Tama-chan... Hello, Tama-chan.
Magic wands are important partners to us magicians.
They come in various shapes and personalities.
One of the more distinctive ones belongs to...
the Divination Club's president, Takamine-senpai.
Tama-chan!
Good morning!
Good morning, everyone!
Good morning, Koyuki-san.
Hey, hey, is this a relative of Tama-chan's or something?
Magical Arts Exhibition
~ Revival of the Legendary Ancient Sphere-Tom ~
It's just your imagination. The name is completely different.
That's my ancestor!
Tama-chan's official name is Sphere-Tom.
It's an ancient and prestigious lineage among magic wands.
So I was right after all.
That's correct. I'm prestigious!
Well then, my class is that way.
See you later!
Just what I'd expect of the Divination Club's president.
She has such a prestigious wand.
I'm sure the other members must also be...
Speaking of the Divination Club...
If I remember correctly, Koyuki-san is the only member.
Eh? Is that so?
Tama-chan
has
Disappeared
What?
Are you joining...
...the Divination Club...
...Sumomo-chan?
Yes.
Let's join together.
Us, too?
Isn't it more fun if everyone's together?
Well, that's true, but...
So, please join! Please, just give it a try. Please?
Her skills at persuasion are just like Mum's.
Well then, let's go to the Divination Club's meeting room.
Okay.
Welcome!
New Club Members

New Club Members
Welcome!
New Club Members
Welcome, our new club members!
What?
Takamine-senpai, how did you...
Somehow, I just had a feeling.
This way, please.
Is it true that you're the only member?
No, there are others.
Oh, is that so?
The others are ghost members though.
Note: "Ghost members" usually means members who do not attend club meetings.
Well, I guess I'll take this opportunity to introduce them.
Starting from the left are Hanako-san, Kunitarou-kun, Gonzaemon-san...
Sumomo!
Aren't these real ghosts!?
Let's make Tama-chan!!
Today's club activity will be making Tama-chans.
As new club members, you will assist in making Tama-chans.
Tama-chans can be made?
Yeah, they are carefully made by hand, one at a time.
They wait for their turns here.
Created by using a mix of secret ingredients,
the substance used to create Tama-chans sets for a week.
If we split and knead this to the right size,
we can make Tama-chans.
The resulting Tama-chan may be good or bad depending on the kneading.
Please put your feelings into it, and knead with care.
Put our feelings into it...
With care...
Hello there, I'll be in your care.
One knead for Tama-chan's sake.
Go.
One knead for Tama-chan's sake.
It's going well. It's going well.
Today we knead for Tama-chan's sake.
It's going well.
I think we're almost done. Now then...
I will infuse these Tama-chans with souls.
El amrite miza ein lusval carna de debris!
Yo! Ain't today a nice day?
The Tama-chan I made is talking!
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, it's so amazing!
Thank you for kneading me.
M-My pleasure.
You didn't put enough strength into your hips.
Your kneading method was all wrong!
This one has an exceptionally bad attitude.
And you call yourself a magician?
Are you looking for a fight?
You're nothing but a magic wand spare part!
Spare part? Now you've gone too far!
This is bad.
Wh-What's it doing?
Tama-chan, go!
Roger, Nee-san!
That was quite dangerous.
Are you all right, Anri-chan?
When a Tama-chan turns red,
it's a warning that it's about to explode.
We were really close to being blown apart, along with this room.
Tama-chans are surprisingly dangerous, aren't they?
No, I've made many Tama-chans,
and that's never happened before.
Many? How many exactly?
I've made one thousand, exactly.
A thousand?
That many?
Amazing! This calls for a Tama-chan celebration.
Yeah, let's have a party!
The One Thousandth Tama-chan Party!
I agree!
I see. So that's how Takamine-senpai has been making Tama-chans.
One by one, using her feelings, huh?
It sounds like a tough job, but she's been doing it for years.
A magic wand is an important partner in your development as a magician.
Please recite your incantations with all your feelings.
That's why I have asked you all to bring your most treasured items.
May you all find your wonderful partners.
El amdalt le wands le elitia cainos!
Nice to meet you, Haruhi.
Did I manage to put in all my feelings?
Don't worry, Haruhi.
Your feelings are here with me.
Thank you, Soprano.
A magic wand, huh.
Pleased to meet you, Anri-sama.
Why does it sound like an old man?
Honestly speaking, I thought I had failed at first.
But now I'm glad it was you.
Thank you very much, Anri-sama.
Huh?
When the need arises, you're edible, too.
Anri-sama, please don't eat too much.
Be quiet! You'll grow back anyway.
Y-Yes.
When I was born, was she that happy, too?
The thousandth one, huh.
You're nothing but a magic wand spare part!
Nee-san, you probably don't remember my number, do you?
Nee-san, please forgive my selfishness for a while.

Tama-chan?
Excuse me...
Takamine-senpai.
Have you seen Tama-chan?
No, we haven't.
Koyuki-san, did something happen to Tama-chan?
I haven't been able to find him since this morning.
Wasn't he the one that saved us yesterday?
Don't tell me he ran away from home?
Uh, why would he do that?
Was he unhappy about something?
Unhappy, huh.
Tama-chan?
Anyone would be if they'd worked so hard.
Oh, but aren't there plenty of replacements?
If I did that, there wouldn't be a place for that child to return to.
Takamine-senpai...
We'll help you look for Tama-chan.
Yeah, let's look together.
He did save us yesterday.
Leave it to Takamizo Hachisuke!
Please let us help, too.
Everyone...
Magical Arts Exhibition
~ Revival of the Legendary Ancient Sphere-Tom ~
What's this? Wasn't my ancestor supposed to be the main event?
All right.
I'll search around the station.
Me, too.
Then I'll go, too!
Now, now, you're coming with me.
What?
These are dowsing rods.
They'll help us search for Tama-chan.
Well then, let's begin.
Tama-chan!
Hey, Tama-chan!
Magical Arts Exhibition
~ Revival of the Legendary Ancient Sphere-Tom ~
Don't tell me...
The Magical Arts Exhibition?
Yeah, after Sumomo showed him the flyer for the exhibition yesterday, he looked very happy.
That's why I think that he might be...
...at the exhibition!
It looks like Goinkyo-san can't go on any longer.
Ogin-san looks like she's reached her limit, too.
Well, looks like that's enough for the dowsing rods.
But we should be quite close to Tama-chan by now.
Tama-chan.
Eh?
There he is!
Wh-What, what?
Hey, do you guys know what my number is?
That...
We have no idea.
I'm number 984.
But no one knows that.
Probably not even Nee-san.
Tama-chan! Go!
Once she says "Go," I'll be gone.
Roger!
I'm just one of many, easily forgotten.
When I think about that, I feel insignificant.
Is that why you ran away from home?
I thought I'd come here to seek advice from my ancestor,
who has lived for tens of thousands of generations.
Tama-chan...
The ancient Sphere-Tom will be recreated on stage soon.
Please proceed to the level one special viewing room.
Let's go, Tama-chan.
The creation of this ancient Sphere-Tom is a rare skill passed down only to a selected few magicians.
I think he's almost...
Uh, almost...
It's almost done.
El amrite cedo einrir... um... sefersias...
Eh?
Something doesn't look right.
Huh?
What's wrong, Sensei?
Everything should be fine according to this ancient text, but...
G-Gosenzo-sama!
Note: Gosenzo means Ancestor.
That's an ancient Sphere-Tom?
This can't be right.
The kneading was wrong!
That reminds me of what Takamine-senpai said.
Tama-chan may be good or bad depending on the kneading.
Sensei, please evacuate.
Gosenzo-sama, please stop!
Please listen to me!
How can we stop it now?
That's what you get for trying to attract customers with magic.
Wh-What's that thing?
Gosenzo-sama! Please stop!
Tama-chan!
My powers aren't enough, Nee-san.
Something's happening over there.
Tama-chan...
K-Koyuki-san?
What? That's...
It's a failure.
A failed Tama-chan.
Stop it, Gosenzo-sama!
Sphere-Toms are not supposed to cause harm!
Tama-chan!
Nee-san...
Wait, Tama-chan!
Why don't you leave me alone?
I'm just one of many forgotten numbers.
I haven't forgotten. You're number 984, right?
Nee-san, what did you just say?
You are the 984th Tama-chan.
I can tell just by looking at you.
And not just you. I remember every one of you.
The 21st Tama-chan was full of ambition.
The 68th Tama-chan was a little headstrong.
The 189th Tama-chan always tried very hard.
The 277th Tama-chan was very polite but somewhat lonely.
No way. It can't be.
You remember each and every one of the thousand you've made.
Of course I do.
Each of you was created one at a time, with all my feelings.
Nee-san...
That's right. I should have known. What was I thinking?
Wait, that's...
I-It's going to explode!
Takamine-senpai, it's going to...
Nee-san, please use me!
Tama-chan!
We don't have time to waste.
Sphere-Tom number 984 will protect all of you, no matter what!
Tama-chan...
Well then, Tama-chan, let's go.
Roger, Nee-san!
Tama-chan, go!
Aye aye, sir!
T-Tama-chan?
Good-bye, 984th Tama-chan.
Takamine-senpai...
Eh? You're all quitting the Divination Club?
Why?
Do you really have to ask?
Receiving messages every morning telling all our misfortunes in detail for the day.
Being forced to participate in Tama-chan firing exercises.
We can't stand it any more. Sorry, Sumomo-chan.
B-But, if everyone quits, the Divination Club will fall apart!
The Divination Club will fall apart?
Sumomo-chan, didn't you know?
About what?
Takamine-senpai is the daughter of Takamine Yuzuha, the chairman of the school's board.
After entering this school, Takamine-senpai created the Divination Club on her own.
That's why there's no fear that it will fall apart, even with just one member.
Eh? S-So that's why...
But even so, won't she be lonely in that room?
I have an idea!
I see it! Your lucky item is a manjuu.
Note: Manjuu are steamed yeast buns with fillings.
Thank you very much!
I see.
She won't be alone in the clubroom if she tells fortunes in Oasis.
As I'd expect of Hime-chan!
Oh, it's nothing.
Right now, Takamine-senpai's fortune-telling corner is very popular in Mizuhosaka Academy.
NEXT EPISODE
Today, I'm going to read the comments for the next episode without hesitating.
This is Kamisaka Haruhi.
Note: She says kaidan, which can mean a ghost story.
The next episode is a trademark feature of every high school anime: a ghost story.
I think it's one of those events where famous people come to give talks and...
Note: Kaidan can also mean conference.
Note: It can mean stairs as well.
Okay, maybe it's the thing that allows you to go from one floor to another?
All right, I know that's not it either.
I know, but I just can't handle ghost stories!
A Beautiful Girl at Midnight
"A Beautiful Girl at Midnight."
It's probably a scary story.
