It's so hot.
We're here.
Akaike-san...
It's Hara from the Magic Office.
Akaike-san.
Is that so?
You're currently doing magic training, huh?
Yes.
But, I still have a long ways to go.
When I was 16, that was went I meet him.
Oh, really?
Even I used to be young.
What kind of person was he?
Let's see.
He always kept his hair short...
and was quite fashionable.
His smile was like a blooming flower.
Was it love at first sight?
It was! He said it himself that he fell in love with me at first sight.
Such a beautiful story.
Uh...
We'd like to thank you for letting Suzuki Sora take on today's magic request.
You're welcome.
I will give it my best for today's magic.
I hope for your success.
I've already written about it in my request.
But, I would like this returned to its original form.
What exactly is it?
A souvenir by him.
After the second world war, his comrade came all the way over here to deliver this to me personally.
These pieces of ash?
Yes.
I did ask why he gave me these.
He died in the southern islands.
He fought bravely and never surrendered.
In the end he died by the enemy's B-24 bombers.
No way.
It's just how it is in war.
Many people die in this manner.
This here was something he would never let go of until the very end.
His comrade said he held on to it for dear life.
That's why I think if he came back alive, he would have most certainly handed this to me personally.
It must certainly be...
...something very important, huh?
Yes, that's what I think as well.
That's why I've been taking care of it all this time.
But then, I suppose I'm at the age where it wouldn't be weird for me to pass off in to the next world.
Well, I suppose I could ask him myself then.
Just thinking about that makes me want to know what it is.
I'm sorry...
...for calling them ashes.
It's okay.
So, please help me return these ashes to their original form.
Yes!
Akaike-san's request is to...
...return her keepsake back to it's original form.
"World of memories..."
"A form hidden by a dark age..."
"Return to your original form."
Sensei!
Don't give up. If you stop here it'll vanish!
I'll lend you my strength.
Don't stop your casting.
Yes!
There...
Stop casting now.
Yes.
This is...
This is what I gave to him before he left.
He said he wanted to keep something of mine while he was gone.
Oh, that man...
He wanted to be with me until the very last moment.
Until the very end he always thought of me, didn't he?
I...
...almost destroyed her precious comb.
That's true.
I fail as a mage.
You should understand you're in training, Sora-chan.
If you could do everything perfectly, there'd be no point for training.
I see.
Right now experience is what you need.
Everyone's magic is unique.
Because your magic is so powerful,
you ended up summoning the scenery of its past.
I'm really grateful for what you did for me today.
If you weren't there I would've...
That is my job after all.
Mrs. Kikuko was really happy.
Yup.
It was truly...
...a beautiful magic.
Your smile...
Huh?
Seeing a smiling Sora-chan is the best.
Thanks!
"You laughed just now, didn't you?!"
That was delicious!
Thank you for the meal.
Thanks.
It was good.
Oh, I'll clean the dishes.
I will too.
Oh?
I guess I'll count on you two.
Yes.
You don't like tomatoes do you, Gouta-kun?
I've never really liked them.
The tomatoes in Hokkaido are a lot more delicious.
Really?
At my house we even make tomato juice.
It'd be nice if I could treat you to some.
Is it really that tasty?
Yeah! It's the world's best!
Oh?
Then let me have some.
Then come to Biei!
Hokkaido...
...must be a beautiful place.
You got to taste Mrs. Yoshiko milk too!
Then you should come eat a rice bowl of sardines.
What's that?
You've never heard of sardines before?
Does it taste good?
It tastes amazing!
The light for the board outside is out.
Oh, that again?
Don't be so stingy with a silly light.
It's because it's a pain to do.
So delicious!
Are you serious?
But it really is delicious.
That makes me happy.
It's goats milk, you know?
Really?
Just joshing.
My head's killing from drinking too much last night.
Good morning.
Hey, Kuroda.
Hmm? What is it?
How were you able to start using magic?
Starting to ask questions only now?
I suppose it's okay.
Let's see...
Before I realized it, I was able to use magic.
You liar.
Asagi again?
Can you read people's thoughts or something?
Look here...
I've never heard of a person who's been able to use magic all of a sudden.
But...
Magic is something you learn from your parents.
By watching them use it, you understand and remember.
I see.
I suppose that explanation works too.
Even Kuroda Kouji here had his parents teach him.
Parents, huh?
You're a stuck up as ever.
It's because you were making up lies.
And now she calls me a liar.
Then stop trying to act cool.
What a noisy brat.
But I do get what you mean, Hono-chan.
Even birds learn to fly by watching their parents.
It's kind of unreasonable to be comparing people to birds though.
I see.
By watching your parents you can understand how.
That wouldn't work for me.
It doesn't have to be your parents really.
Just someone good at magic.
Someone good at magic...
I made it on time!
Suzuki-san.
Yes, ma'am!
I was visiting this family of cats in an alley.
I took off my shoes but my handkerchief went flying and...
Starting tomorrow, please arrive five minutes earlier.
Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry.
Today we will be starting with page 30...
Stop it you meanie!
It's been decided already so I cannot go.
Performing awakening magic in the evening, huh?
Do you have plans tonight?
We'll do it.
Because it's level of magic is a bit difficult,
I thought it'd be chance to see Sora-chan's potential.
Sounds good, Saori-chan.
Start calling me Mrs. Saori already!
Oh, Sei-san, what you doing here so early?
Today I'll be hill surfing.
What's that supposed to mean?
What are you doing here in midday, Sei-san?
Looking for company.
Oh, stop it.
How's the store?
Eh?
It's doing okay.
That's good.
Yo, Hayashi!
No one's here, huh?
Oh?
It's been a while since I've heard you play guitar.
I can't believe...
you're still wearing boots in this hot weather.
Even if the world were to become tropical I'd still wear them.
Shunseike became a guitarist.
Oh, really.
He did because you're his hero.
No need telling me that.
I saw it in a pamphlet, tonight is his first live show, right?
Yeah.
He resembles the old you.
There's this live show now and work is piling up too.
I see.
I'll come by after work.
Sure thing.
Hey...
Yeah?
Find a wife.
Eh?
Starting a family is a good thing.
It's easier being on my own.
But, then you could have a kiss whenever you wanted.
Don't be an idiot.
Say hello to Kayo-chan for me.
Sure.
See you later.
See ya.
Try your best.
Yes, ma'am!
Our client is Motohashi-san.
Eh?!
But, it has nothing to do with the safe.
Please say hello to Motohashi-san for me.
Will do.
Awakening magic...
Your shoulders look tense.
Yes.
Relax.
Your magic strength is quite high.
Therefore, relax and concentrate and you'll be fine.
Yes!
My son says he's forgotten his mother's voice.
Even after watching a school festival video, he couldn't remember her voice.
I'm sorry.
Shion doesn't like speaking up for himself.
Please...
help my wife wake up.
Hmm?
Shion-kun, we're going to wake your mother up, okay?
Really?
Yup, I'll give it my best.
And this is...?
Suzuki Sora.
She may be a trainee, however her magic abilities are exceptional.
My apologies, it's just you're so young.
I will try my very best.
I leave my wife...
...in your hands.
Currently she's in a coma.
Basically she's in a vegetative state.
Miona hasn't woken up for over a year now.
I will attempt using magic directly on her conciousness.
Therefore, be careful that it is Miona-san's conciousness you cast your spell on.
Miona.
"By the wish of those who wait..
"...let these beloved feelings be reached."
Mama.
Mama!
Shion.
Miona!
Miona.
Thank goodness.
You're awake, Miona.
Uh...
Where am...
Mama, it's me!
I've been attending kindergarten all on my own!
Excuse me...
Where is this?
Miona...
Shion is now five years old.
Who...
...are you?
You did a good job, Sora-chan.
But, why didn't her memories come back too?
It's because...
It must've been because I didn't do well at all.
That's not it at all.
