Magic is dangerous?

Magic, which can, when used by even one person, make so many people happy?

As long as you continue to think that way, I won’t teach you magic.

Never.

Translation by Shinsen-Subs

During countless nights,

ikusen no yoru ni

幾千の夜に

each time I would think about you,

anata wo omoeba

あなたを想えば

I’d feel sad the road our loves tread on

kono koi no yukue

この恋の行方

would only miss each other

surechigai setsunai

すれ違い切ない

As I raise my eyes to the window,

furiyamanai ame

降り止まない雨

and see the unstopping rain,

mado kara miagete

窓から見上げて

the tears overflow in my heart as well.

watashi no kokoro ni mo namida afureta

私の心にも涙あふれた

But in the gaps between the clouds dancing in the sky

sora wo nagareru kumo no sukima ni

空を流れる雲の隙間に

light gently shines on me, as if the sky were smiling at me

hikari sashite sotto hohoemu you ni

光差して、そっと微笑むように

On that tree-lined pathway we both walked down

futari de aruita namikimichi

二人で歩いた並木道

in the cherry-blossom-colored season,

sakura iro no kisetsu no naka de

サクライロノキセツの中で

feelings of joy and merriness came together.

hashaida fuzakeatta omoi kasaneta

はしゃいだ、ふざけ合った 想い重ねた

The rain has now stopped falling on that tree-lined pathway

ameagari aruku namikimichi

雨上がり歩く並木道

and the season is colored by cherry blossoms.

sakura iro no kisetsu no naka de

サクライロノキセツの中で

We now walk and climb the stairs

kaidan nobotteku

階段上ってく

believing in our goal, our love…

ai no GOAL wo shinjiteyuku

愛のゴールを 信じてゆく

Seasons that won’t come back

Well then, I’m counting on you for the rest, Nii-san.

What, you work as a trainee at the infirmary again?

Even though it’s supposed to be summer vacation, you sure are busy.

Well, more than a regular student.

Oh, as for lunch, I thought of leaving it in the fridge for you,

but, since Sakura’s back, you should just invite her and have lunch outside.

Sakura, I’m truly grateful towards you!

Hey, now.

But are you really alright with this?

If you leave me alone with Sakura

just what kind of embarrassing things will I have to go through?

Aw, that’s not true.

And no matter what happens, I’ll turn a blind eye to quite a lot of things.

After all, Sakura-chan also hasn’t seen you in two years.

Ah… I guess things do change.

Nii-san?

W-What?

Nothing. I was just wondering how you spent your time

while Sakura-chan and I were gone.

Well, that’s…

Well, there has been quite a lot…

Oh well.

I’ll be on my way.

Yeah.

Oh, ’morning, Aisia.

Oh. Have a safe trip.

There, all done.

Jun’ichi Asakura’s special blend.

Having some once in a while is a good thing, isn’t it?

What’s wrong? Have a drink.

Oh. Okay.

It’s true, you weren’t there, back then, Aisia.

And now, you, Nemu and even Sakura…

It’s become so lively, all of a sudden. It makes everything look as if that was only a lie.

Jun’ichi.

Hmm? What?

What happened, two years ago?

Why did Sakura-san leave Grandma’s house like that?

Well, that’s…

Does it have something to do with Sakura-san making the magical cherry tree wither?

Sakura told you?

She told me that magic was dangerous.

That was why she made it wither.

But why?

About that…

Well… let’s just say that something terrible happened.

I can’t explain it fully.

Sorry.

I see.

But, er… Sakura knows a lot more about magic than I do, and

she did inherit Grandma’s magical powers.

That’s what she decided after giving it real thought and worrying a lot over it.

And I do think, even now, that she was right.

W-Well, for now…

About magic, I guess Sakura’s got her own idea about this.

She must have had a particular reason for refusing you as her disciple.

So please, at least, understand that she’s not doing this to pick on you, or anything.

Right?

Yahoo! Onii-chan! Let’s play!

Oh, talk about the devil.

Well, since that’s how things are

we’ll talk about this later.

Oh, Jun’ichi!

Hey, now! You’re no grade schooler,

so don’t go yelling in front of people’s houses – Huh?

What’s with that outfit?

What’s wrong with it?

Isn’t a yukata the normal thing for summer in Japan?

And this time, I came from the front door, so instead of saying that, congratulate me!

As a reward, you’ll date me for the whole day!

How about it?

With you dressed like that?!

That’s embarrassing!

Once upon a time,

there was an island that was famed for its cherry trees that wouldn’t wither.

Well, it’s not that old a tale, it was the case two years ago…

Two years ago,

thanks to the power of this magical tree in Hatsunejima,

many mysterious things happened.

Oh, but of course…

You don’t know about what happened then, Aisia-san.

So that’s why I withered it.

Because magic is dangerous.

Now, all of Hatsunejima’s cherry trees have become normal cherry trees.

Magic is dangerous?

But what on earth happened two years ago?

Why did Jun’ichi?

Still, you sure haven’t changed, Sakura.

Don’t you feel like going to some place more flashy?

If I’m with you, no matter the place, it’s the same!

And,

I really love the old fashioned Japanese style.

“Old fashioned Japanese style”, heh?

You’re worried about Aisia?

Hm? Oh. Well, a little.

I dunno where she went, but she really looked depressed.

It’s all right, it’s all right.

She’ll understand, sooner or later,

if she really has the spirit of a real wizard.

But…

London Magic Academy…

I remembered about it as I was thinking about her.

That’s where Grandma met a woman coming from Northern Europe,

and became best friends with her.

Northern Europe?

Yeah.

After graduating from the Magic Academy, they returned to their home countries,

saying both of them had grandchildren, now.

That must have been us, Aisia and I.

Oh. I had no idea. London Magic Academy.

Is THAT something you should be concerned with?!

Er, no.

Really… Huh?

You didn’t know about this either?

Well, after all, my family line didn’t inherit Grandma’s power.

There wasn’t much talk about magic at home.

I see.

Well, it’s not like I know a lot about the Magic Academy either.

After telling each other that they finally had grandchildren,

they did stay in touch for a while, but…

After a while, I stopped hearing from her.

Cigarettes

Candy

Iwanaga Shop

I still remember clearly that she said this with sadness in her voice.

Stopped hearing from her, heh?

Well, that was to be expected, I guess.

Oh, nothing. It’s just that Aisia told me

she travelled through Northern Europe from village to village with her grandmother.

From village to village?

To make more and more people happy, or something like that.

She admires her grandmother so much,

so she’s doing her best to make people happy with her magic.

Is that so?

Well, that’s what you would expect from my grandma’s best friend.

Aisia’s grandmother did understand what magic was too.

What is that supposed to mean?

Never mind, never mind.

She has inherited the blood of such a brilliant wizard.

It’s not a big deal right now, but she must understand what I meant soon, or…

Oh, if it isn’t Miss Aisia.

Oh, she’s gone out on a walk?

Yes. She did mention something about a nature painting assignment,

and she invited Miss Madoka along.

And Miss Amakase is with them since this morning.

With Miharu?

Whaa! So cold!

Hey, hey, how about you guys come too?

If I did, I wouldn’t be done with my assignment.

Wah, a crab, a crab!

Sis’, hurry up, hurry up!

The offer for the special summer Nabe will only be available to ten persons!

I wonder what we will get…

I can’t wait.

Even Tamaki…

A pure heart resides in a healthy body!

Everyone, let’s train our body and heart by running around this island.

Fight!

Yeah!

Sensei, hurry up! We don’t have any time left!

If you don’t finish it in 30 minutes, this time, it will be dropped!

I wanna eat a fruits pie without kiwi!

It was so good!

“The world’s mystery! It’s Hibagon!”… I was so moved.

Just WHAT was so moving? That was just a plain fraud.

And it was a waste for me to come with you.

Don’t be saying that, Kudo! What did you think?

Okay, okay. I got it…

There’s no one.

No one… No one will tell me what happened…

I… I… What should I do?

Oh, look, look! That’s sooooooo cute!

Eeeeh? Just what is cute in that?

What does Professor Koyomi think of her sense of esthetics?

Uh? Oh. Well…

Aren’t people well off with their own sense of esthetics?

If even you, Kotori, say it like that… Even I would lose my confidence.

Sorry, sorry.

But it sure has been a while since the three of us have been going out like this.

After all, for the last two years,

our dear Kotori did spend most of her time into God-knows-what “Support Unit”.

Er… Sorry about that.

Now, now. It’s not like we don’t know how you feel about it, Kotori, so never mind.

Still, that Asakura-kun sure is cold!

I know Nemu-san came back, but still…

he’s completely abandoning you, when you’ve been by his side and supported him!

Miku!

So what? I’m just telling the truth!

Hey, now. Just think a little more about Kotori’s feelings.

It’s because I do that I said that.

Well, the three of us are together again now.

Thanks to that, I’m quite happy with it.

Why, you!

Aww! Don’t pinch me like that!

Kotori!

Kotori…

Aisia-chan?

Uh? You want to know about what happened two years ago?

Yes. Jun’ichi won’t tell me anything.

And it’s just now that no one’s at home.

Two years ago… Well…

But, I’m glad I could find you, Kotori.

Right, Kotori?

Sorry. Actually, I can’t explain what happened then clearly, either.

R-Really?

Why won’t anyone tell me anything?

I’m the only one not to know.

What happened two years ago, or why Sakura says magic is dangerous.

Or Jun’ichi’s real feelings.

If only, at times like this, I could read people’s hearts.

Don’t you think so, Kotori?

That way, we wouldn’t have to worry like this.

T-That’s…

But… It’s…

not such a good thing.

That’s true, if you could read people’s hearts, you would know everything.

You could avoid disagreeable things, and anticipate what the one you love would want.

You would never worry or get hurt.

I also used to believe this, for a long time.

Believe? Huh?

But one day, I realized.

I wondered if the “me” that would always care about how she was seen,

who would display a smiling face to everyone, was the real “me”.

Kotori, then you…

Then the tree Sakura’s grandma planted,

while wishing for the happiness of everyone living in Hatsunejima…

The cherry tree’s magic tried to answer Kotori’s feelings too!

Huh? But…

It was then,

that Asakura-kun appeared before me.

With his honest and true heart, he’d always be true to his feelings as he saw me for who I was.

It’s thanks to him that I could also be true to my feelings.

That I could be my true self.

That’s why I love Asakura-kun.

That feeling didn’t change at all these last two years.

But… But… Kotori’s feelings…

But, back then, Asakura-kun already had someone much, much more important to him.

That was Nemu-san.

Even though they love each other, they lived together as siblings,

and held back their own feelings for a long time.

They overcame many obstacles, and ascertained their feelings two years ago.

It’s because I know what happened two years ago,

that I don’t want to be a bother for them.

Because I love Asakura-kun,

I want to let him find happiness with Nemu-san.

Don’t you agree?

But… That’s weird.

That’s weird!

Nemu alone having her wishes fullfilled, Kotori not having her wishes fullfilled!

But… that’s…

That’s weird!

Just because they overcame many obstacles, or something.

Or because they’ve been living together for a long time…

I don’t want to see anyone giving up on their feelings just because of that!

After all, magic is something one can use to make many people happy!

Everyone must be equally happy!

Aisia-chan?

Something’s weird.

Two years ago.

That’s it!

If everything could be the same as back then.

It would be the same.

No one can stand between these two.

Everyone must… Even Yoshino-san.

Everyone must have understood this.

Sakura. Sakura!

So that’s what it was!

The magic that affected Hatsunejima two years ago must have been imperfect somewhere!

Onii-chan!

Onii-chan!

Onii-chan!

Even though she had that magic to help her, because her own wishes didn’t come true,

Sakura did…

If… If I could make this tree’s magic into something perfect, then

everyone’s… my own wishes might come true!

The gentle sun feels like a bubble floating and falling

yawaraka na hi ga toki ni maichiru utakata no you

柔らかな陽が 時に舞い散る 泡沫のよう

You were there in the future that bloomed that day in my heart

boku no kokoro ni ano hi saita mirai kimi ga iru

僕の心に あの日咲いた未来 君がいる…。

The day we passed by each other, we sang out our combined feelings

surechigau tabi ni hi kasaneta omoi wo

すれ違うたびに 重ねた想いを

to the sky, in this poem dedicated to the dawn

sora ni kanadeyou akatsuki no kono uta wo

空に奏でよう 暁のこの詩を

Ah, this path goes on forever,

aa owarinaki kono michi wo

終わりなき この道を

and we will never doubt it or stray from it

mayoinagara mo tokineru koto wa nai

迷いながらも 途切れる事のない

We’ll embrace that love

ai wo dakishimete

愛を 抱きしめて

The cherry blossoms are falling gently, carried by the wind…

sakura kaze kara koborete shizuku

桜風からこぼれた雫

and I want to watch them forever… together with you.

nee zutto issho ni mitsumeteitai

ねぇずっと一緒に 見つめていたい

The two wizards

Say, Nii-san?

Don’t you think Aisia is weird, lately?

I thought she was really depressed, yet she left home full of energy.

And she never comes back home until late at night.

Oh! Could Aisia have made some bad friends?

Oh my! What should we do if Aisia becomes a delinquent?

Huh? “Just leave it to Sakura-chan for now”?

Why, Sakura-chan?
