Amane the Witch

Screenplay: Chiaki Konaka

Director: Takuya Igarashi

It's Mysterious Magical Fun Fun Pharmacy, get in line.

Okay, we'll go on a walk once it gets a bit cooler out.

Another really hot day...

Huh? An umbrella?

Nothing beats a nice stroll through the skies on a hot day.

Shuka shuka!

It's amazing how cool it is up here.

Everyone should become witches so they can experience this.

What was that sound?

Get outta my way!

Get outta my way!

Outta the way!

Outta the way!

Hmm, who is it?

Up above!

Up above!

Above?

She's flying.

I said get outta the way!

You can't just fly out of nowhere and tell me that!

Just get outta the way already!

Already!

Pinch!

This is the first witch I've seen other than Miss Fukiko.

But...

Of course there were other witches out there!

If I see her again I'd like to have a proper chat.

What was with that way of flying?

Way of flying!

Flying with an umbrella... You pretending to be British or something, huh?

And using a wind spirit like that. How insolent can you get?

Insolent! Insolent!

Err...

Miss Fukiko?

She's the daughter of an old friend of mine.

I'm Amane, and this is Mane.

Mane.

Oh, call me Potpourri!

My real name is Nishino Kaori, but I like my nickname.

Why are you so roundabout?

You could just as well have left it at "I'm Potpourri."

Potpourri! Potpourri!

Sorry...

Err, so you're a witch too, Amane?

What else flies around on a broom?!

I don't think we'll get along too well...

Just who is this girl, Miss Fukiko?

She's pretending to be a witch even though she's clearly not from a witch family.

Pretending! Pretending!

How mean!

I may not be be from a witch family, but I'm still a witch!

The nerve!

Oh dear...

Potpourri is a witch apprentice.

There's no rule that says someone from a non-witch family can't become a witch.

Isn't that right, Amane?

Oh. Are you even listening?

Hey, that hurt!

Huh?

Huh?

What?

You two have something in common...

You both always have an animal with you, don't you?

You don't even know about that?

A witch is always together with her favorite animal!

But looks like you don't have one!

And you're still a witch?

I...

I...

Oh, I do have Pinch, Shibu and Rick!

Grim and Laluu too!

They're all my friends!

Magic is my friend!

H-H-How impudent!

Impudent!

Now now.

Amane came a long way for her errand, and all by herself too.

So please try to get along.

You came alone?

That's right.

I'm a proper full-fledged witch after all.

Not just an apprentice like a certain somebody.

That may be true, but...

You got a problem with that?

Oh dear...

Apprentice she says... How impertinent.

Impertinent! Impertinent!

Your flying didn't seem that great though.

You're at fault for floating around right in my path!

If you're really that good, wouldn't you have had no troubling dodging me?

So if you're that bad...

Maybe I'm better at flying, even if I'm just an apprentice.

W-W-W-Way out of line!

If you're going to go that far, fine, we'll make it a contest!

A magic contest!

Magic?

Why would you shout about magic in front of everyone like that?

Because you kept provoking me, duh!

Duh!

Well you were no better!

Whatever, I'm gonna show you once and for all who's better at magic!

We're going to see which one of us can show off the most amazing magic, okay?

Show off! Show off!

Amazing magic?

I wonder if my magic is amazing...

Well my amazing display of magic is certainly going to be quite a shock for you!

Lightning, lightning...

Come forth!

COME FORTH!

Th-Th...

That's all?

What's that supposed to mean?!

Okay, my turn next.

Aren't those those seeds Miss Fukiko always makes?

I can't use magic without these.

Well, you are just an apprentice.

We'll just have to allow it.

My magic...

Magic, magic, come on out!

Nikka nikka!

Hi there, Rick!

Nikka nika!

Talking to her magic... How silly.

Nikka!

Rick, please get rid of this rain cloud!

Nikkanikka, nikka nika!

Thanks, Rick!

So what do you think, Amane?

My magic is a little amazing too, right?

Nikka nikka!

Wh-Wh-What the heck? Don't think you'll win that easy!

Okay, this time I'll show you something even more amazing!

We're still doing this?

Yeah we are.

Flames, flames, deep red flames, burst forth!

BURST FORTH!

What's up, Rick?

Nikkanikka!

You don't know?

Light spirits and fire get along well.

Along well!

With this...

H-Hey, Mane!

Mane!

Huh?

Nikka nikka!

Rick, aren't you my magic? Why'd you go off on your own like that?

Nikka!

Gone.

Mane, where'd you go?

Mane!

He'll probably return soon enough anyway, right?

That's not it, I need Mane to—

Need Mane to what?

I can't handle dogs.

Why? Look how cute they are!

Hey Potpourri!

Pet shop guy!

Mane!

U-Umm...

I take it this is your parrot?

Yeah.

It's a really cute parrot.

Th-Thank you...

Don't mention it.

Okay.

So your magic is powered by Mane?

Guess that's out in the open now...

In the open!

Well your magic disappeared the instant Mane left.

I can't actually use magic without him around yet.

My magic is much stronger when Niboshi is with me too.

But I still think you're more amazing than me.

What?

You flew all the way here all on your own after all!

You should come visit again sometime, Amane!

And Mane too!

Mane! Mane!

You don't have to repeat what she says.

Don't have to repeat.

Hey.

Yeah?

You wanna follow me up there for a bit?

You know...

This was my first time going this far on my own.

It was?

But that's still amazing!

Amane?

So keep your eyes on me till I disappear,

Potpourri!

She finally called me by my nickname!

Bye bye, Amane!

Let's play again sometime!

I won't lose next time.

Well neither will I!

hitoribocchi hitotsu wasurerateta ki no mi

A lone fruit, from a forgotten tree.

furikaette futatsu kinou fuita kaze yo

Turn around and there's two, with the wind from yesterday.

mikazuki ni mittsu omoide o uta

Three with the crescent moon, singing of reminiscence.

Fourth is joy, of that small life.

yorokobi o yottsu chiisakatta inochi

One day, it will be told. One day, gently.
