Someday's Dreamers (魔法遣いに大切なこと)

Shibuya Station

In this city, the sun is broken. The sky is small.

And there are no mountains.

All I can see are grey buildings...

and waves of people...

Ow!

Ouch, ouch!

Are you ok?

Are you hurt?

You want to cross the street, right?

Then, here...

Uh... Excuse me...

Look out!

- Whoa! - What's happening

- What in the world? - Look at those cars!

Gently... Gently...

I didn't know that cars could fly so high...

Did you do that? Are you a mage?

I'm just a trainee, though.

Wow. This is my first time to see a mage.

Huh?

Then... Why don't you cross the street by your Power?

Um. A token of thanks...

I don't want a token of thanks.

But...

Good luck with your mage training.

Uh...

At Platform Number 2 the doors are closing. Please step back.

Platform #2, for Shimo-Kitazawa...

Um... Let me pay you back with my Power.

I said I don't need anything.

Whoa! Ugh! What's this? What's this!

You want to see the owner of this bar?

Yes. I'd like to see Oyamada Masami-san

Are you a mage? A trainee?

Yes, I am

Really.

You look more like an applicant in serious trouble.

I'm sorry to bother you.

Well, I'm "Kera".

Kera-san? That's an unusual family name.

My family name is Katoh

Then, Katoh Kera-san?

My first name's "Go".

Huh? He's not here.

Then, I wonder if he's home.

- Then, I wonder if he's home. - Oh?

Thanks for your hard work.

- Thanks for your hard work. - Ah, Owner!

Owner?

Oyamada-san?

Yes...

Oyamada Masami-sensei?

Yes, I am. Who are you?

I can't believe it! You're not a female teacher?

Female?

Because of my name, I'm often mistaken for a female.

Ugh...

- Ugh... - Watch out!

Hey, are you all right?

What's wrong?

What are you doing?

- What are you doing? - Are you all right?

Uh... Um...

Clothes. Please put some clothes on!

Huh?

Oops!

Owner, your nipples are exposed!

Yours, too, Kera.

A guidebook?

Yes. The guidebook that the Bureau of Mage Labor sent you.

Do you like gum?

No. Well, I thought I should buy something when asking for directions at train stations.

So you asked four times?

Yes...

Hmm?

Nothing... I just thought it was beautiful...

When you register at the Bureau of Mage Labor tomorrow,

they'll give you one, too...

Uh... Um... yes.

How do you do, Kikuchi Yume-san, from Tono City, Iwate Prefecture.

Welcome. I am Oyamada Masami, a mage training instructor.

How do you do?

I'm sorry about earlier.

Not at all.

Kikuchi-san, you're the daughter of Kikuchi Etsuko-san, right?

You know my mother?

I've heard that your mother is a very distinguished mage.

Well, I'm flattered. But she does not use her Power anymore.

Is that so?

Uh, please have some juice.

- Uh, please have some juice. - Yes.

The daughter of that legendary mage... I wonder why she was assigned to me.

Tomorrow we go to the Bureau of Mage Labor for temporary registration

What you'll do for the training is assist me.

Once you settle in, you'll take mage actions on your own.

Finally, you'll take a certification test.

Yes.

The training starts tomorrow. You must be tired today.

You may go to your boardinghouse.

Could you tell me your cell phone number?

I don't have one. Our house is "out of area."

Then please tell me the phone number of your boarding house.

The application said the teacher's house is available for boarding.

and I thought my teacher was female, so...

Oh, I see. So my house is the boardinghouse. I missed that.

What shall I do?

That's fine.

- That's fine. - What?

Boarding is available here.
