[Scene 1 – A New Encounter]
The episode opens with the brawlers continuing their journey along Path 6.5, an area known for its quaint towns and hidden magical wonders. As they walk, they come across a small, bustling town. On the edge of the town, they meet a cheerful, but somewhat eccentric, young female magician named Mirabelle.
Mirabelle (excitedly spotting the brawlers):
“Hey! You look like the perfect people to test my new magic on! You’re just in time!”
Kouchu (curious):
“Test magic? What kind of test?”
Mirabelle (grinning):
“Well, I’m practicing some new spells, but I haven’t had a subject to try them on! You’re in luck. Are you up for a little magical experiment?”
The brawlers exchange uncertain looks but nod, deciding to humor her.
Shauna (laughing):
“Why not? I mean, what’s the worst that could happen?”
Sakuro (seriously):
“Let’s just hope it’s nothing too crazy.”

[Scene 2 – The Magic Test Goes Wrong]
Mirabelle waves her wand and chants a spell, aiming it directly at Kouchu. At first, nothing seems to happen. But suddenly, a burst of light surrounds Kouchu, and to everyone’s surprise, Kouchu transforms into a small, fluffy puppy.
Kouchu (now as a puppy, confused and barking):
“Woof! Woof!? What just happened?!”
Mirabelle (wide-eyed and panicked):
“Oh no! That was supposed to be a simple transformation spell! I didn’t mean to turn you into a puppy!”
Kouchu, now in his puppy form, looks up at the brawlers with wide, confused eyes. Shauna and Sakuro both try to contain their laughter as they realize what’s happened.
Shauna (teasing, laughing):
“Well, this is a first! Kouchu, you’re so cute like this!”
Sakuro (grinning):
“I didn’t think you could get any more ridiculous, Kouchu.”
Kouchu, now barking and jumping around, attempts to convey his confusion and frustration. Mirabelle, realizing the trouble she caused, scratches her head sheepishly.
Mirabelle (apologetically):
“I’m so sorry! I’ll find a way to reverse it! Don’t worry!”

[Scene 3 – Kouchu’s New Life as a Puppy]
Despite Mirabelle’s assurances, Kouchu’s new life as a puppy is anything but easy. Shauna and Sakuro try to take care of him, but his incessant barking keeps them up at night.
Shauna (exhausted, rubbing her eyes):
“I swear, I haven’t slept all night with all this barking!”
Sakuro (irritated, holding his pillow):
“I don’t think we’ll ever get any peace and quiet at this rate.”
Kouchu, in his puppy form, tries to be helpful by fetching things for them but ends up making more of a mess than anything else. He knocks over water bottles, chews on Shauna’s shoes, and gets into mischief.
The brawlers decide that they need to take Kouchu to someone who might be able to reverse the spell. They make their way to Elliott’s house, hoping that he might have some magical knowledge.
?
[Scene 4 – Elliott’s Help]
At Elliott’s house, Kouchu is treated like a pet, and Elliott, though slightly perplexed by the situation, agrees to take care of him.
Elliott (sighing while petting Kouchu):
“Well, I didn’t expect to see you as a puppy, Kouchu, but I suppose I can’t let you just roam around. You’re lucky I have a soft spot for animals.”
Kouchu, still confused, barks and runs around excitedly, but Elliott is able to keep him calm for a while by playing with him.
Elliott (chuckling):
“Looks like you’re gonna need a few more lessons in patience, buddy.”
Kouchu eventually becomes tired from all the running around and ends up falling asleep at Elliott’s feet.
?
[Scene 5 – Reversing the Spell]
As the day progresses, Kouchu’s puppy form continues to cause a few minor inconveniences, but the brawlers are determined to find a solution. Finally, Mirabelle arrives, apologizing profusely and holding a book of spells.
Mirabelle (nervously flipping through the book):
“Okay, okay, I think I found the counter-spell! I’m really sorry about this!”
Mirabelle waves her wand again, casting a new spell to reverse the transformation. There’s a flash of light, and Kouchu is returned to his human form.
Kouchu (now back to normal, stretching and yawning):
“Ugh, finally! I’ve had enough of barking and chasing my tail.”
The brawlers, relieved that Kouchu is back to normal, share a laugh, though they can’t help but tease him a little.
Shauna (laughing):
“Well, at least you were cute as a puppy.”
Sakuro (smiling):
“You were barking up the wrong tree with that transformation, Kouchu.”
Kouchu, rubbing his head in embarrassment, looks up at Mirabelle.
Kouchu (sighing):
“I just hope you’ll stick to simpler spells next time, okay?”
Mirabelle (laughing nervously):
“I promise, no more turning people into puppies! You’re my first and last test subject for that one.”
?
[Scene 6 – A Slight Refund]
Mirabelle, eager to make amends, offers to refund Kouchu for the mishap.
Mirabelle (holding out some coins):
“I’m so sorry! Here, please take this as a refund for the inconvenience. I’ll make sure to perfect my magic from now on.”
Kouchu accepts the refund with a slight smile, relieved to have everything back to normal.
Kouchu (grinning):
“Thanks. But no more puppy transformations, please.”
?
[Scene 7 – Leaving the Town]
With the spell finally reversed, the brawlers leave the town, ready to continue their journey toward the next challenge. They walk down the road, chatting and laughing, with Kouchu looking a little embarrassed but mostly relieved.
Kouchu (smiling):
“Well, that was definitely an interesting experience. Let’s never do that again.”
Shauna (teasing):
“Who knows, Kouchu? Maybe you’d make an adorable puppy after all!”
Sakuro (dryly):
“Let’s hope not.”
As the brawlers continue down the path, the camera pans up to the sky, signaling that their journey continues.
