Here's a summary:

Spoiler for Pt2:

Worst's clothes is some kind of Vietnam native clothing that Yoshikawa won from a lottery. LO's suspicious that the only reason that Worst is wearing that is to show off her bust size. Worst denys that, saying it's suppose to emphasise the waist and legs. LO thought of that since Worst is also a Misaka clone eventually LO will get that big as well. Worst skewered that dream by saying the Worst cloning process uses different chemicals, ie LO isn't ever going to be that big (Could just be Worst trolling LO...).

Spoiler:

It's an [Ao Dai], a Vietnam traditional women's clothes, highly similiar to the Chinese's cheongsam. But yes, the focus isn't on the chest area

And I didn't know there were specific chemicals for enhance bust growth ?

Mugino finished, and ITEM decided to leave. Since the cemetery is in the 10th district, there's plenty of Skill-Out around, and 5 of them tried to rob Shiage since he has 3 other women with him. Shiage tried to warn them and make them leave, since he doesn't want them to get killed by the rest of ITEM.

Then Shiage found Saiai and Mugino is playing being 'Damsel in Distress', and making Shiage looking like he's acting like a hero to protect the girls to troll him. Rikou then latched onto Shiage and told the other two to get lost, he is already her's. It pissed off the Skill-out members greatly and Shiage decided to start running for his life, and Saiai somehow managed to peel Rikou off him as he ran off.

Spoiler:

Shiage is doing the Kamijou 'Act of Mercy' performance on the Skill-Out punks.

I don't know why that move is so popular...

Accel's watching TV, and the media is considering the possibility that the 'Golden Arms' in WW3 was just a mass hallucination. Then the idea was shot down when it was revealed the UN was dumping the leftover arms into the Pacific, as it somehow can rejuvinate ocean life.

WW3 only lasted 12 days.

Accel is wondering what the rest of GROUP is doing; he finally got out of the Dark Side, and he doesn't want to ruin all that by coming into contact with it once more, even if he still has the means to.

That meant he can't check up if Touma has survivied the war or not too.

Spoiler:

How... Convenient that the Golden Arms have healing properties, but more importantly, I thought they would have vanished once Fiamma was defeated? To think they actually have physical bodies...

Wow, even the Iraq took at least two weeks to be 'conquered'... But then again, technically Russia wasn't destroyed. But it does make the whole thing seem fickle...

Yeah, I too was wondering what happen to the other members of GROUP, I assume they'll make their come back in a big way if the freshmen really hammer our heroes to a corner. But assuming they are let off the hook... What else can they do? Awaki might be able to walk away from it, given his connection to Aleister and Laura, Tsuchimikado is way too deep into all this. Etzali is interesting, maybe he would assume leadership over his Cabal?

Yomikawa managed to persuade Accel to go out shopping. LO is coming along, but Worst has a problem. As she is the manifestation of the negative emotions of Misaka Network, she can only express negative emotions. Though Worst can't care less about Accel she has this overwhelming feeling of jealousy coming from the Network (and due to being a Worst clone she can't refuse ill will, hence the name), and yelled out she wants to come along too. When Accel asked her what's up with her, she said she doesn't know either.

Spoiler:

So in other words, Worst would do her Mikoto-impression but on Accelerator?

Just to be specific, when you say "overwhelming feeling of jealousy coming from the Network " , is this a roundabout way of saying her feelings, or the feelings of every other clone on the network?

Shiage kept running. He decided when this is all over he's gonna spank the other three each 100 times hard for getting him in trouble, and his perv nature is already drooling on how Rikou's bare skin might feel.

As he made it over to the 7th district, he bumped into Mikoto, who just walked off listlessly from the contact. Shiage wondered what could possibly make Mikoto look that way, but decided it's none of his business.

Spoiler:

Shiage... Not bad, you would be the prevert hero of the trio. Wear that title with pride for not many protagonist could still mantain a harem and a girlfriend at once... Well there was NaGARsumi, but lets not compare apples with watermelons...

Mikoto depress is just as plan, but hopefully this would lead to something utterly brilliant.

Apparently the dark side is gone, Accelerator has threaten the higher ups to terminate all dark side activities. Thus on the surface, it seems dark side has stopped completely. But in reality, a new group of freshmen has been assembled to continue on the dark side activity. And there first objective is to deal with Accelerator and Hamadura.

The higher ups lacks a legit reason to kill them both. As individual, the threat posed by Accelerator and Hamadura aren't threatening to the point that the higher ups can just come out to crush them. So what should they do? easy, try to make Accelerator and Hamadura team up, thus making them into a deadly force of rebels, and the higher ups now have the reason they need to kill them.

This why Frenda's sister is attacked. She is remotely related to both Accelerator and Hamadura, thus a good means to pull the two of them together.

On the other side, the higher ups are creating new Power Suits that can fight like lv.5

Spoiler:

Like I've said though, they sure are going through alot of trouble just to have two guys greenlit. If they want to kill them just kill them! Who do they have to ask permission from?!

Secondly, Shiage I can understand the connection, but how is her sister connected to Accelerator?

And lastly, when you say fight like Level 5s, do you mean all of them? Like each mech has a different power? Or is it just like Railgun?

[TouMAN]

there is nothing about Touma meeting index or Misaka ?

Doesn't look like it. Please correct me if I just missed it, but I haven't seen anyone confirm Index's appearance in New Testament yet...

Probably eating food.

[faiz blaster]

Just like Mikoto, she gets a short cameo and nothing else.

Doubt it, if that little excerpt is to be believed, Index should be in depression mode similiar to Mikoto.

Of course, but depressed people usually eat a lot of food to fill in that void.

Or they don't eat.

To Chaos

Spoiler:

The jealousy thing, the Worst is receiving the feedback from the entire net work. As she is designed to express the negative emotion in the network. Apparently, the jealousy accumulated in the net work is just too much that Worst couldn't control herself.

As for Fremea, she was under the care of Komaba, and Accelerator killed Komaba. So this made Accelerator has to be responsible for Fremea, as he killed her protector.

Finally, the Power Suits, so far it is just a weapon the mimics the rail gun, and if just the rail gun part alone, it does better than Mikoto herself. And it is said the end, the science is still advancing......

Spoiler:

- So in other words, the jealousy isn't from her own, but rather the pent up frustration from the other clones on the Network?

- AH-HAH! I knew it! That was the girl in his phone! But funny why Frenda herself isn't looking after her own sister, or maybe she was? Hmmm... Wonder why she needed protection in the first place...

- I thought so, Mikoto's Railgun seems to be the easiest power for science to replicate. I swear I saw somewhere that [Gatling Railgun] can fire over 4000 rounds per minute, literally a gatling railgun.

[shmaster]

To chaos:

Spoiler:

Regarding the higher ups, things develop this way because they want to let them be. Despite Accelerator and Shiage are dangerous, the higher ups don't want to confront them directly. After all, fighting them is risky. But the Freshmen want war, then how are they going to convince the higher up that a war is necessary? They have to make Accelerator and Shiage into a threat that the higher up is willing to fight despite the risk. Then they are really lucky to find Fremea, who can tie both Accelerator and Shiage together.

Price printed on the cover: 630yen.
Price I had to pay for the book: S$15.00

[gaboratamer]

Godspeed translation FTW. And Shiage is also fast XD. BTW, did anyone notice that Saten and Erii are in one of the illustrations?

[Teh_Ping]

Spoiler for Well, from thread 47037089#p47044027:

I'll wait for legit translations and not fan fiction shit.

Spoiler for Not to call this a bluff:

And what do you expect me to post, anon? If you think you can do better with trying to force present tense and past tense together, go ahead.

Here's a summary:

Spoiler for NT Ch1:

Pt2
Accelerator and co's daily life. When Accel got back the first thing Yomikawa did was punching Accel's face in, and then hugged him hard.

Is that scene only mentioned or actually elaborated on? If it ain't, I'm writing it down.

[kaizerknight01]

Can't wait for the rest of the chapter of NT to be translated . thanks a lot to the translators and BT

[Teh_Ping]

B-T is down, so to those who haven't read it yet and want to, here:

Spoiler for NT Volume 1 Prologue:

“Quensar! The same guy from the last time appeared again! It’s OBJECT! That strange weapon really exists!! What do we do now, can anti-tank shells work against it!?”

“Isn’t that obvious, Heivia. We can only do that!!”

“Okay…oi oi!! How did you end up with that conclusion? Anyone can tell that it’s stupid!! The enemy’s a monster with a 50+m main body and 100+ cannons of all sizes! Besides, that’s not a machine that can be stopped with one or two direct hit from a nuclear bomb! That thing will destroy everything just by walking whether we shoot at it or not!!”

“You know the main cannon? It’s that stupidly-huge lower-stability type ion cannon. The inside of the cannon is completely hollow, and the heat it produces will blow it off if a magnetic field isn’t used to protect it…so you’re telling me there’s no way? A way to interfere with the inside of that main cannon!”

“Oh? I suddenly thought of something good. I’m great! Wait, am I a genius!?”

“What now, Heivia?”

“Perfect. This is absolutely perfect!! If we do this, Quensar and I will definitely be saved!!”

“JUST HURRY UP AND SAY IT!!”

“Go into the battlefield and act dead.”

“GO GET STOMPED TO DEATH, YOU BASTARD!!!”



“…”

Staring at the large screen, Hamazura’s hand that’s holding the popcorn container inadvertently shudders.

He made the wrong choice.

This stupid movie isn’t meant to be watched with a lover.

“Well, it’s just a Kinuhata-style movie that Kinuhata recommended.”

The one who said this is the ‘lover’ beside him.

The name’s Takitsubo Rikou.

Even if it’s such an occasion, coming here to watch a movie in a cinema, she’s still wearing a pink sports jacket. Most likely, she’ll still be wearing this during a wedding ceremony or a funeral.

To Takitsubo, the most important thing about choosing clothes is being comfortable. However, Hamazura honestly wish that there’s an ero-swimsuit or bunny suit to replace her sports jacket.

Right now, Rikou says with a look that shows that she lost half of her patience with the movie,

“Hamazura, what do we do next?”

Unfortunately, they don’t have much ‘time’ left after dinner. They have to meet up with Mugino and Kinuhata; they have to finish ‘that thing last time’ no matter what.

That’s the case, Hamazura pondered.

His mind isn’t displaying the battle scene on the screen in front of him, but the ‘real’ war that he knows of.

“…Somehow managed to survive the 3rd world war.”

As for who’s the most active character, there’s no way to tell.

[Zakoo]

Oh perfect thanks a lot Teh_Ping.

Also listening to what anon says is quite foolish, this is a gathering of people ill-mouthed.

[Teh_Ping]

Which is how I've been able to last until now; been using these 'critics' as motivation. Honestly, why couldn't they be straightforward and say it to my face? If you're wondering, it's personal.
