Look at the time! Thanks for breakfast!
Uh, let's see... My hankie, my hankie!
Thanks.
- Where is my English notebook? - You're welcome.
- My hair looks like I slept on it! - Your English notes are over here.
Oh, thanks.
Here's your hankie.
Thank you, Mama!
Would you like another cup of tea?
I'm sorry. I don't have time.
My hair!
Why are you losing your head so early in the day, Nina?
You have yet to find a single holy stone as well.
At this rate, you'll never be admitted...
back into the Magic Kingdom.
Yeesh. What if Maya beats you to it?
See that?
- Sure did! - I certainly did!
Hear that?
- Sure did! - I heard it!
Big sister Nina's in a bind.
She hasn't found any holy stones yet.
Say, why don't we go and assist her?
I was thinking the same thing!
Me, too! Me, too!
The Magic Encylopedia...
and Grampa's secret stash of herbs. All set.
Lightning balls and a set of blocks. All set!
The Magical Toy Box and the snacks are all ready!
Very well! Pine!
- Bamboo! - Plum!
- To the human world! - To the human world!
We're coming, okay?
Big sister Nina!
We're on our way!
What is it, Nina?
I'm not sure what it was...
but I just felt a shiver down my spine.
Really? Maybe there's gonna be a pop quiz!
It's okay. I have no sixth sense whatsoever!
Really?
Wait, isn't that bad for a witch not to have?
It might be.
Please... Please let nothing weird come out of it today.
Thank goodness.
- Yoo-hoo! - Yoo-hoo!
I saw it, I saw it!
Triplets! Three flying triplets! W -Wait!
Mr. Mikami?
Tr- Triplets...
Are you all right?
Tr- Triplets. There were triplets.
They flew out of my locker on a dinosaur...
floating in midair whirling its tail.
You must have hit your head really hard.
Let's go to the nurse's office.
Hey, Pine. Where's big sister Nina?
Let's see.
Her classroom is Year Two, Class Two.
Oh! It's probably on this floor!
All right, go!
Come on, everyone knows already!
Attention, everyone!
Mr. Mikami has gone to the nurse's office...
so he won't be able to make it back to the homeroom hour.
Does Mr. Mikami have bad health?
What? I doubt that.
But he's been going to the nurse's office...
an awful lot recently.
Come to think of it, you're right.
A clue to a holy stone.
Maya-chan's practicing black magic at school again.
It's probably better than lighting candles.
- You know these kids? - Uh-huh, uh-huh.
What are you doing?
Who are those children?
Well...
Th- Th- These are my cousins!
So, they're your cousins. But are you sure about this?
Huh?
They're being crushed.
Sorry!
Are you three okay?
Boy, that was scary.
That was weird how you suddenly jumped on us, big sister Nina.
You must have been really happy to see us!
You could say that.
S -So, anyway, what brings you three here?
We came here to find the holy stones!
Big sis! Don't lose to that witch Maya!
If we join efforts, we'll find them in the blink of an eye.
Soon you'll become a celebrity in the Magic Kingdom, big sister Nina.
Yeah!
You guys...
Holy stones?
Magic Kingdom?
What's that? A magical girl anime story?
Tiny kids sure have a lot of imagination.
Yeah!
They're cute - so full of dreams.
Thank God!
Yeah, yeah.
Well, they are little kids.
Just a sec, big sister Ayu.
Huh? What is it?
That's the boy you like, isn't it?
We know, 'cause I saw it on our Magic Computers.
It -It -It's nothing!
My cool image...
What do you know, little kids?
Anyway, you know you're not allowed...
to come to the school without permission!
What? But...
We came here to help you!
Just come with me!
You tell 'em.
Listen, you can't come to the human world...
without adult supervision.
Now go back to the Magic Kingdom.
But...
I don't wanna hear it.
I'll ask Grandpa if you can come for a visit soon...
so go home now. Scoot!
Okay.
Class will start without us!
You underestimate us, big sister Nina.
We won't give up that easily.
That's right. We will find the holy stones no matter what!
Maybe I'm over-tired like Miss Tamura says.
That has to be it.
It's impossible for triplets to jump out of my locker.
Argh! It's them!
Why, you!
Who are you guys?
Let go of us! Let go of us!
No! In the first place, it's against school rules...
to fly around the school building! Probably!
Jeez!
Please don't get in our way!
This is what we do to nuisances!
What was that sound?
Oh, dear! Mr. Mikami, what happened to you?
A gas explosion? Or did lightning hit you?
But why are you so blue?
Anyway, let's get you to the nurse's office.
Well, since Mr. Mikami has again gone to the nurse's office...
first period is self-study.
What, again?
Hey, what's wrong with Mr. Mikami?
It's strange, actually.
Something about a gas explosion in the locker room.
Like, he had turned blue all over. It makes no sense whatsoever.
What is it?
Ayu-chan...
the triplets might have something to do with it!
What?
Is there any good place to cast a spell?
Somewhere big sister Nina can't see us.
Why don't we search from the sky?
You're smart!
Lightning balls?
Yeah. When you use them it explodes like a bolt of lightning...
and it dyes the victim.
Hey, isn't that more powerful than your magic?
Simple magic is easy!
When I was little, once I came real close...
to destroying the house with them.
Is that anything to brag about?
Anyway, if we leave it like this, we'll be in trouble.
Uh, yeah. That's true.
We have to find them before there's an uproar.
What? You want candy?
Bother me later. I'm at an important spot.
Where would be good?
Oh, how about over there?
Okay.
Nina-sama, what magic spell do you seek?
Listen, I want to find a way to find the triplets.
There is a spell to find things using a doll.
Oh! Give me that one!
To begin, insert holy water into the Treasure Box.
Next, add a stardust mint leaf...
a droplet stone from the white moon....
the feather of a phoenix...
three types of the scale of a dragon...
Oh, forget it.
We'll just have to search the streets after all.
Ooh! Why are those kids doing this?
When I find them, they're getting a lecture!
I'm sorry for coming here again without permission...
but I was so bored.
I'm glad you're here!
Help us to locate Pine, Bamboo, and Plum.
What? I can't stand those triplets.
- Let's play! Let's play!
- Ow! Ow, ow, ow!
Help me out.
If I have to.
If we use the spell that uses a doll to find stuff...
I'm sure we'll find the holy stones.
If we're gonna do that, it'd be cooler to use a robot.
Say, Pine? What are the magic ingredients?
Let's see, it starts with...
The words are all hard to read. Let's see...
Put in something-water.
Something-water?
If it's water we need, I have magic mineral water.
Here we go.
And next... a star-something mint.
Mint? Oh, would a star-shaped magic-brand mint candy suffice?
Next...
a something-stone from a white-something.
What? I don't have a stone.
If you need a white stone, I picked one up the other day.
See?
Thank you, Bamboo.
And next...
They're not here.
They're nowhere.
I wonder where they went.
To finish it, we need three types of herbs.
Um, the names of the herbs are...
I can't read them whatsoever!
If we put in all of Grandpa's herbs...
some of them will match it.
It's looking good.
Yeah!
Let me see.
Oh, nuts! The lightning balls!
Ruru?
What was that sound?
What could it be?
What shall we do?
Be careful, more lightning balls are lying around.
Don't step on them.
- Bamboo! - Are you all right?
What's that?
Ruru!
Who did this to you?
I won't forgive them.
That was horrible.
I feel quite dizzy.
You three!
You will pay...
for what you did to Ruru.
Watch out!
A robot?
We did it!
The spell was a huge success!
Robot, find us the holy stones!
- The spell... - ...Was a failure!
Apparently!
What is this?
No! What the heck is happening?
Yikes, this is bad!
What the... This is a fantastic supernatural phenomenon!
It's Kawanakajima-kun!
I, the chairman of the Wonders of the World Investigation Committee...
will discover the truth behind it!
No, wait!
It's a nightmare.
What'll I do?
At this rate, everyone from the school will come!
Which means...
Hey, this is no time to wink.
Nina-sama, what magic spell do you s -
A spell to calm down this commotion!
Th- That is not an easy task.
I don't care what it is! Just hurry!
I understand. Then use this.
Yeah, that'll be fine.
Practice!
It's done.
Please work!
Please! Please!
D - Do you think it worked?
Based on your track record, I get the feeling it didn't, but...
But I really hope it did!
Why am I here?
- Yay! - Yay!
- Nina! - Ayu-chan!
It worked!
Honestly! Something horrible almost happened...
thanks to your pranks!
It's already bad enough...
that you came here without permission!
- We're sorry! - We're sorry!
You can't cry your way out of it!
It's just that we've been so lonely...
ever since you went away!
You get to come home once you find the holy stones, right?
We were trying to help you out so you could come home sooner!
You guys...
I get it. They did it for Nina.
I'm sorry. Please don't cry! I understand how you feel now.
I'll work my hardest to find the holy stones quicker.
Then I'll come home, so you three wait for me like good little girls.
Okay?
- Big sister! - Big sister!
See you! Be careful going home!
Do your best, big sister!
We'll be rooting for you!
Please come home soon!
- See you! - See you!
Man, I'm exhausted.
Back to class.
Think I'll go home and have a nap.
I feel a lot better after that nap.
Isn't this...
Oops! We forgot something!

Yuta came for another visit. He probably came here to see you.
No, Yuta-kun came here to see...
What? He went off with Maya-chan to search for a holy stone?
I thought he was on my side.
You're kidding. Why?
I think they went to the fun park together. Let's go, too!
Right! The question is, will Nina actually acquire a stone?
And why does she have to collect them in the first place?
The secret is slowly starting to unravel.
Episode nine of Ultra Maniacs is "Item."
Please reach his heart!
Practice! Hey, we got it backwards.
