Original subtitles

It's so high!

It's filled with spider webs and dust though!

This is the top floor? What a small and cute shed!

This is the first time entering such a big mansion...

So they have a piano, huh...

The story that's just beginning (Story)

It sparkles with light

The show must go on

Let's raise the curtain

In this day and age

A single flower in this world is starting to sprout (Flower)

On sunny days, even on rainy days

It will bloom with pride

I'm dreaming of that day to come

Everyone surely has their own future they wish for

One day, 3, 2, 1, we'll spread our wings! (Take off!)

Welcome to the wonderful world of Luminous (Luminous)

Music filled with light, let it reverb to the sky!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Luminous (Luminous)

Let's sing the melody that will put a shine on everything!

The show must go on

Let's raise the curtain

Sure, sure! You can use our land as much as you want!

Thank you very much.

Now that Witches are here in this village, we don't have to fear the Neuroi anymore!

Well, about that... We're not a fighter squad, so...

Ah, I'm sorry... So you're a training squad?

Actually... We're a band squad, so...

Band squad?

Yes...

So you won't fight?

There are Witches who don't fight too...

I see.

So it's like that, huh...

I'm sorry, I don't really know much about it, so...

Well, it's common to think of fighter squad

when you talk about Witches after all.

I understand that it's not going to be an easy job.

To make people realize the need for us, in these times.

I'll do everything I need to, as a member of the band squad.

Hey, Aira.

The cookie we got as a souvenir, they're delicious, right?

If you don't have any opinion about this, just keep your mouth shut!

(Episode 3) (A kind light)

I wonder what Ginny is doing right now...

She should be taking the Britannia Air Force entrance exam by now.

Do you think she'll end up joining a battle-oriented squad?

That's not something for you to worry about, right, Inori?

But really, I wonder what we can do as a squad that's not battle oriented...

Yeah... What kind of things does the band squad do anyway?

I'm fine with anything as long as I'm getting paid.

If it's behind the scenes, I'd do anything.

You're not going to sing?

Hold on! Everyone, you need to have more self-awareness!

Once Miss Aira is back, we'll start doing special practice, okay!

Today is your first day, so we'll handle 2 people each for the lesson.

I didn't know I'll be singing too...

Just accept it already.

Here, here, here, here!

I want to be guided by Miss Aira! Please!

We'll decide by lottery.

Alright!

I did it, Miss Aira!

Stop laughing!

(Grace's group: Inori, Silvie)

(Erie's group: Mana, Joe)

(Aira's group: Milasha, Maria)

As comrades who are going to be guided by Miss Aira, let's give it our best, Maria!

Yes, let's work together.

Match the melody, one, two...

That's nice!

Amazing! Can you go higher?

You're really flexible!

Mana can go further, you know!

Was my toe always this far...?

It feels as if it's not my own body...

You're slacking off too much!

What an honor!

To think that Miss Aira would teach us the basics by herself!

What you guys need is a training for your stamina!

Maria is bad with Strikers...

Here, hold my hand.

Thank you...

What are you doing!?

Fly on your own!

But, Miss Aira, it seems like Maria is bad with Strikers...

Yet you call yourself a Witch!?

Stop it and release her hand already!

Yes!

Aileron roll, followed by a Chandelle...

And then a Slice back...

That's a flight diary? It's pretty detailed, huh...

Milasha, you're not going to take notes?

I'm fine. More importantly, are you okay?

You're swaying around...

I thought the ground was shaking,

but it turns out it's Maria that's swaying, huh...

Just sleep early. We still have training tomorrow after all.

Alright, I have a meeting, so I'm going to London now, okay!

Master!

You guys are doing great,

so just look after Erie and the younger girls.

Alright...

Teach us, okay!

I'm starting to have fun now.

I'll be back by tomorrow night!

We're going to meet up in the hangar.

Are you okay? Did you sleep well last night?

It's always like this...

But, I'll give my best, Frocke...

Miss Aira, this is too intense!

Why can't you even do this much?

And you still have the gall to call yourself a Witch?!

Pull up straight, then twist, continued with a full-speed dive...

Maria!

Maria is trying her best!

But, some things won't get better just by giving your best!

Why am I saying these things to Miss Aira...

I'm sorry, I'm a failure as your subordinate...

Wait, Milasha.

I'm the one who's not suited to be here.

Erie. I leave the rest to you.

Why...

Why did it turn this way!

You shouldn't fight...

Could it be that we're in danger of disbanding?

I'll be moved again, huh...

I have to find a new place to work...

Hey!

Everyone, long time no see!

What?

Eh?

Ginny...

What's wrong, everyone?

Nothing!

Ginny, that uniform...

So you managed to get into the Britannia Air Force.

Where are you stationed in?

I can only receive magical waves,

so they said I don't fulfill the requirements to be a Night Witch...

Then, you're joining a normal squad?

Besides, I've never used a Striker before, so they told me to practice here.

Ginny... No way...

We'll be together, you know? Inori, aren't you happy?

I am! But...

We're not in the mood to celebrate it at the moment...

Well, now Ginny is here anyway, so let's continue our practice.

Are you crazy?

But, Aira told us to continue after all.

Well, that's true, but...

Wait, now that you mention it, where are Aira and Maria?

About that...

Those 2 are fine. More importantly, let's do it, Ginny!

Yeah! Wait, do what?

It's obvious, right? The lesson!

Alright, then today, let's go to the village.

Why did it come to that?

Because you're making that face.

I don't understand...

A practice to appear in front of other people.

That's the training?

That sounds fun!

Our performance differs when people are watching, or not, after all...

Wait, actually, I don't think I should appear in front of the public...

I'm bad with being in the center of attention too...

Me too, I wanted to apply as a backstage staff...

Let's try it out, Inori, you too.

I'm sure it'll be fun.

Okay... If Ginny said so...

1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6, 7, 8!

Now pose!

Next!

1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6, 7, 8!

1, 2, 3, 4...

Alright, next!

Everyone is so stiff, huh...

It feels like we went here for nothing...

1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6, 7, 8!

Hey!

Ginny, let's continue!

1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6, 7, 8!

Hey, you guys are Witches, right?

Yeah, that's right.

You can fly into the sky?

Well, kind of?

Amazing!

Bye bye!

Take this.

Thank you.

Everyone, welcome back.

Maria!

Are you okay now?

Yeah, somehow.

Seems like Aira was watching over me all the time.

It's time for dinner.

Just leave it there.

If you're worried about it, why don't you just come to them?

(1941, Galia, Front line hospital)

Damn...

So you're here...

It's time to sleep, you know.

My magic is not coming back...

I can't go back to the front line like this.

You need to let your familiar take some rest too for now.

Yeah, you're right...

I'm sorry, Fin...

I wonder if music can really save people...

Who knows...

Ah, it's just Moffy...

Rio! Okoge!

Be kind to the newbie, okay!

Ah, Aira.

I'm going to run some errands in the village.

You're going to walk?

I'm about to take out the car too, you can ride with me.

Thanks for waiting, Ginny.

I was putting on some compress, so it took some time...

Ouch!

Milasha.

Miss Aira!

Awkward!

We overdid it yesterday,

everyone's muscle is aching today, so the lesson is canceled.

I see. I'm going to buy some medicines.

How about you?

Let's see...

It's nothing!

I see...

There's no way I can say that it'd be awkward if I meet with Miss Aira in the mansion,

so I decided to follow Ginny on her errand!

Say something, say something, please say something on your end, Ginny!

Ah, right!

I couldn't get into the fighter squad, so I ended up joining the band squad.

From all the things you can say, why the heck did you pick that!

I see...

Don't you feel frustrated?

You're born as a Witch, yet you can't be useful to others...

Yeah, is it normally like that? It seems like I'm a bit different.

You're quite a strange girl...

Milasha, what do you think about it?

When will you stop talking so friendly with Miss Aira?!

Ouch!

What a weird girl.

Excuse me...

Second Lieutenant Linnamaa, right?

Yes...

Are you not going to do it today?

Today?

I heard you were doing some singing practice here yesterday...

My granddaughter really enjoyed it.

So today she kept pestering me that you might come here again.

Just a short while ago, the Neuroi attacked somewhere close to this village.

We managed to let the kids evacuate,

but the village got real silent, so it's pretty sad.

Thanks to the Witches, they pushed the Neuroi back, and the kids returned, but...

It didn't go back to how it was before...

And then, it seems like watching you sing here was really entertaining for them...

It's been a while since I saw them smiling like that...

Smile, huh...

I'm really sorry for showing you such disrespectful behavior yesterday.

I'm really thankful to you...

No, I didn't do anything...

You're a Witch too, right?

You're different than the Witches from yesterday.

You're different, but you're still a Witch, right?

Miss... Are you a Witch that sings?

No, actually, I...

Hey, please sing again!

Yeah, I'm a Witch that sings too.

It was really hard to meet with Miss Aira again...

I'm glad... But it was hard...

Then should we walk home?

A soft breeze passes through the sloped roofs.

The white sunlight is playing around, gleefully.

Even now, when I close my eyes,

the wooden town where I laughed and cried, will welcome me back.

The flowers of the season, with their sweet smell,

open up the memories of past days.

Along the brick walls, we sang, danced, and talked merrily.

I wonder if everyone is doing fine now.

It's everyone! Heeey!

Ginny!

Milasha, and Aira too!

It was pretty boring, so we ended up flying around the village with the Strikers!

Everyone helped Maria too, so I can fly now!

That's right!

Ah, the centrifugal force is too strong...

Hey!

Why aren't you flying straight?!

Don't pull me!

They're shining!

How beautiful!

What a badly formed formation...

You guys do smile as if you're really having fun, huh.

No way!

But, Aira is smiling too!

Is that so?

When I can't fight anymore as a Witch, I thought I've lost everything.

And yesterday, I brought out that frustration onto everyone...

That was such an unbecoming attitude for a leader.

I'm really sorry.

I don't really understand, but I'm glad Aira has cheered up now!

Aren't you a bit too worked up?

You don't need to be so sorry, Miss Aira!

I won't forgive you.

That song is supposed to be for Aira and me...

I wanted to sing together.

There's no other choice at that time...

Cheer up, please?

I don't care!

A lot of things happened when I wasn't here, huh...

But well, everything ends up well.

This is...

Aira's song from the afternoon!

How beautiful...

So Moffy remembered the sound, huh...

Yeah, this kid is pretty strange.

You guys are strange, huh.

The sound change if you throw it?

Hey... About this...

Can we stop it already?

Someday, I want to let them hear our song, not just from practice...

Like a concert? I want to do it!

That's pretty bold for you, Inori.

I'm not talking about something that big...

We need to prepare more songs too.

Manna wants to dance a lot!

Then we'll need a costume too!

Is there a song that we can use to sing and dance along to?

Why don't we make them ourselves?

If everyone sings, I'm sure it'll be fun!

Yeah, you're right.

In the end, the commander is one step ahead of us, huh...

I was too preoccupied with myself...

Why don't you admit that to the person?

As if!

I'm sorry, you two!

Commander?

I always move based on my instinct, so things always ended up as a mess!

No, we don't really expect any meticulous calculation from anything you do, commander.

Well... I guess thanks for your understanding...

And, don't ever show that kind of expression to the other members.

It'll be bad if our commander doesn't show any dignity.

Well, I'll try my best...

You guys, what are you doing?

We're thinking of a name.

Name?

For the Witches big sisters, we're wondering how should we call them.

Symphony... Harmony... Musical...

Luminous? Even though they're a band squad?

The big sisters were sparkling after all.

Ah, yeah, they were huh...

They were sparkling, and flying in the sky!

Luminous... Witches?

Luminous Witches!

(To be continued)

Hey, how's your day?

Hey, hey, let's talk about it together

A star, shining in the sky, slowly forms a constellation

If something happens, or even when nothing happens

I always want to be by your side, I promise

Squeeze, tightly, firmly, strongly

If we hold our hands together

The morning sun will shine upon the dark, night sky

Then our hearts will become stronger

And now, we'll shine together

I will love everyone more from now on

And I'll try to make everyone think the same for me

While searching for my reason to be here,

I'll sing about everything, both laughs, and tears

With me

With everyone

It's the song for everyone and me

Hey, Moffy.

What kind of song do you think we'll sing?
