Tartar: Hold on, you’re saying there’s magic that can help me? // What the heck kinda magic can do that?
Coco: This is an "Earth Rune”... // "A rune with the power to govern earth. // It allows you to alter the form of earth

itself.” // It’s created tunnels for us and destroyed boulders, turning them to sand... It’s saved me time and time again.

Page 02

Tartar: But how does that have anything to do with our situation now?
Coco: "When you change the keystone, the magic changes, too..." // The keystone determines how the magic will materialize.

// Draw the keystone too long and the magic will go shooting off... // Add an angle, and the magic will twist, too. // Magic

really is super honest with you

Page 03

Tartar: Magic is... // honest... // I don’t really get it... What’s the gist?
Coco: The keystone... // This magic can, by nature, turn things into very small, sand-like particles. // Draw the inverse of

the crushing keystone to reverse its usual effect, and what do you get?
Tartar: Reverse it... // And it becomes magic that can give form to sand-like stuff...!

Page 04

Coco: Yeah. // And you, Tartar... // You know a lot about the original forms of these powders. // Since you've memorized

them all...
SFX: Glow
Coco: It should show you the solution...!
SFX: Pwo oof...
Coco: ...Huh?
Tartar: Hmm...

Page 05

Coco: I'm so weak I really can’t do a thing, huh // (I'm all worn out and shaky) // And after I said magic is so honest...
SFX: Pull
Tartar: Y-you can’t help that!
Coco: Please just forget how cool I was trying to look a minute ago... // I'm so embarrassed that I’m turning bright red
Tartar: It’s fine! I said I don’t mind! // Hey. // So all I have to do // is try redrawing this?
Coco: If you can make it more balanced that’d be good...

Page 06

Tartar: Don't know about how good I'll draw it, // but I am pretty good at making sure things are balanced // since I’m

always doing stuff like that.

Page 07

Tartar: SO, // about these keystones. // Is it all right if draw the left and right sides // along with the top and bottom

too? // Magic and pens have similarities, even if pens are three dimensional. // In both cases, you’ve got to craft them

from lots of different angles.
Right and Left Arrows: Bloop
Top and Bottom Arrows: Forming
Tartar: It looks like it might “leak” a bit like this. // I think those parts might not form correctly. // Oh, // sorry! //

I'm not trying to mess with your magic or anything...
Coco: No worries. It’s basic magic. // And besides, if you come up with something to change the effect of the magic, that

means it's your spell already and not mine, so don’t worry about it.

Page 08

Coco: Give it a try and see.
SFX: Grip
Tartar: Okay. // I will. // ...It worked.

Page 09

SFX: Shoop
Tartar: It worked... // Just for a second, but it worked! // Wow! Cool! // I did it! Me!
Coco: Woohoo // Cough cough cough // Ack! // Sorry! // The medicine, right! // ...Oh, dang! // That was close! None of these

are healing herbs.. // I totally thought it'd be in here! // Maybe they’re in the storage room... // Okay! // I'm gonna use

this magic to go find the right herbs! // I can do it with this!

Page 10

SFX: Tap

Page 11

Tartar: This looks a little bit // like a magic supply shop.
SFX: Glow
Tartar: Thorntree. // Pinwheel Flowers. // Sea Rose. // A Rainbee’s Hive from a Sleepy Willow...

Page 12

Tartar: I know them all. //I know what they all look like... // They're the same as the ones I memorized from the book... //

Amazing... // Each time I hold the paper above my head // it's like the world is coming into focus. // Everything I remember
SFX: Conk
Tartar: Coming together to give me the answer I seek.

Page 13

Tartar: I’m becoming capable of doing more // and more // It's wonderful.
SFX: Wipe
Tartar: Found it! // This is the healing herb!
SFX: Creak
Tartar: I'd better take it to Coco quick!
SFX: Shoop

Page 14

Nurse: Hey! // You! // What are you doing there!!
Tartar: Uh...
Nurse: You didn’t think anyone was here? // That is simply not possible! A hospital must never be without staff! // I was

preparing the west wing to receive the fire victims. // We’re going to be busy after that fire.
Tartar: ...

Page 15
Nurse: There are no labels on the medicine to prevent unauthorized use. // You might've made her taken medicine that she

shouldn’t be given. // You had no idea whether we had already prescribed her something else entirely.
Tartar: I’m sorry... I panicked...
SFX: Clink
Nurse: Your concern for your friend is commendable, // but medicine can just as easily become poison, // you need to make

sure you learn the correct knowledge. // Although... you chose right. A healing herb does just the trick in this situation.

// Seems you know a bit about medicinal herbs, hm? // Are you interested in practicing medicine?
Tartar: Huh?! Oh, no, I’m...

Page 16

Nurse: Ah, I see. // That hat... // So you’re an apprentice witch, hmm?
Tartar: ...


Page 17

Baby: [Crying]
Qifry: I'm so glad we made it in time. // I never would have thought a baby would be sleeping upstairs.
Woman: Oh my dear boy! // Thank you so much, witch!
Qifry: Other witches from Karoon have come running, so I’d better get back.
SFX: Turn
Qifry: I'm worried about my disciple. // I need to be by her side right n— // rgh!
SFX: Grab
Man: Hey now! Just where do you think you’re going?

Page 18

Qifry: B-Back to the hospital...
Man: What, and leave our shop here to burn?! // That fire's not out yet, you know! // You witches just wave your fingers and

bam! You’ve got magic. // Must always get to take it easy, eh? // Well, now’s the time to put your magic to work, m’boy!
SFX: Slap
Qifry: Uhh // My life isn’t all fun and games, actually...
SFX: Mutter
Witch 1: "The Unknowing" just don’t get it.
Witch 2: Please feel free to leave. // My teacher and I are here.
Qifry: Thank you...


Page 19

SFX: Fwsh
Qifry: It's not easy or simple // at all // Otherwise // why would any of us ever worry or suffer?
SFX: Creak

Page 20

SFX: Sh f
SFX: Press

Page 21

Mmh... // I can finally breathe again...
Nurse: That's great! You got a lot of rest, huh? // Your fever has come down, too.
Coco: Maybe I got better cuzza the medicine. // Thank you, Tartar.
Tartar: ! // I'd say you’re the one who helped me...

Page 22

Tartar: Witches are awesome
Coco: Yeah...! // They really are.
Tartar: No, I mean, I was trying to say that you’re awesome, Coco!
Coco: Huh // Even though my magic is all over the place?! (It went all like blooop)
Qifry: Heey!
Nornoa: Hey, you two!

Page 23

Nornoa: You had me worried sick. // I heard there was fire, and then you didn’t come home that night
Tartar: I'm sorry, gramps.
Nornoa: Thank you for letting me know, Qifrey.
Tartar: Oh! // That's right. // Um, I... // I wanted to ask about that light. // The big flash, last time you visited the

shop...
Qifry and Nornoa: Light?

Page 24

Tartar: ... // So Mr. Qifrey didn't see it, either? // Well, nevermind. // Maybe I was totally off the mark... // Is it rude

to be suspicious of him without being sure? // I'll try looking into that big flash of light // more on my own.
Boatwoman: The boat will depart soon.
Qifry: Then let’s head back, too.
Coco: Yeah
Tartar: Coco!

Page 25

Tartar: I'll make // a pen just for you, Coco! // And then I'll cross this river using my own magic // to come and deliver

it to you! // Promise!
Coco: ...! // Okay!

Page 26

Coco: I'll be looking forward to it!
Nornoa: Looks like you made yourself a really good friend, Tartar!
Tartar: Yeah! // She’s amazing // And I’m sure // she’s going to become someone even more amazing.


Page 27

Nornoa: I believe you can become someone even more amazing too.
Tartar: Heheh.
Qifry: I see... // So you couldn’t sleep this whole time because of bad dreams, huh?

Page 28

Qifry: Dreams are hard to deal with. // Especially since magic that makes you sleep is forbidden... // At any rate, we can

come up with a countermeasure to deal with this problem if we must. // Necessity is the mother of invention.
Coco: Thank you. // But // I feel like I'm fine now.
Qifry: You won’t push yourself too hard?
Coco: Nope! After all...
Coco: Now // I have hope in my heart!

Page 29 and 30

Coco: Draw // a keystone inverted // and the effect of the magic will be reversed, too.
SFX: Rustle Rustle Rustle
Coco: It follows that
SFX: Rustle
Coco: forbidden magic should work the same way. // If I invert the keystone drawn in that picture book // maybe I can even

reverse the magic that turned mom to stone...!!

Page 31

Tetia: Cocooo! // Heey! // We were so worried! // Is everything okay? Your fever all gone? (I’m so glad you’re back)
Agete: Whew

Page 32

Cloak guy: Looks like your little "gift" didn’t go over so well, huh? // It appears the Pointed Hats who have become

complacent from peace are not all fools // We mustn’t adopt such a slothful attitude. // Now is the time to strike
Eye guy: Well then // will you be the one to go next? // You, the very embodiment of forbidden magic.
SFX: Float

Page 33

Cloak guy: That’s my plan. // We shouldn't let the change escape us when the times for the tests come. // We will not miss

our mark.
Text: Witch Hat Atelier V3: END

Animals of Witch Hat (Volume 3 omake)

Brushbug
[First appears in chapter 4]
Fond of the smell of magic ink, its fur is brush-like. If a bottle of magic ink is left uncapped, sometimes a brushbug will

dip its body in to soak up the ink, then proceed to roam about the room, creating quite a mess, it seems... Brushbugs don’t

just have white fur; they come in many colors and with many patterns. It prefers to eat nuts and berries. When they have

just been born, brushbugs are shorter and rounder.

Winged Horse
[First appears in chapter 1]
Even in the cities, these winged horses draw the carriages ridden by those who are comparatively wealthy. Experts debate

whether these creatures should be classified as “four-legged animals” or "eight-legged animals”, since sets of two wings

each sprout from where the ears and tail would be on a horse which could be classified as limbs. In an effort to protect

their hooves, taking off or landing from paving stone surfaces is forbidden. Their speed on land is a little slower than

that of a regular horse.

Giant Scale Dragon
[First appears in chapter 5]
These dragons are almost impossible to find near places humans inhabit. Many types exist, from meat-eating carnivores to

herbivores. Fiercely territorial, they often lash out their long tail like a whip to attack any who draw near. Able to glide

through the air, they are also resistant to fire. Their scales and the shells of their eggs are used as ingredients for

magical ink, but are extremely valuable.

Cadphon, the Many-Winged Bird
[First appears in chapter 8]
Its wings move like a dragonfly's, with four sets of wings each capable of moving independently. Moreover, by means of that,

it can change direction quickly mid-flight, and they’re able to manifest a method of flying different than common birds. The

length of its body is approximately 60 cm and approximately 150 cm when the wings are extended. The type that uses a set of

wings as feet is called a “gryphon".
