- 中世におこなわれた魔女狩りでは、火あぶりにされたご先祖もいる。そんなわけで、かあさんの一族はその魔力を世間の目からひたかくしにしてすごしてきたんだ。今は、もう魔女狩りなんてないが…、でも、その力は使わないでくれないか。魔法なんか、けっしてアン子を幸せにしてくれないと思うから。

- Some of your ancestors were also burned at the stake during a witch-hunt that happened some time in the Middle Ages. That’s why your mother’s family did everything they could to hide their magical abilities from the masses. They don’t do witch-hunts nowadays…, but still, make sure never to use this power again. I don’t think things like magic would ever do you any good, Anko.
