Key Facts

  • Episode 5 of Hello, I Am a Witch and My Crush Wants Me to Make a Love Potion! has a community score of 4.5.
  • Rose is tracked and hit with mud balls by local children while buying ingredients off the island.
  • Harij stops the assault and demands apologies from the children and their parents.
  • Three adults go quiet once Rose tells them she is a witch.
  • Harij offers Rose his bathtub and brings her baked goods, which the episode separates from his need for the love potion.

A trip off the island to buy ingredients turns into a mud-throwing assault by local children, and the adults who arrive go quiet once Rose says she is a witch. Harij ends the attack and demands apologies from the children and their parents.

The children who track Rose off the island learned their fear somewhere. When three adults arrive, told that Harij is a kidnapper, they scold the children while Rose is just a pink-haired stranger, then fall silent the moment she admits she is a witch.

Rose freezes during the mud balls and barely tries to defend herself. Harij does the talking, demanding apologies from both the children and the parents and telling the adults to raise their kids better. The episode frames his care as separate from the love potion: he brings baked goods and offers his bathtub, and he keeps doing it after learning Tien exists.
