Where is she!?
No running in the hallways!
Hey, did you see a witch around here?
A witch?
If you haven't, then nevermind.
I said, no running...
I have to hurry and find the witch to cancel the effect of the fake Gift!
If I don't, I...
Coming!
Kirino-chan!
What's wrong?
There's something...
...I have to talk to you about.

The Meaning of Happiness
No way! You met the witch?
Thanks to her, I'm fully fluent in English now.
Now Kathy will be mine.
Hey!
Where did you meet the witch?
In the courtyard...
Thanks!
That was the day before yesterday, though...
Dunno, haven't seen her.
Though I have been confessed to by some freshman...
...who got himself a make-over from a fake Gift in order to meet my standards.
What was his name?
All I know is that he was a librarian.
I have no interest in men utilising fakes.
If you want to associate with me...
Huh?
H-Hey, where did you go!?
He's not here?
Then at least tell me his name and class!
Are you listening?
That boy transferred out.
After he turned into a pretty boy, he was scouted out to become a model.
Damn it...
There goes my lead...
Do you have a wish for the witch?
Yeah...
She's granted one of my wishes as well.
She brought back our dog that had gotten lost.
Where did you meet her!?
Err...
Behind the station...
Damn, she's been throwing around fake Gifts as if they were nothing!
Damn...
Yes?
Are you still conducting your primitive and futile investigation?
You're searching for a needle in a haystack.
If you have nothing useful to say, I'm hanging up!
The witch is currently...
...flying eastward at an estimated altitude of 300 meters.
How do you know?
My fixed-point observational radar just happened to come in handy.
Fixed-point observation?
Science doesn't need any reasons.
And one more thing.
I have something to offer you.
Pursuit unit Ichirou-kun!
Steering is done by shifting your weight, making for easy movement...
...and it's equipped with a communication device as well.
However...
Whatever!
Anyway, I'm borrowing it!
Just wait, Riko!
...it is not possible to stop its movement yet, though.
Don't prepare something like that!!!
I'm sorry...
It's my fault that...
...Haruhiko-kun is...
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry!
I'm sorry...
...our promise...
I...
...can't blame you for anything.
Hey Amami, do you have a minute?
Straight ahead of you...
...there is a pond.
Say that a little sooner!!!
What do you think of my machine?
Its performance is tuned to its physical limits!
Don't make any unneeded improvements!
There she is!
Hey!
Wait!!!
Wait!
Come on!
No way! How is that possible!?
Don't you say that!
No!
Hey!
Sorry to barge in!
Excuse me!
Geez! Why are you chasing me!?
I have something to talk to you about!
Please, listen to me...
Watch out!
Are you okay?
Please turn me back to normal!
Please!
Turn me back to normal!
Oh, you have a wish?
Then you should've said so sooner!
I want you to cancel the fake Gift you gave to Kirino!
Cancel it?
You gave it to her in the music room at school the day before yesterday, didn't you?
I certainly gave it to her...
...but what about it?
It has affected me.
The girl I like is looking like a different person.
I beg of you.
Turn me back to normal!
I'm sorry.
I can't.
Why not!?
My magic...
The fake Gifts...
It's not possible to cancel them individually.
No way...
That can't be...
I'm sorry!
Wait!
Please wait!
I'm not done yet!
No!
Let go!
Hey, you okay?
Ouch...
W-Why...
...are you...
You're the witch!
Looks like I'm found out!
You've been giving away the fake Gifts?
I received this power from my mother.
Since I was little, I've been doing everything my mother told me to do.
I thought that was happiness.
However, one day...
...I started questioning whether this was really okay.
But, I knew my mother cared about me, so...
...I figured it was fine how it was, and that I would attain happiness this way.
However...
An arranged marriage?
Yes.
I am sure this person will make you happy.
Really?
If I keep doing everything you say, will I really be happy in the end?
Chisa!
Is happiness really something one can just receive?
It is something that can be given.
Want to make sure?
With your own two hands.
Gift.
After that, I dressed up as a witch and gave away fake Gifts to numerous people.
But...
They're still fakes, right?
Things like that can't give anyone true happiness!
Amami-kun...
Gift is...
...something much... much more precious.
To the point that it can even give life.
Chisa!
Please return that power to your mother!
In that case, the effect of the fake Gifts will disappear.
I'm sorry.
Why not!?
Because...!
Because...
...there are so many people I've made happy through the fake Gifts!
I can't just take all those people's happiness away...
It was just like Mother said!
Happiness can be easily received.
Narasaki Shopping District
You're a pretty lady!
I'll give you an extra croquette for free!
Good day, Amami-san!
Are you on your way home?
I see...
You knew about Chisa...
Yes.
Somehow.
I wonder if she's really okay with this...
Happiness can be easily received.
I think she is still confused.
I figure she is.
She has always obeyed her parents' every whim.
That is not really the way to put it...
Chisa-san loves her mother very much.
Of course, her mother loves her as well.
That is why...
...I think she will be fine no matter the path she chooses.
As long as she is happy along the way.
Is that really so?
To tell you the truth, I have no memories.
I have amnesia.
Amnesia being... that?
Yes, that.
Were you surprised?
Extremely.
You didn't seem that way at all.
I think that is because I am happy right now.
Did I have a wonderful life in the past?
Or was I miserable instead?
I have no way of knowing that.
However, right now...
...I feel very blessed to be supported by Chisa-san, her parents, Jinta-san and my many friends.
I am sure the people who knew me in the past...
...are praying for me to live a blissful life as well.
What is important...
...is not the past, but the future.
What's important is not the past, but the future, huh?
All right!
If I can't solve this through the witch, I need to move on and look for other ways.
Fake or not, it is still related to the Gift.
I'll ask Tama-nee about it first.
That's right...
She mentioned the fake Gift was invoked that evening.
That means...
It was my fault?
Because I...
...saw my mother in Riko...?
Onii-chan? You're back, aren't you?
Dinner is ready.
Hey now!
Just who are you mistaking your cute little sister for?
H-How did you...?
I heard from Kirino-chan.
I see...
Cheer up!
It's not like it's your fault.
Just don't blame Kirino-chan for this, okay?
I can't blame her.
It's all... my fault.
Still caught up in the past...
...yet putting the blame on someone else...
...I truly am the worst kind of fool.
I can't even tell what expression you're making right now.
Onii-chan...
Haruhiko-kun?
Please take me to Chisa's house right now.
Right now?
Yeah.
I'm going to see the witch.
What did you want to talk about?
Of course, it's about the fake Gifts, right?
I want one as well.
A fake Gift.
You do?
Yeah.
Why...?
In order to erase that over there.
Why!?
That rainbow symbolizes the Gift!
Haruhiko-kun, the Gift was so precious to you...!
Riko...
I'm seeing my mother in Riko.
It's probably because I've always kept thinking about my mother.
I think that's why it's come to this.
But...
...the person before me is not my mother.
It's Riko!
A good cook, humble to anyone, haughty at home and packing a powerful chop.
My little sister.
Onii-chan...
I...
...can't live under these conditions.
I don't want to!
I want to see you the way you are!
If I can't return the fake Gift back to normal...
...I'll just have to cut off the root of the problem.
I'll erase the rainbow Mother loved...
...and erase my memories of her with it.
Are you sure?
Very sure!
What I want to protect right now is Riko!
What's important is not the past, but the future.
Come on, Chisa!
You won't... regret it?
I decided this myself.
I won't regret it.
I'm sorry!
Hey, wait!
I'm sorry, Amami-kun.
I can't give you a fake Gift.
I'll return this power to my mother.
But, if you do that...
The happiness I gave to all those people will probably disappear as well.
Are you okay with that?
It's fine!
You can't receive happiness that easily after all.
Seeing you made me realize that.
Me?
Mother, thank you for everything.
But I think I have to walk on my own strength after all.
Chisa.
I understand.
Thank you...
...Mother.
Hey, Kirino!
There's no need to condemn yourself anymore, is there?
That's right!
But now that everything's back to normal...
...it'll be tiring to have to see this face again every day.
Hey!
I can't let that comment slide!
At least cosplay for me?
Why would I!?
Then what would you want me to cosplay as?
- Let's see...
Say it if you dare!
- An executioner would suit you!
C'mon, let's hurry home!
Kirino-chan, you say something to him too!
Come back here!
Well, everyone...
...I take it all of you have received the guidebook for our school trip?
Yes!
You are free to choose which tours you are going to participate in yourselves.
Incidentally, my recommendation would be...
...the Bou Shrine, which is famous for its fulfillment of love.
The kindergarten next to it, actually.
It is very nice.
The sight of innocent angels skipping about in the early summer sunshine...
...it is truly heaven!
What did you want to talk about?
The destination for your school trip has been decided, huh?
Ah, you want a souvenir?
Leave it to me!
I'll bring you back a rockin' souvenir from Kyoto!
There is something specific I want.
There's a shrine that is famed to be able to fulfill one's love.
Do you know it?
We just heard about it...
I want a charm from that shrine.
One from you, to me!

Everyone, we're going on a school trip.
A trip to broaden your horizons and enrich your life.
That is, meeting innocent angels...
...their lovely antics, their sweet smiles, their ambrosial youth!
I have to see all this for myself!
This is my supreme mission.
The greatest bliss in life!
Oh God, please show me the path!
If anyone is interested, please drop by the staff room later.
Time of Memories
Next time, "Time of Memories."
Gift. Of course, I will give it to one of my pure angels...
