Having spent a dramatic and acrobatic summer vacation,
I, Kamijo Touma, obviously had no chance whatsoever to do summer homework.
Regardless of this fact, I spent the last day pretending to be the Shocker's boyfriend...
...and dueling with a magician.
However, completely out of left field was an encounter that took place just past midnight on August 31st.

Last Order
Ending
Since my battle with that Kamijo guy,
it appears I'm no longer considered the strongest in Academy City.
This, despite the fact that I'm still a Level 5...
...and that my powers haven't changed...
No matter how many times I show them who's boss,
these idiots just never learn.
What exactly has changed in me?
Something's just different.
Something did change.
But what?
What could it be?!
What do you mean you don't feel anything?!
PLACEHOLDER
Don't you realize that "Hey, she's actually a girl",
PLACEHOLDER
that if you don't carry a bit of shame in this act-
Let's bounce the useless noise.
Huh?
What's this hooded, hunchback runt saying?
Oh shoot.
"Wow, how should I put it?"
"To think you'd have completely no reaction whatsoever, that's actually a really good feeling."
"But assuming you are malevolently ignoring me, your walking pace is too normal to suggest so."
"Conclusion, you must be the ultimate natural person," says MISAKA says MISAKA as she tilts her head.
Pathetic...
"MISAKA has MISAKA has been appealing her existence to you continuously for a while now,"
"yet you completely disregarded it altogether?"
Hold it.
Misaka, you say?
"Ohh, so you finally acknowledged MISAKA's existence, woohoo!"
as MISAKA self-praises MISAKA self-praises.
Hey, take off your hood and show your face clearly.
"Huh? Asking a girl to undress in the middle of the road..."
"...is quite a daring feat and a reckless demand-"
Huh?
"MISAKA's serial number is 20001 and is part of the last lot production of the Sisters,"
"yet my code is literally 'Last Order'."
"MISAKA was supposed to be used in the 'experiment',"
grumbles MISAKA grumbles MISAKA.
Oh, is that right?
"Yet the experiment got nulled, and MISAKA got released from the incubation tank in the middle of the process."
"So it seems like the body is quite compact and..." complains MISAKA complains MISAKA-
"Hey, are you listening?"
And what do you want from me?
"You had connections with the scientists,"
"so could you get in contact with them," thought MISAKA thought MISAKA.
Look somewhere else.
"Yay! Immediate answer, immediate rejection, big fat no!"
cries MISAKA cries MISAKA a bit desperately.
"But, there is nowhere else MISAKA can go,"
as MISAKA as MISAKA doesn't give up hope.
"Please take care of MISAKA~"
as MISAKA as MISAKA strikes pre-emptively.
"Where is your room?"
asks MISAKA asks MISAKA.
Room 304.
"Coming in!" as MISAKA as MISAKA tries to be polite.
Excuse me?
"That was completely someone else's room"
as MISAKA as MISAKA shows some indignation.
"This time, tell me the number of the room you live in,"
asks MISAKA asks MISAKA.
Room 307.
"Coming in!"
I didn't order any food.
"Why are you being so mean?"
asks MISAKA asks MISAKA while letting her shoulders drop.
Come on now...
What the hell's this?
"Wow, this is a big mess,"
as MISAKA as MISAKA is speechless.
Pathetic.
"Umm, shouldn't you contact Anti-Skill or Judgment for something like this?"
as MISAKA as MISAKA suggests unnecessarily.
What are you going to do?
It might be safer for you to sleep outside rather than in here.
"Even so, MISAKA wants to accept your hospitality,"
begs MISAKA begs MISAKA.
Huh? Why?
"Because MISAKA wants to be with someone..."
says MISAKA says MISAKA...
Do what you want.
"Just putting this out there... don't try to assault MISAKA in the middle of the night!"
says MISAKA-
Sleep already!
"People's sleeping expression really shows their true selves"
says MISAKA says MISAKA using a fake Kyoto accent.
You're still here?
"Good morning!"
"Actually, it's already a time in the day to be saying 'good day'."
"MISAKA is hungry, so if you could cook something,"
"MISAKA's MISAKA's happiness rating would go up by 30."
"Hey, the kitchen's not over there."
Do I look like I'm someone who'd do that?
"And in order to be surprised there,"
"MISAKA anticipated a family-friendly Accelerator equipped with an apron-"
fantasizes MISAKA fantasizes MISAKA...
"Hey, wait!"
"Is your hair color natural?" inquires MISAKA inquires MISAKA.
I'm not too sure of the details myself.
The body's pigments are supposed to protect us from UV rays.
I'm deflecting away all superfluous UV rays, so my body doesn't need any.
"So there was a reason, after all," says MISAKA says MISAKA in a surprised manner.
"Which one shall MISAKA order?"
Great...
"Pizza, Hamburg steak, spaghetti, or curry?"
Isn't that... Amai Ao?
What the hell is that guy doing here?
"What are you looking at?" asks MISAKA asks MISAKA.
Remember your top priority again!
"Huh? To eat a meal?" answers MISAKA answers MISAKA immediately.
Here's your order.
"This might be the first time MISAKA had a hot meal," as MISAKA as MISAKA cries for joy.
Pathetic.
What?
You're not going to eat?
"MISAKA wants to try saying 'itadakimasu' once," requests MISAKA requests MISAKA.
Yeah? Go ahead.
"Itadakimasu!"
"It's very delicious!" praises MISAKA praises MISAKA.
Huh?
This is just a plethora of frozen food.
"Delicious food is delicious!"
"And eating a meal with someone else brings a different feeling," as MISAKA as MISAKA suggests a mentality theory.
What kind of stuff is inside your brain?
It's not like you don't know what I did to the rest of you, right?
"MISAKA is neurally connected to all MISAKA,"
"so of course MISAKA knows," says MISAKA says MISAKA.
So why can you be so calm in front of me?
"MISAKA was taught MISAKA's value by MISAKA," concludes MISAKA concludes MISAKA.
Huh?
"Even if a single MISAKA dies, there's no way the entire MISAKA network would disappear."
"But every single MISAKA's life has its own worth."
There's only one of you in this world, isn't there?!
"Someone will cry for MISAKA if MISAKA were to die, that was what MISAKA was taught."
"That's why MISAKA will not die anymore."
"None of us are allowed to die anymore," concludes MISAKA concludes MISAKA.
"Without you, the experiment would never have been proposed,"
"and souls would never have been 'injected' into lifeless MISAKA," thanks MISAKA thanks MISAKA.
Thank?
What's with that joke?
It still doesn't change the fact that I took pleasure in giving you Sisters a massacre.
"That's a lie,"
opines MISAKA opines MISAKA.
"You really didn't want to do the experiment," theorizes MISAKA theorizes MISAKA.
Exactly how do you beautify what happened and come up with that conclusion?!
The fact I kept continuing with the experiment meant that I thought nothing of your lives!
That's all there is to this.
"You tried to communicate with MISAKA many times."
"What was your objective in that?" asks MISAKA asks MISAKA rhetorically.
Why're you running?
Flashing your buttocks so joyfully at me like that...
You leading me on or something?
Well, you realize I don't really have to confirm anything because it's an experiment that's trying to make me stronger...
But you sure look calm knowing your situation...
Great.
I wanted to kill some time, but that doesn't seem possible.
I can't talk with you at all.
"All of these were strange conversations," analyzes MISAKA analyzes MISAKA.
"The principle of communication, to talk with someone, is to establish a link with others,"
"and if it were just to make the experiment successful, then you wouldn't have had a need to engage in a conversation,"
theorizes MISAKA theorizes MISAKA.
Where do those dirty words say I want to establish a link with others?
"Yes, that is the second strange part," as MISAKA as MISAKA raises two fingers.
"All of your words were unreserved and were all insults on MISAKA."
"That diverges from the reason of wanting to establish a link with others."
"But, if one assumes these were words that desired a denial in response..."
"All of your words were spoken before the experiments..."
"...in other words, the battles," recalls MISAKA recalls MISAKA.
"As if to scare MISAKA."
"As if to make MISAKA scared so that she won't want to fight anymore," suggests MISAKA suggests MISAKA.
"All MISAKA were not able to notice your sign."
"Let's assume MISAKA said she didn't want to fight anymore, what would you do?"
discourses MISAKA discourses MISAKA on a decision in the past.
Enough of this.
Hey.
"MISAKA is still in a condition where her body is incomplete."
"MISAKA should not even be outside the incubation tank, but..."
as MISAKA as MISAKA lets out a sigh.
"MISAKA was able to manage thus far and should be fine," thought MISAKA thought MISAKA...
Hey.
"Are you going away?" inquires MISAKA inquires MISAKA.
"There's still some food left on the table."
I don't feel like eating anymore.
"MISAKA sees."
"MISAKA wanted to say 'thanks for the meal' as well," as MISAKA as MISAKA lets out a sigh.
Yeah?
Too bad.
What the hell am I doing all the way here?
Yo.
Oh, welcome back.
You didn't have to break the door; your ID card is still in effect for another 90 days.
I'd already broken it.
Is that so?
Is drowning yourself in this room with all this data the entire day any fun?
Not at all.
If possible, I'd even want your assistance.
Give it up.
Hey, Yoshikawa.
Which one of these is the Sisters' experimental body adjustment manual?
And I'm going to borrow one set of adjustment equipment, as well.
Don't ask the reason.
Just consider this an experimental stipend for me, who never got paid because of the cancellation of the experiment.
How did you find out?
I only noticed this a few hours ago,
and I'm still trying to debug the problem inside their personality files.
How did you...
Huh?
Perhaps, I should call it a virus to be more accurate.
Hold it.
What are you talking about?
I didn't explain this to you, did I?
About the special experimental instance, known as Last Order.
She's... special?
"She", eh?
She was never made to be part of the experiment to begin with.
They were made to be killed by me, weren't they?
Yes.
But how many battles needed to take place for the experiment to finish?
Twenty thousand, exact.
"MISAKA's serial number is 20001 and is part of the last lot production of the Sisters,"
Yes, she is an instance that was not part of the experiment.
Last Order is the command center of the MISAKA network.
For that purpose, her development was held up intentionally.
We took care of her in secrecy even after the experiment was terminated.
However, someone overwrote her program with malcode.
The action she took to prevent that was to run away from here.
That happened seven days ago.
The virus activation time we found out was tonight, September 1st, 12:00 am.
If the virus is activated
all Sisters will be infected through the MISAKA network and will go berserk.
At that point, no one can stop them.
And what's the content of this virus?
Most likely an indiscriminate attack against all humans.
Interesting.
Our suspect is a war instigator or weapons supplier?
Amai Ao.
Former researcher of the Radio Noise Project.
No one is more familiar with the Sisters' personality files than him.
I just saw him actually.
Say what?
Anyway, how do we stop the virus inside her brain?
That's what I'm investigating now.
However, if we don't find a resolution by the time limit...
Are you thinking about...
Yes, we'll need to dispose of her.
I am doing what I can so that we don't end up doing that.
Of course, you can do something, as well.
I'm the guy that butchered 10,000 of those Sisters.
And you're asking that bad guy to save who now?
I shall answer that by saying we're the ones that made you do that.
If there had been a way of evolving you into a Level 6 without having to use the Sisters,
then you wouldn't have had to kill anyone.
You want me to trust and obey you for just that one reason?
I won't force you if you don't want to.
There are two things you can choose to do now.
One, capture Amai Ao, make him talk about the virus' structure, and resolve the incident.
Two, secure Last Order, who bears the virus in her right now, and put her back into the incubation tank.
You seem to have an acquaintance with both targets.
So you don't need any explanation, huh?
The data and files on both of them.
Pick your poison.
Of course, you're more adept at destroying than protecting.
You're right about that.
It's obvious to anyone which one's the right one to pick.

There's only a little time left before the activation of the virus.
The desperate idea that Accelerator came up with.
Will a miracle happen for him, who's trying to defy fate?
Next time, "Virus Code".
When science and magic cross paths,
this epic will begin!
