Hey, Fire Witch!
Today's the day we defeat you
and claim Takamiya-kun in the name of the Tower Witches!
Takamiya-kun, stay there and watch closely.
You can learn by watching your teacher.
That's what an apprentice does.
Right!
Tanpopo-chan, are you sure about that? She's invincible.
We discussed this yesterday!
We'll use the Rapid Stream strategy!
Get into formation!
This won't end like it always has before!
Prepare yourself!
Rapid Stream!
Right... watch closely.
And it's over...
It's the Princess!
Who does that guy with her think he is?
Those girls must have a lot of energy,
to spring on you first thing in the morning like this.
I imagined your locker being full of love letters,
but I guess not—
Letter of Misfortune
Death
Made You Look
The people in my fan club manage that.
Takamiya-kun and Chronoire's Trap
My name is Takamiya Honoka.
For whatever reason, I'm being targeted by girls
who call themselves the Tower Witches.
This is Kagari-san.
She's beautiful, with a great figure.
She's also the smartest, most famous person in the school, and my classmate...
and a witch who protects me.
By the way, were you watching that fight earlier?
Huh?
This time, it ended quickly,
but that doesn't mean there was nothing to be learned from it.
There is meaning in even the smallest things.
And right now...
Understand?
Princess, good morning!
She's beautiful again today!
She's my magic teacher.
Good morning, Princess!
Read these during breaks.
Science, math, and English?
Is this...
It's part of your training.
Huh?
If there's anything you don't understand, ask me immediately.
Why is she helping him?
Teach me, too!
I'm already lost...
This part is...
She smells sweet...
He's so annoying.
What's with that guy?
He should just die.
All right, everyone, line up!
For today's gym class, we'll be playing tennis.
You'll play doubles, so boys and girls, split up to form pairs.
Yes, ma'am.
Takamiya-kun, let's team up.
Kagari-san? Uh, no, boys and girls are separate.
You there, boy. Team up with the Princess.
I don't think the girls' team is enough of a match for her.
You two will be a team.
What?!
This is also part of your training, Takamiya-kun.
Um...
Your hand.
We're going to win every game.
S-Sure.
You're really close...
Come on, stand up.
Hold the racket like this and relax your shoulders.
All right, those of you going home, be safe.
Those in clubs, work hard.
See you tomorrow. You're dismissed.
Their murderous intent is even stronger than usual.
I appreciate Kagari-san's determination when it comes to training me, but...
Takamiya-kun.
Get ready to leave.
Oh, right.
I've gotta stop this! Why am I being such a wimp?
Fuyutsuki High School Front Gate West
I chose this path myself!
If anything, after school is when we'll really start—
What?! We're going home?!
I was prepared for things to get a lot harder after classes were over.
That was the plan, but you looked exhausted.
There's no need to rush.
What we can do tomorrow, we'll do tomorrow.
My teacher is totally spoiling me...
I'm sorry to make you go out of your way for me, Kagari-san.
Still, I was really surprised yesterday.
I never thought our school would be your organization's base.
Or that the school chairwoman was your boss...
Our school is a prestigious witch school.
What? It is?
Fuyutsuki High School Front Gate West
What's up, Kagari-sa—
Stay put.
My teacher once said that life is like dessert.
Most things are either strawberry shortcake or gateau au chocolat.
Why, I wonder, is life like a dessert?
But no matter.
It's a pleasure to meet you both.
I presume you're Takamiya-kun and Kazane's daughter, the Firestarter, correct?
Behold the Tower Witch, Chronoire Schwarz VI, as she makes her resplendent entrance!
Tyranny
What's wrong? Who is she?
I can't have you putting up a fight.
I've frozen you so you can't move.
I used Waters of Nous following Aion Extraction.
But, I'll spare you the complicated details.
Kagari-san!
Not even a scratch on you.
Stop! I'm the one you want, right?!
How admirable. You're putting yourself at risk to protect her?
You truly understand nothing.
Let's get to the point.
Whether you skewer her, rip off her limbs, or gouge out her heart,
that woman will never die.
I've just verified that.
Now, this is the important part...
Does it hurt?
My shirt is torn, but there's no wound...
Kagari-san!
What did you do to her?!
Look at her wound.
Right, I have to treat the—
Have you noticed?
She's wounded in the place where you were stabbed.
It's called Damage Transfer.
It means any injury you suffer is inflicted upon her body instead.
But...
This power only works when you two are close to one another.
There are also times when the damage won't transfer, even if you are close.
It can't be easily explained.
I don't care! I have to stop the bleeding!
Be silent and listen.
Fail to do so and she dies.
So, why does she suffer wounds meant for you?
It's simple.
That is the rule for one who signs a contract with you.
She has borrowed the power within you to become an invincible witch.
She swore to serve and sacrifice herself for you.
It is her privilege as your knight.
I don't know what happened in your past,
but you two are connected by a strong bond.
If you wish to save her,
you need only give her even more of your magical power...
using the "white stuff" within you.
Swallow this.
It's a pill that will unleash your power.
I see...
So that's your goal.
Indeed.
I could force you to swallow it, but that would lack style.
I'd say this is forceful enough...
Kagari-san said that if the Tower Witches took me,
terrible things would happen to the world.
Hmm, that may be...
But I really don't care what happens to the world.
There's no other way to save her.
I promise you...
Without a doubt, you will swallow this pill.
Come, now. You'll have to take it sometime, anyway.
Now is your chance to swallow it through a kiss.
A fabulous deal, no?
Kagari-san!
Why are you always so reckless?!
It's all right, Takamiya-kun.
A wound like this is nothing to me.
Right now, I need to ask a favor.
For a short time,
I need to become something that isn't me.
Would you close your eyes?
Is there... anything else I can do?
Keep thinking of me...
Oh, it looks like my prediction was right!
Sorry I had to be so mean—
It's out in the open now...
What a beautiful sight.
I wish I could have played with you both a bit longer...
But it looks like my barrier has reached its limit.
Unfortunately, I must take my leave here.
We shall meet again soon, on Walpurgis Night.
Be well...
This is... the bus stop in front of the school?
Kagari-san!
It's mild anemia.
She's just sleeping right now, so don't worry.
Come to think of it, Kagari-san burned her hair a while ago.
I got mad at her then,
but thinking about it now, did that mean I already knew her?
And now, she's been hurt for my sake again...
I promise you...
Without a doubt, you will...
Takamiya-kun, are you ready?
We're going to begin lessons for real today.
Okay. I'm ready, Kagari-san.
Um, this outfit is kinda embarrassing...
Wh-What? What?
Um, Kagari-san?
It suits you so well, I couldn't help myself.
Thanks...
No! Be serious about this, Kagari-san!
My, Takamiya-kun, you're certainly ready to go.
Then, today, I'll give you a lesson about the witch outfits,
these robes that we're wearing.
Then again, seeing is better than hearing.
Takamiya-kun...
Jump for me.
I don't have any change on me...
Not like that.
Build up momentum and jump,
as if you want to shoot through the ceiling.
I'm sorry!
I'm falling!
Thanks...
You see?
See what?
If you still don't understand after that...
Hold me.
H-H-Hold you?!
The same way I always pick you up and hold you.
Oh...
More to the right.
Uh...
That's my butt.
I'm sorry!
Don't be loud.
Forgive me!
How was that?
Well, it was...
...soft.
Not that. Am I heavy?
Um...
Huh? You're really light.
Kagari-san! Are you eating right?!
You're way too light! Don't go overboard dieting—
Now I know that you're quite the airhead.
Yo!
Why did you guys transfer here? Back off!
The Star Team will be taking Takamiya-kun.
And don't ride a llama to school!
Nothing in the rules said it was wrong.
Oh, so the robe makes your body lighter when you wear it.
Yes. Next, watch closely.
Ooh, a broom appeared!
A broom is stored inside the robe,
and we can take it out at will.
The switch that releases the broom differs between robes,
but yours is the same as mine.
Hold out your right hand and snap the wrist.
Try it.
Right.
Well, I'm sure it's tough to get the hang of at first.
Looks like time's up.
I was only able to get the gym today for an hour after classes ended.
It's time for the clubs to use it now.
Let's go somewhere else.
Wait, Kagari-san! This is no time to be so calm!
We have to hide before they see—
Don't worry.
They won't notice us.
The robes have a charm on them to prevent it.
The one thing we have to be most careful about
is making sure everyday citizens don't find out about us.
People seem to clear a path for us as we walk, though.
Yes. The robes are made that way.
It's complicated to explain, so perhaps another time.
Roger.
By the way, Takamiya-kun, do high places bother you?
Huh? No.
Well, even if they do, I'll make you get over it.
The sky! It's the sky!
We're in the air, Kagari-san!
Calm down.
Right...
This will be flying practice, until you can draw out your own broom.
Okay!
We usually do it at night, not during daytime,
but we Workshop Witches patrol the town like this every day.
It's always five witches in high school who watch over the town.
In the first place, magic is...
It's pretty...
Takamiya-kun, wake up.
We're almost at school.
Oh, crap! I fell asleep!
Don't flail. We're in the sky.
This week has been rough on you, hasn't it?
Exhaustion finally caught up with you.
Sorry...
Wait! Stop, Kagari-san!
Go back for a minute!
What's wrong?
Look.
Behind that building.
A girl is getting mugged!
So I see.
Yeah. We have to save her.
Why?
"Why"?
Don't you patrol the town to stop that sort of crime?
You seem to be mistaken, Takamiya-kun.
We're witches who protect this town from bad witches.
The troubles of everyday citizens don't concern us.
That's a job for the police.
If you're worried, do you want to report them from a pay phone?
Are you being serious, Kagari-san?
That girl goes to our school!
Let's go help her!
We can't.
What if it puts you in danger?
We're forbidden to use magic on everyday citizens, anyway.
But if we can help her, but don't...
I won't use magic!
Throwing a fit won't work.
Please, come out!
Stay away, in case I mess up!
I've decided to try!
Kagari-san! Sorry! Teach me how to fly!
Takamiya-kun...
Hurry!
All right, listen closely!
Clear your head and concentrate!
That broom is your loyal servant!
Give it your command!
Concentrate... Command...
Fly!
I told you to hand over all your money.
I don't have any more!
Then jump for me.
That hurt! Seriously, what the hell?
King, it was him!
He came flying into us!
Hilarious! What is that? Cosplay?
Who are you, Harry Hopper?
Isn't it Parry Hotter?
Parry? We're not talking about a bear!
What should we do?
Beat him up and leave him here naked?
Come on, get up.
He's got a pretty cute face.
You're a total predator, King!
Takamiya-kun, you poor thing.
You shall feel firsthand the weight of the crime you have committed!
Kagari-san!
I thought you couldn't use magic on everyday citizens...
It was a trap.
Huh?
The enemy knew your personality and set a trap for you.
Terrorizing that girl was a roundabout method to lure you here.
Those girls are Tower Witches.
What?!
Well, I guess they did notice me, after you said nobody would.
You're smart, Kagari-san.
That was because you ran into them.
Touching someone exposes you.
Remember, when you're exposed, so am I.
Then what makes you think they're witches?
Because they tried to attack you, of course.
Ya-chan, listen to this!
I got mugged yesterday!
What? Are you okay?
Well, the girls mugging me just went flying, like there was an explosion!
I see. Anyway, this morning my brother...
Believe me!
My name's Kuraishi Tanpopo.
I'm a cat-eared mammal of the Felidae family.
It's tough when I go into heat!
Next time on Witch Craft Works:
Takamiya-kun and his Mean Little Sister
Takamiya-kun and his Mean Little Sister.
Wait, how is it "tough"?
