Misaki & Kanon
A witch's store?
Hagumi
Yeah, yeah! Akari told me about it. There's a rumor going around her school.
Hagumi
It's a shop where some lady dressed in black sells spooky stuff!
Kaoru
Are you implying that this woman is a witch?
Hagumi
Yeah! Like one straight out of a picture book!
Kokoro
Do you think she's this kind of witch?
Misaki
What do you mean by that...? Is that a picture book?
Kokoro
Yeah, it's my picture book! It has witches in it!
Kanon
Umm, ah, there they are. There's also something written about them.
Misaki
Like what? "Witches wear gloves all year round"...?
Kaoru
"Witches eyes appear to be red."
Kanon
And it says here, "witches are not good with children, so they have large noses to sense them with."
Hagumi
Yeah! That's it, exactly! Akari said the old lady looked just like that!
Kokoro
That's amazing! She must be a real witch!
Misaki
No, I think it's probably just a coincidence. She's exaggerating.
Kanon
There were a lot of rumors like that back in elementary school... So maybe we shouldn't get too excited about it...
Misaki
That's right. And I bet that lady doesn't appreciate being gossiped about.
Kokoro
I know! Let's go and meet this witch right now!
Kokoro
We can ask her to show us some magic! That would be stupend-erific!
Hagumi
I wanna go too! I've always wanted to meet a real witch!
Kaoru
Fufu, the prospect of seeing magic with my very own eyes is quite a thrilling development. Truly fleeting...
Misaki
Are you guys even listening?
Kanon
They're very intent on visiting that store...
Misaki
They really never listen...
Misaki
Well, whatever. I'm sure they'll realize she's not a witch if we go and see for ourselves...
Kanon
Yeah, that's true... Oh?
Kanon
Where's Kokoro-chan...? And Hagumi-chan and Kaoru-san...?
Hagumi
Kano-chan-senpai! Mii-kun! Let's go already~!
Kanon
Oh they're already outside...
Misaki
I wish they'd use this vitality of theirs to listen to people when they're talking...
Kanon
I-is this the store...? The sign says "MAHO DO."
Misaki
This place is a little spooky, no wonder there are rumors... Their products are a bit strange too...
Kaoru
I-I imagined it to be the store of a more amiable witch, but, yes, I suppose there are witches like this too...
Misaki
Are you okay, Kaoru-san? You look a little pale.
Kanon
This store does feel a bit scary...
Kaoru
I-I am not afraid, not in the slightest. It's just different from what I'd expected, so I'm a little bewildered, that's all. Hahaha...
Kokoro
Seems like no one's here. I wonder where the witch lady is.
Hagumi
Hello?! Anyone home?!
Old Lady
My, my, is that a customer...?
Misaki
Ah, hello. Sorry for the intrusion.
Kokoro & Hagumi
...!
Hagumi
Look, Kokoron! This old lady's wearing gloves!
Kokoro
Her eyes also look kind of red! And her nose is huge!
Old Lady
What's with all the gawking...? Sigh, this is why I'm no good with children...
Hagumi
Did you guys hear that?! She hates kids!
Kokoro
That settles it! You're a real wit-
Misaki
Cut it out!
Hagumi
But this lady's gotta be a-
Misaki
I said, cut it out!
Kokoro & Hagumi
But why?
Misaki
Why...? Because it's rude. You can't just call people witches.
Kokoro
I don't really get it, but... okay. Don't call witches "witches," got it.
Hagumi
I didn't know the witch world had that kinda rule~.
Misaki
You two aren't getting this at all... Oh well, I guess this works too.
Old Lady
Oh my, you're quite the rowdy bunch, aren't you? I don't mind that you're energetic, but try not to make too much noise.
Old Lady
I don't get a lot of customers as it is. You might scare them off even more.
Kokoro
...? You don't get many customers?
Old Lady
It's just as you see. I want my store to thrive, but for some reason, I just can't seem to get any customers...
Kokoro
Then you should do something to get lots of customers! I'm sure you could have a store full of smiling faces!
Misaki
There she goes again...
Misaki
Wait a minute... I have a bad feeling about this...
Kokoro
Hey, lady! We'll help you get your store full of smiles!
Misaki
Yep, there it is...
Kanon
U-um, Kokoro-chan, do you have an idea on how to attract more customers...?
Kokoro
We can think of one together!
Hagumi
Yeah! That's our specialty!
Kaoru
Y-yes, it is. I, of course, have no objections to lending a helping hand...
Old Lady
It'd be a dream come true if you could get customers to come... But can you kids really do something like that?
Kokoro
Yes, leave it ti us! We're great at making people smile!
Transcript
Kokoro
Now let's begin our strategy meeting!
Hagumi
We want to get lots of customers to come, right?!
Kokoro
Hmm... I wonder why they're not coming. It's such a fun store with lots of things I've never seen before!
Old Lady
Yes, yes, you've got an eye for this, don't you?
Old Lady
As you can see, I have a great store here, but no one comes by. Even when people do come in, they tend to leave in a hurry.
Kokoro
Hmm... That's very strange!
Kokoro
You've got so many things, like that skeleton over there and that creepy ghost painting!
Misaki
No, no, I'm pretty sure those aren't the reasons they're not coming!
Hagumi
Huh? What do you mean?
Misaki
Well... this store is scary.
Kanon
I think a lot of people might be frightened of places like this... I'm not very good with them either...
Kaoru
Y-yes. It does have the type of ambiance that would make one hesitate.
Old Lady
S-scary...? I'd never thought of it like that before...!
Kokoro
Now that you mention it, this place is a little dark.
Hagumi
I don't think it's very scary... But I think it'd be way, way better if it were a cuter store!
Old Lady
I-I see. That was a big oversight on my part. Thanks.
Misaki
Also, I feel like the products themselves might be your problem. It's kind of like an explosion of creepiness...
Kanon
Y-yeah, like this spider pendant... It looks just like the real thing, so it gave me a fright.
Hagumi
Huh? There's something written on the price tag.
Misaki
"Spiders are lucky creatures. This pendant will bring you good luck"...?
Kaoru
What about that crow feather brooch...?
Hagumi
It says, "Crows are clever creatures. This brooch will give you wisdom in times of trouble"!
Kanon
Does this store sell... good luck charms...?
Misaki
Ah~, you do see stores like that every now and then.
Kokoro
Charms...? You mean like magic charms? Wow! So you sell magic stuff, right?!
Hagumi
Wah! So it's true then! This old lady can use magic!
Kanon
E-erm, I don't think magic and good luck charms are the same thing...
Misaki
It does make sense, though. That's why this place has this weird atmosphere. That also must be how those rumors got started...
Misaki
But I think stores like this usually sell more accessible products, like gemstone jewelry and such...
Misaki
This store feels more genuine, or rather, it's gone past that into grotesque territory...
Kanon
They do look a little hard to wear...
Old Lady
Huh...? But aren't spiders and crows more stylish than plain old gems? That's what I always thought...!
Kokoro
I love all of the things you have here! They're so unique!
Kokoro
Look, I've never seen a phone strap like this before!
Kaoru
That's... Erm, what exactly is that, Kokoro?
Kokoro
This is~... It says it's a frog strap!
Misaki & Kanon
A frog?!
Hagumi
How's that a frog? It doesn't really look like one.
Kaoru
It almost looks as if it were drawn by a small child. It is remarkably simple, and the more I look, the more I think it may not be a frog...
Kanon
The other animal-themed goods look just like the real thing. I wonder why this one is a little different...
Misaki
Maybe the craftsman was half-asleep when they made it...?
Old Lady
I made that one to look like the real thing too... It just might not be the type of frog you folks are familiar with.
Old Lady
Anyhow, I get it now. Both the store and the products are no good.
Old Lady
I can do something about the interior, but if I'm gonna make new goods, what kind should I make...?
Kokoro
You're going to...
Hagumi
Make them...
Kaoru
It cannot be. Did you craft all of these by your own hand?
Misaki
What?! These are all handmade...?! They're such high quality...!
Old Lady
It's not that big of a deal. But yes, I made them. Could you girls help me make some new products? I think they'd just turn out the same if I made them...
Kokoro
Wow! That sounds like so much fun!
Hagumi
Yeah! I'll help! I'll make lots of cute things!
Kaoru
Indeed, I cannot let those down who count on me. I shall adorn this store with my fleeting designs.
Misaki
W-wait, guys, we've never made things like this before...
Kanon
Ngh, can we really make items good enough to sell...?
Transcript
Old Lady
... So that's more or less how I make them.
Misaki
Huh, so you make your items out of clay...? I see, so then you just have to bake them in the oven...
Kanon
That's a relief. The process doesn't seem as difficult as I thought it would be.
Kaoru
... I beg to differ. I am only just now realizing how challenging this task may be.
Kanon
Ah, yes. The final step is simple, but sculpting items out of clay that are as good as hers does look difficult.
Kaoru
That is not what I meant. Sculpting I can do... But magic is beyond my abilities...
Hagumi
Ah! That's right! I can't do magic either~!
Misaki
Magic...? Ohhh, you mean like what's written on those tags?
Misaki
I don't think that woman can actually use magic... I'm pretty sure it's just the theme of her store...
Kokoro
Hey, ma'am, how can we make these magical?
Old Lady
As long as you use this clay, it should be fine. Anything you make with it will have magical powers.
Kokoro
Magical powers?! Wow, so this is magic clay?!
Hagumi
Whoa! This is my first time seeing magical clay!
Old Lady
But you have to put your heart into making it, you know?
Old Lady
If you don't focus on what kind of charm you want it to be, the magic won't work.
Misaki
It looks like normal clay to me... I didn't realize this is how these types of stores made their products.
Misaki
But isn't "put your heart into it" a bit too vague...?
Kanon
Ahaha... This shopkeeper sure likes to joke.
Kanon
But when she says it, it makes me think that the clay really might be magic.
Misaki
Well, she certainly looks like she can use magic, doesn't she?
Misaki
If I were an elementary school kid, I might have even thought she was a witch...
Kokoro
Okay, it's our time to shine! Let's make lots of goods that will make customers smile!
Hagumi & Kaoru
Yeah!
Kokoro
Mmm~! I'm done!
Misaki
Huh? Already? But we've only just begun...
Kokoro
I just had so many things I wanted to make! Before I knew it, I'd made them all!
Kokoro
Look, everybody, it's a happy brooch!
Misaki
Happy brooch...?
Kanon
Erm, what shape is that...? Is this the top? Ah, or does it go this way...?
Kokoro
It's a smiley face! It's full of magic to make sure you have lots of fun!
Kokoro
And this one is a star~! It's got the power to let you see starry skies! Then there's this one~...
Misaki
I-I don't really get any of them. Or rather, they all look the same...
Kanon
Kokoro-chan's drawings are very unique... and so are her sculptures...
Kaoru
As expected, Kokoro, your brooches are going to be overflowing with charm.
Kaoru
But alas, I will not be outdone. Behold, my fleeting, gorgeous creations.
Hagumi
Lemme see, lemme see! Did you make these, Kaoru-kun...? Huh? Kaoru-kun?
Kokoro
Look at all the mini Kaoru faces! You're so good at this! They all look just like you!
Kanon
Wh-why did you sculpt your own face, Kaoru-san...?
Kaoru
Because people enjoy beautiful accessories. As I ruminated on this, the most beautiful thing that came to mind was... me.
Kaoru
I am certain that, if we turn these into pendants, they will make the customers shine even brighter.
Kaoru
This melancholic me will bring the wearer an encounter to make their heart race...
Kaoru
This gallant me will give the wearer the courage to face anything. And-
Misaki
We're not making band merchandise, you know... The only people who would buy these are your fans, Kaoru-san.
Kanon
If that's the case, they might actually sell out...
Hagumi
Kokoron and Kaoru-kun, you're both so amazing! Okay, now look at what I made! I worked super hard!
Kanon
What did you make, Hagumi-chan...? Oh, there's quite a lot here. A softball, a monkey, and... Is this a croquette?
Hagumi
That's right! I made all the things I like!
Hagumi
This is a magical softball that'll make you hit a home run for sure!
Hagumi
And for that one there, I cast a spell so that the teacher never calls on you in class~!
Kanon
Fufu, that's very like you, Hagumi-chan.
Misaki
Maybe it's because I saw yours after Kokoro and Kaoru-san's, but I'm quite relieved by how cute and normal they are...
Misaki
Hm? Hey, Hagumi? Is that one... Michelle and Marie?
Hagumi
Yeah! Those charms are a two-in-one!
Kanon
Two-in-one?
Hagumi
Yeah, I made them so that the two people who carry these will be best friends forever, just like Michelle and Marie!
Kanon
Friends forever, huh...? That sounds really lovely.
Misaki
I don't know if using Michelle's image to sell stuff is a good idea, but... I guess most customers would just think it's a bear and a rabbit.
Hagumi
Kano-chan-senpai, Mii-kun, what did you guys make?
Kanon
It's not quite finished yet, but... I'm making a penguin. I'm not too confident about it, but I'm hoping it turns out okay.
Misaki
I'm not done yet at all. I know what I want to make, but I can't decide what kind of magic I should put into it...
Misaki
I know it's kind of rude to say this here, but I don't really believe in that sort of thing...
Old Lady
My, my, what a dreamless child.
Misaki
Yeah, I get that a lot...
Kokoro
It's okay, Misaki! I'm sure you can cast some wonderful spells too!
Kokoro
You just have to think of fun and happy feelings while you sculpt the clay! If you do that, you'll be able to make some really nice good luck charms!
Old Lady
It seems the long-haired girl over here has aptitude.
Kanon
Aptitude...? Aptitude for what?
Old Lady
Well, the aptitude for magic, of course. I suppose you could also call it the ability to make her feelings a reality.
Kokoro
Wow! So I can use magic?!
Hagumi
That's amazing, Kokoron! I'm jealous~. I wanna do magic too~!
Misaki
Magic...? There she goes again, saying strange things...
Kanon
Fufu, but if that's what it takes to be able to use magic, Kokoro-chan definitely has it.
Transcript
Kokoro
Making those goods yesterday was really fun!
Hagumi
The old lady was happy that we made so many! But before I knew it, it was nighttime! I was so surprised!
Kanon
She said she would display the pieces we made, didn't she?
Kaoru
To think customers will be encountering our fleeting creations... Fufu, I cannot wait to see what kind of faces they will make.
Misaki
But the interior of the store is still the same as it was... So she might not get any customers yet.
Hagumi
... Huh? That's the store over there, right?
Kanon
Yeah, but- Huh? There's a crowd in front of the store...
Kokoro
Are they customers?!
Misaki
L-let's go and see!
Misaki & Kanon
...
Misaki
Th-this is MAHO DO, right?
Kanon
Wow, it looks completely different from how it did yesterday...
Kokoro
Yeah! Now it's a super happy store!
Kaoru
Yes, this enveloping sense of security... This store has been reborn as a truly fleeting one!
Hagumi
This is amazing! I guess the old lady must've worked hard last night!
Misaki
No way. No matter how hard you work, you can't renovate a store overnight...!
Kanon
B-but she did...
Kanon
Maybe she really can do magic...
Misaki
K-Kanon-san, not you too. There's no way she can...
Kanon
Y-you're right. It's not possible.
Kaoru
Even so, it is remarkably crowded in here. Yesterday's silence feels like a dream.
Kokoro
Yeah, I bet the owner's really happy being surrounded by all these customers!
Hagumi
Hmm... She's over there, but she doesn't look too happy.
Misaki
Ah, there's a huge line at the counter...! She can't handle this many customers alone.
Kanon
W-we should help her...!
Kanon
P-please line up over here if you're waiting to pay~.
Misaki
Good job, Kanon-san. I think the line should be fine like this.
Kanon
Sigh, thank goodness... Oh? Where did Kokoro-chan and the others go?
Misaki
They're talking to customers about the products. Look over there...
Kokoro
Hey, what kind of good luck charm are you looking for?
Little Girl A
Do you have one to help with nerves? I have a piano recital coming up...
Kokoro
In that case, I have the perfect brooch for you! This brooch will help you have lots of fun!
Little Girl A
Lots of fun... Um, I just want something that calms my nerves...
Kokoro
I don't really know what these "nerves" are... But your heart feels heavy with worry, right?
Kokoro
In times like that, smiling is the best medicine! If you're smiling, all your worries and fears just disappear!
Kokoro
This brooch will attract lots of fun to you, so I'm sure you'll be able to face your recital with a smile!
Little Girl A
Y-you really think so...?
Kaoru
Greetings, my troubled little kitten. Tell me, what is it that you're looking for?
Little Girl B
I want a victory charm to help me win. I have a basketball game soon...
Kaoru
I see, so you wish to ask for certain victory. In that case, I recommend this gallant Kaoru Seta pendant.
Kaoru
Just looking at it makes courage well up deep inside you, does it not? That is the kind of magic this charm holds.
Little Girl B
... Will it really work?
Kaoru
Of course, I wouldn't lie to a cute little kitten. Now, let me bestow some words of wisdom upon you.
Kaoru
Do not fear defeat, be brave, and step up to the challenge. The goddess of victory will surely smile down upon you.
Little Girl B
... Thank you. I'll do my best to win!
Hagumi
Kokoron and Kaoru-kun are working hard to help customers... Alright, I gotta give it my all too~!
Hagumi
Ah, there are some girls over there. I wonder if they're friends~... Hello~
Hagumi
What kinda charms are you looking for? If you'd like, I can give you some recommendations!
Little Girl C
We want to get matching friendship charms.
Hagumi
Matching ones?
Little Girl C
Yeah, I wanna match with Luka-chan.
Little Girl D
I'd love to match with you, Lika-chan.
Hagumi
I see, so you two are really close, then!
Hagumi
They don't match exactly, but I have the perfect two-in-one straps for you both!
Hagumi
Here, look, look! It's a bear and a rabbit!
Lika
Wow, they're so cute! A pink bear and a purple rabbit!
Hagumi
These charms have a special magic in them. If you both keep one each, you'll be best friends forever!
Lika & Luka
Best friends forever...?
Luka
Hey, Lika-chan, let's get these! We can put them on together!
Lika
Yeah, if you like them too, let's get them! We'll take these two straps, please!
Hagumi
Wow, I'm so glad you like them~! Thanks! Take good care of 'em!
Misaki
Sigh~, things are finally calming down. I'm exhausted...
Kanon
Yeah, but I'm glad everything went well.
Old Lady
You girls really saved me.
Old Lady
I didn't think it'd get that busy so soon... I need to get myself an apprentice, or else I won't be able to run the store.
Misaki
An apprentice?
Kanon
Perhaps she means someone to help make the goods...?
Old Lady
Sorry about this, but could you girls help me out until I find one?
Kokoro
Yes, leave it to us! We'll help make the store smile more than ever!
Misaki
I would say don't make any more promises, but... I guess that ship has sailed, so we don't have much choice.
Hagumi
We can't leave the old lady all alone when the store is this busy!
Kaoru
Yes, it is just as Shakespeare once said, "We should help each other in times of need..."
Kanon
D-did he really say that...?
Misaki
Well, let's just do our best until things cool down.
Transcript
Hagumi
There are lots of customers here today too!
Kaoru
Yes, they are brimming with vitality and fleetingness... It feels as if the store is overflowing with smiles.
Kanon
But it's a little less busy than it was at first. I think the shopkeeper can handle this much on her own.
Misaki
Ah, that reminds me, some customers came in to share some news with us today.
Misaki
They said that, thanks to the charms they bought, good things have happened to them. Like wishes coming true, and problems being solved...
Kokoro
What great news!
Hagumi
Ehehe, I knew that magic clay was the real deal! And that also means we were able to make the magic work properly!
Kanon
Fufu, it would be nice if it truly was due to the power of magic.
Kanon
But isn't it also thanks to the hard work of Kokoro-chan and the others...?
Misaki
Huh? What do you mean?
Kanon
Kokoro-chan, Kaoru-san, and Hagumi-chan have been recommending charms to customers, haven't they?
Misaki
Ah~, they have been doing quite a good job of that, haven't they?
Kanon
Yeah, they've been listening to the customers and thinking about how they can help solve their issues.
Kanon
I just thought... that night be what's pushing the more conflicted customers in the right direction.
Misaki
I see. Your frame of mind probably does have a lot to do with it...
Misaki
Things generally tend to not go so well when you have little confidence or courage.
Hagumi
I wasn't thinking about it that deeply... But if that's the case, then I'm really happy!
Kaoru
There is no greater joy than that which comes from helping others.
Kokoro
Yeah, I'm happy that we can make people smile!
Misaki
But with the number of people coming in to tell us their good news, I feel like we're doing a little too well...
Kanon
Hm? What do you mean?
Misaki
There are too many success stories... Do things really go that smoothly from just a little push...?
Kanon
When you put it like that... D-do you think something magical really is happening...?
Misaki
N-no way, it can't be. I just thought it was a little peculiar.
Hagumi
Ah, a customer! Welcome!
Lika
...
Hagumi
Oh? You're the girl from the other day... Lika-chan, right? You came back! Thanks!
Kaoru
I see. Is she the girl who bought Hagumi's decorative strap?
Kokoro
Hagumi was so happy about that!
Misaki
But that girl looks kind of gloomy...
Lika
... I came to return the strap I bought the other day.
Hagumi
Huh...?
Hagumi
Return it? Why? Isn't it supposed to match with Luka-chan's...?
Lika
We got into a fight, so I don't need it anymore...
Kanon
Wh-why were you fighting? I heard you were very close...
Lika
Luka-chan is transferring schools, and she hid it from me! She's moving tomorrow...!
Hagumi, Kanon, Kaoru & Misaki
...!
Lika
You lied to me! You said this strap would make us best friends forever!
Lika
But it doesn't have any magic at all! You liar!
Hagumi
...!
Misaki
Ah, wait a minute...!
Kaoru
... She's gone.
Hagumi
I put all of my feelings into those straps, but I guess it wasn't enough...
Kanon
H-Hagumi-chan...
Hagumi
That girl was crying... because of me...
Hagumi
Hngh, I'm sorry, Lika-chan... Did I really lie to you...?
