Heart rate normal.
Blood pressure normal.
What happened... back there?
Yuuma-kun...
Sumomo!
Sumomo-chan!
It went back!
What was that just now?
The Past
Um, I am Kohinata Sumomo's mother!
As far as medical science can tell, your daughter's body is completely healthy.
I see.
Medical science has nothing to say about demons and things like that, though.
Treatment Room
Yuuma-kun!
Mother.
This again?
Sumomo-chan!
We believe the cause to be magic,
but as of yet, we haven't found a way to deal with it.
What?!
Yuuma-kun!
Wait!
Even if the magic doesn't hurt the magician, it can still make other people unhappy!
That's why... I...
Yuuma-kun...
Yuuma-kun!
The remaining students here on clean-up duty should head home now.
Where did that Yuuma go?
I wonder where Haruhi-chan, Shin'ya-kun, and the rest went.
What are you doing here? More stragglers?
Sensei!
If you're done tidying up, then go home right now.
Uh, but ...
Yuuma- Kohinata-kun and the others...
Oh, in that case, there was a call from Kamisaka earlier,
saying that his younger sister had been hurt somehow and that he'd be heading home.
What? S-Something happened to Sumomo-chan?
What?
She said it wasn't a big deal, so there's no need to worry.
Thank God!
Yuuma is so standoffish, though!
He could've at least told us he was going home.
It's just because he was worried about Sumomo-chan, you know.
What is it?
That's...
Well?
Sorry, Anri-chan.
I gave it my best shot, but...
It was no use, huh?
I think it's an out-of-body experience.
If we could just get in touch with Minagi-sensei...
Why is she stuck on a business trip at a time like this?
Anri-chan...
Doctor?
It's happening again!
Sumomo-chan!
Now listen, any more of this is...
Sumomo-chan! No!
El amnia afuragia...
le refuj...
ademuntoas lument...
caltea mediari amsley
That voice...
Minagi-sensei!
You were supposed to be on a business trip.
When I heard, I came back as quickly as I could.
Suzuri-chan!
Sorry I'm late, Otoha.
"Suzuri-chan"?
"Otoha"?
They seem extremely intimate.
She's saved,
though we weren't the ones who did it.
This is the first step against demons and things like that.
What's wrong is that her soul can easily become separated from her body.
For example, wearing hospital clothes works against her.
What should we do, Suzuri-chan?
You can take Sumomo-chan to where she's most at ease.
Sumomo-chan...
Her room is definitely where she's most at ease, isn't it?
But, as I said before,
Sumomo-chan's soul will become separated from her very easily.
Even this place isn't safe.
I fear that the curse will cause her soul to separate so far that it won't return.
If that happens, then Sumomo-chan will...
No, that's horrible!
Come back, Sumomo-chan!
Otoha! Don't make it worse!
This is the first time I've seen so much uneasiness in the upper body.
The one who did this must have great power.
Yuuma-kun.
Why would you say that?
He can't use magic, right?
Not can't, won't.
If only he'd use his talent, perhaps...
Number one in school.
Maybe even the best in Japan.
Yuuma-kun...
Watarase
Yuuma!
Here's a change of clothes.
Don't worry. They're men's.
I bought them at the convenience store myself.
Yuuma!
Do you want me to rinse your back for you?
Wh-What are you saying?!
Isn't it great that we're both boys?!
Stop!
You're only a boy when it's convenient for you!
Hey, Jun.
At times like this, it's better to leave well enough alone.
Hachi...
So...
Why would you say those things, Sensei?
Do you think it's okay to tell these children?
Yes.
Yuuma-kun isn't really my child.
What?
That's right.
He definitely said before that he wasn't Sumomo-chan's brother.
Yuuma-kun is...
my son.
Yours, Minagi-sensei?!
Yes.
Furthermore,
as a child, he showed his gift for magic when he was just one month old.
However,
it's difficult to raise a child who can use magic well.
His emotions often get in the way.
What are you supposed to do with a child as powerful as Yuuma-kun?
After all, when you use magic randomly, you never know what will happen.
So I told Yuuma-kun never to use magic.
But...
he watched me using magic and memorized magic spells.
And then...
an incident occurred.

I'm an idiot.
This is the same as back then.
Just when I'd had enough and had decided not to use magic or things like that.
Yuuma-kun used magic at the neighbourhood park...
and elevated some boys high into the air.
He raised the surrounding objects as well.
Even though he didn't hurt the boys,
their parents were very upset about his dangerous actions.
Then the park employees got angry, and matters became very difficult.
It was definitely a troublesome situation.
A little prank made a mess of public property.
No!
It wasn't a little prank!
Wh-What are you saying so suddenly?
Yuuma-kun didn't use magic for a little prank.
He used it to help me!
Haruhi-chan...
Yuuma was a transfer student.
I'd heard that before.
This happened in elementary school, second grade.
He transferred into our class.
He was an unsociable brat.
I thought, "What a worthless guy."
But you quickly became friends, right?
Yeah, I'm just...
one of those guys who can't leave people alone.
No.
This isn't about me right now.
After school, he talked to me.
Because of an incident that had happened to him, he said he couldn't be with his real mother.
Right now, Yuuma reminds me of the boy who had just transferred into our class.
So, I think it's unreasonable to draw conclusions without hearing the story first.
For now, let's just stand by him.
That's right.
I see, something like that.
And I thought that Yuuma had used magic for no reason.
I saw Yuuma's magic and decided to become a magician.
Magic... I thought it was so great.
But as for Yuuma, he never used magic again after that.
How ironic!
Don't tell me you and Yuuma-kun were separated because of that incident?
That actually had nothing to do with it.
Rather, there had been a major incident just before that.
A major incident?
Yes.
The incident that led to the establishment of Mizuhosaka Academy.
You're bringing Ibuki-sama's bag.
Yes, Ani-sama.
I wonder whether Sumomo-sama will be all right.
Who knows?
From what I've heard, we are viewed as the adversaries.
So we're enemies.
If only they'd thought of that before getting involved...
Do you mean it's impossible to stop Ibuki-sama, Ani-sama?
We're her servants. How can we defy her?
We must obey her, even when she makes mistakes.
Yes, ever since that day...
If only I hadn't said that.
I'm still that boy.
Saya, stop crying.
What's going on here, Shin'ya, Saya?
Father.
Why do we have no mother?
We have homework for school.
Mother's Day is soon, so we're supposed to draw a picture of our mother.
The teacher said that drawing your mother is what children always do for Mother's Day.
I want to see Mother!
Stop, Saya! You've cried enough over Mother.
Crying won't bring her back!
Do you want to see Mother, Shin'ya, Saya?
But things like that...
And if we could?
Yes.
So that's it, then.
Saya, wake up!
What?! The Shikimori Treasure-
Souya-sama took it?!
Father!
Shin'ya! Saya! I will show you your mother right now!
With the power of the Shikimori Treasure!
A demon?!
The servants' father did something like that?
The Shikimori Treasure is actually a way of sealing away demons.
But because of how it's been used, it's been misinterpreted as a way of raising the dead.
But...
He screwed up and let loose demons.
Only those with the power of magic can defeat demons.
Magicians of the Takamine and Minagi households, who were deeply connected to the Shikimori,
joined forces in an attempt to seal the demons away, but...
Le fana lena!
They just don't stop, do they, Sut-chan?
Yuzuha!
As I thought, we have to stop this at the source.
You mean to break the spell?!
You're delusional! That's impossible!
But what would happen if I tried with my own life?
What happened, Nee-san?!
Someone is going to lose their life.
Don't tell me...
Come to think of it, that was the first time I ever used foresight magic.
That's true.
I learned something heartbreaking I really didn't want to know.
"Yuzuha," as in Principal Takamine Yuzuha? Takamine-senpai's mother?
She's not dead!
She just went on a trip to England, right?
Yeah, yeah!
She said she wanted to drink genuine Scotch.
Yes, Yuzuha is alive today.
But someone else lost their life back then.
Sut-chan, take care of things for me.
Natsune!
Natsune-chan!
Hold on a minute.
I'll use this recent temple barrier against the Shikimori Treasure.
If you do that, you'll...
Le ratel amrest!
Yuzuha-san, you can already tell how this incident will end.
That-
Suzuri-san, please take care of things for me.
Natsune!
That's the Sealing Technique!
Natsune!
Suzuri-san... keep the Treasure safe...
Please...
Onee-sama...
The one who lost her life was Natsune-san...
Ibuki-san's older sister.
I can't turn back now.
Not until I touch the Shikimori Treasure with my own hands.
NEXT EPISODE
I'm Kamisaka Haruhi!
I've been training recently to master the art of preview announcements!
To do that, one uses various clichés about this time and last time.
I'll give it a try.
"It's a happy and heartfelt school life!" How's that?
What? There's only one episode left after the next one?
B-But, after that time-based cliché...
Next up, "The Shikimori Treasure."
Shikimori Treasure
"It's a happy and-" Ah, time's up!
