Looking for lost cat.

Ta-dah!

A cat?

Yeah.

I thought I could at least help other people a bit with my magic,

so I had Misa-san construct a cat-searching Code for me.

There!

Huh?

Nothing's happening.

I would think a Code that Misa-san made would have some effect.

Why a wash basin?

I imagine you changed it into that yourself.

I didn't!

The Code did it on its own.

Let me try.

If it's just executing a magical Code on a computer,

I should be able to do it, as well.

I'm just pressing a button.

Y-Yeah.

There.

See?

You're right...

I believe that it's definitely this one.

Yeah.

All I have to do is turn off the power.

Let's go see its owner.

Y-Yeah.

If you have a computer that can execute magic,

then anyone can use Modern-Day Magic.

Misa-san is the one who wrote the Code.

Kaho-chan was the one who ran it.

In the end, I did nothing...

I wonder what I need to do to get better at magic...

I know!

An item?

Yeah!

I want to hurry and improve, to be like Misa-san and Yumiko-chan.

So I was thinking I need an item

like Misa-san's amulet or Yumiko-chan's staff.

I see. And what were you thinking of specifically?

Huh?

Did you decide what item you were going to get?

I haven't yet...

I thought about a lot of different ones, though.

In that case, why don't we look for one after school?

Are you sure? Thanks, Kaho-chan!

I wonder what item I should get...

Kaho-chan, what do you think?

How about the Magma Staff or the Fairy Flute?

Huh?

If you don't understand, that's fine.

Ah, it's you two.

Oh, Yumiko-chan.

I was about to go to Misa-san's house.

Sorry, we're going shopping today,

so we won't be heading to her place.

Th-There's not really any reason to apologize...

Where are you going shopping?

We haven't decided yet.

Yeah, what should I do...

How about Shibuya?

There's something I want to get.

If you're heading to Shibuya, I'll go with you!

Th-There are a lot of people... A lot... A lot...

Morishita, are you all right in this crowd of people?

Yeah, I'm going to find an item.

I have to do my best.

Let's go.

Oh, wait!

It smells like roses!

Wow, they're that much...

That'll be five hand creams.

She has a lot of money!

There are lots of them.

This might be good.

Wow.

What should I do? What should I do?

This is cute!

I wonder if it would look good.

I think you should try it on.

Kaho-chan, could you take a look?

Sure.

It's too big...

What do you think?

I guess God isn't fair.

Look at this!

I decided on him.

It's Mr. Turtle!

I don't think you should call him "Mr. Turtle."

Decided on?

What do you mean?

I thought I'd make him my magical item.

Magical item?

She was searching for an item like you two have,

something like your staff and Misa-san's amulet.

I want to get better at magic so I can be like you two,

so I got this turtle and-

I don't approve!

Do you think Misa and I are good at magic because we use tools?

You're completely mistaken

if you think just anyone can be good at magic simply by having tools.

U-Um... I...

I've misjudged you.

There we go.

It's done.

You should be able to use some Codes now.

Thank you.

Well, Yumiko's just like that.

She'll be harsh at times.

Don't worry about it too much.

Yeah.

She was right, though.

Hm?

Somewhere in my heart,

I thought I'd be able to improve at magic just by getting an item.

I guess you could expect her to get mad.

It's human to use tools.

Sometimes, people learn better with something in front of them.

People are different, so I won't deny that possibility.

Basically, it doesn't matter what route you take.

As long as you reach the same goal, it's okay.

If you don't understand, that's fine.

I believe it's a waste if you don't use all your tools.

Yeah, you're right!

I finally found you after Kaho-chan came with me to look.

I even had Misa-san give you a chip.

I can do it, too, right?

Yeah.

Okay.

The cat-searching Code...

Cat-searching Code!

Morishita?

Let me try one more time!

Looks like I can't do it...

I see. So, you couldn't...

Yeah.

I put a pretty strong Code in there, too.

Well, it's to be expected...

I guess your summoning magic is really strong.

I want to be like Misa-san and Yumiko-chan.

You're completely mistaken

if you think just anyone can be good at magic simply by having tools.

Sometimes, people learn better with something in front of them.

Basically, it doesn't matter what route you take.

As long as you reach the same goal, it's okay.

I want to get better...

There!

One more time!

One more time!

I'll try one more time.

It's impossible.

No matter what they do,

those who depend on tools won't get better.

That might be true,

but this is the only thing I can do right now...

You were only able to use that staff after you'd put in the effort, right?

You learned to be good at magic, didn't you?

I want to be good, too, so I have to practice more.

Why did you get into magic?

Why?

It's not really a reason...

Why?

Um, that's...

Um...

I never had any confidence in myself.

No matter what I tried, I didn't keep going.

Tennis...

Lacrosse...

The flute...

I got into high school and tried different things,

but I just caused people problems.

So I ended up quitting each time.

But...

"If you don't have confidence in yourself,

if you want to change yourself completely...

Anyone can do it..."

That was when I first came into contact with Modern-Day Magic.

If it had to do with magic, I thought I might be able to get serious.

I'm a klutz and slow, but I thought I'd try it.

But it was a lie that anyone can do it.

I have to work harder.

Let's go.

You won't find any cats if you stay here.

Right!

The effective radius of the Code in your backpack is 500 meters.

There's no point unless you execute it where the cats are.

I see.

Hello?

Morishita, where are you?

Um... Ginza.

I'm not sure what area.

Kaho-chan, what are you doing?

I looked on the internet for the cat in the flyer.

If they're willing to go as far as putting up a poster,

then they probably put one up on the net, too.

There was some info.

Thirty minutes ago, someone posted that they might have seen it at a Central Park bench.

It shouldn't have gone far.

I'll head there, too.

Got it. Central Park, right?

Right.

I wonder where it is...

Morishita, Ichinose.

There was another post after that.

Someone saw it around 3rd Street.

That should be within 500 meters!

Hurry and execute the cat-searching Code.

Right!

Morishita?

If you don't hurry up, the cat will go somewhere else!

I got it.

But...

Koyomi, believe in yourself!

You're a mage, right?

That's right...

You're right!

I'm a mage!

They're here.

No way.

He should be here.

Yeah.

There!

It's him!

Let's go home to your owner.

What's up with all these cats?

Call the Department of Public Health!

The Department of Public Health!

Mom, I'm scared!

Are you okay?

There are a lot of them.

Wh-Wh-Wh-What should I do?!

The Code's out of control?

It's also the job of a mage to clean up the magic they use.

B-But how?

Nullify the remaining Code.

Just do what you always do.

Yeah!

Kaho-chan, hold him.

Okay!

There!

Oh, it was just a street act.

You're good!

I did it!

I thought I was a goner when the wash basin fell,

but all the cats started coming out!

I see.

Good for you.

Yeah! Thanks!

I'm going to try harder with Mr. Turtle!

You're still saying stuff like that.

You're nuts.

You're not in middle school anymore,

so enough with the silly delusions.

They're not delusions! It's magic!

And that's what I mean by delusions.

You guys want dinner?

Please!

I'll have some.

Yeah.

And the delusional middle schooler?

I'll have some.

Wait, I'm not in middle school!

Then help me out.

By the way,

about the Code Koyomi executed...

It should have only worked within a 500 meter radius,

so why did I detect it 2 kilometers away?

Who knows? I wonder why.

I see.

Anyway, what I have a problem with

is why that Code went out of control?

The Code in the chip is designed to detect and amplify Codes.

Almost like you wanted to get Koyomi to use her summoning magic...

Really? I see.

I told you, it's magic!

It's not fake!

I'm totally going to give it to Soshiro with my turtle!

M-My turtle...

You're so mean, Katamari!

My turtle!

Women are mysterious.

That goes even more for beautiful Modern-Day mages.
