If you're sad, it's okay to cry
There is that kind of world at night
Show me, tell me the emotions you embrace
Shining inside of the mirror
Another world concealed behind the mirror
is starting to make a move
Feelings of love, wishes, even time
These are all free
You are precious, so I want you to touch me
There is that kind of world at night
Nothing can interrupt this
The inside of the mirror opens
I brought him.
Uh, hi.
Um...
I haven't told him anything yet.
I only told him you needed to tell him something.
Uh, right.
It's something everyone knows but me?
Yeah. It's about me, and it's really important.
Important?
Listen, Kaji-kun. I might not get you to believe me...
but I'm actually...
Oh, brother.
What do you mean, you're a witch?
Well, I come from a place called the Magic Kingdom.
I'm not very good at magic yet...
but I'm studying to improve that.
Well, this is all kind of sudden.
That's true. I guess if somebody suddenly tells you they're a witch...
I guess it's hard to believe. I guess it's too much.
Yeah. But both of you already know about this?
Yeah, I knew.
Me, too.
You know, when I first saw Sakura transform...
I thought she was an alien or something.
I was also surprised at first...
but I gradually learned to believe it.
This costume is the school uniform of the Magic Kingdom.
So is the one Maya-chan wears.
Maya-chan? Orihara? Do you mean she's a witch, too?
Yeah!
Actually, her being a witch wasn't such a leap.
She kind of fits the bill.
Well, sort of.
Are you okay, Kaji-kun?
Sakura is a witch. Orihara is also a witch.
I can't believe it, but I saw it with my own eyes.
I saw her transform!
Don't strain yourself, Kaji-kun. I think you'll gradually understand.
Nina and Orihara-san were childhood friends...
in the Magic Kingdom, and they're collecting gems called holy stones...
to increase their magical levels.
Uh, yeah. About that...
Do you remember how I said there's something I need to tell you?
Yeah.
The truth is, I...
Nina? Nina, where are you?
She disappeared!
Nina! Don't go around saying things that are better left unsaid!
I thought it was you, Grandpa.
But I was all determined to tell her!
Determined?
Do you understand the meaning of that word?
When you say you were determined to tell her...
I know. I know it's useless to tell her about it.
Once I'm princess, it'll all be...
But I still want to tell her!
Right now is most important.
I want her to understand right now!
Nina...
If you are prepared for it, then so be it.
I will trust you.
Yeah!
Hello, Principal.
Sakura-san, Tateishi-san and her friends appear to be waiting for you.
Oh, I forgot!
Thank goodness.
So, you got Kaji-kun to understand?
Yeah. I know that you're a real witch...
and that Rio the cat can transform into a human.
Come on, Rio.
And now I know that Tateishi was acting funny yesterday...
because of Orihara's magic.
The love was sucked out of her heart by the magic flower...
but it's okay now.
She's back to her old Kaji-kun adoring self!
Good.
We get it already.
Oh, yeah! Would you guys like to stop by my house?
I'll show you something neat!
Something neat?
Just wait, and you'll see.
- What the heck is it? - What is it?
- I can't wait. - Now it's bugging me.
I'm home!
- Pardon the intrusion! - Pardon the intrusion!
Oh, my. You told them everything?
- Yes. - Yes.
Like about my husband being from the Magic Kingdom...
even though I'm a human?
- Yes. - Yes.
And about Nina collecting the holy stones?
- Yes. - Yes.
And also that she might be marrying the Prince of the Magic Kingdom?
- Yes. Uh, no! - Yes. Uh, no!
She never mentioned anything like that!
Oh, dear. Really?
She spilled it.
Uh-oh. Maybe I shouldn't have!
It's okay, Mama.
Nina, is what she just said true?
Sort of. I was just about to tell you about it.
Let's see... Where was the tea again?
These are picture postcards from the Magic Kingdom.
But there's no pictures on them, right?
Yeah.
Ayu-chan, try opening one.
Sure.
This is the central district of the Magic Kingdom.
This is the castle...
and I guess my house is over here-ish.
- Incredible! - It's so pretty!
Let's try opening one of these, too.
Wow, what a pretty castle!
It has an unusual 3-D effect.
It's like there really is a castle right in front of us.
This is the inside of the castle.
Wow...
It's like a scene out of a movie.
Can ordinary people enter the castle?
Yeah. They hold balls in the main hall...
several times a year-- like on the King's birthday.
Really?
I've also been there once with my mother, father...
and grandfather when I was little.
What's this? It looks a little different from the others.
Oh, that's a notice that was delivered to me from the castle.
It looks like it has some sort of switch on it.
Press it.
Ahem! It is my proud privilege on this fine day...
to give you these happy tidings...
I'll fast-forward that.
Miss Nina Saqurail of the Saqurail Family has been selected...
as a candidate for bride of His Highness the prince.
You are entrusted with the task of collecting all five holy stones...
passed along for generations in the royal family and to attend the ball.
These are the vital conditions, so be certain not to forget them.
Furthermore, this matter has been kept top secret--
Anyway, that about sums it up!
What's this?
Oh! This is the prince.
He's really good-looking...
and he's the admiration of all the girls in the land.
Wow, really? That's wonderful!
You can't see his face that well.
Yeah. He is a prince after all...
so he doesn't hang around normal people that much.
Then you can't really tell if he's good-looking or not, right?
Yeah!
What's this? Are you guys trying to size him up?
- Hardly. - Hardly.
That's so neat. It's just like a fairy tale.
That would appeal to any girl.
Do you mean you're going to marry this prince?
It's not like I know that for sure yet. I'm just one of the candidates.
But why did you keep it a secret until now?
That's because, you know...
Oh, I see! You couldn't say you were gonna marry royalty...
because it was too embarrassing.
Yeah, that's it!
Don't be such a stranger.
I'm sorry, Ayu-chan.
Thanks for having us over!
Sure, come again!
Give it your best, Sakura!
Yeah, Sakura. At first, I was too surprised to make sense of it...
but it's incredible to be a candidate to marry into royalty!
- Good luck! - Sure...
You already got three of the stones, right? You'll win hands-down!
W -We'll see.
We'll back you up all the way!
- Right, Tateishi? - Yeah.
- Well, see you later. - Thanks for the tea!
- Bye. - Yeah. Bye-bye!
See you tomorrow!
That's a shocker.
Yuta!
I never imagined you would get this far.
You just might win hands-down as they said.
Yeah. I'm having trouble believing it myself.
Your magic powers have a large boost now that you have three of them.
It's only a matter of time before you get the last stone.
You think so?
Are you sure that's what you want?
Yeah!
Really?
Of course! That's why I came to this world.
Ooh, I'm hungry!
Mama, what's for supper tonight?
Nina...
She's doing it again.
And she just failed yesterday, too.
No...
Uh, I meant...
There is only one stone left. If I can just get it...
I will still have a chance to turn the tables.
She's not acting like herself!
Hey, good morning.
Yuta-kun!
I hear you finally got your man. Congratulations.
What do you want? Did you come here specifically to say that?
I thought I'd give you something nice for a celebration present. Here.
There are two pair tickets in it.
Pair tickets?
One is for you and Kaji. And the other...
He did?
Yeah. He said to give this to you.
Really? That's funny. I wonder why he gave you this?
You know, yesterday he showed up and left again just like that.
Oh, I get it! Is it because he missed you?
Huh? No...
He gave me one, too. He said to go with Kaji-kun.
With Kaji-kun?
Yuta must be really hurting.
Yeah. He's really hurting, Nina.
Listen, do you know about, uh...
Nina being a candidate to marry the prince?
Yeah. I've known about it for ages.
It must really hurt, Yuta-kun.
Not really. It's not a big deal.
I gave up on her ages ago.
Ayu-chan?
Um, and he said to go ahead and invite someone you like.
Someone I like?
He says we're going to take a magic aircraft on a flight...
through the night sky. Isn't that amazing?
Wow, that's neat.
But why did he give me one, too?
A ticket for you and Kaji-kun would have been enough.
Yeah, but since you do have a ticket...
why don't you invite someone? How about Tsujiai-kun?
Yeah.
I'm sorry to drop in unannounced.
That's quite all right. So, what brings you here today?
Nina Saqurail and Maya Orphelia.
I wanted to ask how they were adapting to life in this world.
A-ha, which would mean you are...
So, that's why you're here.
I'm sorry, Tsujiai-kun.
It's a pair ticket of all things. There was no one else I could ask.
Was it a nuisance?
Not really. A night flight sounds fun!
Yeah!
So, should we do it, Sakura?
Yeah.
He said we have to face the sky and tear off the ticket stubs.
Okay.
This is wonderful!
Wow, amazing!
That one's wonderful, too!
All right, let's head out!
- Okay! - Uh, Nina?
You should do lots of talking with Tsujiai-kun.
Take advantage of Yuta-kun's present.
Hey, Sakura! What are you doing? Hurry up and get in.
Uh, right.
The place we just left already looks tiny!
I think it's programmed with a sight-seeing course.
It looks like we're on a different route.
Wow! We're already really far away from them!
Hey! Ahoy there, Ayu-chan!
Maybe they're heading for the mountains?
Then maybe we're heading for the sea?
Yeah. Looks like it.
This is cool. I'm getting excited!
Ooh, what an incredible view!
Hey, isn't that the school? That's the station...
so I guess my house is over there.
Amazing. Being able to experience this is like a dream!
Right, Sakura?
I was really lucky that you were a witch.
I really lucked out!
Yeah!
Oh, I can see Bayside Park now!
I remember the day we had the flea market there.
Yeah.
And the fireworks and swimming...
We sure went to a lot of places last summer, huh?
Yeah, that's true.
It sure would be fun to go again... as a group.
Yeah.
I went to the trouble of giving them private seating...
and they're wasting it.
What the heck?
Ooh, is it a malfunction?
Does magic malfunction?
I don't know!
Um...
Um, well...
- Not again! - I'll fall!
A -Are you okay?
Yeah, for now!
Can't you do anything about it?
That's easy for you to say.
Oh, I know! I have an instant teleportation spell!
Yeah, use that!
Hold on, I'll load it up.
M -Make it quick.
Wait a sec. It's difficult to type one-handed.
I did it!
You transform every single time.
Sort of. I have an instant teleportation spell, don't I?
Yes. It is a spell that can work from incantation alone...
although it's rather advanced.
It's all right. I'll take it!
Where do you want to go?
Anywhere! As long as we can touch the ground, I'll be happy!
I understand.
Hurry it up!
Preparations complete!
Practice!
Wh-Where are we?
Apparently, we are on top of Mount Everest.
I meant somewhere more normal!
C -C -Can't press the keys...
Keep trying, Sakura!
Oh, brother. How bad do you have to screw up to get here?
Okay!
Not bad, Nina!
Thank goodness! Things are back to normal.
I feel like I've traveled a long way in a very short time.
Yeah.
It was really fun. And it's thanks to you.
Really?
But I'm so sloppy...
and my magic never improves.
It'll improve before long.
You think so?
Sure.
Yeah.
I've never seen the ocean look this pretty.
Is there anybody you like, Tsujiai-kun?
Just wondering!
Let me think. I hadn't really given it much thought, but...
Oh.
Hey, you're gonna become a princess, right?
I don't know that for sure yet.
There are six other candidates.
I know you'll do fine. You'll be princess for sure.
I wonder.
And if you do become princess...
invite me over to the Magic Kingdom.
I wanna go see it.
You know, have all three of us over.
It'd be okay, right?
Is it a no-go?
- All right, I'll do it! - You mean it?
Sure! I'll do my best to become princess!
Right on! Keep your word!
This is good enough.
That sure was fun!
- Yeah! - How was your trip?
Totally awesome!
After all, we went all the way to Mount Everest!
You liar!
It's true!
How did it go?
Did you talk with him for real?
I know how you feel about him.
Y -Yeah.
You know, if you like Tsujiai-kun...
I've made up my mind.
I'm going to be princess!
- Are you sure? - Uh-huh.
Sure, I kind of thought that Tsujiai-kun was nice in that way...
but maybe I would have picked anybody.
I picked him because he happened to be nearby.
That's all.
Once I'm back in the Magic Kingdom...
I think I'll be able to forget about him. It's all right!
Yeah.
- Well, see you. - Right.
Please stop that!
It's ridiculous for you to walk around alone!
If anything should happen to you, I would be held responsible.
It's all right. I don't stand out looking like this...
and no one realized it was me.
I think you stand out plenty.
How long will you be staying in this world?
It's interesting here. I like it.
I'll be staying a little while longer.
I had a dream of you
I saw your lonely-looking tears
Before I knew it, I was changed into you
To cry the same tears
I find myself wanting you, but afraid you don't love me
Afraid of how it will end
As you do to me, I do to you
And I start taking everything from you
I find myself wanting you, but afraid you don't love me
I want to believe in our future
As you do to me, I do to you
On the night we started to protect each other secretly
This time there's gonna be a costume party!
A Tyrannosaurus, a baby chicken, and a Sentai hero are gonna be in this one!
But what you and I will dress up as is still a secret.
Wow, that Zorro is really cool!
Who is he? Who is he?
He isn't Kaji-kun or Tsujiai-kun, so is it Kawanakajima-kun?
Yeah, as if.
Actually, I'm worried because I don't see Maya-chan anywhere.
Episode 24 of Ultramaniac is "X-Day."
Please reach his heart.
Practice.
