Flying Witch (ふらいんぐうぃっち)

It's so good!

Yeah.

We should bring Nao-san next time.

Totally!

Yeah.

The Regular Customers

I'll go park the car.

Okay.

I'm home.

Welcome home, Anzu.

Thanks.

Are there any customers—

What's with the mask?

Oh, sorry.

Café Concrucio

Were you okay on your own?

Yeah.

Anzu, we have customers.

Already?

He's early today.

Did he get the usual?

Oh, no.

It's not him.

It's so good!

Can I get another one?

I don't know about that.

You eat like a vacuum.

A growing girl must eat!

You're just a glutton.

They're new customers.

Yeah.

I think the girl with the long hair is a witch.

Really?

I don't know her.

She might be the new witch who recently moved to town.

Right.

You two are close in age,

so maybe you should go befriend her.

Yeah, I'll go say hi.

Welcome to our café.

Would you like any refills on your tea?

Could you be the witch of this café?

Yes, I suppose I am.

Hello! It's great to meet you!

Yes, it's nice to meet you, too.

My name is Makoto Kowata.

I moved here in April as a witch.

Ah, so you are the witch.

These two are relatives I'm staying with.

That's Chinatsu-chan and her brother, Kei-kun.

It's nice to meet you.

Likewise.

I'm Anzu Shiina.

The pleasure's mine.

Wait...

If your name is Kowata, do you know Akane-san?

Yes, Akane is my sister.

I see.

My sister told me you're quite the witch.

It would be an honor to learn from you.

I'm really not.

Oh, please don't be so modest.

I can sense an aura emitting from you.

Like you'll do something extraordinary.

What?

Well, anyway, please enjoy your stay.

Thank you.

How was it?

Oh, so that's what's happening.

She's mistaking me for my mom.

I see.

She did ask for the owner earlier.

Then can you tell Mom when she gets in?

I'm gonna go prepare this.

Did you find good ones?

Yeah.

They're bigger than last week's.

I think he'll like it.

So she's the master witch.

She's younger than us, isn't she?

No way.

It would be difficult to change the appearance of a building at her age.

I think she's changing her appearance with magic as well.

Seriously?

I've heard that some witches use magic to look young like putting on make-up.

What? Wow!

I'd love to try that!

You're already young enough.

Then do you think she's actually a grandma?

It's possible!

She did look dignified.

I'm home.

Welcome home.

Sorry, Hina, for making you watch the shop.

Not at all.

Excuse me.

Yeah?

A new witch is here as a customer,

and she wanted to see you.

Oh, is that so?

Excuse me.

Where is the restroom?

Hello there.

Are you Shiina-san?

Yes, that would be me.

Shiina-san! Shiina-san!

Yes?

Is it okay?

Your magic has worn off.

Oh, are you talking about the café?

Don't worry.

It goes back to the old look a little while after people go in.

No, that's not what I mean.

I mean the height, the age...

I think you're taller than before.

Hina.

I can't find the plate.

What plate?

The red one.

I want to use that one.

Oh!

That's on the top shelf.

Th-There are two of you!

Two!

Two!

How?

Magic? Ninjutsu?

Are you okay?

It's done!

All right.

Time to go try it out.

Kenny.

So that's how it is!

You thought I was Anzu.

I figured.

I'm terribly sorry.

I didn't realize you had a daughter.

You're so funny.

You two look alike!

Really?

How was our cake, by the way?

It's the best cake I've ever had!

Oh, that's good to hear.

Did you hear that, Hina?

Good for you.

Did you make it, Miss Ghost?

Yeah.

Her name is Hina.

She's shy.

By the way, Shiina-san...

Yes?

How long has this café been around?

For about two hundred years.

Two hundred?

Yeah.

It's been hosting people from the other side for centuries.

The other side?

As in ghosts and stuff?

That's right.

That's why there's a spell on the building to keep normal people away.

Does the Harbinger of Spring come, too?

Yes, he does.

I'm surprised you know him.

I'm an apprentice witch!

I see.

What does he like to eat?

He stopped by the other day with some good mandrake,

so Hina made tea with that.

Oh!

Did you give it to him?

Yes!

It was detoxed really well.

Hina said she could get the sweetness out easily.

Sweetness?

I've only ever made bitter mandrake tea.

Hina has her own special method.

That's cool.
