1. So I have a favor to ask.
Copy !req
2. I'd like you to restore
this shredded up paper.
Copy !req
3. What?
Copy !req
4. I accidentally put something
really important through a shredder,
Copy !req
5. so you know, if you could just
use that one spell.
Copy !req
6. I know it's going to cost me something.
Copy !req
7. So here!
This is my most favorite dress.
Copy !req
8. For Witch Recovery to work,
Copy !req
9. we need all the pieces to be by itself,
and somewhat all there.
Copy !req
10. What?
Copy !req
11. Since there's lots of other shredded
pieces of paper mixed in,
Copy !req
12. I might need a hundred of those dresses.
Copy !req
13. Oh, no.
Copy !req
14. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
15. No, I feel bad for having you guys
come over in the morning on a weekend.
Copy !req
16. So, what was it?
Copy !req
17. Why did you put such an important
document through the shredder?
Copy !req
18. It was a letter addressed to me.
Copy !req
19. It's from my mom
who died last year from an illness.
Copy !req
20. The one who put it through the shredder...
Copy !req
21. was my dad.
Copy !req
22. DEAR KARA
Copy !req
23. Dad?
Copy !req
24. What are you reading?
Copy !req
25. MISS KARA MINAMI
Copy !req
26. Wait, that's Mom's writing.
Copy !req
27. Did Mom write me a letter
when she was still alive?
Copy !req
28. No, this is...
Copy !req
29. Why are you opening and reading it?
Copy !req
30. Let me see it!
Copy !req
31. No, you can't!
Copy !req
32. Why not? Come on!
Copy !req
33. I'm sorry. Really.
Copy !req
34. How could you?
Copy !req
35. And I haven't spoken to him since.
Copy !req
36. So there's something written in there
that he doesn't want you to know.
Copy !req
37. But that's pretty horrible of him
to just shred it to pieces.
Copy !req
38. All right, I got it, Kara.
Copy !req
39. We'll restore the letter with magic
and find out what was written on there.
Copy !req
40. But you said in this state... Huh?
Copy !req
41. What're you doing, Nico?
Copy !req
42. I'm separating the pieces of the letter.
Copy !req
43. Are you serious?
Copy !req
44. You can barely see it, but
this stationary has a green tint to it.
Copy !req
45. And if you look closely, it's enough
to separate them from other pieces.
Copy !req
46. I'll help.
Copy !req
47. Whoa, that's totally fine.
Copy !req
48. You don't have to do such a tedious task.
Copy !req
49. Kara, you probably don't know,
Copy !req
50. but when I was in fourth grade, I built
the Osaka Castle with just toothpicks.
Copy !req
51. You're right, I totally didn't know
the depth of your determination.
Copy !req
52. You always take care of us, Kara.
Copy !req
53. I felt so happy
when you came to me for help.
Copy !req
54. So not only through magic, but I want
to help you in as many ways as I can.
Copy !req
55. I think I'll feel much happier that way, too.
Copy !req
56. Nico.
Copy !req
57. Squeeze!
Copy !req
58. HUG
Copy !req
59. Doing this is kind of fun, huh?
Copy !req
60. Yeah! You strangely get focused on it.
Copy !req
61. Just keep working, okay?
Copy !req
62. I wonder if we'll finish by night.
Copy !req
63. The truth is, I think I already know
what's written in that letter.
Copy !req
64. What?
Copy !req
65. My parents keep it a secret from me,
but I already know.
Copy !req
66. That my dad isn't my real dad.
Copy !req
67. When I was in seventh grade,
I went to go visit some relatives.
Copy !req
68. Kara was a child from a previous marriage.
Copy !req
69. I heard it was troublesome because
she wouldn't get along with her dad.
Copy !req
70. Yeah, I was surprised, but I assumed
they were thinking about my happiness.
Copy !req
71. So I pretended that I didn't know.
Copy !req
72. It doesn't matter
if we're related by blood or not.
Copy !req
73. Because the one who raised me was Dad.
Copy !req
74. But I think it might matter to him.
Copy !req
75. Yeah.
Copy !req
76. But I've already accepted it,
and I think of Dad as my real dad.
Copy !req
77. I'll always think of him that way.
Copy !req
78. We did it!
Copy !req
79. I feel like I can pick out
small gold nuggets at this point.
Copy !req
80. I can't believe we did it.
Copy !req
81. Um...
Copy !req
82. Seriously, thank you for doing this for me.
Copy !req
83. Okay, let's cast that spell.
Copy !req
84. Witch Recovery!
Copy !req
85. - It's restored!
- You did it.
Copy !req
86. Mom's letter...
Copy !req
87. So what did she write?
Copy !req
88. Let's see...
Copy !req
89. Dear Kara, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
90. Regarding the illness, I believe it might
be fate so I've already accepted it.
Copy !req
91. I will most likely
depart from this world soon.
Copy !req
92. I didn't want anything
to change between us,
Copy !req
93. so I'll write in this letter
what I've been wanting to tell you.
Copy !req
94. Kara.
Copy !req
95. You were a child
from your father's previous marriage.
Copy !req
96. Wait, from Dad's?
Copy !req
97. What?
Copy !req
98. The mother who gave birth to you
Copy !req
99. had disappeared before
she and your father could get married.
Copy !req
100. So as a single parent, your father raised you
by himself, and met me afterwards.
Copy !req
101. No way! So Dad is my real dad and...
Copy !req
102. The one you weren't related to was...
Copy !req
103. your mother.
Copy !req
104. Kara!
Copy !req
105. Dad.
Copy !req
106. That letter, how...
Copy !req
107. We restored it.
Copy !req
108. You were against the idea, so the mother
wanted to tell Kara through a letter.
Copy !req
109. The mother must've felt guilty for lying
because she was the one not related by blood.
Copy !req
110. It's Kara's letter.
Copy !req
111. You can't push your feelings
into the situation.
Copy !req
112. After Miyuki passed away, that letter
was delivered through the mail.
Copy !req
113. I saw it first, and had a feeling, so I hid it.
Copy !req
114. She already passed, and if Kara found out
that she wasn't her real mother,
Copy !req
115. I got scared that there wouldn't be
a mother-daughter relationship anymore.
Copy !req
116. The two were really alike.
Copy !req
117. It's worse because Kara felt proud
that she looked like her mother.
Copy !req
118. Dummy!
Copy !req
119. It doesn't matter who I'm related to
by blood. I'm not going to change!
Copy !req
120. That's right.
Copy !req
121. That's the kind of person you are.
I was wrong.
Copy !req
122. Will you forgive me, Kara?
Copy !req
123. I'm sorry, Miyuki.
Copy !req
124. Dad!
Copy !req
125. Kara, there's more things
written on this letter.
Copy !req
126. Please forgive our selfishness.
Copy !req
127. I thought it would be best to keep it
a secret while you were still young.
Copy !req
128. But you're an adult now, aren't you?
Copy !req
129. This is a little earlier than planned,
but I wanted to tell you this myself.
Copy !req
130. I remember the day
when I met you for the first time.
Copy !req
131. You had just turned three,
Copy !req
132. and you were being a bit difficult and weren't
getting along with your father.
Copy !req
133. However...
Copy !req
134. Hea, have this wady bug.
Copy !req
135. I was so happy.
Copy !req
136. I thought, "Oh wow, this girl
is going to become my daughter."
Copy !req
137. And from that day on,
Copy !req
138. spending time as a family
was like being in a dream.
Copy !req
139. I'm so glad that I met your father.
Copy !req
140. I'm so glad that you became my daughter.
Copy !req
141. Thank you.
Copy !req
142. I wanted to watch over you
as you grew up,
Copy !req
143. but it looks like you'll be okay.
Copy !req
144. Because you're strong, just like me.
Copy !req
145. I'll be watching over you from Heaven.
With love, to my beloved daughter.
Copy !req
146. Doesn't that cloud look like a fish?
Copy !req
147. Hey, Nico.
Copy !req
148. If I talk, I'll cry.
Copy !req
149. The color of my magic stone...
Copy !req
150. That's the one that turns more white
Copy !req
151. as you grow as a witch
by helping people with your magic.
Copy !req
152. Moi.
Copy !req
153. I've been thinking about something.
Copy !req
154. Yeah.
Copy !req
155. Okay.
Copy !req
156. If my magic could be useful to someone,
Copy !req
157. I think there are lots more people
in trouble who I can help.
Copy !req
158. It'll be good training, too.
Copy !req
159. And the poster came out great, too.
Copy !req
160. WITCH'S CONSULTATION
IS SOMETHING BOTHERING YOU?
LET ME HELP YOU RESOLVE IT!
ASK FOR NICO WAKATSUKI, CLASS 1-3
Copy !req
161. I'm the one who drew it, though.
Copy !req
162. NEW FRIEND
Copy !req
163. Nico! There's someone in our class
who needs your help.
Copy !req
164. My name is Jun Horai.
It's nice to meet you.
Copy !req
165. The character design...
Copy !req
166. It's nice to meet you.
Copy !req
167. How are you today?
Copy !req
168. Well, we're good.
Copy !req
169. I am very glad to meet you.
Copy !req
170. Hey Jun, did you grow up overseas?
Copy !req
171. I'm from Saitama Prefecture.
Copy !req
172. I listen to music every day.
Copy !req
173. Instead of coffee, I like tea.
Copy !req
174. I'm on the tennis team.
I have fun every day.
Copy !req
175. He talks like the New Horizons textbook!
Copy !req
176. Um, excuse my rudeness, but the way you talk
sounds like the English from New Horizons.
Copy !req
177. Yes, there is a reason for that.
Copy !req
178. My father is an English teacher.
He teaches at a middle school.
Copy !req
179. I have many English textbooks
inside my house.
Copy !req
180. I read those books a lot
when I was a child.
Copy !req
181. I became like this.
Copy !req
182. No, you shouldn't!
Copy !req
183. Well, anyway, so you wanted to talk
to Nico about the way you speak...
Copy !req
184. - I am having trouble with love.
- And not with the way you speak?
Copy !req
185. Yes, I do have trouble with the way I speak.
Copy !req
186. So you do, huh?
Copy !req
187. But your trouble with love
is more important, right?
Copy !req
188. Oh gosh, so you have
a crush on someone?
Copy !req
189. Yes.
Copy !req
190. Then go tell her how you feel right now.
Copy !req
191. Lesson One.
Copy !req
192. Jun fell in love with a girl who he sees
every day going to and from school.
Copy !req
193. Just ask her out on a date.
Copy !req
194. I'm too shy to approach her.
Copy !req
195. So you want a reason
to talk to her, huh?
Copy !req
196. I found a pen. I think she dropped it.
Copy !req
197. There's your reason!
You should approach her with that.
Copy !req
198. This is that pen.
Copy !req
199. We're in the first semester
of seventh grade English.
Copy !req
200. I'm there with you.
Copy !req
201. You guys aren't continuing
the conversation.
Copy !req
202. Nico, can you search with your magic?
Copy !req
203. I cannot do that.
Copy !req
204. Don't get sucked in!
Copy !req
205. Her school is next to this park.
Copy !req
206. Looks like everyone goes through this park
because it's a shortcut to the station.
Copy !req
207. This makes things easy.
All you have to do is go talk to her.
Copy !req
208. Yes. I think so, too.
Copy !req
209. Have you been thinking
about what to talk about?
Copy !req
210. I-I have two tickets to the movies.
Copy !req
211. Oh, so you're going to ask her out on a date.
Copy !req
212. That's pretty assertive.
Copy !req
213. Are you gonna be okay
with the way you talk?
Copy !req
214. Will they be able to hold a conversation?
Copy !req
215. Nico, I have a favor to ask.
Copy !req
216. Can you please cast a spell on me
that will make me better at conversations?
Copy !req
217. I can, but I would like to refuse.
Copy !req
218. What?
Copy !req
219. There's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Copy !req
220. You should talk how you normally do
with your crush.
Copy !req
221. You should go talk to her as you are.
Copy !req
222. I understand.
Copy !req
223. Sorry. You can do it, Jun.
Copy !req
224. Yes, of course. Oh!
Copy !req
225. Here she comes!
Copy !req
226. Okay, let's leave these two alone.
Copy !req
227. Okay!
Copy !req
228. We want the best for him,
Copy !req
229. but I think the way he talks
might be rough for girls nowadays.
Copy !req
230. Probably, but it'll be fine.
Copy !req
231. It's just as Nico says. It's important
for them to get to know you.
Copy !req
232. Sometimes it's better
for magic to take a backseat.
Copy !req
233. U-Um...
Copy !req
234. Hello, my name is Jun Horai.
It's nice to meet you.
Copy !req
235. Is this your pen?
Copy !req
236. It's my first time seeing
this phrase being used in daily life.
Copy !req
237. Yes, that is my pen.
Copy !req
238. Huh?
Copy !req
239. My name is Ann Nikura.
Copy !req
240. And this one's a New Crown!
Copy !req
241. Where do you live?
Copy !req
242. I live in Saino City.
What did you do yesterday?
Copy !req
243. Yesterday, I played tennis in Saino City.
Copy !req
244. I lost to a member named Kanta.
Copy !req
245. That's my younger brother.
Copy !req
246. They're somehow conversing?
Copy !req
247. Maybe he can ask her out
on a date after all?
Copy !req
248. Yay!
Copy !req
249. Oh, looks like they're done talking.
Copy !req
250. They're coming over here.
Copy !req
251. This is my girlfriend.
Copy !req
252. They're dating?
Copy !req
253. I somehow feel a connection with him.
Copy !req
254. So yeah, I thought I might have a shot,
and when I asked, I got an immediate "yes"!
Copy !req
255. You're so excited that you're not talking
like a textbook anymore.
Copy !req
256. But I'm proud of you!
Copy !req
257. Congratulations!
Copy !req
258. I wish you both the best!
Copy !req
259. You'll have to tell your pen pal in Canada.
Copy !req
260. I do not have one.
Copy !req
261. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
262. You are all my new friends.
Copy !req
263. Please accept this gift.
Copy !req
264. Instead of a movie, we will play tennis
this weekend.
Copy !req
265. That's a movie I wanted to see.
Copy !req
266. I'm not interested.
Copy !req
267. I already watched it.
Copy !req
268. Nico, wanna watch it with me?
Copy !req
269. D-Does that mean...
Copy !req
270. A-A date?
Copy !req
271. Yes, I would like to go the movies
with you this weekend.
Copy !req
272. KANTA NIKURA
Copy !req
273. DATE WITH THE KNIGHT
Copy !req
274. He just casually asked me out on a date,
so I don't understand what he's thinking.
Copy !req
275. You can't really read his facial expressions
so it makes it even harder.
Copy !req
276. That's the thing!
Copy !req
277. He hasn't had any affectionate feelings
since the fourth grade,
Copy !req
278. so how do you even handle that?
Copy !req
279. She's a mess.
Copy !req
280. Didn't Otogi say he liked comedy shows?
Copy !req
281. Yes! When he's watching those,
he super laughs at them!
Copy !req
282. That's right!
Copy !req
283. So it's not like he doesn't have emotions.
Copy !req
284. I think you should focus
on observation tomorrow.
Copy !req
285. Yeah, instead of making yourself appealing,
Copy !req
286. you should prioritize
getting to understand his emotions.
Copy !req
287. Wow. Love is so difficult, isn't it?
Copy !req
288. You just fell in love with a weird guy.
Copy !req
289. Oh hey, you guys were all in Nico's room?
Copy !req
290. - Oh, um...
- Well...
Copy !req
291. Expressing expressions!
Copy !req
292. Expressions... Poker face...
Copy !req
293. We were playing poker!
Copy !req
294. Playing poker?
Copy !req
295. Y-Yeah, that's right. We were playing poker.
Copy !req
296. Your facial expressions are hard to read,
so we thought you'd be too good at it.
Copy !req
297. You didn't ask me because
my face is too hard to read.
Copy !req
298. S-Sorry, man.
Copy !req
299. It's fine.
Copy !req
300. I don't really like
getting all rowdy like you guys do,
Copy !req
301. so I probably would've declined
the offer.
Copy !req
302. But I would've still liked to be invited.
Copy !req
303. He's easy to understand
when he gets all pouty like this.
Copy !req
304. Hard to understand
my facial expressions, huh?
Copy !req
305. Okay. This is the spell.
Copy !req
306. You want to cast a spell on me
that expresses my emotions more?
Copy !req
307. There's a spell that can do that.
Copy !req
308. But using spells like this without permission
is bad, so I wanted to ask you.
Copy !req
309. That's probably a "no," right?
Copy !req
310. - It's fine.
- What?
Copy !req
311. I don't really understand,
Copy !req
312. but if my expressions are hard to read,
then go ahead and make it easier to understand.
Copy !req
313. If that'll allow my relationships to improve,
then you'd be doing me a favor.
Copy !req
314. What? Are you upset?
Asking for a favor? I can't tell.
Copy !req
315. Okay, here we go.
Copy !req
316. Emotexpression!
Copy !req
317. And it's done.
Copy !req
318. A tiny Moi?
Copy !req
319. Well? Am I easier to read?
How can you tell?
Copy !req
320. Mini-Moi looks really confused,
and it's super easy to tell.
Copy !req
321. Oh, um, let's see, I guess I can't tell yet.
Copy !req
322. Who knew this spell
would come out like this?
Copy !req
323. Huh. I guess it's your magic after all.
Copy !req
324. We don't have much time,
so let's get ready and go.
Copy !req
325. Yeah, it's a movie
you wanted to watch, right?
Copy !req
326. Kind of, yeah.
Copy !req
327. He looks super excited!
Copy !req
328. Thanks for waiting.
Copy !req
329. Why are you wearing a yukata?
Copy !req
330. You said we'd go to the Summer Festival
in the evening, right?
Copy !req
331. What do you think?
Copy !req
332. Yeah. Yukatas were originally used as
bathrobes or pajamas, but in the present day,
Copy !req
333. I don't want to hear
about its history.
Copy !req
334. they've become proper clothes
to wear outside.
Copy !req
335. But Mini-Moi loves it!
Copy !req
336. He's so cute!
Copy !req
337. But wait, why can't he just
honestly say that it looks nice?
Copy !req
338. Come on, let's go.
Copy !req
339. What kind of movie is it?
Copy !req
340. You don't know anything about it?
Copy !req
341. You'll laugh, you'll cry,
and you'll get surprised.
Copy !req
342. It's an indoor-type Sci-Fi fantasy suspense
emotional rom-com action movie
Copy !req
343. by Director Skalski, "Yali Tight Hold Die."
Copy !req
344. It sounds pretty unhinged.
Copy !req
345. NO RECORDING!
Copy !req
346. It's starting.
Copy !req
347. And we've got an action scene
going on. How's Moi doing?
Copy !req
348. And how is Mini-Moi?
Copy !req
349. He looks super nervous!
Copy !req
350. He looks super scared!
Copy !req
351. The moon is beautiful!
Copy !req
352. He's crying so much.
Copy !req
353. This thing is like a dinner party!
Copy !req
354. For the funny scenes,
the real face is laughing, too.
Copy !req
355. It's way more fun to watch Moi
instead of the movie.
Copy !req
356. Did you enjoy the movie?
Copy !req
357. Eh, yeah.
Copy !req
358. Looks like he really enjoyed it.
Copy !req
359. When the main character
jumped off the building,
Copy !req
360. it seemed like it was CGIed,
but it actually wasn't.
Copy !req
361. They wanted to make it look real,
and wanted the audience
Copy !req
362. When he laughs and explains things,
Copy !req
363. to experience a Sci-Fi world
that really isn't Sci-Fi.
Copy !req
364. they both make the same face,
and it's kind of the best.
Copy !req
365. What did you think, Nico?
Copy !req
366. Y-Yeah, I thought it was fun how
the main character was very expressive.
Copy !req
367. I'll just rewatch the movie
when it comes out on Prime.
Copy !req
368. Wow! Thanks, Mister!
Copy !req
369. That's right, Moi isn't simply expressionless.
Copy !req
370. He's always doing things for other people.
Copy !req
371. When he makes people happy,
it makes him happy in his heart, too.
Copy !req
372. He just doesn't show it on his face.
Copy !req
373. His heart is filled with so many emotions.
Copy !req
374. Wow, it's so beautiful.
Copy !req
375. It's been a while since I saw fireworks!
Copy !req
376. Nico, based on your spell, what kind
of expression do I have right now?
Copy !req
377. You have a big smile on your face.
Copy !req
378. I see.
Copy !req
379. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
380. Huh?
Copy !req
381. It's hard for me
to express my emotions.
Copy !req
382. No, that's okay, I should be apologizing.
You must be upset.
Copy !req
383. No, I'm not upset or anything.
Copy !req
384. It's probably because of my training.
Copy !req
385. It's a disadvantage in a fight
if your opponent can read you.
Copy !req
386. Plus I have this personality to begin with,
Copy !req
387. so I must've formed a habit
where I push down my emotions.
Copy !req
388. I'm not constantly
in a bad mood or anything.
Copy !req
389. Yeah, I know.
Copy !req
390. Let me dispel the magic.
Copy !req
391. We're around each other a lot, so I wanted
to know the things you were feeling.
Copy !req
392. Everyone knows that you have a kind heart.
Copy !req
393. And I want to become
someone like that, too.
Copy !req
394. I had fun today.
Copy !req
395. Really?
Copy !req
396. Yeah.
Copy !req
397. I've actually become more expressive
ever since you arrived at the house.
Copy !req
398. Since I'm strong,
I tend to end up hurting people,
Copy !req
399. so I never really
maintained any friendships.
Copy !req
400. I like quietly spending time by myself.
Copy !req
401. But...
Copy !req
402. Lately, every day has become so rowdy.
Copy !req
403. And that kind of daily life isn't bad either.
Copy !req
404. Every day is fun.
Copy !req
405. Oh! It looks like
Kan and Keigo are here, too.
Copy !req
406. The fireworks are over,
so why don't we go meet with them?
Copy !req
407. I mean it's fine, right?
Copy !req
408. Meeting up with them
sounds kind of troublesome.
Copy !req
409. Let's keep having fun.
Copy !req
410. Which one do you wanna eat,
takoyaki or grilled imagawayaki?
Copy !req
411. Grilled squid!
Copy !req
412. What did you think
about this week's episode?
Copy !req
413. I thought it was a very fun episode.
Copy !req
414. So are you a Shonen Jump fan?
Copy !req
