Lessons in Farming and Magic.Episode Description:
Makoto wants to start a garden to increase her knowledge and connection with Nature. Uncle Keiji says she can use the plot behind the house, which has not been used since his mother passed away. It is full of weeds, so Kei and Chinatsu offer to help pull them up. After a while, Makoto spots a pheasant and chases it around the garden. She references "The Tale of Momotarō," who is accompanied by his faithful monkey, dog, and pheasant. Across the world in Africa, Makoto's sister Akane decides to take a break from her world travels to visit Makoto and her Aomori cousins. Akane teleports to the Kuramoto farm and greets everyone. She hands out very odd gifts from Africa. Akane criticizes Makoto's laziness in spellcasting. Akane teaches Makoto a spell to summon a wild crow, using a black hair from Chinatsu. Makoto practices the spell, but accidentally makes it too powerful by using her own black hair. The hair of a witch is very potent, so it summons a whole flock--a murder of crows. Akane says the birds will disperse, eventually. Akane teleports away, leaving them to deal with the birds.
