I don't need any kindness
I won't stop in any old place
Cause my wish carries on forever and ever
I won't fear anything
Without waiting for sunshine
Under the starry sky
I walk in the lonely night
Ichijoji, good demonstration.
Thank you.
Wow, Ichijoji-kun is amazing.
Well, he is the king.
These demonstrations are great.
Every week, we get to see all kinds of magical arts performed up close.
Everyone tries so earnestly.
Their sparkles are all beautiful in different ways.
Yeah.
I'm so glad I got in to Hoshigei.
Aigasaki Kohana, you're up next week.
Huh?
What?! M-Me?
Nice, Kohana!
No, wait.
I'm so excited for next week.
What kind of flower arrangement will you show us, Aigasaki-san?
I'm sure it'll be wonderful.
Well, actually...
After all, you're Aigasaki Sakura's daughter.
Hey, mind your manners.
Oh, sorry. I admire her so much, I wasn't thinking.
I-It's okay.
But we expect great things from you, Aigasaki-san.
Yeah.
I'm so excited.
I can't wait.
Yeah, I'm so excited.
I-I'll do my best.
Magic-Kyun! Renaissance
Inspiration in an Album
I see.
You're next?
My turn came so much sooner than I expected.
What am I going to do?
I'm not as good as everyone else yet.
You'll be fine, Aigasaki-san.
You can do it.
Thanks.
Aoi-kun, how's your calligraphy coming along?
Little by little, I think I'm getting closer to what I want to write.
That's great.
I'm happy for you.
Anyway, Ichijoji-kun's singing was amazing.
It was so beautiful.
I wish you could've heard it.
I've heard him sing plenty of times.
Oh, right. You're childhood friends.
Yeah.
Were you in kindergarten together?
No, we lived near each other.
I wasn't expecting you to come back.
And I'll be back again.
The others haven't come today, either?
I try to go talk to them every day,
but I'm never able to see anyone.
I'm sure I will tomorrow though.
You don't have to go.
What?
You should focus on preparing for your demonstration for the time being.
What? But...
It's your first demonstration.
Don't underestimate it.
Got it.
Sounds like you, Teika.
Good grief. Only three of you again?
Well, it can't be helped.
Let's start shaping this executive committee.
Shaping it?
The principal won't shut up about it.
Let's begin.
Ichijoji, will you be the chairman?
Yes, sir.
Then Aigasaki, you'll be the vice chairwoman.
Yes, sir.
Wait, what? I'm the vice chairwoman?
Yeah.
And Suminomiya...
Since your handwriting's good, you can be the secretary.
Secretary?
Secretary.
Ichijoji, you run the rest of the meeting.
Yes, sir.
I-I'm the vice chairwoman.
Really? That's amazing.
The king is chairman, and you're the vice chairwoman.
I-I hope it'll be okay.
There is bad blood between you two.
What? Oh, no.
Hey, isn't that her?
She's doing the demonstration next week.
Oh, Aigasaki's daughter.
You can do it.
Senpai, you have our support.
We'll definitely go next week.
What kind of magical arts do you use?
I'm so excited.
We'll come watch.
You can do it.
What?!
Wh-Why? Why are people I don't even know coming to watch?!
Transfer students are rare here,
and you're Aigasaki Sakura's daughter.
Of course people are expecting great things from you.
My mom was really amazing.
You're realizing that now?
When my mom died in the accident,
I was only ten years old.
I sort of knew she was a famous Artista.
But to me, my mom was just my mom.
My dad had been gone since before I could remember,
so it was always me and my mom.
I loved my mom.
I loved her.
Did your mom teach you about flower arranging then?
No, not properly. So...
This album my mom left to me is my teacher.
It's teaching me how to arrange flowers like my mom.
I see.
I'm thinking of doing this arrangement for the demonstration.
Wow, it's so beautiful!
I remember how my mom's sparkles looked when she made this arrangement.
So I want to make the same sparkles with this arrangement.
Come on, come on.
Right? Right? Doesn't it look good?
Come on, Monet.
It stinks of carrots.
No, wait. You've got to get all your essential vitamins.
Come on.
Rin Rin, your sweets are the best.
Angelo, you're swiping my food?
But Rin Rin,
lately you've been so focused on feeding Monesuke
that you've only been letting me eat your test dishes.
Monesuke? What kind of name is that?
As his older cousin, Monesuke—
I mean, Monet...
Hey!
Anjo-senpai, I found you!
You're not getting away this time.
It's Kanato.
Tomorrow we'll settle the score.
Who cares about that?
Settle the score?
In basketball.
Really?
Tomorrow, I'll be able to write vivacious and powerful characters.
He hasn't changed.
I've never seen Suminomiya-senpai before.
He really exists.
Vivacious.
Shinra-niisan, what is it?
"What is it?" Don't give me that.
Teika-kun, you haven't been calling.
I'm sorry.
I heard your demonstration went fabulously.
Keep up the good work.
Yes, brother.
I'm handing the phone to Masana-niisan.
Teika.
Yes, brother.
I heard the Aigasaki girl was chosen to be on the Hoshinomori Summer Festival committee.
Yes.
Show them just how much stronger you are during the Art Session.
Doing so will allow you to make your professional debut as an Artista.
It will also further improve the Ichijoji family's reputation.
I expect great things from you.
Yes, brother.
The same arrangement as my mom's.
Kohana!
You can do it!
Yeah!
Yeah, I'll be fine.
All I need to finish it is this flower.
Thank you.
I've never seen them in person before.
They're so beautiful.
And they smell so nice.
Yeah. I know...
I know I can do it!
I know... I know I can do it.
I'm finished.
What?
What? Is that it?
It's sort of lacking.
But something's different.
It's good, but...
It's not glowing.
Yeah, I guess it's pretty.
Why not?
That's it? I was looking forward to this, too.
I see. You're weaker to pressure than you look.
You'd better get that fixed before your next turn.
The pressure?
I see. So that's what it was.
You still couldn't produce the Light of Arte?
No.
If you're trying to become an Artista by attending Hoshigei,
you must always be able to produce the light.
Work harder.
If you're still unable to produce the light,
I'll have you quit the Hoshi Festival committee.
What?
No...
For you.
Magic-Kyun.
Renaissance.
No...
It's only natural.
If you can't produce the Light of Arte,
it's not really a magical art.
You won't be able to participate in the Art Session.
That flower arrangement you made earlier was truly unimpressive.
How rude.
I modeled that after an arrangement my mother made years ago.
I see.
No wonder it was out of your league.
I can't believe you're her daughter.
I feel sorry for Aigasaki Sakura.
You don't understand.
Someone like you...
Someone like you who can do everything so easily wouldn't understand!
We'll talk once you've learned to produce the Light of Arte.
Principal's Office
That wasn't because of the pressure.
No, but if I hadn't said something,
the situation would've gotten out of control.
You're right.
Did you allow her to transfer
because she's the daughter of Aigasaki Sakura?
No.
It was because I recognized the potential for excellence inside her.
But I'm not sure those talents will blossom.
Isn't that how the magical arts work?
We can help her,
but we can't teach her.
She has to find the path on her own.
Yes.
Aigasaki.
Todo-sensei.
Sakura-san was a truly an unparalleled genius.
But she also worked harder than anyone else.
The traditional Japanese room where she worked
is in the Hoshi Festival House.
My mom?
If you can't produce the Light of Arte,
it's not really a magical art.
That flower arrangement you made earlier was truly unimpressive.
Maybe I can't do it.
I wanted to be like my mom, but...
I don't even know...
...what to do anymore.
Aoi-kun.
I saw your shoes outside.
Oh, right.
It's so bright.
Yeah.
I still...
I still haven't written what I want to write yet.
I don't know what it will take to write it, either.
But I'll keep on writing.
The next thing I write might be it.
Here.
Anchovy & Vegetable Juice Cream Puff
An anchovy and vegetable juice cream puff?
It's good.
Thanks.
Aigasaki-san?
It's so good!
I'm glad.
I really liked the flower arrangement you made the other day.
I could feel you cheering me on.
It was...
It was an arrangement only you could make.
Only me?
Teika, you came.
Only me.
It was an arrangement only you could make.
No wonder it was out of your league.
What?
Was Ichijoji-kun trying to say the same thing?
Was he trying to encourage me, too?
An arrangement only I can make.
Not my mom, but me.
You can do it.
I know you can do it, Kohana.
Mom.
Kohana, making flower arrangements is a human instinct.
Since ancient times, people have made flower arrangements to make others happy,
to encourage each other, and cheer each other up.
I'm the same way.
Whenever I make flower arrangements,
I imagine the people who will view the arrangement.
The people who will see my arrangement are...
I have so many things I want to tell them.
I'm so glad I got into Hoshigei
and get to see their sparkles every day.
The day I first arrived at Hoshigei,
I was so excited.
I'm excited for the Hoshi Festival,
and I want to get to know them better.
I can't make sparkles like the others yet,
but I'll keep on trying.
My dream is to someday make sparkles like my mom.
That's how I feel.
And I want to express my feelings to everyone!
Kohana, you did it!
She truly is her daughter.
They're warm.
What a strange girl.
Does the Ichijoji family name weigh heavily on you?
What are you talking about?
Sometimes you seem to be in pain.
Don't be absurd.
Everything's coming along nicely.
I will become the Artista Prince.
But...
I...
I prefer the way you used to sing.
Shall we dance, my little flower?
Come on. Take my hand.
We'll bewitch the world with our pas de deux of love.
