It's a story from long ago that if we look at the full moon, we transform.
DOGS AND RAINDROPS, PART 2
But nowadays, werewolves transform when we look at any crescent shape.
A werewolf!
We get stronger, more aggressive,
and become a totally different person.
Keigo is a werewolf!
It was such a mystery to me.
Why do I even have these powers?
But that was such a dumb question.
I have teeth, so I bite.
I have claws, so I tear.
I have strength, so I punch!
Is that all you got?
Werewolves are the most powerful after all!
Do not let your guard down.
An ogre's best weapon is not their strength, but their sturdiness.
I think this amount will be good for Kanshi.
I can punch you, right?
Did I fall asleep?
That's right, the attack. I need to let them know.
THE DOGS ARE GATHERING AT KOJO PARK. WE'RE GONNA HEAD THERE, TOO.
From Nico? They're all gathering at Kojo Park.
KOJO PARK
So this is Alert? It's such a terrible feeling.
The warlock must be somewhere in there.
Damn it, Morihito's not picking up.
MORIHITO CALLING
Keigo's not around either, so something definitely happened.
Let's go! It's the Otogi house on the second block!
We're out of time.
We'll take care of this ourselves.
Do you feel disheartened because Morihito isn't here?
Yeah me, too.
Before we realized it, we'd become so dependent on him.
It's kind of pathetic, huh?
I'm worried about your injury. Plus, I mess up all the time, too.
A wounded tengu and a klutzy witch combo, huh?
Yeah. But we have to do it.
We're full of weaknesses, but no matter how small our power,
if we combine our strength, it'll get things done.
That's what Sgt. Punch at Hyoutan Park said!
What would that mysterious old man know?
Mobliviate!
Mobliviate.
While holding a certain pose, this spell will allow your presence to be erased.
Additionally, two people under the same spell can interact with each other.
Our priority is to find the warlock and neutralize them, right?
Do you know where they are with the Alert spell?
Y-Yeah, I think if I get really close, I can tell.
All right, then the plan is simple.
Nico, you'll find the warlock with the Alert's response,
and once we find them, I'll attack.
While moving about, be careful not to touch or bump into anyone.
Okay, it's perfect.
Here we go.
Kan and Nico Channel, move out!
Whoa!
Way too hard!
The wolf's battle has begun. So that means, in this location...
Listen up, Dogs! There's a rat in our midst!
Whoa! Wh-What the heck?
These guys suddenly started swinging! Nico, get away!
Okay!
Doesn't even matter if you're friend or foe, huh?
Did they find out that I cast a spell?
Looks like it.
Guess it can't be helped.
I'll drop the spell and charge in.
If I could use both hands, 50 people should be...
Wait, Kan!
I actually thought of a strategy.
But that's way too dangerous.
Let's do it. Because...
I'm not here just to be protected!
Just fly as close as I can, and go in the direction where the reaction is strongest.
I found you! That's definitely a suspicious looking person!
Kan, at ten o'clock. The afro wearing the jinbei and shawl!
What's wrong with them?
Oho, you expose yourself, but the tengu who's still invisible is coming for me, eh?
But I will expose him as well!
What?
Enchantment magic!
They put magic power in the shawl and are controlling it.
Ouch.
There he is. Dogs, get him!
Yeouch!
Tie his arms! They're done for now.
Yeah, for you!
Division magic?
Yay!
There!
Mobliviate.
My cloak!
Doublit!
We're full of weaknesses...
...but no matter how small our power,
...if we combine our strength, it'll get things done.
The words of Sgt. Punch!
Huh? This person isn't the warlock.
What? Then it's someone else?
No, it's definitely this person.
Then this is the warlock.
No, but it's not.
What the hell are you saying?
Wait, is this the Enchanter?
So small!
What, are you being serious?
ENCHANTER DEFEATED
T-To be defeated like this...
I... I...
I have witch blood flowing within me.
I knew I was a chosen being after all.
Now, I can finally become happy.
Why? I even became a warlock.
So why is my life far from becoming happy?
I can awaken your dormant powers.
My powers?
You'll have to give up something,
but you'll be granted a true witch's power, and your lifespan will also increase.
I don't know who you are, but please do it. I don't want to die here.
And so, in order to obtain a true witch's power, I had to pay a price.
And that's why I'm so small.
That's way too big of a price.
No, no. You have to think about the risks and returns.
Yeah, you should really ask questions and look at the fine print on the contract.
Now you look just like a bagworm.
Silence, all of you.
I was supposed to return to a normal size when this plan succeeded.
Yeah, that's right.
What's this plan that's supposed to capture Nico?
Looks like you're just a collaborator, so who's the mastermind?
I'm not so much of a good person that I'll tell you that—
I mean, do you understand the position you're in?
Ouch! Ow, you demon!
Nico! Kanshi!
Nemu, you came for us.
Where're the Dogs?
The spell's effect wore off, so they all dispersed.
What was I doing?
And that bagworm lady is the Enchanter, I assume?
Shut it.
You knew about her size?
Yes, I found out her secret and wanted to tell you, but she put me to sleep.
But I'm glad everyone's okay.
Oh, where's Morihito?
He disappeared on our way here, along with our friend, Keigo.
I see.
So this Keigo, the werewolf, is your familiar, right?
Keigo is a familiar?
A werewolf?
I think Keigo and Wolf are the same person.
And he should be fighting with Morihito right now.
You will take us there now, Enchanter.
The force from his punches.
The slashing from his claws.
His movement like a wild animal's...
It's like he was born only to fight.
A werewolf, huh?
I thought that lineage had died out.
Apparently it's from my dead dad's side.
Even though he didn't have any powers. It's like reversion, isn't it?
It manifested about three years ago.
You're a different personality, but it looks like you retain his memories.
What's the mental connection between you and your self before the transformation?
I retain Keigo's memories, but Keigo doesn't get mine.
The one who made the pact with the witch was Keigo,
and any work relating to the pact was my responsibility.
MEMO GET CLOSE TO MORIHITO OTOGI.
If I needed to talk to Keigo,
then I'd leave a note on his smartphone ordering him to do something.
Something like get close to them,
MEMO GET CLOSE TO MORIHITO OTOGI. GET THEM TO TRUST YOU AND GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE WITCH AND HER BODYGUARDS
and get information about the witch and her bodyguards.
So that's why you talked to me so much.
You said you retain Keigo's memories, right?
Then let me ask you something.
When you were tricking me, what was going through your head?
Were you laughing on the inside?
I wonder.
I'm not that friendly,
and Nico tells me that I don't have interest in people,
so it's hard for people to approach me.
And it's true. I don't really try to make friends.
So I was actually really happy...
that we became friends.
Shut up!
And then, that time...
...y-you're my friends.
You had tears in your eyes!
I don't know what you're talking about!
You already know, don't you? I won't lose in a one-on-one fight.
So you think you won when you succeeded in splitting us up?
The wolf from children's stories was more cunning.
You're saying that while you're all beat up.
Now, it's over!
Slime Lotion Gel Amoebas!
Looks like you didn't predict that your witch would be defeated.
Ogre Qigong Fighting Style, Lightning Burst!
We're even in a one-on-one match.
But...
I have my friends with me.
Now, it's over.
Damn it.
Nico!
I'm sorry, Moi. I think I used up all my magic power.
What?
Now we both don't have our witch's support.
You weren't using magic power from the candy?
Like I would dope myself up like that.
Let's finish this already.
Keigo, stop! Your plan failed. You don't have to fight anymore!
Listen, Wolf. Hurry and kill that ogre.
If we kill them all, we'll have turned the tables!
What's with the tough act all of a sudden, huh?
I'll put you in a capsule and use you as a golf ball.
Or maybe I could dunk you in some extra carbonated water?
You life is in my grasp, you hear me?
Oh yeah, go ahead and kill her.
I'll die too, though.
A familiar's pact.
The life of the bodyguard is bound to who they're protecting.
You guys don't have an official pact with the Witch of Thousands,
but this is what the sign for a real one looks like.
O-Oh, no...
That's the way of it. You can't kill your friend, right?
And behold how he innocently wants to fight you.
Fighting is a werewolf's innate desire.
They're even.
No, Keigo has the upper hand.
I've been continuing my Ogre Qigong training.
After practicing with Kanshi, I've increased my attack patterns.
But it's hard to predict where he'll attack from, and how I should dodge it.
His movement doesn't have a form.
Moi!
His fighting style focuses on hitting vital points, so its attacks are easy to read.
Morihito's attacks are too proper and precise.
I've already adapted to your cool-headed fists.
Admit your defeat, Morihito Otogi!
And say that you lost to a werewolf's fighting spirit.
I see. So the more hot-headed you get in battle, the stronger you become.
This isn't a manga, you know.
Nico, it'll be okay. Don't worry.
I'm always calm and collected.
I won't get all hot and bothered just because I got bit by a dog.
Ogre Qigong Fighting Style, Dancing Lanterns!
Don't get hot. Calm down, and aim with pinpoint accuracy.
You're only making scratches!
Upper left, bottom right...
Step back, then left.
Then block with the right hand.
Crouch, and then jump to the left.
I see what Morihito's doing.
He's controlling the way Keigo dodges by using his continuous and precise attacks.
And is that how you're trying to drag me to the slippery surface?
I know what you're doing!
Yes, and that's why you dodge to the left.
And that's where you'll get grazed for the fourth time.
From that time...
I told you.
That I have...
Slime Lotion Gel Amoebas!
I need to get you at least once or else I won't be satisfied.
I have my friends with me!
Get him, Morihito!
Ogre Qigong Fighting Style, Death's Wail!
Maybe I got a little too hot there.
You did it!
Morihito!
Moi!
Moi. Moi!
Oh, crap. If I keep going, I'll end up hugging him.
This is so embarrassing. Stop, stop!
M-Moi?
Nico, are you hurt?
I'm sorry, I said I'd protect you and yet...
Don't worry.
Kan protected me, even when he was injured.
And you fought so hard and got all beat up, too.
Thank you, really.
Hug me too, Morihito.
Human-type familiars are the best.
Sorry, I got carried away.
I got a little too hot-headed.
Enchanter, the battle is over.
Release Keigo from his pact.
If I dissolve his pact, then you'll kill me.
The werewolf is my hostage.
Ms. Enchanter, we won't do anything to hurt you, because we're both witches.
I don't really understand witches and warlocks.
But I can ask my mother if there's a peaceful way for you to live in the witches' village.
I just think it'll be wonderful if us witches could all get along and talk to each other.
Maybe talk about things like when we mess up a spell, or how bad we failed at something.
Why is everyone there a klutz?
I think witches also have their own problems as well.
We should share and come to understand each other.
So please, can you tell me about this plan that involves capturing me?
You cheeky little girl...
The mastermind behind the plan is...
The mastermind's name is...
What? What's happening?
Her body is...
...returning to normal size?
I want to tell you...
The... seal...
Her magic power was stolen?
Is this a spell that activates when information is about to get leaked?
Keigo!
I'm alive.
Keigo!
The sign of the pact is gone.
When her magic power got stolen, it must've negated the pact.
Ouch.
Keigo!
Are you all right?
That damage must be rough for your body.
My magic power restored a little, so I'll cast some healing...
No, don't. Please don't do that.
I did something unforgiveable.
Yes, I won't forgive you.
Until you tell me everything.
This space will soon disappear.
Let's go outside and talk.
Okay now, start talking.
In a bathhouse? And not at some bench or something?
The rules say that after guys fight each other,
we're supposed to wash each other's backs in a bathhouse.
There's no such rule. What kind of old-timey adolescent drama is that from?
I can't handle those kinds of macho thoughts.
Right, Morihito?
I found heaven right near my house.
He's getting healed the most.
When he becomes an old man, I feel like he'll really get into saunas.
Well, I think it's a good idea to wash away the dirt and grudges.
You guys aren't mad? I deceived all of you.
- Yeah, I'm mad. - I'm pissed!
You were mad.
Let's hear it.
Your goal was to fix the wound left from that accident, right?
Yeah, that's right.
Scrub, scrub, scrub!
And now, I have another bubble dress once again.
I've always wanted to be in a scrub-off like this with a friend.
The Enchanter doesn't have a cure-all medicine?
It's a custom, so I'm sure you have one,
but that medicine is made from a witch's umbilical cord when they're born.
I see.
So the Enchanter who wasn't born as a witch probably doesn't have one.
So she was lying to Keigo?
I'm sorry this had to happen to him.
So, I've been thinking about something.
I think I'd like to have Keigo use my medicine.
What? But for you, there'll most likely be a situation where you'll need it.
Even after defeating the Enchanter, the sigil on that paper didn't disappear.
The dire prophecy is still active and continuing.
Yeah, but I think it'll be okay.
Because Moi and the others are strong.
You sound quite confident there.
MAGAMI
Mom, I brought my friends over.
Thank you for having us!
- Hey there. - Thank you.
Welcome!
I'm so glad that Keigo invited his friends over.
So that's what this is about.
Did you know about this, Nico?
I had a feeling that Keigo wouldn't make a pact for his own greed.
If it's my goal to use magic for other people, then I want to help them.
This is my friend, who's a witch, and then an ogre and tengu.
What kind of introduction is that?
I won't be surprised by that now. My son is a werewolf, after all.
I guess having a monster in the family makes it easier to accept this stuff.
My injury is already healed, and it doesn't affect me anymore.
The reason I quit figure skating
is because if there's a chance the werewolf's powers could affect my body,
then I thought it would be unfair as a competitor.
Besides, I'd been thinking about quitting for a while already,
and then the accident happened.
My wish is for my mother.
Because she drove me to the venue, she...
Please don't think like that. I said I'm doing fine.
Here you go, Keigo.
Mom, this is a magical medicine.
Thank you.
Nico... Thank you.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for deceiving you.
Oh, I'm so glad.
I'm so...
I'm so happy for you.
That day, Keigo's mom made a delicious feast for everyone,
and we all got rowdy and it was so fun.
Moi was in a great mood the whole time, too.
We'll have to start repaying this kindness.
It's fine, I'm happy with just this gratin.
Keigo's the one who did it, so he should repay it.
What? How?
Something like buying me a juice box everyday during lunch time.
I'm just your gofer.
Perfect for a puppy.
I'm a wolf!
Then please, use him as you wish.
You're moving in?
The thing is, since Mom's leg got healed,
she restarted an overseas work project that she had given up on.
So, instead of being by myself, she'd feel much better if I was with you guys.
So she went and talked to Morihito about it.
If he becomes Nico's bodyguard, then I have no reason to oppose.
If there's any way I can help, then I want to repay your kindness.
If you're okay with it.
Of course I'm definitely okay with it!
Am I allowed to put pushpin holes in the walls?
I tend to immediately buy postcards that I like.
Also, what's the internet situation here?
I prefer to be directly plugged in instead of using Wi-Fi.
Gosh, he's noisy.
Oh yeah, sorry if my subwoofer gets too loud.
You should keep that down!
What the hell is this?
There's a witch, an ogre, and a werewolf. What kind of haunted house is this?
You're one to talk, you tengu.
Yeah, I'm a tengu! Tengu are saviors of justice!
And so, Keigo Magami has joined the Otogi household!
Keigo has moved in!
Congratulations!
Oh, I'm Keigo Magami.
I've always had my eye on the ending song's aooo, and I'm a big fan of "Red Park."
Enough of that already.
With this episode, we've finished the first cour,
NEXT EPISODE KEIGO MAGAMI, THE WEREWOLF KIND TIGER, PROUD WOLF EASY SPICES FOR ENTHRALLING COOKING
but we're continuing to the second cour next week.
Enough of that, too.
