Nina! How could you allow a stone to be taken from you?
First of all, you are too carefree!
If you don't change that, you'll be overtaken again!
Why do you think you're in the human world in the first place?
You are studying for the sake of the magic world...
and even for the human world! Do you understand that?
You haven't mentally prepared for the task at hand!
I am so ashamed to have you as my granddaughter.
It's your fault for...
Sorry, Grandpa. I'll read it all later, okay?
See you later!
- Have a nice day! - Have a nice day!
Morning, Ayu-chan!
Morning!
Nina Saqurail.
Compared to the others, her level is still slightly higher.
Maybe she should be given a push before it's too late.
Isn't our baseball team great?
They got all the way to the district tournament final...
before anyone knew what was happening.
Yeah.
Look at you. You're more nervous than they are.
I can't help it!
Kaji-kun is the ace and 4th to bat, so he's got a lot of responsibility.
Kaji-kun!
Hi, Tateishi, Sakura.
Have you already finished practice?
Yeah, because the game is tomorrow.
That makes sense. Good luck tomorrow.
We'll both come to cheer you on.
Thanks!
We're definitely coming to cheer for you, so don't lose, okay?
I'll do my best!
Um, Kaji-kun?
Yes?
Uh...
Oh, no! What'll I say?
"Give it your best!" No, that's so ordinary.
"Hit a home run!" No, that's too much pressure.
"Never mind who wins and loses, just don't get hurt!"
No, that would make me sound like a total goodie-goodie.
Um, um... I know!
I hope it's a nice day tomorrow!
Yeah, me, too.
Tetsushi!
Why are you dragging your feet? Hurry home to rest up for the game.
Uh, right. I'm going.
Bye!
She could have let him hang around a little while.
Akiho-san, you're greedy!
Let's go home, Nina.
Yeah.
Come on. Can't I, Nina?
I want to come cheer for the baseball team, too.
Sure, you can come. The more to cheer for them the better.
Right on!
Nina-chan!
Are you ready?
Uh, yeah.
By the way, what did your Grandpa have to say...
in that letter he sent you yesterday?
Oh, I forgot!
It's gone. That's strange.
I'm sure I put it in my bag yesterday.
I'll try searching for it with magic.
Huh? My computer isn't working.
Oh, my. Did the battery run out?
No, this computer is linked to the power of the user...
so the battery shouldn't be able to run out.
Really?
You sure the computer didn't shut itself off?
No. It's different.
It doesn't look like it's broken, either.
Hey, Nina?
Shouldn't we get going? We'll be late.
Oh, that's right!
Anyway, see you later!
I'll do something about Grandpa's letter when I get back. Bye!
Have fun!
What?
Well, I'll be. It's right here.
Nina-chan is so scatterbrained!
Huh? No magic?
You can't use your magic?
Yeah. To be more accurate...
I can't use the computer right now.
Really? But what caused that to happen?
I don't know. This has never happened before.
Hey, it's Tsujiai. Yoo-hoo!
Hey there.
We're a little far away, but we have a good view from here.
Hey, isn't it gonna start yet?
Yeah, I think it'll start soon.
Akiho-san is all over Kaji-kun, huh?
Yeah.
Kaji-kun...
Is he doing that because I hoped it'd be a nice day?
Play ball!
Strike!
- That's the way! Go for it! - Get 'em! Get 'em!
- Good going, Kaji! - Keep it up!
Aw, we're not getting many points.
What's wrong?
Look. That person's hat was blown up there by the wind.
I thought maybe I could move it with my magic, but...
With magic?
Yeah, without using my computer like Yuta does.
But I don't think I can.
So, you can't do it?
I guess he really is a genius.
I can't even make it twitch even though I went a level up.
Oh, it's Kaji's turn at bat!
Whack that sucker, Kaji!
That's Kaji-kun to you!
- Kaji! - Kaji!
It's a triple!
Right on!
Oh, oops!
Did he see him?
I think...it's okay.
Rio?
I forgot. I'm sorry.
Wh- What was that?
- Do you really get it? - What the heck are they?
I got it, I got it!
Two out. The 2nd and 3rd bases loaded.
Aw, it's already the last round.
There's no more rounds left.
- Kaji, we're counting on you! - Take it nice and calm!
Hit us a big one!
Kaji-kun, hit it!
Kaji-kun!
Hey! Are you all right?
Something is wrong.
He's not moving.
Kaji!
Kaji?
This is horrible!
Kaji-kun! Kaji-kun!
Kaji-kun!
Kaji-kun? Kaji-kun?!
Hey, what happens to the game?
Ow!
Ayu-chan, he'll be okay.
Yeah.
Then he's still unconscious?
Yeah. That's what the doctor said.
He's still under observation, so they won't even let me see him.
Fortunately, there was less damage to his head than we thought...
but it looks like he hurt his arm a little when he fell.
I see.
Is Kaji's mom with him?
Yeah, as well as Hirota.
Akiho-san?
I think she's friends with Kaji's mother.
His father was temporarily relocated for his job overseas...
so it looks like she depends on Hirota for a lot of things.
Well, if Akiho-san is with him, there's nothing to worry about.
She's really thoughtful, and Kaji also has a lot of faith in her, so...
Don't say stuff you don't need to!
But it's a real shame they lost the game.
If it hadn't been for that dead ball...
Be quiet!
It's all right, Nina.
It's all right.
I'm okay, so don't worry.
Well, I'm going now.
Ayu-chan...
How can I not worry?
What's the matter with Tateishi? She seems awfully depressed.
Totally.
Numbskulls!
- Who, me? - Who, me?
He'll be okay...right?
I'm sorry for making you come with me.
I'm worried about Kaji-kun, too, you know.
I hope he's awake now.
Yeah.
Kaji-kun? Kaji-kun?!
Kaji-kun! Kaji-kun?
Kaji-kun! Kaji-kun!
Tetsushi! I heard you regained consciousness.
Your mom told me earlier.
She's out right now buying things.
It's me, Tetsushi. Can you see me?
Tetsushi? Tetsushi?
Tateishi...
Tetsushi Kaji, right?
Yes.
Oh, Akiho-san.
Oh...it's you guys.
What, still?
Yeah. He's not awake yet.
I see.
Um, could you give him these get-well flowers...
from myself and Nina?
They're cute. I'll take them for him.
Also, I wrote him a letter.
Thanks, but he's still unconscious, so...
But he could wake up.
Then he could...
Okay, then save it until he does.
Akiho-san...
I have to get back to Tetsushi. His mother asked me to.
Um...um, would it be okay if we were to see him...
just for a minute? If we can just see his face...
What good would that do?
Will he heal if you see his face?
Will he regain consciousness?
Uh, no.
If you really care about him, please leave him alone.
Uh, wait!
It's all right. Really.
Ayu-chan.
She's right, you know.
Wanting to see him and to know about his condition...
and wanting to give him my letter is selfishness on my part.
Ayu-chan?
If I care about Kaji-kun...
the best thing I can do is be patient and wait, right?
Leave this to me!
Huh?
It's okay. I won't do anything reckless.
It might not work...
but you wrote this letter for him.
What kind of magic spell are you searching for?
Something simple, but a little advanced.
This is so difficult!
I've never seen you look at Papa's magic books...
so seriously before.
It's inconvenient without the computer, huh?
But it forces her to search for it herself, so it's more educational.
Oh, I see now!
That makes sense. Yeah, yeah.
See you later!
What? You're going out now?
Yeah.
Take me with you!
That was Sakura-san.
She looked like she was in a hurry. That is thoroughly suspicious.
I may be presented with another photo opportunity!
Tetsushi, would you like an apple?
Sure.
What are you going to do?
To start, I need to open that window.
What? I doubt you can do it.
You've never used magic without your computer, have you?
So I'm going to try now! I'm a witch, so I can do it!
This is bad news.
Sakura-san. I have my fingers on your secret, you know.
If I publicize this, there will be a huge commotion.
In other words...
I will choose the most effective and sensational moment to do it.
Still, aren't you going to transform today?
Mom, what's that?
Oh, those flowers? Akiho-chan said that friends from your class...
brought them over on behalf of the other students.
Oh.
I don't think you can do it.
You sure are working hard.
You did it!
I'm going to deliver this to that window.
Using your magic powers?
Yes, using my magic powers. Like I did just now.
Keep trying! I'll help you!
Sakura-san holds no attraction when she doesn't transform.
I'm spent!
Reach him!
Practice!
Deliver Ayu-chan's love...
to him!
You did it, Nina! Amazing, amazing!
Knock it off, Rio.
Tateishi?
Dear Kaji-kun, how are your injuries now?
Nina and Tsujiai-kun are both worried about you...
and of course, I am, too.
Hello?
Uh, Tateishi?
Kaji-kun?!
Yeah. Sorry to call so early.
Kaji-kun...are your injuries okay?
Yeah, my brain waves and the MRI scan are both normal.
Only...
my arm hurts a little 'cause it got sprained.
Your arm?
Yeah. When I fell, I tried to shield myself unconsciously...
and it looks like it twisted funny.
So, that's what happened.
I'll probably be in the hospital for a few more days to be safe...
but it's nothing major anymore.
Also...
thanks for the letter.
When I woke up, it was sitting on top of the bed.
Did you ask a nurse to leave it there?
Uh, y - yeah!
I was so glad to get it. I got up early.
Oh, really? Yeah.
So, that's why!
Thank you, Nina!
Nina-chan, you'll be late!
Nina-chan?
For Pete's sake!
And she didn't even bother to read the letter I sent her!
Oh, well! I was mostly shouting...
and didn't have anything in particular to say.
Still...
Look how much she's improved.
Just as I thought.
That was certainly worth the effort.
End.

What? You got a pet, Ayu-chan?
Yeah! Tsujiai-kun has one, too. A cute kitty named Shinnosuke.
Really? He might get along with Rio.
Want to try getting everyone together sometime?
I second that! Okay, I'll give him these cookies as a present.
Don't tell me these are...
Cookies that will transform him into a human.
I'm totally uneasy about this! In the meantime...
the boy, Shinnosuke!
