July 19th Part 1 is the sixth chapter of the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun manga series.

Synopsis

37.3 degrees celcius was Uiharu Kazari's temperature as Saten Ruiko measured it. Uiharu has a slight fever and Saten feels bad about it since it was her that was having Uiharu tag along . Saten proposed to give Uiharu her class notes, but Uiharu replied saying that she will catch up herself. Since its summer break starting tomorrow, Saten will help Uiharu cure her cold.

Kuroko, thinking to the point were she is confused, asks Mikoto if the gravitation bombing cuprit was the one she seized. Mikoto says that she was definatel sure, but Kuroko points out that the bank says that his ability is that of a Level 2, but Mikoto says it was exactly identical of that of a Level 4. With both of them confused, Mikoto says that they should have a break and eat flavored ice. Kuroko orders the same thing as Mikoto (strawberry flavored) and Kuroko says that whenever you listen to the wind chimes, it feels like it's colder when it's really the same temperature. Mikoto says it has something to do with synesthesia. A single simulation evoking two perceptions. She gives the example of looking at cool and warm colors. When you see red it gives you the impression that it's warmer, but when you see blue you feel colder.Kuroko comments on how the human brain is surprisingly simple when Saten approaches them. Saten also gets some flavored ice along with them.

Mikoto asks about Uiharu's condition and Saten replies saying that she has a slight fever and she mistakenly bought medicine for a fever instead of a cold. Saten asks if she could try some of Mikoto's strawberry ice and she allows her to. In exchange Saten gives Mikoto some of her lemon ice and this activates an envious Kuroko. Kuroko tries to get Mikoto to eat some of her ice, but Mikoto reminds her that they bought the same thing. With this Kuroko bangs her head against the ground.

Mikoto asks Saten if she knew anything else about a device called the level upper. Kuroko takes this into consideration with her investigation, but Saten says that it's nothing but a rumor. Mikoto starts wondering does something like this truly exist (as she throws the cups on the floor to get cleaned up by the cleaning robots). Kuroko says it might be true since some of the crimes commited didn't match their level of how much damage was done. They ask Saten some more questions and she says that there are some people who say that they have "applied" the level upper before. Kuroko says that it might be hard to believe them and says that it might be better if they confront them. With that, Mikoto and Kuroko run off and leave Saten on the park bench.

Mikoto confronts some thugs at a restaraunt (while Kuroko is sitting on another table spying on them). She asks them is they know anything about the Level Upper.

Two hours ago, Mikoto and Kuroko were on the laptop searching were the Level Upper users might meet. Mikoto comments on that there are people who use their real name to write comments. Kuroko does a check on them and finds out that most of them has bad conduct. Mikoto suggests that she goes undercover and talks with them, which Kuroko goes against since she is a civilian. Mikoto says that if Kuroko goes er Judgment identity might be exposed. Without much argument Kuroko allows Mikoto.

Back at the restaurant Kuroko is really concerned ( it is unclear if it's Mikoto or the thugs). Mikoto starts "begging" them, but they just say that theyre not going to let out that information to anyone. As one of the thugs say that it's bedtime for kids, Kuroko thinks that Mikoto will explode and shock them all, but Mikoto surprises Kuroko and pulls of a Lolita girl act saying that she's not kiddy. One of the thugs has apparently taken a liking for Mikoto and says that he'll tell her about the Level Upper though he is not going to do it for free. Mikoto replies saying that she might be able to give them a small fee. He said to forget the mone as he tried to touch Mikoto's shoulder. Mikoto avoided him by swirling around him. Mikoto says she's not comfortable doing it that way and she once again offers him money. He says that she's not a kid, and she starts to cry making up a story that she has to other way to raise her level except for the Level Upper. Behind her back she appears to have a bottle full of contents for fake tears. At the end of her story she pulls off a cute face saying that the thugs still won't help her. Kuroko is unconcious by now.

One of the other thugs point out that her uniform is from Tokiwadai Middle School. They ask Mikoto that they'll tell her everything if she brings her money. From behind Mikoto the unfortunate Kamijou Touma comes up and tells them that it's not right to ask money from a girl using numbers. Mikoto is speechless.
