Titled “47th Hunt: Kumugi Harvest“, the chapter with Kumugi objecting to her older sister’s suggestion of replacing her. There was then a flashback surrounding what the green-haired girl did on a day-to-day basis at the Witches’ Research Club. She had picked “the blandest job” they had on offer – Record Keeper.
The job entailed simply taking account of everything that happened in the much detail as possible. She had taken the job for how sidelined it was, not involving or bothering anyone. However, that completely changed when she met Ichi. Together with him and Desscaras, she experienced a number of things.
Each of their adventures was unique and left them in all sorts of states. But one thing was constant – keeping record. Despite being beyond tired many times, Kumugi found her hand writing on its own, creating detailed notes on everything. These records were precious, for they were ones all of them had created together.

Back to the present, Kumugi admitted that the role on Team Desscaras was hard. But it was full of vibrant and exciting things she had never thought she would experience. She continued saying that despite her reputation for messing things up, that was something she had no time to pay heed to.
So all in all, she wasn’t going to give up her job. Spica was surprised and vexed to see her sister stand back up, one who had been looking down since the accident. She burst out in anger, calling her sister useless. Kumugi retorted by putting forth that Spica had healed her eye long ago and wore the patch only for appearances.
The sisters bickered and fought loudly, Spica attempting to sweet-talk Ichi into choosing her over Kumugi. Finally, Ichi spoke, apologizing to Spica, saying that she “wasn’t his type”, stunning her as she slowly backed away. That was something Desscaras had taught him to say, which he and Kumugi had a hearty laugh over.
What to expect from Ichi the Witch chapter 48

Ichi the Witch chapter 48 may shift focus to Desscaras and Gokuraku next. It is very likely that they witnessed the entire incident and wouldn’t be able to help themselves from approaching Ichi about it. Thus, Team Desscaras has officially been formed and is ready to go.
But it must not be discounted that this is the last readers will see of Spica Harvest. While her appearance in Ichi the Witch chapter 48 is debatable, she will definitely play a significant role in future chapters. This is only the beginning of Ichi’s journey as a Witch, and the World-Hater Majik needs to be stopped as soon as possible.
