Episode Title:
Trick or Treat.
Episode Description:
Akane starts teaching Makoto witchcraft. Chinatsu asks Akane to take her as an apprentice and make her a witch as well. Chinatsu asks her parents for permission, which they give easily. Akane is still reluctant, because people who are not naturally born a witch have to work very hard. Akane proposes to show Chinatsu what it's like to be a witch, so she can make an informed decision. The children and Nao take the bus to the forest at the foot of the mountains. Akane is jet-lagged, so she stays home to sleep. Kei selects a good spot to pick ostrich fern fiddle-heads for snacks. This is Nao's first time picking greens in the woods. She is afraid there may be bears. When a frog hops on Nao, she screams so loud, the hidden forest bear runs away. When they get home, Kei cooks up the fern snacks. Akane shows Chinatsu and Makoto a "Trick or Treat" magic spell, using some snacks, one makes the eater cry and the other laugh. Makoto ends up crying, Chinatsu laughing, while Uncle Keiji--who eats both--simultaneously laughs and cries.
