Listen up!
There are several rules when you go outside Luna Nova.
I can't wait!
Let's go eat pies, cakes, and parfaits!
All you think about is food, Akko!
-Miss Kagari! -Yes!
First, abstain from any activity that would hurt the reputation of Luna Nova.
Second, do not use magic.
You are not in a position to take responsibility if the magic fails.
-Professor Finnelan? -Principal!
Take a look at this! I bought this boot through mail order!
You can even wear it like a hat!
-Please, be quiet! -No need to be so serious.
Look at them.
They look like they've been standing there for the last two centuries!
Poor things.
-Principal! -Hey.
Look at this, Professor Ursula!
Why don't you try it on? It'll look great on you.
Now, everyone, have you all brought an item to use as an amulet?
Yes!
I forgot.
I guess this will do!
No, no, no. You can't use that.
Principal!
An amulet must carry emotional value.
It's a charm to get you home safely.
You leave it in the place you call home.
This is mine, by the way.
A staff?
You leave something that makes you want to come back for it.
Now then, girls. Show me what you've prepared.
Don't you have something you never let go of?
What?
Oh, no!
-So, where are we? -Isn't it obvious?
You said we were going to the city!
I only followed you because you said this was a shortcut!
This mushroom…
This kind can only be found growing in cemeteries.
They are called Amanita cimeterium.
What's up with that? That sounds gross.
-It's so creepy. Maybe we'll see a ghost. -A ghost?
Ouch.
Shoot!
What are we going to do? We might get cursed!
Cursed?
I mean, don't you feel like that could happen here?
Hey! I've got it!
A repairing magic potion!
I should be able to use it because Professor Ursula taught me how.
You can't! We were told not to use magic outside the school.
Nobody will find out if we use it here.
But what if something happens?
-You worry too much, Lotte! -But, Akko…
All right, let's do this!
Sosomme Tidiare!
-What did you do, Sucy? -This is all your fault.
That didn't fix the gravestones at all.
Huh?
Akko!
-A corpse. -It's a curse!
A curse? No way! There is no one quicker than me!
That scum won't even see me coming!
That hateful foolish coward!
What the…
You're witches, I see.
This is wonderful! Witches resurrected me!
-Who are you? -Who am I? Me? I am...
Who am I?
Who was I when I was alive? I can't remember that!
No time to worry about that now! It's enough that I got my life back!
How about my body? I've got two arms, two legs, and a head.
I don't have my hat! Where's my hat?
There it is.
I'm going to slice him up like this tombstone!
It's time for revenge!
What just happened?
-Are you okay with that? -Huh?
Just letting him go?
No!
How did this happen?
Your magic combined with Sucy's mushroom and it resurrected that dead man!
So I actually resurrected the dead? That's not good at all!
Foraen Mugrowna!
Get him!
-It's no use. My battery ran out. -Oh, no!
Why didn't you run with us, Sucy?
I figured we could just leave him be.
The mushroom's effect should wear off by sundown.
Really?
But he could attack someone before then.
What's the punishment for resurrecting the dead?
Is it the most agonizing and scary thing you can imagine?
It'll be one hundred times more terrible than that.
No, no, no, no, no! What are we going to do?
We have to capture him quickly!
He's fast for a dead man.
Over there!
-Is that you? Is that you? -Is that him?
Is that you? Is that you?
-We must stop him! -Is that you?
No!
What do you think you're doing?
Hey, it's you young witches!
Don't get in my way! He might be the man I'm looking for!
"Might"? You don't even know who you're looking for?
I will recognize him once I see him. Hey, is that him?
-Hold it right there! -Stop!
-That almost killed me! -You're already dead!
Please go back to your grave!
If they find out about you, we will be in so much trouble!
Revenge is more important!
We resurrected you, remember? The least you do is listen to us!
Akko!
Do something about this.
-This is a part of our performance! -What?
It was all part of our act!
-Everyone, gather round! -Hey, Akko!
What you see here is a miracle witnessed only once a millennium!
A medieval knight, resurrected from the dead,
back to strike down his sworn enemy!
And to your right, a witch!
She came to release this man from his curse!
Want to hear more of this amazing tale?
Please show your support by putting whatever you can into this hat!
Thank you, everyone! Thank you so much!
Hey, wait. Where did he go?
Where is he?
Of course, if you're looking for trash, you look in the garbage bin!
How come I didn't realize that before?
Hey, what are you doing?
Stop that!
Officers! Wait! It's not what you think!
-Then what exactly is it then? -He looks very suspicious.
-He's rummaging through the trash. -Citizens will get scared!
That's true, of course, but…
-Come here, you! -Get in the car!
"You"? Learn some respect!
You need to be quiet!
-Drop your weapon! -Let her go, you!
-There you go again-- -Seriously, just shut up!
-You're under arrest! -Please, wait!
My grandpa is a pirate!
A legendary pirate!
Whenever he sees a box, he has to check if there are any treasures inside.
That's what he believes!
-Fine, we got it. -So, he's your grandpa, right?
-Yes. -You must get him to stop doing that.
-Do you understand? -Yes.
-Take care of him. -Yes!
They're finally gone.
-Where did he go? -Sucy's gone, too!
Over there!
That's got to be him!
-Well done! -Good job, grandpa!
How dare those guys try to rob this place!
-Hey, Sucy! -So, I see you guys finally made it.
What do you mean by that?
Anyway, this guy is hilarious.
-Do you remember anything? -Not a thing!
I should remember something, but…
They will forget all about this in a few hours.
-Sucy! -Sucy...
I remember! Number Three, Caliban Street!
Not again!
Oh, come on!
Hey! Wait!
-Akko! Watch out! -Young miss!
No way...
Now it'll be easier to take him back to the cemetery.
-He's fixed! -Where's his head?
Over here! Over here!
-Hey! I'm down here! -Got you!
Young miss, are you injured? No? Good then.
-Now excuse me! -Wait! Why did you save me?
-Because you're a witch. -What?
Witches are the symbols of wisdom! The pride of mankind!
Now, I'd better get going. Goodbye!
Wait! What do you mean by that?
I don't have time for this!
I must find the man's house on Caliban Street!
-There it is! -Hey, wait!
-This is his house! -It's definitely not!
-Let's check. -Absolutely not!
Hey there, did you know the people who used to have a house here?
The store over there salvaged everything that remained of it.
The Magic Item Café?
Why here?
That house was from the Magic Golden Age. That's why we took their things.
The Magic Golden Age? What's that?
Don't you pay attention in class?
It was about 200 years ago.
It's the era after the witch hunts until the Industrial Revolution.
There was no machinery back then, so they all relied on magic.
That sounds amazing!
We've already learned this in history class.
I wouldn't mind buying that military uniform from you.
-Hey! This is the man! -What?
This is him! This is his wife and his daughter! His name was…
Number Three, Caliban Street!
That's the address we were just at.
Hey, what's this?
It's from Luna Nova.
"Dear Miranda..."
-Who's Miranda? -This girl!
That's right! She is Miranda! This man cursed this girl!
He was only a human, but he fell in love with a witch and they eloped!
-How romantic! -Not at all!
His wife died shortly after Miranda's birth,
and he promised the family
that he would…
raise her to be a great witch!
Are you all right?
That sound!
Thank you so much!
-Where are those bells? -What?
He was the bell ringer!
This way!
He broke his promise!
After he sent her off to school, he never saw Miranda ever again!
Miranda was all alone!
-That's awful! -That's right!
That's why I can't forgive him! I won't! I'll never forgive him!
What a cute picture!
Seeing someone's idol brings back memories.
About your amulet…
What about it?
Where is the rest of it?
I'm not sure.
I wonder if it still exists.
It could be anywhere after all this time.
That's it for today.
Would you like to take a stroll?
Come out, you wretched toad!
This view really makes you forget about all your worries.
Even about the trouble you're in?
I wonder if they've stopped using this bell.
It's missing that thing inside.
The rod to ring the bell. Hey, look!
Ouch!
That hurt...
-Are you okay, Akko? -That's it!
-That's it! That's it! -Sir?
That's it!
-That's it! That's it! -What's going on?
I'm such a fool!
A stupid, low-life, heartless coward!
The man was me!
What?
The man I hated for so long was myself!
You've got to be kidding!
Miranda was my daughter!
She was always playing up here!
That's why when she was accepted into the school,
I made her a staff from a part of this bell!
I turned it into a magic staff that could double as an amulet.
All of this so she would never feel homesick!
Wait...
But then I went and died.
Here comes the tears!
Those are not tears. They're green.
You scared me!
Our principal! Miranda is our principal!
-I've seen the principal's staff before! -Really?
The staff has the same pattern on it. I'm sure of it!
Let's go to Luna Nova!
But…
I resurrected you! I won't let your death be in vain!
We'll never make it in time.
Yes, we will! We will make it!
I don't believe it.
-Akko, what are you-- -Please!
Sosomme Tidiare!
There she is!
Get out of the way!
I thought I was going to die.
Principal! Well...
Miranda!
Look, Mom, it's Dad.
Or at least his skeleton.
I'm still younger than you, Miranda!
It's hard to tell without the flesh.
You're right.
Listen. Before you die one more time, I want to tell you something.
I have never resented you. Not once.
I focused on my magic, and now I'm the principal here.
Principal?
That's amazing!
See? You kept your promise, Dad.
Rihgulla Bierre!
Unfortunately, it's time.
Yes, I believe it is.
I was able to have a wonderful day, all because of you girls!
Thank you, young witches!
Goodbye. I'll see you again someday!
Blessings upon the future of witches!
He's gone.
I think I might have inhaled a little bit of old man dust.
Sucy...
Miss Kagari, Miss Jansson, Miss Manbavaran.
Not only did you use magic outside the school,
but you also resurrected the dead!
That is unacceptable!
Do you understand what must be done?
As punishment, you'll be fixing all the broken brooms in the equipment room.
That's it?
You are all still in the process of learning.
I expect you to think about what you've done wrong,
and learn from it.
Am I clear?
Yes!
We'll never finish this in our lifetime!
Move your hands instead of your mouth.
I thought she was being kind, but I was wrong!
This sucks! My hands are going to fall off!
I had no idea there were so many broken brooms.
Hey! How about we use restoration magic?
No!
I'm so jealous! I wish I could've lived during the Magic Golden Age!
Wouldn't it be amazing to use magic for everything?
That means that witches had to do everything. Sounds like a pain.
I prefer the present, too.
Even with all this scientific development,
there are still a few things only magic can be used for.
There it is. The honor student view.
You two are so boring!
A world filled with magic would be way more fun!
A world filled with mushrooms would be better.
-Magic is better! -Mushrooms!
-Magic! -Please stop it, you two!
-Mushrooms! -Magic!
