Flying Witch (ふらいんぐうぃっち)

Oh?

Stop requested.

Ooh!

Chito, look at that!

It's April and there's still so much snow left.

Hah! It's cold!

Looks good... I wonder if it would be okay to eat it.

Makoto?

Ah? Huh?

I knew it was you.

Long time no see.

Oh, is that really you, Kei? It just can't be!

You've grown up so much I could hardly recognize it was actually you.

It's me. Why are you standing there holding a snowball?

Uh... Well, this is, uh...

No reason, really.

Hey, Chito.

How have ya been?

Wow! You've grown a lot too.

Are you here to show me back to your place?

Yeah. I remember you get lost easily

I thought it would be best if I just came to pick you up.

You didn't have to bring that up, Kei.

It was such a long time ago.

Well, let's go. I can't wait!

It's been so long since I've seen Chinatsu!

Makoto! My house isn't that way!

Huh?!

Hey, Chinatsu.

Huh?

Hmm. How are you doing?

I'm fine... thanks.

It's been a while, Chinatsu.

Do you remember who I am, sweetie?

Uhh...

My brother's girlfriend?

No...

Whoa! Ah! It's a cat!

Chinatsu, I doubt you'll remember. Huh?

After all, you were only three the last time the both of you met.

This woman, she's your real mother.

Huh?!

Mommy!

No! That's not true! I'm not your mom!

Is she a freeloader?

No. Let me introduce you to Makoto Kowata.

She's gonna live with us.

She's one of our relatives; a second cousin in the family.

Hmm?

It's nice to meet you again.

Oh! Is this the person that Mom was telling us about earlier?

Yeah, that's right.

The one who always gets lost?

The same one.

Well, this is your room over here.

Looks like all my boxes arrived.

Uh... Yeah, but don't you think this is too much stuff?

Not at all! This is completely normal for a girl my age.

Is that so?

Mm‐hmm!

I'm gonna go get lunch ready.

Come on down when you're ready.

Alright!

Yeah, I'm a bit tired as well.

How are you doing with all this, Chito?

Yeah.

Well, you've always had such good stamina.

By the way, I'm going to go shopping later.

You wanna come with me?

I swear, you're such a homebody.

You'll get fat again, you know.

Well, do you want me to buy you anything?

Brother!

Did you give her the futon?

Uh‐huh.

But, I...

Yeah?

How long is she staying with us?

Hmm...

I don't know all the full details about it, but I guess...

until she's full‐fledged to go.

What do you mean?

Is something bothering you?

Well, no, but...

I get the feeling she's a dangerous person!

Huh? It's just that...

I heard her talking to her cat, and I thought that she‐

Oh, smells good. Eh!

Are you making curry?

Yeah, it's just leftovers from yesterday.

Curry always tastes better when you let it sit for a day or two.

What about Chito?

Oh... She's dieting again,

so she isn't bothering with lunch today.

Huh?

What's the matter, Chinatsu?

Uh!

Uh...

Huh?

What's with her?

Huh? Hm!

(News anchor talks about weather)

Huh? Hm!

What's wrong, Chinatsu? Are you okay?

Everything is fine. I'm just watching TV.

But the TV is over there.

It's been an unseasonably warm day...

Oh! I almost forgot...

Hmm?

Is there a general store or something nearby here?

Let me think...

There's a home improvement center not far away.

What are you gonna buy?

There's some everyday stuff I still need.

I was thinking of going and getting all that.

All those boxes and you need more?

Yes!

Ah, well that place is a bit far.

You might get lost if you go on your own.

Come on, I'll be fine. No need to worry.

How far is it?

Twenty minutes by foot.

Oh. I actually might get lost.

I'll just have Chinatsu take you there.

HUH?!

Is that alright with you?

It's fine. Huh?!

You said you were free today.

Did I say that? But what about you?

Well, I've got some things to take care of, so I can't go.

Makoto isn't very familiar with the local area, show her around a bit.

Alright. I'll do it if she promises to buy me some donuts while we're there.

Watch your manners!

It's fine. I really don't mind doing that at all.

Let me buy her some donuts for all the trouble.

Hold on!

I want to have delicious donuts too!

Beautiful. It sure is nice around here.

This place puts me at ease.

It makes time feel like it's going by slowly.

Where did you come from, Makoto?

Hm? Do you mean my hometown?

Mm‐hmm.

I come from a place called Yokohama.

Have you heard of it?

Yes! I know Yokohama!

It's over in Tokyo, isn't it?

Well, it's very close to Tokyo.

Wow!

This place is huge!

Chinatsu, to avoid getting lost, don't leave my side for a second.

Who's getting lost?

Let's see, I still need... uh...

I want this one!

And this one for my big brother!

Those look to be pretty high in calories and fat.

Chito is going to be so jealous of us.

So, which one?

Ah, I really like this one!

You do?

This one is tasty, too!

Hmm, it's hard to choose.

Is it delicious?

It's super yummy!

Oh, look!

There they are!

I guess they keep them outside.

Would you mind holding this for me, Chinatsu?

You want a broom?

Yep. Huh?

You never know when having one might be needed for where you're going.

Hmm... Hmm...

Hmm...

Wonder if this will work...

Oh, no! I better watch it. Little too high.

Hmm...

Um... I guess these bamboo ones are a little finicky.

Maybe if I use it more, it'll adjust.

AH?!

Huh?

Your relative is staying at your place?

Yep.
