Do you know why nobody must know the name of the seventh witch in the first place?
Who the hell are you?
I'm Shiraishi Urara. Right, Yamada-san?
If you gather all seven witches together, any wish can be granted.
Episode 12 "I Love You, Shiraishi!"
Wha? Why do I have to go to Asuka-san's house?
I'm begging you! They won't let me inside unless you're with me!
I'm watching a movie right now!
That doesn't matter! Never mind, just come with me!
I'm at a really good part!
I'm begging you.
You're...
Wait, Yamada.
Leona!
Huh?
Tell me everything that happened.
You were running around like crazy over her switching bodies.
It's just too hilarious!
You may say that, but don't you understand how helpless she must feel right now?!
You're the one who doesn't understand.
What?
You bringing Shiraishi back right now won't make any difference.
Panicking is pointless.
By the way, there's something odd about what you've told me.
About the ceremony...
Hey, what's with all of you?
Whatever. Just get out of the way, Miyamura!
We have business with Leona-senpai!
Why are you guys here?
We thought we'd get Leona-senpai to help us get through to Rika-senpai...
Yamada-kun, can't you tell us before you do something like this?
Perfect timing.
It's odd that Tamaki was invited to the ceremony?
All that should be essential for the ceremony are the witches themselves.
Tamaki has only retained the power he captured from Asuka Mikoto.
He isn't a witch himself.
If that's so, why did the president invite him?
My guess is that Tamaki's stolen power can be returned to the witch.
Yamazaki knows that Tamaki can return powers to their owners.
No way...
So he's planning to give Asuka her power back right before the ceremony?
Exactly.
Hey!
There's also Shiraishi to worry about. What should we do?
Calm down. First we handle Saionji Rika.
Beating her will be beyond difficult.
You could even say the student council president and
the seventh witch are united in body and spirit.
Sorry to intrude.
Yamada.
Who the hell are you?
Huh?
I mean, it's weird! How do you know my sister?
Uh, sorry. I wanted to thank you.
Thank me?
It's been a long time since I heard my sister laugh.
Sure.
Science Storage Room
We want you to side with us!
Yamada-kun, you're persistent and annoying!
Then at least tell us this! What's your relationship with Yamazaki?
Oh? Are you jealous, Yamada-kun?
N-No, it's not—
Fine.
I don't think you'll understand anyway, but I'll tell you.
Haru-chan and I are precious to, and can't live without, each other.
I see. But it's so strange.
Huh?
If you're so precious to each other,
then why did Yamazaki have Asuka and Shiraishi switch bodies?
Huh? What do you mean?
If you both trust each other,
then he shouldn't have any need for an insurance policy like that.
Wh-Who knows! It's something Haru-chan decided on!
I'm sure it was just to be on the safe side!
Wouldn't that mean Yamazaki doesn't trust you?
That can't be! Yamada-kun, are you trying to tear Haru-chan and I apart?
No, I was only telling the truth. I mean, you have noticed it, haven't you?
That you're just being used by Yamazaki?
Wha?! What're you—
I thought you would understand, Yamada-kun!
I thought you would understand how I've felt coming to school all this time!
Being forgotten by everyone means having nobody to talk to, either!
My name not existing anywhere means
there's no need for me to put in the effort to come to school to study!
There's only one person in the whole school who knows...
that I came to school every day like I was supposed to...
Hey, Saionji-kun. Morning.
That's why I won't betray him!
I see.
But things are different now. At the very least, the three of us know about you.
If you stay on Yamazaki's side,
it'll just be the two of you again!
All right. I'll help you.
However, I have one condition.
Could you bring Leona-chan to school?
Leona-chan knows my name, but I haven't been able to erase her memory yet.
I can't forgive that on my pride as the seventh witch.
All right, got it.
Let's go, Yamada!
I can't do that.
If you won't accept my condition, I won't cooperate with you!
Supernatural Studies Club
I guess it's about time to prepare myself.
Hey! How long are we going to sit around like this?!
Do you have any bright ideas, then?
Well...
Miyamura Leona No Subject I need to talk to you. Come back here immediately. Or else...
Saionji Rika told you to bring me to school, didn't she?
How do you know that?
So the seventh witch still hasn't forgotten about me? I've finally made up my mind.
It's my fault that you guys are going through all this.
Huh?
What do you mean?
I was once a member of the Supernatural Studies Club.
Back in those days, there was one more member in the club.
We researched the witches together.
You're going to announce your candidacy for student council president
to keep the Supernatural Studies Club going?
I see. You'd go that far...
And at long last, we learned the name of the seventh witch.
Run away this instant!
And so, that man who had his memory erased also forgot about me.
Supernatural Studies Club
Yamazaki?
It can't be...
Unbelievable!
Does that mean he learned about the witches all over again after he became president?
We can't leave things like this. We've got to go tell him the truth right away!
That's pointless.
What did you say?
Once someone has their memory erased, nothing you say will get them to understand.
Yamada and I have learned that the hard way.
But—
It's okay, Nene.
Being able to talk to you guys has made me feel a lot better.
I'm going to head to the school!
There's no time. Lead me to Rika.
Wait a second! That's the one thing I can't let you do!
Isn't taking me to the school the condition
for getting Rika to participate in the ceremony?
Yeah, that's right.
Why are you stopping me, then? You're contradicting yourself.
I know that! But I'm sure you don't actually want to do that, either!
To have your memories of him... Of Yamazaki erased!
Isn't that why you haven't gone to school for so long?!
It's okay. I can't stand to see him like this anymore.
I didn't think you'd actually bring her.
I'll let you erase my memory in exchange for participating in the ceremony.
Sound good?
I know. I'm a girl who keeps her promises.
I see. Do it, then.
I sympathize with you.
It may be for the student council's sake,
but you've been burdened with a painful role.
Okay, I'm done!
I guess I've fulfilled my duty now...
But first, I have one thing left to take care of.
Student Council Room
Yamazaki.
Do you need something from me?
No.
I see. The school day is over.
You be sure to head home soon, too.
Yes, I'll do that.
I hope we can meet again someday...
Tears?
Supernatural Studies Club
Excuse me a minute.
Yes.
Now! Prepare yourself, Asuka Mikoto!
Be a good girl and let us capture you!
I'll praise you for your courage, if nothing else.
Now, then, will you be my next opponent?
Indeed, I will! Or so I'd like to say!
I'll hold back this time!
Thanks everyone! That was some nice teamwork!
Okay, Yamada. We're counting on you for the rest.
Last night my sister told me to go along with you. What in the world is going on?
If I'm with you, an officer on the student council, I'll be able to see Asuka.
Y-Yeah...
I'm sorry. Mikoto says she doesn't want to see anyone...
Huh? H-Hey!
Yamada?
Shiraishi!
Shiraishi, are you here?!
Yamada-kun?
Shiraishi!
I'm sorry. I'm too ashamed to face you.
Huh?
Everything you were telling me, it was all true. And yet, I...
It's fine. None of that matters!
I'm sorry I'm late.
The truth is, I was so scared. What's going to happen to me?
It's all right. I promise I'll turn you back to normal.
I'll make sure nothing like this ever happens again!
Okay, everyone's here, right?
At long last!
I was really able to go back to normal.
I was able to return Asuka Mikoto's power, right?
Who knows?
No worries about that!
I guarantee it!
Mikoto-chan, just accept it.
I don't want to be alone anymore.
Let's start the ceremony before Yamazaki shows up.
We just have to stand on the marks, right?
Things have gotten kind of exciting.
I like things like this!
Yamada-kun. Me, too?
Yeah!
Okay. You, too, Senpai.
Don't think you can perform the ceremony that easily!
How terrible of you all. You left me out of the fun.
President!
Let's get out of here quickly.
No, it's fine. I came to observe the ceremony.
What are you up to, Yamazaki?
I finally solved the mystery.
I never knew the reason I became the president all this time.
Any time I thought about it, I felt intense pain, like my heart was being crushed.
I've devoted myself to performing my duties as president to distract myself from the pain,
but it only grew worse.
I don't know the reason I became president even now,
but there is one thing I do know.
You might be able to erase memories, but you can't erase the feelings behind them.
Isn't that right, Saionji-kun?
Yeah...
Then, the president...
Realized his memory was once erased?
I want to remember the real reason I became president.
That's why I've decided. Yamada-kun, I'll entrust the rest to you.
Yeah.
So, what's next?
Hey, what's this?
Huh? You guys?
Odagiri? Tamaki?
Shiraishi?
What's going on?
As far as that goes...
Time has stopped for everyone but you and me.
Huh?
The world is moving so slowly, that it looks like it's stopped, to be exact.
You know, what's commonly known as The Theory of Relativity?
Is that common?
I-I don't really follow, but I can tell something crazy is going on.
The rest is simple. Stand in the middle of the circle and pray with all your heart,
"I wish for everyone's memories to return."
Got it. Let me ask you one last thing.
Are you glad you ended up with a witch power?
My power? Let me see.
There was a whole lot I didn't like,
but I received a warm welcome from the student council,
and I'm already in my third year.
I suppose the only thing that weighs on my mind is that I have to find a successor.
The seventh witch operates on a nomination system,
so I'll have to find a girl to go through the same things I have sooner or later.
But I wonder if there is anyone who would accept a role like this?
I see.
But why ask me that?
No reason. I just wanted to know.
Okay, then, Yamada-kun. Are you ready?
Yeah!
No matter what happens next, you mustn't open your eyes!
Huh?
Supernatural Studies Club
Crap! It won't do any good to just stand here.
Let's go!
Yo, you guys! Did your memories come back?!
Do you need something from our club?
Huh?
Uh, sorry. I got the wrong room.
Just kidding!
I thought something was funny. Now the mystery's finally been solved.
I never thought we'd be the ones to forget about you, Yamada.
Never saw that one coming!
It's the same either way.
Yamada-kun, welcome back!
I'm back.
Today, let's go all out!
Congrats!! Yamada-kun Welcome-Back Party
Yeah!
Wait a second!
Sorry to spoil the moment,
but there's something important I need to say first.
Something important?
We heard, Yamada.
If you gather all seven witches together your wish will come true, right?
We can make as many come true as we want now!
No, that's not it.
Now that you mention it, we know the names of all the witches, don't we?
So why haven't our memories been erased?
That's part of why I need to talk to you.
And to everyone else who knows about the witches!
Yoohoo! Sorry to keep you!
Huh? What's with all the commotion?
You didn't tell me we were having a party, Senpai!
Oh, you're finally here? You're all late!
I'm glad everyone's memories have returned!
I wondered what was going to happen for a while there.
It's all thanks to me lending a hand.
Hey, listen to me!
Oh, it looks like everyone is here.
You called for a meeting, so I guess I had to come.
Good grief. I don't do well with so much excitement.
Is it okay for me to come in?
Yeah.
To summon me here, of all people. You've become quite the big man.
You seem like you've become quite the big man yourself.
Leona-chan, you can't tease Haru-chan!
You called Yamazaki's group here, too?!
Of course.
Okay, what I have to talk about is the wish
I had granted at the ceremony.
The one you prayed for with all your heart?
Yeah. The truth is, I didn't wish for your memories to return.
But our memories did return.
I'm sure. What I wished was for the
witch powers to vanish from this school.
Huh?!
Now that you mention it, I haven't received any telepathic messages lately.
I haven't had any nightmares, either!
So that means the powers are really gone?
Yeah, but I think this is for the best.
You're right.
We might have originally gotten those powers because we wished for them,
but they became the source of our suffering before we knew it.
Besides, we've been leading school lives that are plenty fun
even without relying on our powers.
All thanks to you, Senpai!
I see. That's the conclusion Yamada-kun,
who possessed all seven witch powers, has reached?
The way we are now, we don't need witch powers anymore.
Yeah.
Yamada-kun, I'm sorry.
Huh? Why are you apologizing?
Because I wasn't able to keep my promise from back then...
Promise?
Didn't I tell you? That I'd be the first one you kiss...
But I was the one who didn't keep it.
No. That isn't what I meant.
The truth is, I was thinking of repaying the favor to you.
Huh?
You saved me when I was in trouble.
That's why I wanted to help you this time.
And yet, I forgot about that and utterly rejected you.
I've wanted to apologize all this time.
I'm sorry.
You got so desperate you even gave me that fake confession of love—
It wasn't fake!
I was thinking of telling you one more time when your memory returned.
I love you, Shiraishi!
Please go out with me!
Oh, yeah. That's right...
You told me before that you liked someone.
Yes. I mean, that was you.
Huh?
I thought for sure that you realized it.
N-No, of course I didn't!
Wait, huh? Does that mean...
Yes.
Also, Yamada-kun. I have a request.
Can I kiss you?
Huh?! W-Wait, that's strange!
There's a proper order to do these things...
I want to make sure that my power has really disappeared.
You're curious, too, aren't you?
Then...
Ow, your teeth—
We didn't switch bodies after all.
Huh?
Let's get back to the clubroom. Everyone must be worried.
Hey, you just wanted to kiss, didn't you?
Yeah.
