11-year-old Arusu is just an ordinary girl.

She enjoys getting lost in her own daydreams and her greatest...

...aspiration is to become a magician.

Not to mention that she's the kind of girl who thinks school is boring...

But then suddenly one day...

...something flashed across the sky above her, and...

...according to Arusu...

...a world that she'd never seen before opened up before her eyes.

Tweeny Witches

The Witch Realm

Once upon a time, I was a kid like any other...

...heading to grammar school every day with my backpack.

And I'd think, Boy, if only there was such a thing as magic!...

...practically every day it seemed since the real world was such a drag.

No, actually, maybe I believed with all my heart that it did exist...

If you just keep wishing hard for something, miracles happen.

And to prove it, here I am now...

...here I am now, in a place that's got to be a magical world!

What is this place?

Oh, all right, it's just a dream.

Hey! What a sweetie! Come here!

What's the matter? I'm not gonna hurt you! Now, come here...

That's right...

Wanna try my favorite snack?

It's really sweet! Hang on a second, okay?

Here!

You like it?

Wait, if I'm in a magical world, then there must be...

...witches here too, right?

This is a message for you apprentice witches.

Huh?

No way! Is this for real?

You are to hand over the fairies you've captured at once!

Hey!

What?

What the? What the? What the?

What is this? It's got to be a dream!

Oh no!

Captured?

An apprentice witch?

I hear she tried to stop us from capturing the fairies in the Forbidden Forest!

It can't be! You mean...

A witch shouldn't be doing that! Can't you see he doesn't like it?

Anyway, let me out! What did I do to deserve this?

Sheila, aren't you supposed to be taking care of...

...discipline and order in district A?

Don't come crying to us if they end up punishing you for lax supervision!

I'm sorry.

As for that girl's punishment... you're in charge, so I'm leaving it to you.

Just make sure you report to us afterwards.

I'm sorry about this.

I'm sorry about this. Listen! Hey...

Man! What's up with that? You mean they call themselves witches too?

I'd like to ask that myself.

I've never seen you around before, sweetheart.

Sweetheart?

Whose student are you?

Whose student are you? What do you mean? Fifth grade...

I'm asking you where you study magic! Don't mess with me.

Magic? I'm learning on my own.

No way! You too, sweetheart? Guess what... so am I!

Listen, I'd really appreciate if you'd stop that sweetheart business...

In other words, you flunked out, right?

In other words, you flunked out, right? Huh?

You're free to slip through the cracks if that's what you want...

...but some of us are training hard...

...but some of us are training hard... Hey, hold up a sec!

Everything you've said to me so far has been total, 100% gobbledygook!

I mean who are you?

I'm the leader of the district A apprentice witches and...

...also the discipline officer, Sheila!

Why did you enter the Forbidden Forest?

Why did you enter the Forbidden Forest? The Forbidden Forest?

Why did you try to prevent us from capturing fairies?

Fairies? Capture?

Come on, you tried to keep that mina fairy's tail for yourself.

Huh?

We have successfully captured the last of the 100 fairy species...

...the mina fairy.

Very well. I shall let the grand master know.

Yes, ma'am!

The mina fairy rarely shows itself, being one of the most valuable of all fairies.

How did you manage to find it?

Actually, it was an apprentice witch who found it...

Oh? Such excellence must be rewarded accordingly.

And who might this apprentice witch be?

The thing is...

I wasn't sure whether or not I should report this to you...

...but this apprentice witch actually tried to stop us from capturing the fairy.

So she's a rebel. Is that what you're saying?

Let's go!

OK!

Super Delicious Final Attack!

Super Delicious Final Attack! I'm so sorry!

I messed up again!

That's okay. I'm eating chestnuts anyway.

Excuse me. I was watching that!

Excuse me. I was watching that! Sorry!

The Moai statues of Easter Island are on the brink of destruction...

Easter Island?

What's up? Did you see the guy who left you on TV?

Oh! My own daughterjust made fun of me for being...

...an incompetent mother who can't cook and whose husband ran off!

It's too early in the morning for this.

I'll conjure Daddy back here with my magical skills someday, okay?

Young lady, I want you to trim those nails.

Not gonna happen.

It's not like I'm keeping my nails long...

...so I can eat my favorite snack in the world, chestnuts.

Listen up, class. Nobody ever said life was fair.

There are haves, and there are have-nots.

There are those who are strong, and also those who are weak.

It's survival of the fittest, class.

It's because I realized that in a world like this, unless there's magic...

...we have no hope of living happy lives full of smiles.

If you keep getting big red Fs every time we have a test...

Watch out or yourface is gonna turn red too!

Teacher!

What is it?

Is it cool if I use some magic now?

Magic?

Take that!

What do you think you're doing?

I'm gonna get you!

Young lady! Just what do you...

Whoa!

Yamada, you don't have to worry. Everybody's bright red now!

Huh?

I'm taking this!

Hey! Look, you!

You'd better give that back, or I won't give you...

...chestnut chocolates on Valentine's Day!

I mean really... What's your problem anyway?

Hey!

You've got to tell the whole class you're sorry.

Jeez! You're the ones who should be apologizing!

Hey, look out!

What should we do?

She's gone!

She freakin' vanished!

You mean when you woke up...

...you found yourself in the Forbidden Forest?

Forbidden Forest, forbidden fruit...

...whatever it is... but that's what happened.

Hey, listen, Sheila, you think maybe this sweetheart could be...

Is that your answer?

Huh?

All I've heard is nonsense!

If you're not an apprentice witch...

...then are you a fairy? A demon? A tree? A bush?

Hey, that's not cool...

Come on, listen to me, a witch is all about smiles, got that?

Smile... happy face... If you can't even smile yourself...

...how can you use magic to make others happy?

Forget it! Just stay there for the rest of your life!

Is that girl really a witch?

Is it true that where you come from...

...you have nuts that you can actually eat?

Nuts that you can eat?

You mean this?

My favorite snack? Go ahead and try one!

It's so sweet! It's melting in my mouth!

Hey, listen, if you really want to thank me for that...

Huh?

I don't know where she came from, but...

...she's so out of control that we can't possibly look after her.

As leader of the discipline squad, my recommendation is to keep her...

...locked up forever.

No, you're doing it wrong! You've got to straddle it to fly!

Oh, so that is the way, huh? But how can that not hurt?

Who said you could let her out?

Well, you see, she said she wanted to try flying, and besides...

...she gave me a chestnut...

...she gave me a chestnut... A chestnut?

It's a nut, but it's so sweet! It practically melts in your mouth!

Sheila, if you try to be friendlier...

Sheila, if you try to be friendlier... A sweet nut? Don't tell me...

That's right. She's a human girl.

Human?

Whoa!

No way... You can't possibly be a human!

Well, it's a lot more believable than someone like you being a witch!

Then how can you possibly fly when you're just a human?

Didn't you know?

As long as you believe with all your heart, anybody can use magic!

Otherwise, how could I ever come to a magical world?

Even if it is just a dream!

Even if it is just a dream! Hold her down, Eva!

Everything's cool! Everything's cool! After all, it'sjust part of my dream.

I hate to tell you this, but it's not a dream!

I hate to tell you this, but it's not a dream! Huh? What?

I said this is not just a dream!

Huh?

No way.

It's not a dream?

Tweeny Witches

The 100 Fairy Species

It's not a dream?

Don't think so.

Huh? But it's got to be a dream. Or I wouldn't be able to fly!

But you just said... anyone can use magic if they just believe.

It's more romantic if I put it that way.

That's right. It's a dream.

Otherwise a mere human couldn't use magic.

And you wouldn't be here.

And this place would never have ended up like this.

It's not a dream!

What's the matter? Hey!

At last, the day has come for our Witch Realm to be blessed by...

...a mina fairy's tail, right, boss?

...a mina fairy's tail, right, boss? Just chop that thing off already!

Gotcha.

Move it! Move it! Move it!

What's going on?

What's going on? She's coming this way!

What the heck are you doing? Stop!

What's going on here?

Boss, the mina fairy's gone.

Huh?

Not good!

What?

It escaped! The mina fairy has escaped!

I have come with good news, Grand Master.

The fairy issue, I presume.

I trust you will be quite pleased. As of today, with the capture of...

...a mina fairy, all 100 of the fairy species are now in our possession!

The holding facility is under attack! The fairies have...

Man, you should've told me how to stop for crying out loud!

Sorry!

Do you even realize what you just did?

By letting all the fairies go...

By letting all the fairies go... Why are you catching them anyway?

Well, because it's a time-honored magical tradition. Why else?

Oh...

Huh?

Here it comes...

What's coming?

Here it goes!

What's going on?

What's going on? I'm the last person you should ask.

I'm the last person you should ask.

Oh, no! The tower's crumbling!

Start running, Eva!

We're gonna run? What about my broom?

Hold on a minute!

Hey!

Whoa... not good.

We're taking off!

We're taking off! Huh?

What are we gonna do?

What are we gonna do? Um... yeah...

Well, if you hadn't let that girl out in the first place, this never would've...

But listen, Sheila, she's a human after all...

I know I messed up by not teaching her how to stop the broom and all...

...but it wasn't on purpose...

I knew there was something not quite right about this place...

Not quite right?

Not quite right? Those fairies were locked up in cages...

I mean shouldn't fairies be living free in the forest or something?

Right?

Right? Uh...

Wait a minute, you.

You didn't ... You didn't let them go on purpose, did you?

Listen up, this is an emergency. You are to capture every last one of them!

Yes, boss!

Come on, we can't be wasting time like this. Let's go!

Uh, right!

Hey, are you serious?

Help me out here, will you?

I see you still haven't managed to cure yourself...

...of that particular habit, Atelia.

The holding facility has been destroyed!

All 100 of the fairies have escaped!

We can see that.

Yeah, we can see that!

Atelia, what in God's name is going on?

The holding facility is part of yourjurisdiction.

I know. Who is our prime suspect?

I know. Who is our prime suspect? An apprentice witch from district A.

Oh my, but that's yourjurisdiction as well.

Who everthought you'd be betrayed by one of your own?

Execute her! Arrest her right away and execute her!

And just what good would it do to execute her?

Yes, no good would come of executing her...

The entire Witch Realm is in danger.

I don't care if it's the prime suspect or a civilian... All members of the Witch Tribe...

...are to use every resource to recapture those fairies!

lmmediately!

I will issue the order right away...

I will issue the order right away... Just a moment!

What is it?

As members of the Witch Tribe, we have a vested interest in those fairies.

To have fairies in one's possession is to have power.

We cannot allow those at the civilian level to learn of this loss. Otherwise...

...there will be rebels who will try to monopolize the fairies and defy our will.

You're out of line, Atelia!

You're out of line, Atelia! Never mind.

Since you're presuming to speak in such a manner, you must have...

...some alternate plan, do you not?

...some alternate plan, do you not? Certainly I do.

We can no longer afford to leave such a grave matter to incompetent...

...fools unable to control a mere apprentice witch.

I am hereby recruiting the best of our combat-oriented witches to form...

...an elite capture squad to reclaim those fairies.

Just make sure the civilians remain in the dark about...

...the fairies' escape... That's all I ask.

Um... Listen...

I didn't rescue you. I'm going to turn you in as the culprit later. That's all.

Now, now...

Sorry about this.

I don't believe the way you're treating me!

Hey, cut that out!

They finally got free, you know!

They finally got free, you know! Hey!

Oh...

Get out of our way!

Curses!

It's not because the fairies are tools for magic...

...or because it's a magical tradition...

It's not a matter of wanting to capture them or not...

None of that matters to me!

I just want to become a great witch and lead others.

God knows I've worked my butt off till now learning all I can, including magic!

I've even served as discipline officer even though I don't want to.

I can't let something like this bring me down...I can't throw my life away!

No, Sheila! If you use that kind of magic, the fairies will...

I'm only gonna make them faint.

Sheila!

Us fairies have had enough of being manipulated by you witches!

He talked!

It's telepathy.

Today is the day we celebrate our independence!

Crap!

Dammit!

That's why I told you to stop. Capturing fairies like that...

How long are you planning to follow us?

Listen to you. You're hurt!

Just shut up!

Oh!

Oh, wow! It really is a Witch Realm then!

This is awesome! Hey, what's that building?

What is gonna happen to us?

How should I know?

Hey, is this grand master person cool? Does she have long nails?

Just shut up for a second.

Just shut up for a second. I bet she's supercool.

I mean, she's the ultimate witch of witches!

You're the ones who let the fairies escape. There's no mistake about that, is there?

They just escaped on their own...

They just escaped on their own... There's no mistake.

Sheila...

As discipline officer of district A...

...you should know how important that holding facility and...

...those fairies are to all of us.

Of course I do.

And yet you still...

I am very disappointed in you.

I pity you both, but...

...this is your punishment!

What... What did you just do?

That was the Curse of Eternal Youth!

Eternal Youth? A curse?

If you wish this curse to be lifted, you must recapture every last...

...one of those escaped fairies.

Let's go now!

Let's go now! Let's go now!

Just hold on a second!

Sure, I don't like the idea of you guys capturing those fairies...

...but these two did everything they could to try to fix the problem!

But what do you guys do? Cast a spell so they can never grow up?

Isn't that a little childish?

Who do you think you're talking to?

Who do you think you're talking to? You use magic to make others happy.

You use magic to make others happy.

How can you use magic to make people unhappy?

I don't believe this. This has to be a dream after all.

I mean this can't possibly be a magical realm or anything!

Who are you?

Who in the world are you?

Come on, let's go! Without closing our eyes...

Our singing and laughter fill the vast sky.

We're headed for our greatest longings.

There's no wish that can't come true.

Let's just believe and fly away!

No matter how hopeless it seems... If we wish hard enough...

See, it'll turn into magic.

Even the tiniest dream... If it can bring somebody joy...

Let's hope it does.

Hey! DuDiDuWa... We're laughing always, lalala...

Let's sing your song and smile and laugh with me.

The truth is we're all waiting...

...for the world of our dreams.

So we might as well just make one of our own!
