What's with the huge yawn?
I stayed up all night last night.
Huh? Why'd you do that?
That makes sense.
- You got tennis today? - Yeah, sure do.
You're kidding me. We got tests coming up, too.
Kaji-kun.
Oh, that's right!
I almost forgot. Tsujiai-kun, thanks for lending me this.
Oh, right. You didn't have to give it back right away.
It was so fun I stayed up all night to read it all.
It was a real riot when Sour Kamen shook off the bad guys...
who were chasing him and reunited with long-lost Zerozerozero.
Really? Not too many people can appreciate the comedy of that part.
Also, when the radar detector was broken...
I thought it was a nice idea to use Remora instead.
All the mechs in the story were really great.
That Remora goes back to Remora Number Three.
I like Kan-chan's cute copter.
But film-wise, Remora Number One was the coolest.
I didn't know that Tsujiai-kun was into comics and stuff.
He doesn't look the type, right?
Once he starts, you're in for the long haul...
so I steer clear of the subject...
but I'm glad he got himself a good pal.
The concert scene was good, wasn't it?
Oh, yeah! I laugh every time I remember it.
It's ridiculous.
How could that Nina have gotten a stone before I could?
That sure was a surprise.
When did you become such good friends with Tsujiai-kun?
That's what you get for reading comics all night.
Are you going to be okay for tomorrow's test?
I totally forgot!
Ayu-chan, would you study with me at my house today?
- Sure. - Yay, all right!
I know! Stay over at my place tonight, Ayu-chan.
Then I'll get Mama to bake a cake for us.
Ayu-chan, what do you want for dinner?
Wow! This is your first sleepover at my house! I'm getting excited!
Why am I coming over again?
Maya, you're looking at black magic web sites again.
I have no idea why you want to use stinky old black magic...
that uses lizard tails and frogs' livers.
Shut up. You're distracting me.
I can use this.
If I remember correctly, I bought one by mail order.
This is it.
Nina, laugh while you can.
I think it would be far more efficient to put that energy...
into searching for the stones instead of interfering with others.
Oh, boy.
Practice!
My voodoo doll is complete.
Alley-oop.
How do I get stuck doing stuff like this?
Somebody's coming!
Good afternoon!
Oh?
What is it?
What an ugly doll.
That's rude, you know.
It's a talking doll?
But it seemed to react to what I just said.
Nah, it must be my imagination.
It's not your imagination.
Wow, it's so cute!
Don't touch it! It- It spoke to me, and it did this with its neck!
Ow! Ouch, ouch...
Ayu-chan?
It's just a doll.
Huh?
Ayu-chan, did you bring a doll with you just to sleep over?
No, I didn't. I assure you, it's not mine.
What?
I don't know why, but it was sitting right here.
Really?
It's freaky, so it would be best to take it to Lost and Found.
But it was left here, right?
That means the owner might come for it, so I'll hold it for them.
What?
And besides, it's incredibly cute!
See? She looks like you, don't you think?
That's not flattering.
Come on, come inside.
Good afternoon!
Ayu-chan, thanks for coming. I'll make a decent cake right away.
Um, you really don't have to.
I'll go make us some tea...
so could you take her to my room in the meantime?
S - Sure.
I guess I was imagining all that stuff.
There's no way a doll could talk.
Ooh, that Nina. Explain to me how I look like her.
Geez...
Ayu-chan, I'm back!
Mama's cake got burned, but she says it still tastes good.
Oh, thanks.
Let's eat!
Uh, but what about studying?
Don't be shy and eat up!
- Thank you for the food! - Thank you for the food!
Ayu-chan, are you okay?
The doll! I turned it to face away a second ago...
and now it's facing this way!
It really is just a doll.
I put the doll in another room, so it's all right now.
Thanks.
Ayu-chan, maybe you're tired.
Maybe.
You're thinking too much. Come on, let's start studying.
Yeah.
Listen, this is pointless unless you frighten Nina.
It's your objective to inflict damage on Nina...
to interfere with her search for the stones.
I'm kind of having trouble going along with it.
I know I'm supposed to be a voodoo doll...
but I can't do anything really.
Maya says if you don't like it...
she'll change you back into a straw doll.
I'll do it.
So, you should apply the formula.
Uh-huh.
So after that, use this formula here.
Uh-huh.
Well, good luck.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh... Uh-huh...
Hey, Nina?
Do you hear strange footsteps?
Uh-huh...
They stopped.
Hey, Nina! Nina!
Aw, come on, Nina!
What is this?
Nina! Wake up, Nina!
I'll put a curse on you.
Huh?
Ayu-chan, are you asleep already?
And I was all prepared to really get into studying, too.
Another failure.
Maybe I'm not talented at the cursing business.
In the end, we had a good night sleep.
But my head feels clear thanks to that!
It would be nice if this would help me pass the test.
Right, Ayu-chan?
No, I couldn't sleep a wink.
I kept hearing eerie footsteps and laughter all night long.
What's wrong, Ayu-chan?
Y - Yeah. I had this feeling I was being followed.
What? I'm sure you're imagining it.
This time I will frighten Nina.
Maya-sama, make sure you see this.
Huh?
I can't believe how dense she is.
I'll throw it harder this time.
Ugh, it's no good. I don't get any of it.
Ow!
That hurt.
Th- Th- The doll...
What is it, Tateishi? We're having a test.
No!
Hey, Tateishi?
Damn. She's so useless.
Um, Teacher? I'll go see how she is.
Huh? This doll...
Ayu-chan, what happened all of a sudden?
That doll is here!
By doll, do you mean this, the doll from yesterday?
But I wonder what it's doing here at school?
Like I told you, the doll walked here on its own two feet!
I told you that I felt like I was being watched...
this morning, remember?
This doll walks and talks!
That's it! It's a voodoo doll! I'm sure that's what it is!
Nina, get rid of this horrible doll before something bad happens!
Ayu-chan...
If this really is a voodoo doll...
maybe it would be a good idea to get rid of it like Ayu-chan says.
I can't do it!
There's no way something this cute could be a voodoo doll, right?
Nina-chan...
Hey, you wanna throw it away?
Oh, Tsujiai-kun.
Let me see that.
Sure.
It looks sort of like an antique.
Tsujiai-kun, do you know a lot about dolls?
Not really, but I like anime and monster dolls...
and I've got a large collection.
I know! Tsujiai-kun, do you think you could take this doll?
I can't leave it at home, because it scares Ayu-chan...
and Tsujiai-kun would probably look after it.
Come on, please, Tsujiai-kun?
Well, I guess I could.
Really? That's great! Take good care of her, okay?
Sure.
This can't be happening.
Maya, you really should give up on the idea.
Silence! Now that it's come down to this...
go instruct the doll to feed Nina this potion.
Are you playing with dangerous things again?
What am I doing here?
That's what I'd like to ask you! Get out of here right now!
What? But I'm going to be adopted by the family...
of the boy named Tsujiai-kun.
I think he'd probably worry if I suddenly went missing.
Don't act coy. You're supposed to be a voodoo doll.
- Here, take this. - Wh- What is this?
Maya orders you to feed this to Nina.
Poison? I can't possibly do something that horrible.
If you don't, it's back to straw with you.
I'll do it!
I'll put it in her mouth while she's in the shower, and...
Huh?
Now my plan is perfect.
It felt like I just stepped on something.
Oh, well.
I feel kind of sleepy after that shower.
I'll put it in her mouth while she's sleeping, and...
It will work this time.
And a one... And a two...
Ayu-chan, look out!
Try again!
Oh, it was nothing I couldn't handle.
Now that it's come to this, I'll mix the poison in with this soup.
Mama, are you here?
Oh, Mama, you left the flame on under the soup!
I'm sorry. Nina-chan, could you turn it off?
I'm famished.
Maybe we should have dinner now.
Yay!
Ouch, that's hot!
That was awful.
Huh? The poison...
This time I pulled it off, but the soup is full of poison.
If they go ahead and eat this...
it'll kill the entire family, not just Nina.
Ooh, how terrifying.
Nina-chan, would you bring in the soup pot?
Okay!
Mmm, it looks good.
It's not bad for something made by me, hmm?
Can I have a taste?
Go ahead.
She's incredibly cute!
But she's so cute.
Don't eat it!
The doll?
You mustn't eat that soup.
The doll is walking and talking!
There's poison in this soup. If you eat it, it'll be horrible.
Wow, that's amazing! Isn't this...
I see, it's magic!
Nina-chan, are you paying attention to me?
Right, sorry.
What? Poison?
Yes. I put this poison into the soup.
But why would you do such a thing?
I am a voodoo doll.
But the truth is, I don't have the courage to feed you poison...
and I'm a voodoo doll failure! And besides...
- Besides? - Besides?
You called me cute, and you were very kind to me.
But for all that, I tried to poison you, and I...
I'm really sorry!
Boy, I'm hungry.
No way. Dollie?
What's wrong?
The doll accidentally ate poisoned soup.
- What? - Hang on, Dollie!
Dollie, open your eyes!
This isn't poison.
- Huh? - Huh?
Well, it should be really hard to ride it out...
but this is a potion that produces the same effects...
as what we call bad hay fever in the human world.
Anyway, she should be better in about twelve hours.
Thank goodness, Dollie!
Nina-chan...
Magic? Well, I'll be.
Then it wasn't a voodoo doll after all.
How should I describe it?
I guess you could call her a voodoo doll dropout.
Sakura.
Tsujiai-kun.
Actually, about that doll you gave me...
I misplaced it. I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm sorry.
D - Don't sweat it!
Huh? But...
I bet she went on a journey.
Maybe the doll decided she'd like to get out and see the world.
What is it?
You don't have a fever.
You're a real funny girl.
Funny? Ayu-chan, what do you think he meant by that?
He probably said it in praise.
You think so?
Why did you drink the potion I went to great lengths to acquire?
It was just a little slip-up.
But I don't want to become an ordinary doll.
I want to go on a journey and see more of the world.
So go wherever you want. I'm surrounded by incompetents.
I think that your magic level is to blame for that.

Who on earth is that person? He's all over Orihara-san.
He doesn't appear to be a boyfriend.
That's her butler, Sebastian.
Wow, so he's here from the Magic Kingdom.
He's so smitten with Maya-chan, he'd go through fire or water for her.
He's a bit of a pain.
Really? Is she also losing it with him a little?
Looks like it. Aw, I got a bad feeling about this!
