- Misaki: I can't believe you would contact me.
- Misaki: Interested in leaving your Onee-sama and joining me?
- Misaki(small): Finally.
- Kuroko: No, I am not.
- Kuroko(small): That will never happen.
- 02
- Kuroko: This is part of my investigation.
- Misaki: I see.
- Misaki: About Houjou?
- Kuroko: I am glad you understand.
- Kuroko: As you have guessed, I would like you to tell me...
- Kuroko: everything you know about her and the Tokiwadai incident.
- Kuroko: Shokuhou.
- Kuroko: ...-san.
- Kuroko: I believe you are a central figure to this case.
- Misaki: Don't bother with honorifics.
- Misaki(outside): Let's keep it friendly☆
- Kuroko: My apologies.
- 03
- Kuroko: Shokuhou Misaki.
- Kuroko: I am well aware she is dangerous and she is also Onee-sama's rival.
- Kuroko: I hate relying on her.
- Kuroko: But this is my duty, so I must.
- Misaki: So there's the give.
- Misaki: But what's my take ability?
- Kuroko: I was getting to that.
- Kuroko: But...
- Kuroko: information and money...
- Kuroko: would not work as bargaining chips with you.
- Kuroko(outside): And money is against the rules anyway.
- Kuroko(thought): Roundabout negotiations against the strongest psychological esper would be folly.
- Kuroko(thought): I need to be straightforward.
- Kuroko: I was honestly unsure what I could offer...
- Kuroko: but I did find an answer.
- 04
- Kuroko: Myself.
- Misaki: Hm?
- Kuroko: In exchange for the information you provide...
- Kuroko: I will work for you.
- Misaki: Oh, so you WERE here to join me❤
- Misaki(outside): Welcome
- Kuroko: ONLY TEMPORARILY.
- 05
- Misaki: You'll do anything I ask?
- Label: Shoku
- Kuroko: Yes.
- Label: Kuro
- SFX: Reach
- Misaki: That is a unique offer ability...
- Misaki: but to be blunt...
- Misaki: I can do that myself with this.
- Kuroko: I will obey you of my own free will.
- Kuroko: Doesn't that hold some value to you?
- Misaki: Oh?
- Misaki: So you remembered.
- Misaki: That was before summer break, wasn't it?
- Misaki(flashback): Your rarity ability...
- Misaki(flashback): would shine brightest with me.
- Misaki: Not a bad idea.
- Misaki: But...
- 06
- SFX: Place
- Misaki: I am...
- Misaki: serious.
- Misaki: How about we start out as friends?
- Misaki: I want to know more about you.
- Kuroko: Huh?
- Kuroko: Wh-what are you talking about now?
- 07
- Misaki: Misaka-san...
- Misaki: does not really need you.
- Misaki: Of course.
- Misaki: That is not limited to you.
- Misaki: Misaka Mikoto generally does not rely on others.
- Misaki: Part of that is her not wanting to get you involved...
- Misaki: but she also thinks it is faster to solve everything on her own.
- Misaki: And in fact...
- Misaki: it is.
- 08
- Misaki: Meanwhile,
- Misaki: my policy ability is different.
- Misaki: An individual's true value...
- Misaki: shines brightest within a group.
- Misaki: You have the finest of shines.
- Misaki: You are a noble pure white platinum.
- Misaki: You can frame a diamond like me better than anyone.
- Misaki: You would be a prize.
- Misaki: I, Shokuhou Misaki,
- Misaki: want you,
- Misaki: Shirai Kuroko.
- 09
- Misaki: Okay?
- SFX: Whoosh pop
- Misaki: Did I freak you out?
- Kuroko: No.
- Kuroko(small): That was a reflex.
- Kuroko: I do not need you to tell me...
- Kuroko: Onee-sama does not need help.
- Kuroko: She can...
- Kuroko: run any distance all on her own.
- 10
- Kuroko: But if...
- Kuroko: she gets tired while running and sits down to rest...
- Kuroko: I want to nestle up to her.
- Kuroko: Because that is my role and my pride.
- Kuroko: I took that a little too seriously.
- Misaki: Hmm.
- 11
- Misaki: Powerful feelings like that...
- Misaki: can sometimes summon a miracle.
- SFX: Whisper
- Misaki: Nothing can stain platinum.
- Misaki: Well.
- Misaki: I will accept that as a compromise just this once.
- Kuroko: Then...
- Misaki: But do not regret this.
- Misaki: When you are working for my clique...
- 12
- Misaki: You must call me "Queen"...
- Misaki: in front of your Onee-sama❤
- Junko: The Queen has found another understander.
- Misaki: So is it a deal?
- Kuroko: What are you-
- Misaki: You said you would do anything, didn't you?☆
- Kuroko: Gh!?
- Kuroko: I shouldn't have said that.
- Misaki: My, how exciting☆ Time for a trial clique experience.
- Misaki(outside): I can't wait☆
- Misaki: And it probably will not be long...
- Misaki: before I have you do some work for me.
- SFX: Crackle
- Text: The give-and-take deal has been made despite the great sacrifice involved!!
