Synopsis
At the same as all that has happened, a disgruntled Mikoto noticing how she isn't getting any mails from Touma even though she sent him a message earlier.

At Judgment Headquarters, Uiharu and Kuroko endure a seemingly endless pile of documents due to many units of Judgment out of commission for the meantime.

Misaka Clone 10032 and the rest of the clones situated in Academy City has fully recovered after the effects of Fuse=KAZAKIRI has worn off.

Kanzaki Kaori continues to learn on how to properly operate one of Academy City's washing machines.

At Yomiwaka Aiho's house, Aiho, Yoshikawa Kikyou and Tsukuyomi Komoe share a talk while drinking beer and enjoying light snacks.

Seiri Fukiyose tries out a neck-massaging apparatus she has heard from Aogami Pierce.

Himegami Aisa discovers a delicious cup of pudding and tries it despite Tsuchimikado Maika's warnings about its effects on her weight.

Last Order wakes up after a full recovery and looks for Accelerator. However, it is Heaven Canceller who greets her. He then reassures her that he will go visit her soon. With that, Last Order continues her rest and Heaven Canceller greets her good night.

Meanwhile, Touma enjoys yet another stay at the same hospital bed he has been resting in whenever he experiences unfortunate events. He is soon visited by Index and Hyouka, and Index proceeds to scold - and bite - Touma for being careless for his own safety.
