[Op theme]

The bell has finally come to Sae's town. Takeo thinks it's hear to
investigate magic and that it'd be a good idea not use magic around the
robots from the bell. Sae thinks Takeo may be trying to take the bell on
himself, and she will do her best to help him out.

At school, Sae is doing some self training with Nanaka. Takeo comes by
and Nanaka leaves to go see Aburatsubo. Takeo has another fantasy where
he admits that he doesn't really want to take the bell on. Sae tells him
not to do anything dangerous alone, which forces Takeo to tell the truth
in reality. 

But Sae just thinks he's trying to protect her from danger. Takeo tries
to say 'I love you' but can't. A bunch of balls from the bell then come,
forcing the pair to make a cautious retreat. 

Nanaka enters the club room and sees Aburatsubo working on a scale paper
mache model of the bell. He suggest that 2 of them do something fun since
the school is empty. Sae overhears this and blushes, but in reality the 2
just start to fly around the school.

Sae and Nanaka then walked home. Sae suggest that she Aburatsubo make a
wonderfull couple. Nanaka say's that Sae is bad at reading people because
Aubratsubo really likes Takeo. Nanaka almost breaks into tears before she
runs away.
 
Sae comes home depressed and wonders if she knows Nanaka's true fellings. 

Meanwhile Minowa comes over to Akane's place and asks her to use magic to
find out the true motives of the bell. Akane is reluctant, but Minowa
convinces her. He say's he will protect Akane no matter what. 

At the same time Nanaka wonders if she can use magic to find out
Aburatsubo's true feelings. Sae wonders if she can do the same with
Nanaka.

Aburatsubo wonders if he can find out Takeo's true feelings, but Takeo
denies he has any for Aburatsubo. Takeo say's that should try to displace
the bell to a different place in space and decide to practice the magic
with a glass.

Akane is able to make contact with the mind of the bell. Speaking for the
bell, Akane say's that they have a run into an obsticle in devloping the
planet. They have devloped a robot to track down the wavelengths given
off by magic. 

A double of Akane soons appears as the robot is sent out to track down
magic. The bell appears to be arguing with itself over what to do with
magic when it apparently agrees on talking a specimen for eternal
freezing. 
 
Takeo and the others starts their magic spells and are picked up by the
robot as pillars of light. Akane is able to break free of the contact and
yells at everyone not to use magic.

[Eye Catch]

The pillars dissapear from the robots eye's. Sae and Nanaka stop their
spells before they finished while Takeo's and Aburatsubo's fail. Sae
thinks it's rude to invade a persons thoughts and asks for help from
Jeff-kun. The bear then starts to float and emit magic. 

The robot picks it up, but it fades quickly away. 

Sae notices that it leaves a picture in her diary, but is unable to take
a close look at because Nanaka phones. She tells Sae that she will
confess her true fellings to Aburatsubo tommorow, regardless of what his
answer will be. Sae say's she will help Nanaka out any way she can. 

At school, Sae is over enthusiastic about helping Nanaka out. By the end
of the day she's more nervous than Nanaka. Nanaka heads to club room and
see's Takeo and Aburatsubo talking about magical circles. Takeo tells
Aubratsubo that the shape that best draws out his power is a triangle. 

Takeo then sees Nanaka in the doorway and leaves the two alone. 

Nanaka tells Aburatsubo that she loves him, after some nervousness.
Aburatsubo admits that he loves Nanaka too, since they share the same
feelings togther. The feeling of loving somebody that won't return the
love. 

Sae wonders if she can help Nanaka out in anyway. She asks Jeff-kun what
to do, and the bear starts to glow. The robot is able to pick up the
magic wave and tracks it down to the source. It kidnaps Sae, and Takeo
watches as it starts to run away. 

Takeo chases after it, trying his best to stop it. It doesn't do much, so
he picks up a fields hockey stick and starts to hit it. He's able to
knock the arm holding Sae off, and they start to run away. 

But the arm starts to move on it's own, and is picked up a ball from the
bell. It begins to fly away, as Takeo grabs onto Sae. He tries to say I
love you, but is unable to finish before he falls to the ground hard.
