Magician.
Episode Description:
Lost in thought, Neko demands Ryōta to keep her witch identity a secret. In a flashback, Kuroneko waits for an ocean trip with Ryōta, but never got the chance. The next day, Neko is absent so Ryōta's homeroom teacher asks him to give Neko a pamphlet. Following the address, Ryōta witnesses several Self-Defense Force vehicles passing down from the mountain. He finds Neko, who is living in an abandoned village that serves as her hideout. Neko says she only transferred to prevent certain deaths. She explains how she and other witches experimented at a top-secret lab until they escaped from an accident. Ryōta could not help but be interested in Neko and runs back and into the house that Neko is staying in. Entering, he finds a young girl, who Neko introduces as Kana Tachibana. It is revealed that she is unable to move or speak due to being paralyzed, though she can communicate with a small keyboard. Learning Kana's ability is foresight which allows her to see future deaths, Kana tells Neko that the lab security has captured a fellow witch, Kanade, who is shown to be executed back at the lab. As Ryōta leaves, Kana convinces Neko to go to school. Ryōta comes over again, with bread and sweets to give. He asks Neko if she would come on the school field trip taking place on the next weekend.
