swim team asked us model no matter what.
I believe it's for their next web catalogue.
All of the upperclassmen are busy with tournaments, so we're the only members who are able to participate.
Onee-sama, let's accept this job!
But being a swimsuit model is pretty tough, you know...
Ah, we thought so too.
I'm sorry-
I've misjudged you, Onee-sama!
Your cute juniors are troubled and you're rejecting them so coldly!
I... I'm...
Hey, you too!
All right, I get it. If you're fine with me, I'll cooperate.
That's just what I expected from Onee-sama!
We're saved!
Thank you very much, Misaka-sama!
Now I'll be able to see Onee-sama in a swimsuit making poses like this or that!
Even more so, she might wear a revealing swimsuit while doing things like this or that!
Then I'll be able-
You're thinking out loud again!
I give up, I give up!
It really feels like we're visiting a business!
It makes you a bit nervous doesn't it?
Thank you for inviting your friends, too.
Don't worry about it. After all, the more the merrier.
But is it all right for us to be swimsuit models also?
It's all right, no matter how loli you are, Photoshop™ can always make you look great.
You're mean, Shirai-san!
Thanks for waiting.
Who's that?
She's the person in charge of the swimsuit line.
Thanks for agreeing to come out and model today.
Oh, where are the other two?
Other two?
Oh my, Shirai-san.
That voice is...
My, what a group. Is this some Social- Studies class field trip or something?
Kongou Mitsuko...
Konori-senpai, too.
Anyway, what're you doing here dressed like that?
Did you forget about the rule where you have to go out in your uniform even on holidays?
I'm not here as a Tokiwadai student today, I'm here as a model.
A model? You too?
Eh? Does that means you girls...
Konori-senpai, are you going to model, too?
Yes, a senpai who's also in Judgement asked me if I would.
What about you girls?
We were asked by the swim team.
I can see this is your first time,
so I'll have to teach you a few things.
I've been modelling since I was a child.
The applause from the audience ringing in my hall...
It still rings in my heart.
Audience... Don't you mean your staff?
Well then, let's go. Could you guide me to the dressing room?
Yes, it's right this way.
Are there any swimsuits that fit me?
Is she an acquaintance of yours?
Yes, several.
I wish she wasn't...
All right, please pick anything that you like.
Okay!
How about this one?
Ah, it looks wonderful.
Wow, this is cute!
This one's good too!
This one isn't very good.
Neither is this one.
Still haven't chosen one?
Oh, you helpless little baby. I'll help you choose one.
I'm fine, thanks.
This halter neck is great for those who have a chest.
This triangle bikini is great for those who do and don't have a chest.
I don't need your help.
With your chest... my condolences.
One day we're going to have a talk and settle things.
Oh, that one's cute isn't it?
You're right! Those frills are great!
Oh, no, that's not it! It's not like I wanted to wear this or anything.
I'd like to see you wear this, Misaka-san!
Me too, please try it on!
No, that's too much...
Don't say that, just try it on!
It'll be really cute!
You think so? If you say so...
Oh, I didn't know you had a taste for childish designs.
N-no way! I'm going to wear this one!
I'm changing now!
What? Did I do something?
Why can't I be honest with myself?
This is a little embarrassing.
We're all girls here, so it's okay.
It suits you well.
Really?
With a bikini, people just see the top and bottom,
but with a one-piece, the whole body line shows, so only slender people look good in it
Oh, you swim team girls really know your stuff.
Are there any other points for picking out swimsuits?
Let's see...
For example, a Sarong is trendy but it's also useful for covering the lower half of the body.
Uh... I'm not trying to hide it or anything!
Thank you all for waiting.
There weren't any custom designs anywhere, but this ready-made design should be fine.
How should I say this...
As expected of Shirai-san...
Individuality is important as well.
Yes...
Onee-tama I know this is unsatisfactory but please bear with it.
I'm not going to bear anything at all.
Ah everyone, is that it?
Observe closely.
Sexy and exotic.
This is what the audience seeks, the ultimate swimsuit model.
Ahhhh, a snake!!
Don't be scared snake...
It's my Ekaterina-chan.
Oh, Ekaterina-chan? What a cute name!
Wanrai-san, that isn't where you should be complimenting.
Please make it go away now!
Oh, why? Especially when it's so cute!
Look this way! Look this way!
What do you think, Shirai-san?
You have bad taste in props.
It's a little tight, but there aren't any bigger sizes, so it'll have to do.
I wish...
There's nothing here.
We're going to be shooting here?
This studio can reproduce various environments.
Wow, you can touch it!
It's the latest in technology from Academy City.
Is the cameraman going to be a guy?
Ah, now that you mention it...
Even though I understand, it's a little bit...
Oh, you're such amateurs. Models shine even more beautifully when they're gazed upon.
The pictures are all taken automatically.
You'll never even see the camera, so please just act natural.
A Certain Scientific Railgun
With a bikini, people just see the top and bottom, but with a one-piece, the whole bodyline shows, so only slender people look good in it
I don't think you could call that "acting natural"...
Onee-sama, let's do it as well.
Do what?
Naturally applying suntan lotion to each other, of course.
That again?! I'm not doing that!
Ah, please wait!
Go away!
I see. That's acting naturally for them.
Wonderful modelling! Just as expected of Misaka-sama.
Let's follow their example.
Wh-What is this place?!
It suddenly got cold...
It seems that whenever the scenery changes, the temperature does, too.
Do they really need to go that far?
Even if you tell us to act naturally...
I'm a model, after all! This is just a cross I have to bear!
Don't try too hard there...
Hot!
This is way too hot.
We're going to get sunburned.
Why this extreme change?
Water! Water!
Too much water!
What's the deal with these extreme changes!
What's with this overly exaggerated ship situation?!
Here I go!
How's my magnificent tuna?!
Oh, too bad! That's actually an Actinopterygii Perciformes Scombridae Euthynnus Affinis.
That isn't the time or the place to be correcting her.
It's also called Yaito tuna in Western Japan.
Oh, it stopped.
What a pretty starry sky! Look!
The earth is over th...
We're on the moon?!
But wow, it's pretty.
It is.
Look over there, that's...!
I'm sorry. I'll adjust it and change the scenery immediately.
Now what?!
A camp ground?
I'm sorry, the camera system has malfunctioned slightly.
It should be fixed soon, so please take a break for now.
A break?
By the way those ingredients are real, so please use them as you like.
As we like, huh? What should we do?
In this type of situation with these ingredients...
We have to make curry!
Let's decide who all will be in charge of the rice and the curry, then.
I'll help with the curry!
Me too!
Then I'll do the rice.
If you are, then I will as well.
Curry, only a commoner could eat that.
Eh, but it's delicious, isn't it?
Do you dislike curry?
You just can't make it, can you?
What are you saying, of course I can!
The ultimate curry passed down in the Kongou family!
Wow, what kind of curry is it?
It sounds delicious! I'd love to eat it!
Please make it!
Actually, I've never had this chance before, so it would be better for me to try out the "commoners" curry.
Why don't we make both? We have enough ingredients.
That sounds good!
I second it!
If you say so.
All right!
Well, that's settled, so we'll leave the rest to you.
We'll handle the rice.
Right!
Look forward to it!
Uh, Kongou-san.
Uh, yes?!
Would it be all right for us to assist?
Please do as you wish.
Then let's peel the onions first.
Okay!
Huh?
It's broken?
This is a big problem.
I know!
Induction heating, huh?
Don't talk to me. It might boil over the top if I'm not careful.
Can you take care of this, too?
What?! There's still more?!
It's really got small.
What do we do with this?
Oh so that's how you make those!
This is evidently all you can get from one onion.
What a precious ingredient!
Did you learn something?
Yes!
Um, Kongou-san. Thanks for teaching us from the beginning.
The truth is we've never made curry before.
We're honored to be able to learn from the best.
Carrots should be cut into ginkgo leaf shapes.
You should cut them large, but not in irregular shapes for curry.
I think cutting them like ginkgo leaves is cuter though. It'll also cook faster.
You don't get it, Uiharu.
It's a basic fact that vegetables in curry should neither be too big nor too small.
In my house, we cut the vegetables into small pieces and melt them into the soup.
No way! You can't do that!
It's much more important to make sure your vegetables look good to make the curry more appealing!
The taste is more important than the appearance!
It tastes delicious too!
Hey, the vegetables should be big, shouldn't they?
No, they should be cut finely, shouldn't they?
They're grating...
Corn...?
Tomato skin...
is rather difficult to peel.
Seaweed...
cut into large pieces... It's rather difficult.
Cutting up tangerines without peeling them...
Thin slices...
The juice squirted in my eyes!
Oh, come on, Awatsuki-san!
I wonder what kind of curry we'll end up making?
Our first curry... I'm looking forward to it.
The ingredients are super unique too.
I never knew burdock mixed well with curry.
And strawberries, too!
Ah, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!
I can hardly wait!
Huh? Kongou-san?
Umm... the truth is... uh, I...
The truth is I've never made curry before.
And it's not only curry; I've never even cooked before.
I'm sorry. The situation just got so out of hand that I couldn't back out of it...
Then let's have everyone teach us how to make curry.
Indeed.
Go! Go! Onee-sama!
Um... Excuse me...
It's done!
Chicken curry!
We made seafood curry.
Seafood curry!
Then, let's eat!
Let's eat!
Delicious!
You can get flavor out of finely cut vegetables too, huh?
Big ones are delicious too!
This is also really delicious.
It really is!
Isn't that great?
It's the fruit of our efforts.
Yeah...
It tastes really good when everyone helps out, doesn't it?
You're a good person. What's your name?
Misaka... Mikoto.
Misaka... I've heard that somewhere...
Well, whatever. I wouldn't mind being your friend, Misaka-san.
Is that so? Thanks.
Excuse me, the system's been fixed so let's resume the photo shoot.
Already?
Oh, you can continue eating.
Let's take a group photo in the meantime.
Ah, it was delicious.
If modelling jobs are like this, I'll do it any time!
It was fun wasn't it?
I'm glad you had fun.
The taste of commoner curry isn't bad every once in a while.
Even though you asked for seconds.
Huh? Where's Misaka-san?
Onee-sama?
Oh, not that button but this one...
Yahoo!
This is so cute!
It's so much fun!
Biribiri? What're you doing?
Take this!
