Mari sure is taking a while. I wonder what she's up to.

She was talking to Shima.

Isn't she just getting her Halloween party act ready?

*Sniff* *Sniff* Do you smell something?

Is it my imagination, or is the smell getting closer?

Sorry for the wait, everyone!

Here is my present to all of you! Ta-dah!

I call it Witch's Stewshine!

Dig in before it gets cold.

What even…?

This really looks like one of those stews with mystery ingredients that you eat in the dark.

Chika, do you guys eat stuff like this regularly?

What? N-No way! We only eat the normal Stewshine that Mari makes for us.

This smell… *Sniff* *Sniff* Garam masala, bay leaf, star anise, Japanese pepper, coriander…and lots of other stuff.

What kind of food is this?!

I told you, it's my deluxe Witch's Stewshine!

Ah, don't worry, those are all really good ingredients.

You're right. I grabbed a whole bunch of extra stuff from the hotel kitchen. It's all top-notch seafood.

Seafood… I would've preferred to have it more plain.

I know Mari's Stewshine looks questionable, but it's really delicious! Although I feel like the one we had before was a slightly different color.

I'm sure this one will be good too! Let's give it a try, everyone.

That's right! My Stewshine is delicious! C'mon and help yourselves!

If Chika says it's good, then…I'll have some too.

I-I will too.

You too, Karin.

Wait, are we really going to eat this? Is it actually good?

Well then, bon appétit.

[Fade in/out.]

Was it so tasty you could cry?

Chika, this isn't like you said at all!

But usually Stewshine really is amazing!

Kanata, use your powers to remake this demonic stew into something good!

This is beyond me.

The Witch's Stewshine would be so boring if it was just like a normal one. So I pulled out all the stops.

What is this, the final trick? I want a treat!

Trick or treeeat!
