Kaji-kun.
In spite of what happened...
Hey! Good morning, Tateishi!
Tateishi?
Good... Good morning.
Why are you staring into space? Not enough sleep?
Tsujiai-kun, you didn't say anything about me?
You didn't tell Kaji-kun...
that I like him?
Tsujiai-kun, can I see you?
Huh? Yesterday's... thing in the nurse's office?
Yeah. Um...
Oh! You want to know if I said anything to Kaji?
Uh, yeah.
It looked interesting, so I wanted to tell him all about it...
but then I thought you'd want me to keep it quiet.
Can I tell him?
No!
I really don't care about that stuff. Later!
What a relief! I was so wrecked over it.
It worried me so much that I couldn't sleep a wink last night.
Tsujiai-kun might not be such a bad guy after all!
But, you know...
wouldn't it be better if Kaji-kun simply found out about your feelings for him?
No! I told you, that's totally out of the question!
All right, I get it.
It's from Mama-san.
Hi, Nina-chan!
Yoo-hoo, Mama!
Look, look! This is Ayu-chan.
This is "Mama," the mother of the house...
where I'm having my homestay.
Ayu-chan! I've heard so many things about you.
Thank you for helping out Nina-chan!
Oh, no problem.
Mama, do you want something?
Well, I'm thinking of baking a chiffon cake for today's tea...
so please come home early today.
Oh, yes! By all means, please come over as well, Ayu-chan!
Good idea!
Ayu-chan, please come over and have some of Mama's cake.
But...
Mama, I'll be home with Ayu-chan right away!
Roger!
Well, let's go!
Uh, wait, um...
Thanks, Rio-chan.
Well, I'd better hurry.
Eggs, eggs...
Oh, no. That's all I have left?
Rio-chan? Can you give me a hand and do some shopping for me?
Shopping? Sure!
I'm counting on you.
I mean, right!
Let's see. Eggs, eggs...
Wow, that looks scrumptious!
Welcome! Out for some shopping, little boy?
Yeah. Eggs!
Eggs? Then you want this.
Its belly is packed full of eggs, and it's the best! You want it?
Yeah!
This is really tasty, too, 'cause it's in season!
Yeah!
This one fries up real good. You want it?
Yeah! Yeah!
Ow! What are you doing?
- I'm back! - Thanks for having me over.
Welcome! Please, come in.
Um, you're a normal person, aren't you, Mama-san?
Yes, I'm human. Although that sounds a little strange.
Uh, no. I feel sort of relieved and reassured to hear that.
Oh, really?
Papa, her husband, comes from the Magic Kingdom.
They met when Dad was studying abroad here, and they got married.
Wow.
But he's working a regular job at a normal human company.
Now, please. Come in.
Okay.
I wonder if they call this an international marriage?
Let's go, Ayu-chan.
This way.
Um, did something happen?
Oh, that. I'm still making the cake.
It's not going very well. I've already had two explosions so far.
Explosions?
Chiffon cakes are so difficult to make!
Well, back to work!
Mama's not very good at cooking, but she really likes the challenge.
I admire that a lot about her!
Th- That's true.
Me and Papa both feel the same way, and we both give her lots of support.
No matter how badly Mama messes up...
Papa will use his magic to clean it up in a twinkling.
Papa, you're wonderful!
- I love you! - That's so cool!
That makes sense.
Oh, that's odd. I was short on eggs...
so I sent Rio-chan to the store, but he's sure taking a long time.
Help!
What is that?
Somebody!
Mama, Nina! Do something!
It'll eat me!
- Rio! - Rio!
How did you get in there?
What a riot!
I can't believe the look on Rio's face!
Yuta!
Oh, my. It's been been a long time, Yuta-chan.
Ah, I had a good laugh.
Hi, Nina, Mama. Long time no see.
Who is he?
Uh, right. He's a childhood friend from the Magic Kingdom.
He's also related to my husband.
But... but what are you doing here, Yuta?
Well, actually...
Hey, what about me? Let me out of here!
Oops, I forgot.
It's pretty uncool to get eaten by a sardine, Rio.
You're so mean! Nina!
Yuta, you're always playing tricks on poor Rio!
Hey, you're pretty.
Nina, introduce us.
Not again. You always act like that when you see a cute girl.
Now, now.
Yuta-chan, Ayu-chan, don't stand around over there. Come in.
Yeah! Sit, sit!
Acting like it's HIS house!
So, where are the eggs, Rio-chan?
Er, um...
Did you forget?
But it's Yuta's fault.
Now what will I do? I went to all this trouble to make a Chiffon cake.
If you want a Chiffon cake, leave it to me.
You, Yuta-chan?
I see. So, this is a Chiffon cake.
Done!
Come on, eat up.
Amazing.
I didn't know this kind of amazing magic existed.
What a difference.
That's Yuta for you!
He's known as being a genius in the Magic Kingdom.
But what are you doing here?
Did you get kicked out for bad conduct?
It's nothing like that! I was feeling bored, so I came to visit, that's all.
This is good!
What? Really?
Really! Try it out.
Let's see.
Mmm, it's good!
You have some, too, Ayu-chan.
Uh, sure.
Me, too! Me, too!
Okay, okay. Hold your horses.
Well, I'll walk Ayu-chan home now.
Thanks for having me over.
Please visit again sometime.
Wait up!
What is it? Do you want to chat up Ayu-chan again?
Ayu! Please go out with me!
No way, no way! She already likes someone else!
Are you going out with him?
Not really.
Just a minute! Stop asking things that are impolite!
That means I still have a chance.
Are you free tomorrow afternoon?
I was hoping you could show me around.
I don't have anything special going on tomorrow, but I...
Accept this token of my affection.
Sorry, but I can't.
Ayu-chan!
I'll keep sending you roses until you say yes.
All right, all right. I'll show you around tomorrow.
Really?
So get rid of the roses.
Right on!
Ayu-chan? Are you sure about this?
It's okay. I'm only going to show him around.
Are you happy now?
Thank you, Ayu-chan!
Geez.
I'll walk the rest of the way.
- Uh, sure. - Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye. Until tomorrow! - Bye-bye.
Tomorrow is going to be great!
I'll be tagging along tomorrow.
Huh? Are you going to try to interfere?
You're the one who's interfering with her love life!
Watch it, or I'll get mad!
Go ahead. I'm not afraid of you in the least.
I'm not afraid of some witch drop out...
who can't do anything without a computer.
What the hell are you doing, Nina?
Say something gutsy in your defense!
Even if you are my grand-daughter, you're still pathetic.
But still... what the heck is Yuta up to?
Ayu!
It's too friendly to call a girl you only just met by her first name.
The weather is great today. It's the perfect day for a date.
I told you! This isn't a date!
So, where do you want to go?
There's nothing special in this area.
There's only the train station here. Do you know what a train is?
You need to buy a ticket to go in.
From an auto ticket machine, right?
This is a privately run residential-zoned train station...
so it's pretty quiet...
but go two stops, and there's a huge department store...
a movie theater, and a sports club.
What? There's a sports club there now?
Wait a minute, he knows the area better than I do.
I read the guidebook and studied before coming here.
Check it out! "How to Have a Great Time in the Human World."
I guess you don't need me to show you around then.
The sea.
I'd like to go to the sea.
Wow!
Whoa. So, this is the sea.
Don't you have anything like this in the Magic Kingdom?
There's something like it...
but it's not like the description in the guidebook.
It's better in real life.
Wow. Really?
How's Nina doing here? Is she using magic?
Yeah, sort of.
She probably makes nothing but mistakes.
She's kind of a drop out.
Uh, yeah.
Just as I thought. To use magic you need to be able to concentrate.
Nina really sucks at doing that.
That's why she can't do anything...
without her computer and treasure box.
Yuta likes to shoot his mouth off.
Yuta-kun, can you conjure magic without a computer?
Sort of. If it's a easy spell I can use just my fingers or eyes.
It's a little more difficult for Nina. For example...
What? How?
- Hey, look at that! - Wow!
Hey, wait. Yuta!
- Here you go. - Wow!
What's going on? Explosions?
Just a minute!
That was cool! Hey, did you see the looks on their faces?
Hey! That hurts!
You're a jerk!
- What's going on? - Ooh, that Yuta!
There seems to have been an explosion.
- Help me, please! - Hey! Anybody!
This is really bad!
- What is it this time? - Somebody fell into the ocean!
I've got to hurry! It's an emergency!
You can do it!
Um, um... Which spell would work?
Nina isn't naturally gifted at magic like you.
Sure, she's not that good at it...
but she always does her best on behalf of others!
We need another guy here!
All right, I'm ready! Pract...
Everyone, thank you so much.
Oh, he's already been rescued.
Is that so? I'll just be on my way, then.
She doesn't use her powers to goof around pointlessly like you do.
And even if she gets bad grades...
she's a far better magic user than you!
I'm leaving.
Wait!
I'm sorry. It's my fault. I went a little overboard.
It's just that ever since I came here...
people are so surprised by magic.
It was too funny to resist. I won't do it again! I swear!
Really?
Yeah.
That was fun! Thanks for everything, Ayu.
No sweat. I had a pretty good time myself.
Nina, you can stop hiding now!
Nina?
What? How did you know I was here?
You gave yourself away from the start.
What? Then you were with us the entire time?
Well, I was worried about you, Ayu-chan.
I had no idea.
Oh...
I forgot that I brought an instant camera with me.
Can I take one shot of you as a souvenir?
What? If you were gonna do that...
you should have taken it by the bay.
Yay! Get me in the shot!
All right.
Oh! That camera...
Huh? What is it?
That's... That's a Magical Camera!
The camera that reveals the person you like!
Don't!
Hmm. So this is your crush.
Here you go.
Wow! WOW!
It's a picture of Ka- Ka- Kaji-kun and me!
Wow! You two look great together!
Huh? But how?
I get why Kaji-kun would be here, but why am I there as well?
That's because I like you best of all.
- Huh? - Is that how it works?
Oh, yeah! I just had a good idea.
If I remember correctly, Kaji-kun said he has a practice match today.
Look, he's still there!
Hey, you're right.
It's your big chance, Ayu-chan.
Y- Yeah.
Don't goof up. That's the last shot.
I know.
If you're not in the picture, will you consider going out with me?
Don't! Don't say stuff that isn't necessary!
Ooh. Maybe I shouldn't take the photo.
Kaji-kun will leave!
Hurry up!
Aw...
To heck with it!
Ow...
Ayu-chan, are you okay?
Yeah, I didn't get hurt.
What about the camera?
Yeah. I sort of wasted the last shot.
I see. That's a shame.
Nina, it's gotten late, so I'll walk Ayu home.
Then I'll come with you.
No, you don't. At least let us be truly alone for the very end.
Are you okay with that, Ayu-chan?
Sure.
Well, I guess I'll let you take me home.
So, THIS is what it was all about.
What do you mean?
The reason you went and said that you liked me...
was because of this.
The only reason Nina would appear in the photo I took of you...
and the reason you came here was you wanted to see Nina, right?
So why are you going after me?
Are you trying to make Nina jealous?
Hardly.
You can't blame me.
Just look at this. She's just like a kid.
Saying that she likes a girl the best.
You have a point.
Ever since we were little...
she's never noticed how I feel about her.
I see.
Why don't you confess your feelings to her?
That might be the way to go.
Like you can talk. You can't do that for yourself.
Touché.
I'd rather stay childhood friends with her...
than make things uncomfortable between us.
He's just like me.
I won't tell Nina that you like her.
What? He went home?
Yeah. He came to the house yesterday after dropping you off.
He said that the exam break was over, so he was leaving.
Oh.
But he'll come again. I know he will.
He looked like he really took a liking to you.
You think so?
For sure!
Did you call for me?
YUTA!
You! What are your intentions towards Nina?
Nothing.
Listen! I don't want you to go see Nina again! Got it?
Well, I think I'll probably go see her again!
What did you say?
That devil. I'll have to be cautious with him!
I was worried about Nina getting along in the other world...
but she should be okay since her friend Ayu is with her.
I'm sure.

What am I gonna do?! I have to fight Tsujiai-kun in a tennis challenge!
Huh? How did that happen?
You see, it happened like this. Anyway, it'll be horrible if I lose.
All right, leave it to me! I'll use my magic!
What?! Don't!
I guess it was too late.
Ayu-chan, you make a pretty handsome boy!
That's not the point here.
