So, this is the Wild Hunt, huh?
That's right.
And those are wild hunters.
They're specialists trained to catch every single ghost in 12 days.
But the goal is to catch this year's ghosts by the end of the year.
Does that mean they're going to be in Blytonbury?
The twelfth night, on the final day.
Can we see them in person?
Sure.
All of the professors plan on going as well.
Wonderful! Yes! I can't wait.
Professor? Is something wrong?
Oh, no. Everything's fine!
That's Constanze's robot.
Hold on!
Hey, wait! You dropped this!
That really hurt.
Is Constanze around?
Hey, Akko.
No, Cons isn't here right now.
I see.
Did you need her for something?
Well...
Guess I kinda... broke Stanbot.
She's gonna be pretty ticked off.
That bot was helping her build her own hunting weapon for the upcoming Wild Hunt.
Why is she building a weapon?
Don't you know? She entered as a participant.
No way! Seriously?
Professor Croix even went out of her way to get the hunting permit for her.
That's so cool!
Hey, watch out.
What is all this?
Constanze!
Sorry.
Forgive me!
I accidentally broke Stanbot.
I'm so sorry!
I swear I didn't mean it!
Please forgive me!
I'll do anything you want to make up for it. I promise!
Wait a sec! Just calm down! I can explain!
You gonna be okay?
That really does sound rough.
To be fair...
help from Akko usually does more harm than good.
What does that mean?
-Hey. -What are you guys doing?
We're helping run errands in place of Stanbot.
It's mostly just moving stuff.
Gimme! I'll do it.
I've decided that I'm going to help her out whether she likes it or not!
Constanze!
I brought these for you!
What's this? It looks cool!
Sorry!
Hey, here you go!
Food time!
Constanze!
Come on, let me out.
I can't help you if I'm stuck in here.
Seriously? You're gonna do everything alone?
'Kay. Jailbreak time!
Metamorphie Faciesse!
Amazing!
So this is what she's been building, huh?
Hey, I was thinking...
we're actually pretty similar, don't you think?
Since childhood, we've obsessed over one thing.
Despite criticism, we press on!
Because we would do anything for our dreams!
Am I right?
Don't be silly.
There's no way you can do everything alone.
Akko. Trouble. Constanze loves alone.
Stanbots? So many.
Go home! Go home!
Hey...
Wait! Hang on.
That was quick.
I really don't think you need to try so hard, Akko.
It's not like Constanze asked for your help in the first place.
How am I supposed to pay her back for breaking Stanbot then?
You'll just cause her unwanted stress by helping.
Excuse me? I would never do that!
Either way, let her do things the way she wants.
It's probably just easier for her to do things alone.
Yo, Akko.
Did you finally give up on trying to help Constanze out or what?
I want this.
Yeah, fat chance.
That right there is an important tool for cooking.
It's not just some toy, ya know?
We can't get any work done with you in the way.
So get out.
Hey!
Have you ever heard of the Wild Hunt?
Here. Orichalcum eggbeater.
You needed this to help build your ship, didn't you?
I talked to the goblin.
He agreed to let us use it until the hunt is over.
And when I told him you were competing, he said...
Really? Cool!
He was excited!
The Barometz trees grow in a sacred place in a forbidden area,
so I cannot simply reveal its location to you.
Understand?
It's not about money.
I assure you, money has nothing to do with it!
Barometz? I know!
It's the tree that bears golden sheep, isn't it?
I've seen it on a Chariot card.
I know where it is!
Leave everything to me!
Hey!
You can't just take it without paying!
Are you crazy?
Didn't you say it had nothing to do with money?
Metamorphie Faciesse!
Here's the Barometz tree.
I'm not talented like you, but I do have my strong suits.
Like my stamina and ability to take action.
We both have things we're good at.
So here's my idea.
Let's take those things and make something awesome!
Working alone is fine and all,
but if we work together, we can do the impossible!
Are these... supplies for the ship?
So basically,
you want me to collect these for you, right?
Okay!
I'll do it!
Let's work hard together! I believe in us!
What are you doing, Akko?
I came up with an idea. I just finished sketching it out.
Show me, show me!
This is not realistic at all. It will not work.
Who even asked you?
I already know I'll never be as good as Constanze.
Are you stupid?
Amateurs are scary.
Sanity is questionable.
-That's so mean! -Go home!
I'm sorry. Did I wake you?
It's weird.
Seeing how talented you are made me feel like anything was possible.
So I started imagining what a giant ultimate magic robot might be like.
Yeah, I know, it's probably impossible... right?
Constanze?
Ghost hunt, huh?
I could never live with myself
if I passed up such an excellent opportunity.
It's today!
The last day of the Wild Hunt is finally here!
This is the spot we heard about!
I think I saw something!
Hey, if you buy my merch tonight,
you just might be able to avoid supernatural happenings during the hunt.
What is all that?
Well, from what I've heard,
a story of a ghost appearing in the wilderness of Blytonbury
suddenly went viral on social media last night.
And it caused occult maniacs to gather here.
Don't they know that regular people can't witness the ghost hunt?
Who'd even go and spread a dumb rumor like that?
Smells like trouble.
I wonder...
Look! They're here.
I can't wait!
I wonder when it's going to appear.
Guess it was just a rumor.
I'm sure it'll happen soon.
You think so?
Was that the wind?
It kinda felt like it.
Okay! Captain!
It's time to set sail!
Bon voyage!
Hey, look!
It's Constanze and Akko!
Constanze, fire!
-Wow. -That's so cool!
Yeah, you got this!
Go.
It got noisy.
Hey! What are those things?
Those are...
Captain! Down there!
What the heck is this?
All right!
Constanze, time to use the you-know-what!
Let's go. Metamor-Formation.
Burning souls converted to magic power...
the Seven Shining Stars of Justice!
Believe in the heart that believes in magic!
Grand Charion, the magical warrior...
is here!
What is that?
That's super lame.
That's so awesome!
We did it! I can't believe my idea really worked!
And you're totally a genius for building it!
Why doesn't it work?
We're out of magic power!
There was so much of it just a bit ago.
Did we use it all up for the transformation?
I've got it!
Attention, all hunters!
The way things are going, the Wild Hunt will be a disaster.
Please... we need your help!
Magic is at 120%! Constanze! Do it!
Grand Charion... Big Wheel!
Miracle Magical Shining Tornado Punch!
This Wild Hunt is awesome!
We did it.
I knew it.
You were the one behind this.
You caused a commotion to experiment with human emotional energy
to gauge the fuel spirit.
Am I right?
What are you planning? Why are you doing all of this?
You'll find out soon enough.
Regardless of what my goal might be,
there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
Is that for me?
She's showing you her gratitude for your help.
Well, you really didn't have to.
This is so cool!
Boring.
Look at me, guys! I'm actually flying on a broom!
I wouldn't call that "flying."
Thank you so much, Constanze!
