Episode Title:
Witch's Return
Episode Description:
Morihito Otogi, a member of an ogre bloodline, learns that his childhood friend Nico Wakatsuki is returning home from witch training. It is ultimately decided that Morihito will live with Nico as her familiar and bodyguard. Nico arrives at Morihito's house and is eager to show off her newly learned magic spells to him. She cast a spell to turn herself into paper, but is accidentally blown away by the wind and trapped in a crevice between two walls. In order to save her, Morihito taps into his ogre powers and demolishes the wall, with Nico repairing it with her magic. Morihito then advises Nico not to use her magic in public, but she explains witches are oathbound to help others. They then come across a burning building and rescue a trapped woman, though Nico's spell to make her and Morihito lighter backfires when it wears off and temporarily makes them heavier. As Morihito and Nico prepare to start living together, Morihito recalls his father warning him that Nico's mother divined a prophecy that disaster would befall Nico within a year, and only Morihito will have the power to protect her.
