Little Witch Academia (2017) s01e21 Episode Script
Wagandea
1 How to get in contact with Luna Nova? Yeah.
If you know their number, I'd appreciate if you could tell me.
I need to talk to Kagari Atsuko.
What's this now? Have the seeds of love finally sprouted in your barren heart? What are you talking about? She left her hat in my car, so I simply wanted to inform her before she starts missing it.
Aw man, how boring.
Unfortunately, the witches are on a different network than ours.
I see.
Why don't you deliver it to her in person instead? I could, but I get the feeling we'll meet again soon enough.
She always appears when you least expect her.
No goal! No goal! No goal! The results of that soccer match have escalated into this? Their country's always had underlying enmity brewing.
So this is an outlet for their pent-up discontent.
It looks like some of them are only in it for the entertainment.
I think so too.
They're using the opportunity to go wild.
Look.
This is No Goal Wave.
People can vent their anger over the other country there.
Their userbase has been exploding recently.
Guess I should start up ER "ER"? Emotion Refresh.
It's an app with some sort of healing effect.
It feels like everyone's been using it lately, what with this tense atmosphere in town.

Oh I don't want to miss a thing Starting from here kono basho kara Little Witch Academia I can't believe you not only brought Diana back, but also unlocked the fifth Word along the way.
It surprised me too! And now there are only two more Words left! You've finally reached the sixth Word.
How do you read it? Lyonne.
That's it? It's short! Lyonne is one of the most precious words there is.
Only those who understand its true meaning can see the light at the end of their paths.
Professor Ursula, do you know what that Word means? Aren't I always telling you that you need to realize each Word's value in your heart to release its magic? I know, but still It feels like I'm this close to Chariot, and I just can't wait any longer! Chariot made it up to the next Word too, right? Yes.
Lyonne What could that precious word be? I can't find it anywhere, that Lyonne! I can't find it if I look, but if I don't, I can? Why are the Words so complicated? Akko.
Wh-What? I guess even you use the library sometimes.
Of course I do! You got a problem with that? Not really.
Then what do you want? Thank you.
You brought Diana back.
Yeah I figured we owed you some thanks.
You think so? I just went and did it on my own.
But you did what we couldn't.
I'm grateful to you.
Thank you.
Um You're welcome.
That's all we needed.
Bye.
Oh? Did you come to the library to study, Akko? Is it really so strange to see me here? Are you doing research on the Words? That's right, but I can't find any clues at all.
Professor Croix, have you heard of "Lyonne"? Lyonne That was the sixth Word Chariot found, wasn't it? It was! I've heard that Chariot uncovered it in Wagandea.
Wagandea? This is The legendary tree, Wagandea.
Chariot once climbed its length and learned the sixth Word.
Chariot did that I want to climb it too.
You can't.
Why not?! Chariot climbed that tree, didn't she? It's not a good time.
Wagandea will soon open its buds and release its pollen.
The pollen contains a potent toxin.
If a witch comes into contact with it, she will lose something forever.
Lose something forever? I knew you would have wanted to go right away if I had told you, so I kept it a secret.
Who did you hear this from? Professor Croix.
From Croix?! How long will that pollen stick around? A few weeks on the shorter end, but it's a few months on the longer.
In some exceedingly rare cases, it could potentially be around for several years.
That long?! But those occasions are nearly unheard of, and about a month would be average.
In any case, you should wait.
If I leave right away, couldn't I make it before the pollen is released? It's too dangerous.
It could already happen at any moment.
Please, Professor! At least let me go and check out how it looks! Akko! Didn't you learn to be patient? Even if the road is winding, you must work hard at what you can do now.
That is the kind of witch you must become.
I cannot take you to Wagandea until you are a witch worthy of the Words.
Professor Ursula's such a worrywart.
She's always so timid and nervous.
How am I supposed to take her seriously? Don't say that.
She's just worried about you, Akko.
Besides, I agree that you shouldn't rush ahead into danger.
But in the worst case scenario, I'll have to wait years to go! That's way too long! But doesn't that hardly ever happen? Don't you know how strong my luck is? I'm guaranteed to always pick the short straw! Not sure you should be proud about that.
It's better to regret something you have done than something you haven't.
Sometimes, you just need to be brave and step up! There's a fine line between bravery and recklessness.
Witches deluged by Wagandea's pollen lose their ability to use magic as well as the power to ever fly again.
Although your inability to fly remains a mystery to this day, if you continue practicing, you may still learn how to do it eventually.
You don't wish to lose even that possibility, do you? It's in your best interest to heed Professor Ursula's warning.
Her words were as harsh as ever, but I do get the feeling that she was sincerely concerned for you.
She's gone soft.
I see.
Is that how Professor Ursula phrased it? Yes You even told me all about the Wagandea tree But something's fishy.
The pollen release should still be a ways off.
Huh? Professor Ursula can be a bit of a scatterbrain sometimes, so perhaps she misunderstood something.
You think so? Seeing is believing.
How about we go see for ourselves? Are you serious? I'll take you to Wagandea, if you so wish.
What's the matter, Alcor? Croix took Akko?! Say, Akko.
Yes? Why are you gathering the Words? Huh? Once they are all gathered, the Grand Triskelion will be released.
What will you wish for when you obtain the power of world reconstruction magic? U-Um, to be honest, I'm not really all that good at thinking about difficult things.
Oh? My biggest reason for chasing after the Words is really just to meet Chariot.
You want to meet Chariot? I feel like as long as I keep finding the Words, I'll get to meet her eventually.
You like her that much? Yes! There's so much I want to ask and tell Chariot once I meet her! And the very first thing I'll do is thank her! I see.
Don't worry.
I'm sure you'll meet her soon.
Right! For sure As I expected, we still have time before the buds open.
Really? Yay! But that makes it all the stranger.
Huh? Why would Professor Ursula try to stop you without checking it first herself? Because Perhaps there was some sort of reason why she wanted to prevent you from climbing it.
There are some things about her I'm suspicious of.
What do you mean? She says she was classmates with Chariot, but I have no recollection of a student named "Ursula".
I-It must be because she didn't leave much of an impression! Not everyone can stand out like Chariot.
That may be the case.
Either way You should be wary of her.
What? She might be hiding something from you.
Something very important.
She was just worried because of how dangerous it is here! I'm always doing stupid things.
You'll need to climb under your own power without using any tools or magic if you want to learn the Word.
Are you prepared to do that? I am.
I swear I'll make it up.
Little Witch Academia Akko Are you there? Croix! This brings back memories.
Do you remember, Chariot? Back when we first came to this forest.
I remember it all too clearly.
I will never be able to forget.
I swear upon the Nine Olde Witches! One day, I will release the seal on the ultimate magic! I'll become the world's greatest witch! I also swear it! I want to bring fun to all.
I want to make everyone in the world forget their sadness and hatred with a smile! It can't be The time has come once more for the staff of seven stars to choose a master.
It chose Chariot? Why not me?! Chariot, you must revive the seven Words with that staff.
No Croix! Don't stop me! You're scared, Croix.
You're scared of Akko getting her hands on the Grand Triskelion.
Scared? You might be able to knock Akko off course, but you can't get the Grand Triskelion.
You should understand that! She hasn't got the slightest clue about what it means to obtain the Grand Triskelion.
The staff erred in choosing its owner, just as it did before.
Well, not that it matters.
I have no more need for that staff.
Do you want to know why I don't simply leave her alone? It's because she is your last hope of a dream.
I won't give up I swear I'll climb all the way up! What?! Professor! Come back, Akko! Hurry, grab on! No! I made it this far already! You were wrong! Professor Croix told me the pollen is still fine! No, I'm telling the truth! The flowers above us are already opening! You can't go on! Are you saying that Professor Croix lied to me? You don't know what she's really like.
Turn back, Akko! I saw it myself! The buds are shut tight! The pollen isn't going anywhere! Akko, please! Why won't you let me go?! You don't understand how desperately I want to meet Chariot! I don't care about the Words.
I just want to meet Chariot! That's why I've done what you said and collected all the Words! So why now?! Why are you telling me to stop?! Akko.
Croix! I'll convince Professor Ursula.
Hurry up and go.
Thanks, Professor Croix.
Wait, Akko! Croix, move! I don't think I can do that.
You're not going anywhere.
Give up already! Chariot! Wake up, Chariot! Croix Chariot Chariot! The pollen will be released in only a moment.
You'll never make it in time.
Give it up.
I'll protect Akko.
No way That's enough! I won't lose.
I'm going to meet Chariot! I'll become a witch like Chariot! I have to go.
The pollen! No! It's all over Akko! I'm begging you please don't steal her future! Professor Ursula?! Akko Are you hurt? Professor, I'm so sorry I I said such horrible things to you But you still saved me I'm sorry I'm so sorry Croix Not me It was it was supposed to be you Why did I Accept it, Chariot.
You were entrusted with it.
You'll be the one to get the Grand Triskelion.
I'm the one who needs to apologize.
I might've just been pushing my wish onto you.
I wasn't thinking about your true feelings at all.
That's not true! You didn't force me to do anything! It was my own decision to gather the Words.
I've gone through so much, and experienced so many things, but I haven't grown one bit! I never meant to say that to you! You've always come to my rescue, always been there for me, so I What I really wanted to say was Thank you.
Lyonne.
That's it that's what Lyonne means.
Accept it, Chariot.
You were entrusted with it.
Lyonne.
Not a single person has ever seen the top of Wagandea.
Wagandea has no end.
Akko.
You've grown so much.
I have no need for the Shiny Rod or the seven Words.
I will use the most forceful method I can think of, take the seal on the Grand Triskelion And break it.
