## Magical Teacher [01]

    Ah-kun: Where am I?
    Ink Nijihara: The duck talked!
    Ah-kun: What? Where? Where? For real? What are you talking about? There is no duck in sight.
    [She shows him a mirror]
    Ah-kun: Ah, a duck. A duck?!
    [He faints]
    Ah-kun: What's your name?
    Ink Nijihara: Ink Nijihara.
    Ah-kun: What a strange name …
    Ink Nijihara: Huh?!
    Ah-kun: My name is Arks Sheldart Elbyas.

## I Don't Need a Rival [02]

    Sumi Kuroi: It's all your fault. This time I'll accept your challenge as a rival.
    [She stumbles and falls over]
    Ink Nijihara: Are you all right, Sumi-chan?
    Sumi Kuroi: Remember this!
    Ink Nijihara: So what'll happen after collecting all these points?
    Ah-kun: I can return to the magic kingdom.
    Ink Nijihara: What? Really?!
    Ah-kun: Yes. So work hard for my sake.
    Ink Nijihara: I get the feeling I'm being manipulated …
    Ah-kun: Don't think too much about the details. Here, I bought you a cake. Eat it!
    Ink Nijihara: Thanks!

## Great Scare Tactics [03]

    Nao-kun: [describing Ink] She is … you know, she is … very short. She's already a high school student, so why is she so short?
    Magical Teacher Pastel Ink: W-well, that's …
    Nao-kun: Speaking of which, you're pretty short too.
    Magical Teacher Pastel Ink: I'm just fine the way I am!

## The Idol Within Time [04]

    Ink Nijihara: This is Alice-chan, and this is her hit single, "English Words for Love".
    Ah-kun: "English Words for Love"? That's a pretty outdated title for a song.
    Ink Nijihara: It's got an 80's feel to it, right? Not that I'd know much about the 80's.

## A Little Memory [05]

    Ink Nijihara: Interrogative sentences usually begin with the same why-question. You can find them here. See, isn't this fun?
    [Little Sumi starts crying]
    Ink Nijihara: Sumi-chan?
    Little Sumi Kuroi: I don't get English!
    Ah-kun: [reprimanding] You can't teach a child such complicated material!

## The First Date [06]

    Nao-kun: [in Ink's dream] It makes me very happy to be with you like this. The blue sky … the beautiful you … this meaningless duck … and me!
    Ruriko: Do I make myself clear, Ojou-sama? You are stupid enough as it is. But if you don't learn to study, you'll magnify your idiocy, and turn into a mega … no, giga … no, more than that … a tera-class, high-capacity idiot!
    Sumi Kuroi: Ehh?! Really?
    Ruriko: Yes, it's the truth.

## The Targeted School Festival [07]

    Alice Shiratori: I'll cut to the chase. Arks, I'm here to test you! I want to see you reveal your true nature!
    Ah-kun: My true nature?!
    Ink Nijihara: Isn't he a true pervert?
    Ah-kun: Shut up!

## Trouble [08]

    Rina Tanaka: Remi! The truth is … the truth is … I … there is a reason why … I was wearing makeup.
    Remi Suzuki: It's okay, you don't have to tell me. Everyone has a secret or two.
    Rina Tanaka: Remi …
    Remi Suzuki: It's all right, our friendship won't fail just because of that.
    Rina Tanaka: Remi!
    Remi Suzuki: I'm sorry that I asked something weird.
    Rina Tanaka: [embraces her] Remi!
    Remi Suzuki: Rina. Rina …
    Rina Tanaka: [crying] You are … you are … such a good friend!
    Remi Suzuki: Rina …
    Rina Tanaka: Look at this … this …
    [She points at a zit]
    Remi Suzuki: Acne?
    Rina Tanaka: This is embarrassing for me, but … actually, even after I took care of the acne, it wouldn't go away.
    Remi Suzuki: So you tried to hide it with makeup?

## The Wind... Flows [09]

    Sumi Kuroi: [thinking] I just rang the doorbell. What should I do? What should I do?
    Ink Nijihara: [comes outside] Huh? Sumi-chan, what's wrong?
    Sumi Kuroi: Uh, you see … it's nothing!
    Ink Nijihara: Huh?
    Sumi Kuroi: This is … uh … a ding-dong ditch!
    Ink Nijihara: A ding-dong ditch?
    Sumi Kuroi: Th-that's right! It's just a impulsive prank!
    Ink Nijihara: [smiles] I see, it's a prank.

## Forbidden Time [10]

    Ah-kun: Ink, something terrible has happened!
    Ka-kun: The Magical Kingdom is collapsing!
    Ink Nijihara: Wait. What are you talking about all of a sudden?
    Ah-kun: The truth is …
    [He whispers "gunja gunja gunja gunja" in her ear, Ink is shocked]
    Ah-kun: That's why you have to lend us your power!
    Ink Nijihara: Okay, but … I don't know what "gunja gunja" means.

## Don't Give Up, Examinee! [11]

    Sumi Kuroi: It's obvious looking at your face that you're worried about something. Talk to me.
    [Ink says nothing]
    Sumi Kuroi: Don't give me that! I'm telling you to talk to me!
    Ink Nijihara: But …
    Sumi Kuroi: Geez … how irritating! Ahem. We are … uh … "friends", right?
    Ink Nijihara: Eh? What?
    Sumi Kuroi: [exasperated] I said we are … "friends" …
    Ink Nijihara: Uh … I can't hear you.
    Sumi Kuroi: [angry] I said that we are friends!

## Skip [12]

    Pen-san: We are your opponents.
    Muni-san: We'll join, too.
    Dandy: Ah! They are …
    Mio Tezuka: What is it?
    Dandy: Pen-san and Muni-san, who appeared in the original. But since the anime staff thought that Ah-kun was enough, these characters were left out!
    Mio Tezuka: Oh, so they are useless characters …
    Dandy: Leave them to me!
    [He performs a Dandy King Blaster]
    Pen-san and Muni-san: [burning up] We finally appeared and it's already over?

## The Supreme Ruler at the End of the Century [13]

    Ka-kun: I'm your opponent!
    Mio Tezuka: Ah! Ka-kun!
    Alice Shiratori: He's a different Ka-kun from this world.
    Ka-kun: Here I come!
    [He transforms into Karks]
    Mio Tezuka: [swoons] He's unexpectedly cool!
