Maebashi Witches – Episode 7 – The Tough Life of Choco

After Choco had an outburst cursing the grandmother as an old hag, her friends had to come in and fix it. Eventually, that grandmother had her wish granted, but it’s evident that Choco is not herself.

Interestingly, after they finish the day of work, Choco heads out, and Yuina notices that she collapsed. Choco is using magic to turn time back so she can finish all those chores. Choco being overworked is one of the reasons Choco became a witch. We find out that her mother works as a nurse, but her leg was injured.

As a result, she can’t work as she has kids to care for, too. Yuina covered for Choco as she rested. I can see why Choco is not like her usual self since she has much to do to care for the kids and her mother. No wonder why she cursed the grandmother out because of the stress she is in. While Yuina might not be the brightest, at least she is kind and considerate as she covered for Choco.

On the other hand, Kyouka is acting a bit more cheerful than her serious self. It looks like Choco and Kyouka changed places. Kurope encourages Kyouka to use some magic points on herself as others do. She was reluctant to do so since she wanted the group to succeed. However, she eventually uses the points to donate to her favorite VTuber. That is while her parents talk about moving and being concerned that there is a bad influence on their daughter.

However, those frequent donations eventually caught the attention of Mogutan, who turned out to be a groomer He sent pictures of Kyouka out in public and eventually photos of his body only wearing underwear, attempting to groom Kyouka. These messages creep Kyouka out. That is where things got dark.

I have a feeling that Choco is the one who has the least freedom since she has her mother and kids to take care of. Meanwhile, Kyouka has more freedom despite her parents wanting her to go in a specific direction for their daughter’s future. We’ll find out what happens to Kyouka after that revelation next time.
