They say that the Nine Olde Witches
sealed the Grand Triskellion in the Forest of Arcturus.
To unseal it, you need the Seven Words
and a wand with seven stars.
Day seven of our early morning lessons!
-Are you ready, Akko? -Yes!
A monkey!
Metamorphie Faciesse!
Not too bad.
Next, an elephant!
Metamorphie Faciesse!
Okay. That's good.
Hey!
Oh, my!
Hey! Don't come near me!
Professor Ursula, thank you so much as always.
I think it was perfect until halfway through.
Sure.
I'm going to keep practicing,
and when I've mastered transformation magic,
I will become a Moonlit Witch like Chariot!
Chariot was chosen as the Moonlit Witch at Luna Nova's Samhain Festival.
The Moonlit Witch...
The most exemplary witch is crowned with that honor!
I heard Chariot was chosen for her miraculous transformation magic.
I thought you'd know that, Professor Ursula.
You're right!
That's correct! Yes, yes.
Hey, the festival is coming up soon!
I'm going to practice very hard so I can be like Chariot!
Now, what should I transform into tomorrow?
Akko has revived the first word.
Now she has revived two.
There are a total of seven words.
Revive the rest of them.
Chariot, you must help her.
I'm gonna be the Moonlit Witch!
Extra! Extra!
The list of the witches attending the festival has been released!
Miss Marjolaine, the rock star?
Minister Dorlin of the East Mogiana Republic!
Madame Ural, too! What an amazing lineup!
Madame Ural is a Nobel Prize-winning authority on magic novels.
Witches from all over the world!
I'm so excited! I can't wait for the festival!
Does Akko know?
I can't tell her now.
I can't wait to see the worldly witches!
On October 31,
we will celebrate the Samhain Festival,
which has been our school's tradition for 1,600 years.
It's a perfect time to show the ability of Luna Nova students to our alumni!
Students will be divided into teams to work on their presentations.
This is from the last festival.
Boiling of toads for enchantments.
Memorizing 10,000 incantations.
The ancient dark dance.
A full course medieval magic dinner.
-Seriously? -Is the festival really this lame?
And at the end of the festival,
the most talented witch will be chosen out of all the students,
and crowned the Moonlit Witch.
The Moonlit Witch, just like Chariot.
Now, each one of you will be assigned a duty at the festival.
Team leaders, please come forward and draw fairy lots.
-Who's going to draw? -It's gotta be Akko.
No! I have such a bad luck with these things!
Me, too.
Hi! You are in charge of the fireworks!
Fireworks magic?
-You are so lucky! -Oh, man, they got that one.
You are in charge of the decorations!
I guess that's all right.
You are in charge of summoning magic!
Summoning magic? It's the highlight of the festival!
You are in charge of cleaning!
-Gross! -Cleaning?
The rest of the team leaders, come forward, quickly!
We have to decide!
-It's gotta be Akko. -I can't!
The leader of the team over there, come forward now!
-Sucy! No, it's Lotte! -Right now!
Akko!
Let's see...
This one?
Wait, I don't feel good about that one. Or--
Hurry up and pick, or I'll tear out your fingernails!
Fine! There!
You get sacrifice duty.
Sacrifice duty?
What is that?
For those in charge of the sacrifice...
This vase contains an old ghost, Vajarois the Grieving.
Vajarois the Grieving?
Vajarois will wake at the stroke of midnight
and go on a wailing rampage.
-That's why we make a sacrifice. -What?
Once Vajarois eats the sacrifice,
it will go back to sleep until the next Samhain Festival.
Are we going to die?
There is no danger to your life.
The sacrifice passes through the ghost's body.
No way!
That's hilarious! Sacrifice duty!
There's nothing more perfect for Akko!
Be quiet!
It's time to take the festival seriously.
If you want to chat, do it later.
That's right.
And Diana Cavendish,
after a vote was cast the other day,
you were chosen as Luna Nova's youngest ever
Samhain Festival executive committee chairman.
-Amazing, Diana! -Way to go, Diana!
Everyone, let's do our best to help Diana make this festival a great success!
Yes!
Sacrifice duty? What the heck?
I thought the festival was supposed to be a fun event.
The ritual where the ghost eats the sacrifice... What's with that?
"Vajarois the Grieving was a member
of the royal family of the Book Kingdom back around 200 B.C.
She was surrounded by good friends and had a happy life.
But after losing her friends in her later years,
Vajarois cried over how sad the world had become,
and became the grieving ghost."
That's the only reason?
She cries even while sleeping,
which is why she gets so hungry and has to eat the sacrifice.
Do you want some?
Hey, Vajarois!
This is all because you are such a crybaby!
Jeez! I'm the one who wants to cry!
I've been practicing so hard so I can be the Moonlit Witch like Chariot!
You mean, you want to be chosen as the Moonlit Witch?
That might be difficult.
I bet Diana will be the Moonlit Witch.
I think so, too.
Right?
How can you guys say that?
I mean, she comes from a prestigious witch family.
She was born with so many talents.
So you don't want to be the Moonlit Witch, Lotte?
I'm only here to learn magic so I can take over the magic tools store.
What about you, Sucy?
I'm actually excited about passing through a ghost's body.
Unbelievable.
Jeez!
-This is unbelievable. -Right?
Not that.
You can't even fly a broom,
but you're dreaming of being the Moonlit Witch? Unbelievable.
-That's true. -I guess.
It can't be helped.
It was a lottery.
You were just getting ahead of yourself.
It suits you perfectly.
Well, then, let's have the sacrifice team meeting now--
You guys are awful!
We're in charge of the mirror for the festival.
That's what we wanted to talk to you about, Diana.
We gathered all the mirrors we can find, but we're not sure which one to pick.
So we want you to pick the best one for us.
Of course.
Out of all these...
Let's see. This one has the strongest magic.
But it seems to love pranks.
If you polish it with fairy powder, you can keep it under control.
Really?
I'll talk to the professors. We can go get it together.
Thank you, Diana!
No wonder you're the executive committee chairman!
We can count on you!
You will definitely be the Moonlit Witch!
Thank you.
But we still don't know who will be picked as the Moonlit Witch.
That was close!
Wait. Why do I need to hide?
Don't be so stubborn.
You wish you were born with many talents, don't you?
Like this.
Seriously?
Diana?
-Oh, Diana. -Crap!
This schedule you've made for the festival is impressive.
Let's discuss the details.
Well...
-My stomach... -Are you all right?
Will you... Will you excuse me for a moment?
How did this happen?
Diana!
We've got a problem.
We can't figure out how to read this summoning spell.
It's this page.
Can you tell us, please?
Diana?
This is terrible.
Since you both saw this spell, you are already under the curse!
-What? -A curse?
You will become 82 years old within 24 hours if you don't do anything.
-Eighty... -Two?
No!
Please help us, Diana!
Put both hands on top of your head.
Like this?
That's right! And now I'm going to...
write a spell on you to release the curse.
This is it!
If you leave it on until tomorrow morning, the curse will be broken.
-Until tomorrow morning? -Okay!
Now, I have other things to do.
-Thank you, Diana! -You saved us!
Oh, crap...
Oh, Miss Diana, sorry about that.
I just finished cleaning your room.
Oh, right. Diana's room is down the hall.
Miss Diana.
Aren't you heading to your room?
Oh, that's right. I'm heading to my room right now!
That was close.
So this is Diana's room.
I guess it's not very nice to go into someone else's room.
-Miss Diana. -Crap!
I forgot to mention earlier.
Your friend stopped by while I was cleaning.
-I see. Thank you for letting me know. -Goodbye now.
Thank you so much.
Jeez, what the heck?
This is amazing!
Is this Diana's diary?
No, no! I can't read it!
Diana!
-I heard a voice inside. -She must be back.
We're coming in!
Diana!
We need your advice!
What kind of advice do you need?
This is the welcoming artwork for the festival.
We were able to bring the statue of the Great Witch, Jennifer,
but the professors want us to change her pose.
We want to use the giving-life magic, but it's too hard for us.
You're the only one who can help us.
Of course you can count on me!
There is nothing I can't do!
Thank you, Diana!
Stay back, everyone!
I can do this.
I've been practicing the transformation magic so much!
So this should be...
Ansolew Airo!
Ansolew Airo! Ansolew Airo!
What happened, Diana?
Are you not feeling well?
Isn't it the wrong spell?
Well...
Ansolew Airo!
Akko!
I'm back?
I can explain.
I bet it's because of that mirror.
Diana?
By the way,
I just had a meeting with Lotte and Sucy about your sacrifice duty.
You forgot, didn't you? How irresponsible!
I'm sorry.
I was just so disappointed about having to do the sacrifice duty.
So that's why you played a prank?
You get mad and lose interest as soon as things don't go your way.
You want to be like Chariot,
but you know nothing of the history or tradition of magic.
You have no right to study here!
I have what it takes!
I'm serious about wanting to be like Chariot.
Serious? You?
I'll prove it.
My passion for magic is stronger than anyone here!
I, Atsuko Kagari, will be chosen as the Moonlit Witch at the Samhain Festival!
-What was that? -No idea.
Diana is amazing.
Long ago, the world was filled with the power of good magic.
Now, however, the power of magic continues to decline.
By finding the Grand Triskellion,
I want to contribute to the revival of magic.
Compared to her, I'm such a...
I hear you declared in front of everyone that you will be the Moonlit Witch?
Professor Ursula.
I just blurted it out in the moment,
even though I know I have zero chance.
Zero?
I hate to admit it, but they are right.
Diana is amazing.
She's mature beyond my imagination.
She's someone I can't even reach.
Compared to her, I'm still such a child.
Yes, you have a tendency to not consider the consequences,
but that's something you can work on.
But I would imagine
that Chariot also made many mistakes and felt down sometimes.
I wonder what Chariot would do?
The Big Dipper is so beautiful.
Beyond that twinkles the North Star, Polaris.
Professor Ursula?
If Chariot was here, she might say something like this.
"Don't compare yourself to anyone else. There are some things only you can do."
Please take care of it.
Yes.
-Professor Ursula-- -Well, good night!
Something only I can do...
This is...
It's the same place from before,
the Fountain of Polaris.
Please tell me! What is something only I can do?
Chariot!
You're here!
What's with that outfit? It's so old and dirty!
This must be a vision of someone who once knew Chariot.
Oh, jeez.
-Chariot is having so much fun! -Watch this! When I chant,
I get so much energy!
Arae Aryrha!
Oh, no! My head is spinning!
Jeez. Come on.
Arae Aryrha!
Open the mind!
Chariot is amazing!
Let's laugh together!
Arae Aryrha!
Maybe Chariot wasn't practicing her magic just to be the Moonlit Witch.
Maybe it was for a simpler...
Arae Aryrha.
Wait. It's a spell?
This is...
I got it! I know what I can do!
