You're really devouring that fish.
Eh?
Because...
the fish are from around my home town, it's delicious.
Oh, right.
Your home is in Shonan, isn't it?
Dried fish is really delicious.
Hmm.
The butterfish is the best!
That's so nice.
In Biei we don't have an ocean, so I'm kind of jealous.
I see.
Biei is smack in the middle of the belly of Hokkaido after all.
However, you won't lose in numbers of tasty foods.
Hokkaido has a huge belly!
What's with that phrasing?
Hokkaido's hair crab sure is great though.
That's for sure!
Hair crab in miso soup is the best!
"That's for sure!"

Watch Gouta's past closely!
Your lunch box was great... Maeno.
Gouta
From: Midorakawa Yuuichi Subject: How are you?
Are you doing well, Gouta?
Are you getting along with the people at Hara Magic Office?
Don't overdo it. From Dad.
Yeah.
Go on ahead first today, Sora-chan.
You broke a lock?
That's it?
Yeah.
You could've done that even without magic.
I guess so.
We can't have our Suzuki Sora waste her magic on something like that.
It's got to be some kind of...
...totally amazing magic.
I kind of feel like I'm getting scolded.
Yeah.
What are you all discussing?
Nothing in particular.
Hiyori-chan, how did your magic training go?
Um...
My instructor is an elderly man. but he's really kind.
Somehow I managed to do the job.
That's great!
Yeah.
How about you, Midorikawa-kun?
I suppose we all do what we can, huh?
Good morning everyone.
Good morning.
Today's lecture will be on society's views of magic, and how it has changed throughout history.
Since ancient times, people have always lived in fear of death...
Whoa, Gouta, is that a second box?
Yeah.
Oh man, this is delicious.
Your mom sure is sweet.
She even prepared you two lunch boxes.
One is for breakfast when I come back from surfing.
I have to eat crummy convenience store food in the morning.
What's wrong with that? You get to eat what you like.
Then let's trade!
No thanks.
Hey, Nomiya.
Have you seen Gouta's mom before?
She came to the Parents Meeting, right?
She was really beautiful.
Nomiya's mom's an Enka singer, right?
And yours is like a sumo wrestler!
You guys are so lame.
Gouta-kun's fried prawn: stolen!
Come on now.
Konishi, you...!
Help me... Yum.
I'm home.
I'll prepare dinner now.
Hey...
What is it?
Is there anything specific you want to eat?
The lunch boxes were really good.
What's with all the flattery all of a sudden?
Today sure is a strange one.
Even your father sent me an e-mail saying, "The lunch box was really tasty."
Oh, really?
Parents and children really do resemble each other, huh?
We're all connected by blood after all.
Even though it's only the weird parts that seem alike.
Eh? Give me a break.
Midorakawa-kun.
Yes.
As expected of Gouta-sensei.
I can't believe you got 89 in that subject.
Not really.
It's worse than I expected.
What a show-off.
If it was me, we'd be celebrating with red rice at home.
You mean he's finally become a man, right?
Must be nice to be so smart.
And your mom is beautiful too.
That has nothing to do with it.
Want to swap moms with me?
Don't be retarded.
Then swap brains with me!
Dumbass!
Midorikawa-kun.
Midorikawa-kun!
It's your choice to listen to my lectures if you want.
However, I would rather you not cause any problems for those who are actually trying to listen.
I'm sorry.
Lately, I haven't had much spirit to keep on going with this.
Did something happen at the Bureau of Magic?
This is today's magic training location.
The client is Aimoto Eiji-san, 32 years old.
He works as a freelance writer.
The request is to help him find a lost insurance card.
Yeah, I totally can't find it.
You're a lifesaver, dude.
Help me find it, will you?
Today's request is to help you find a lost insurance card, correct?
Well, why don't you start by using some magic and cleaning this place up?
That way you'll find it.
It'll be fine if we just find the insurance card, right?
Like I said...
Clean up this place first.
If you do that, it'll appear on its own.
Oh, Miharu-chan?
Yeah, totally, that dude is really screwing around.
Speaking of tonight...
Oh, yeah.
Eh?! You're going?
Okay.
Aimoto-san.
In the request there is no mention of cleaning...
However, it does say to use magic to find your insurance card.
Eh?
Sorry about this.
Right now I got some guests who don't understand Japanese.
Yeah.
Hold on a second.
Like I said...
Clean up and find it!
Being a mage, it should be piece of cake.
This guy...
Sorry about this...
But it seems crap just keeps on piling on top of me.
It's a real pain.
Yeah.
You know...
We're saying the request made and the one you're talking about are different.
What's with this kid?
Well, some magicians are over...
But, I can't seem to get through to them.
Put away your cellphone already!
Excuse me?
Gouta-kun!
Don't you have any respect when talking to people?
Put away your cellphone!
What's with your attitude?
Wait!
Are you always going to run away when you meet something you don't like?!
There are all types of people in this world.
If you keep on doing this, there's no way you'll survive.
Then...
Then I don't need to live in this kind of world.
What do you mean I have to do training during my summer break?
I had no clue either that your father was a mage.
Dad's a mage?!
I never heard anything about it before.
Sorry.
He even kept it a secret from me.
For an entire 17 years.
What the hell?
I put it in my past...
I gave up on doing magic.
I couldn't use it properly...
You didn't have to hide it from us.
Saying something so suddenly to Gouta won't change...
I...
But, I couldn't tell you.
Why?
Because...
Because I knew you hated mages...
What are you saying?
I loved you because you were always so openly honest with people.
I'm sorry.
I will not live with a man who makes up lies.
Gouta, what will you do?
I'll be moving to your grandmother's in Naga.
I...
Hurry up and make a decision.
It's impossible to make a decision so suddenly.
I still have school too!
Oh, I see... Then...
I'll be leaving on my own.
I'm sorry.
Please take care of yourselves.
Dad.
Aren't you going to chase after her?
Mom's really going to leave!
I've been lying all this time.
I'm sorry.
I've been lying to your mother...
Dad...
Hey, did you hear?
Midorikawa-kun's a mage.
If you get near him, he'll cast a spell on you.
Scary!
Quit saying stuff like that.
Huh?
He's been hiding it from us all this time.
Midorikawa-kun must've been doing so well on his tests because of magic.
Stop it already.
You're scared too, aren't you?
Hey, Konishi! Hurry up and finish your food.
We're going to go play soccer.
Uh, hey, aren't you going to come too?
Who's Gouta again?
Come on, Nomiya!
We aren't friends with any mage, right?
Take it easy...
...it's not like I was trying to get in an argument.
You did find my insurance card after all.
You even cleaned up the place.
Really, I didn't mean to get in an argument.
Please raise your heads.
You know...
You did well, hanging in there.
Thanks.
But you know,
not all clients are like that.
Eh?
There might be all sorts of people,
but there are plenty of good people too.
I see.
Today, you did great hanging in there.
Sora-chan!
Sorry, did you wait long?
No, I'm all right.
Today's pretty hot too.
Kimono?
I grew up learning Japanese dance.
Japanese dance...
Surprising, isn't it?
These yukatas are so cute!
Take a look, Sora-chan!
How is it?
It has a great beat and it sounded really great.
Thanks.
But I don't listen to this type of music very often.
I love all the new releases from England.
Let me join you on whatever you listen to next.
Sure!
Dad.
What are you doing?
Just taking a break.
I see.
Where are you going?
Food.
You aren't eating with everyone else?
It's just...
I kind of felt like eating at a sushi turntable all of sudden.
When you think about sushi going around in circles, it's kind of weird, huh?
Then don't come with me.
Spin, spin! Suzuki is going to spin!
What the heck was that?
doko kimi ga suki desu
No matter where you are, I will love you.
nagai kimi wo shiritai
Even through the distance I want to know you.

Please let me know all the things you love.
It's the girl who plays the guitar!

I'll fly into the sky.

I will fly towards the sky.

Once I've become Superman,

Uh...
Gosh, wait for me!

With only the feeling of love,

I'll will fly towards the sky.
sora wo toberu dayo
I will fly towards the sky.
What a great girl you are, Yasuko-chan.
Your voice is the greatest!
Thanks.
Hmm, what should I sing next?
Hey...
Is this your first time?
Yeah.
Thank you very much.
So delicious!
You're amazing.
Huh? What?
Nothing.
Mister, more please!
Sure thing.
Welcome!
It was fun, wasn't it?
Eh?
Yesterday's sushi turntable.
I think I ate too much.
That's for sure.
For such a small person, you sure can eat.
Yesterday was really fun.
Yeah!
What are you guys talking about?
Hiyo-chan came to visit me in Shimokitazawa.
Next time ask me too.
Eh?
Next time I'll be joining too!
Oh, sounds like fun.
Yeah.
A tricycle event is about to start...
Today's client is Takenaka Yuuko-san.
She's 31, and works as a book translator...
I still can't use any magic at all.
Therefore, I think you should do the magic for me.
Gouta-kun...
Most likely, I've written everything I can remember.
The request was...
something sweet, fluffy, and smooth.
And drinking it gives the feeling of warmth.
Trying to figure it out from that description might be impossible, huh?
That's the reason you made a request for a mage, right?
Yes.
No matter what, I'd like to have a taste of that flavour.
Lately, the memory of that taste has been running through my head.
I see, I wonder what type of magic would be appropriate.
Uh...
Any ideas?
That suitcase...
Are you going on a trip?
Oh no, I'll be staying at a hospital.
It might be for a while though.
Something sweet and fluffy.
A drink full of warmth.
Yes... Something lovely...
Oh I see.
We've decided on the magic.
Then, please.
"A heart of warmth, and the power of sympathy."
"Please appear within this cup."
If you will.
Yes.
What is this? It's awful.
What I asked for was something sweet.
I see.
This taste is somewhat mysterious...
But it's a very nostalgic one.
What is this?
A mother's milk.
Mother's milk?
After...
...hearing your story, I began to remember what my mother told me.
"When I was raising you, I tried my own milk."
And she said it tasted awful.
However, inside of that taste, there is the power to raise a child.
I see.
I figured that was the taste of something sweet, fluffy, and warm.
A taste full of love.
Thank you for helping me remember.
It was nothing.
I have breast cancer.
I see.
I've been trying to remember my deceased mother's breast milk this entire time.
Please don't give up hope.
I won't.
My mother gave me her encouragement as well after all.
Therefore, I will come back safely from my surgery.
Your mother must be a wonderful person.
Being able to raise a son like you.
Thank you.
It was tasty.
It's big, isn't it?
Goldfish sure do get big, huh?
It's the goldfish Saori-san and her daughter caught at a festival.
Is her daughter around?
They got in a fight and she left.
It's been about three years now.
Three years?
Saori-san really takes care of it.
The goldfish that is.
夜の後曲がりざわめく街

After the night, in this noisy town,
君に借りたり歌を聞きながら歩く

you lend me a song to listen to, while I walk with you.
何度も電話して

No matter what, I will always call you.

Just like this dry flower,
月の色

it's the colour of the moon.
It'd be nice if there was a magic...
...that would fill people's hearts with warmth.
But, it's not like you can expect everything will go well.
Shimokitazawa
Next time: Shimokitazawa.
Hara-sensei used to be a rocker?!
There'll be more magic next week!
Oh, by Kana.
