Part 1
Kihara Amata: “——This shouldn’t be an unpleasant discussion. You’ll do as the person in charge says,”
Kihara Amata: “And you’ll be blessed with the chance to altogether eliminate a bothersome Level 5.”
Mugino Shizuri: “And the merit to you is?”
Kihara Amata: “I would just like to carry out a little ‘experiment’, however unfortunately ordinary equipment can’t see a thing.”
Kihara Amata: “I’ve been assured that forcing a special esper is essential for this.”
Mugino Shizuri: “So, you want me to do it all by myself?”
Kihara Amata: “Nah, by interfering with something interesting I obtained a maid.”
Misaka Imouto: “……”
Kihara Amata: “It’s a question whether it’s ability is a match for your, however I myself will be the one operating it.”
Kihara Amata: “It should be able to at least provide support.”
Mugino Shizuri: “Well fine. Let’s get going.”
Mugino Shizuri: “While being fourth ranked is good to an extent, I’m tired of such an incomplete number.”
Part 2
Kamijou Touma: “Misaka Imouto? Why are you together with those guys!?”
Misaka Imouto: “……”
Mugino Shizuri: “No no. With the exception of when that occhan {TN: Derogatory for mid aged man} speaks, it’s like you don’t have ears right?”
Kamijou Touma: “Dammit, are you saying she’s being manipulated?”
Tsuchimikado Motoharu: “You lured us here for the sake of the ‘0th Dimensional Pole’?”
Mugino Shizuri: “?”
Kihara Amata: “Unfortunately, with the toolbox at my disposal, it seems I cannot break the 1 dimensional wall.”
Kihara Amata: “I happen to know of a little place where we can go and have a discussion.”
Tsuchimikado Motoharu: “And you think I’ll allow it?”
Kihara Amata: “You’re saying that even at this point huh. Such insubordination, you think I’ll allow it?”
FIGHT (Mugino Shizuri & Misaka Imouto VS. Tsuchimikado Motoharu & Kamijou Touma)
Kamijou Touma: “GAHA! Dammit, that I would fall in such a place……”
Tsuchimikado Motoharu: “Kihara……you bastard, the ‘0th Dimensional Pole’……GUFUH”
Kihara Amata: “Ah ah, is it okay for the hero-chan to fall in the first round?”
Kihara Amata: “With this, doesn’t the road ahead seem pitch black now?”
Mugino Shizuri: “Oi, what’s the ‘0th Dimensional Pole’?”
Kihara Amata: “I’ll inform you about it sooner or later. For now it’s enough to know that it’s something I have an interest in.”
Part 3
Kihara Amata: “The so-called ‘0th Dimensional Pole’ is ‘are’.” (TN: Kihara uses an outdated pronoun that had gone out of usage, hence the reason for the following exchange
Misaka Imouto: “……The definition of that demonstrative pronoun is unknown, says Misaka as she is unable to identify it.”
Kihara Amata: “Aah? What was that?”
Mugino Shizuri: “A word like are, nowadays it wouldn’t be understood even if used between a married couple. Speak proper Japanese.”
Kihara Amata: “If you were to sever a 3 dimensional object, the cross-section would be 2 dimensional.”
Kihara Amata: “For example if I cut through tofu the cross-section would be rectangular. Do you understand so far?”
Mugino Shizuri: “So what?”
Kihara Amata: “It’s fine if you simply repeat that sequentially.”
Kihara Amata: “If one were to sever a 2 dimensional object, which is a flat plane, the cross-section would be a 1 dimensional line wouldn’t it. That is to say———”
Index: “Found them! That person, those people did that to Touma!!”
Itsuwa: “You all did that to that person……, kuh as a member of the Amakusa-style Remix of Church——”
Itsuwa: “No, I swear in my own name, I absolutely won’t forgive you!”
Mugino Shizuri: “Geez, ……things like reading the atmosphere or not reading it”
Mugino Shizuri: “I guess I’ll just have to teach those to you stupid brats.”
FIGHT (Mugino & Misaka Imouto VS. Itsuwa & Index)
Index: “Touma……, Touma, I’m sorry……”
Itsuwa: “They’re beyond strong, we definitely cannot……uh”
Mugino Shizuri: “Soo tiresome, what was that about?”
Kihara Amata: “Damn it, that was regrettable. Killing them was much too easy.”
Kihara Amata: “They don’t appear to be from the science side, I wonder if even their system can be useful for the project.”
Part 4
Mugino Shizuri: “Can I charge for having to successively take out the trash time and again?”
Kihara Amata: “Isn’t taking out the trash typically standard of a volunteer?”
Mugino Shizuri: “If that’s the case, then wouldn’t it be fine just to have that puppet take care of it.”
Kihara Amata: “You may see it that way perhaps however”
Misaka Imouto: “……In relation to the act of combat, it would be more suitable for Mugino Shizuri to handle says Misaka as she performs an analysis.”
Kihara Amata: “Precisely. Kukuku.”
Mugino Shizuri: “So the puppet’s not usable. So, the continuation of the conversation?”
Kihara Amata: “Hmm? Aah, about severing an n dimensional object,”
Kihara Amata: “We had covered up to that part that the cross-section is is n-1 dimensional.”
Kihara Amata: “A 2 dimensional cross-section from a 3 dimensional object, a 1 dimensional cross-section from a 2 dimensional object———”
Kihara Amata: “So if you were to sever a 1 dimensional object, what dimension would the cross-section be?”
Mugino Shizuri: “Huh? ……That would be”
Kihara Amata: “Indeed, that would be 0 dimensional wouldn’t it.”
Stiyl: “At last we caught up. Will you listen carefully?”
Stiyl: “My name is Fortis931.”
Kanzaki Kaori: “……My name is Salvere000.”
Stiyl: “You all, you’ve done something you ought not have. Are you prepared to die?”
Mugino Shizuri: “So. Then. How much of a reward?”
Kihara Amata: “Fine then, if it will seriously motivate you. Now with these ones, they should be interesting samples.”
FIGHT (Mugino Shizuri & Misaka Imouto VS. Kanzaki Kaori & Stiyl)
Kihara Amata: “Tch. For them to croak after only something of this degree makes me doubtful of their usefulness.”
Kihara Amata: “Even though I’m forking over such a troublesome fee is it all going to be a waste?”
Part 5
Kihara Amata: “At present, there isn’t anybody who has observed the existence a 0th dimension.”
Kihara Amata: “However what was a theory until just recently is genuine, the 0th dimension surely exists. And I understand the method for drawing it out.”
Mugino Shizuri: “And you’re going to do that by severing a 1 dimensional ‘point’?”
Kihara Amata: “Precisely. However the issue is the specific means of doing so. It’s completely different from cutting tofu with a kitchen knife.”
Kihara Amata: “I have tried various tests, but after all it’s out of the question for honest experimental equipment to produce honest results.”
Mugino Shizuri: “And so, you’ve busied yourself with selecting choice espers from Academy City through dishonest means.”
Kihara Amata: “That’s correct. Well in my case there was a Level 5 who was fixated on the situation.”
Kihara Amata: “Similarly there was even one from the spatial transference system that utilizes the 11 dimensions——”
Kihara Amata: “Well, at the very least it can be said that I didn’t invite this guy.”
Kihara Amata: “Oi puppet. Your job. Get to work.”
Misaka Imouto: “……Commencing combat mobilization, says Misaka as she makes a proclamation.”
FIGHT (Mugino Shizuri & Misaka Imouto VS. Acqua of the Back)
Mugino Shizuri: “You think I was a little too gentle?”
Kihara Amata: “In that case just kill them gently.”
Mugino Shizuri: “Cheh—. If you would just go a little out of your way I wouldn’t be doing so much killing.”
Mugino Shizuri: “It’s not worth considering even if the ‘opponent’ is top class huh.”
Mugino Shizuri: “I wonder if there isn’t a stronger child.”
Part 6
Mugino Shizuri: “It’s here it’s here. I finally found it. What’s this, doesn’t she seem to be angry with me?”
Kihara Amata: “Isn’t just something like being rivals?”
Mugino Shizuri: “She must not understand just how many people we killed on the way here.”
Misaka Mikoto: “……You guys, you’re saying the ones’ who did that to him was you?”
Misaka Imouto: “Target verified, Original (Onee-sama)———it is Misaka Mikoto herself, Misaka concludes.”
Shirai Kuroko: “Multiple Onee-samas!? ……However, this isn’t a situation where I can enjoy such things after all.”
Misaka Mikoto: “Manipulated, huh?”
Misaka Mikoto: “Just a minute, that low-ranked middle aged man over there, I assume you are prepared right?”
Kihara Amata: “Whatever is fine however is fine or something like that. In short you’re going to beat them up.”
Kihara Amata: “If my 0th dimension is usable then you get a cut, if it’s not usable I’ll be your plaything.”
Mugino Shizuri: “Why are you going to such an extent for this 0th dimension? Is it just the frustration of making a new discovery?”
Kihara Amata: “No such thing. It’s much more practical. With the 0th dimension I’ll understand something even you would understand.”
Mugino Shizuri: “Well whatever.”
Mugino Shizuri: “For be being able to instant kill the third rank is sufficient.”
FIGHT (Mugino Shizuri & Misaka Imouto VS. Misaka Mikoto & Shirai Kuroko)
Misaka Imouto: “……Target is incapable of combat, says Misaka as she reports on the state of affairs.”
Kihara Amata: “What is this what is this. I guess I ought to make use of the space transfer user as well.”
Kihara Amata: “Well, as far as making use of 11 dimensions goes, it’s the exact opposite of my target method.”
Mugino Shizuri: “Which is what?”
Kihara Amata: “It’s no problem if I’m your plaything right?”
Part 7
Mugino Shizuri: “Aah? Who is that low ranker? Saying all those things! Why I oughta!”
Misaka Imouto: “……Target is already incapable of combat, says Misaka as she repeats information.”
Kihara Amata: “Oioi, just leave it there. Geez, doing such things indiscriminately.”
Mugino Shizuri: “So, what’s the profitability of the ‘0th Dimensional Pole’?”
Kihara Amata: “It’s just conjecture until the end but……”
Kihara Amata: “The 0th dimension is one universe.”
Kihara Amata: “The 0th dimension and the 3rd dimension interact, but even the entirety of the 0th dimension doesn’t surpass a single point.”
Kihara Amata: “If we could grasp that ‘one point’ we would be linked to every coordinate in the 3rd dimension.”
Kihara Amata: “That is to say, the result would be an intermediary point for Warp and Teleport.”
Mugino Shizuri: “Things like Teleport aren’t all that rare. Though there aren’t any who have been certified as Level 5.”
Kihara Amata: “Indeed. But since they all use the 11th dimensional method, in the end there’s a limit on range and weight.”
Kihara Amata: “You’ll never see any esper that can jump to the ends of the Milky Way. However, it’s a different story if we’re talking about this new method.”
Kihara Amata: “What I wish for, what I desire I can collect and obtain it even from the edge of the galaxy.”
Kihara Amata: “What I don’t need, what I hate, those can sent off to the edge of the galaxy all at once.”
Kihara Amata: “Freely at any time, anywhere you may desire.”
Kihara Amata: “……Simple isn’t it? Imperialism that is simple beyond belief.”
Accelerator: “You……. Kihara!!”
Kihara Amata: “Tch, so you also came Accelerator. How bothersome.”
Last Order: “E-eeh! Why?”
Misaka Imouto: “……”
Kihara Amata: “In such a situation, you think I’d surrender on the double, you experimental equipment!!”
FIGHT Mugino Shizuri & Misaka Imouto VS. Accelerator & Last Order)
Mugino Shizuri: “Ahh ahh, is this okay? That guy, as far as you were concerned, he was your final wish wasn’t he?”
Kihara Amata: “……, it’s fine, it’s okay.”
Kihara Amata: “Rather, up until now he’s merely been my insurance in case my true desire turns out to be worthless.”
Kihara Amata: “After all, those guys weren’t even a guarantee.”
Part 8
Mugino Shizuri: “So, at last in the end it has come down to this.”
Misaka Imouto: “……In accordance with the instructions, I haved surrounded Mugino Shizuri, says Misaka as she reports.”
Kihara Amata: “It wasn’t exactly a lie in particular. I ought to have said it from the start.”
Kihara Amata: “If you cooperated with me, you would be blessed with the chance to obliterate one of the top ranking Level 5’s.”
Kihara Amata: “Now it’s your turn to grant my request.”
Kihara Amata: “And that is……to become experimental equipment.”
Mugino Shizuri: “My Meltdowner (Atom Destroyer),”
Mugino Shizuri: “is an ability is to change electrons into a state that is neither a particle nor a wave, and while in that ambiguous state fire them at high speeds.”
Kihara Amata: “The ability that, to electrons that fasten together everything on the micro level, forcibly manipulates them while completely ignoring quantum theory.”
Kihara Amata: “As you said, in a sense Mugino Shizuri is no less a monster that Misaka Mikoto.”
Kihara Amata: “Isn’t that the ideal 1 dimensional ‘point’ to destroy.”
Kihara Amata: “Well then, beast! Make it so that her ability is as nothing but marionette!”
FIGHT (Mugino VS. Fuse Kazakiri)
Mugino Shizuri: “This guy is also a calamity herself isn’t she.”
Mugino Shizuri: “In spite of that though, what’s this. Huh Kihara Amata?”
Mugino Shizuri: “To have only been planning for this since before, how befitting a small fry like you.”
Mugino Shizuri: “Be that as it may, I have learned something useful as a result.”
Part 9
Mugino Shizuri: “This is the ‘0th Dimensional Pole’……”
Mugino Shizuri: “Fhun, well I’ll have to take my time analyzing this afterwards.”
Mugino Shizuri: “Nah, it’s too dull to be all that satisfying.”
Mugino Shizuri: “Even for the big shots of Academy City, it’s so completely insignificant they wouldn’t so much as stir.”
Mugino Shizuri: “What’s with that. Soon it will completely fade away, this world that is.”
Mugino Shizuri: “Well then at this point, I’ll just crush it then.”
