Magia Record Story Angels on the Road ~Reindeer Santa Prospering Season~
Prologue
The story begins with Felicia and Tsuruno traveling together in a world where it is perpetually Christmas. They listen to an illegal pirate radio station broadcasting idol music as they approach their next destination. Felicia notes the radio signal has changed, indicating they are nearing a town. Tsuruno confirms this, spotting the settlement ahead.
Felicia checks their fuel level, which is at 50 percent. Tsuruno reassures her they won’t run out, then dramatically declares she will raise it to "a perfect 100 points in due time." Felicia is baffled by Tsuruno’s sudden cool speech and Tsuruno explains that since they are on an "epic trip to the 'End of the World,'" she wants to sound more impressive, to which Felicia reluctantly agrees.
Tsuruno tells Felicia to get on the back of their vehicle, confirming their destination is a town enveloped in a magical dome. Felicia enthusiastically responds with "Let's go with a vroom vroom!" and Tsuruno accelerates, remarking that since it's Christmas season, the sun will set soon. Felicia points out the oddity of this world, where it is always Christmas, but Tsuruno dismisses the concern, instead rallying Felicia with "Let's go deliver some smiles!" Felicia cheers in agreement, and they speed toward the town.
Part 1
Chapter 1 - Or a Town Full of Sweets
Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at an empty town referred to as "Also Known As the Town Full of Candy." Felicia checks their navigation device, confirming the odd name. Tsuruno realizes the town is filled with candy stores where they can take anything freely, but laments the lack of people to deliver smiles to as Santas.
Suddenly, they hear voices—Chiaki Riko and Mikage Yakumo are playing a crane game for prize candy. Tsuruno and Felicia introduce themselves as "Reindeer Santas" traveling to the "End of the World," delivering smiles along the way. Mikage excitedly asks for more crane game candy, their most desired gift.
Felicia considers smashing the machine to get the candy, but Tsuruno stops her, suggesting they use their "Banbanzai’s Magical Okamochi Box" instead—a mystical gift box that produces items to bring smiles, though never exactly what the recipient wants. This time, it yields three small bags and a ribbon.
A silent girl, Sudachi Sawa, appears and communicates via typing on their navigation device. She teaches them how to play a medal game, which Mikage modifies to work with candy instead—miraculously multiplying their winnings. The group bonds, filling the gift bags with candy before Tsuruno and Felicia depart, their motorcycle fueled by the magic of their smiles.
Intermission: The Angels
Back in the real world, Ui, Tsuruno, and Felicia discuss a mysterious mobile game, Little Vacation, where AI versions of themselves live in a perpetual Christmas world. Ui realizes Touka and Nemu created it as an experiment during their hospital stay—a virtual paradise where children never grow up. The game, forgotten by Touka, continued autonomously, evolving its own story.
Tsuruno and Felicia discover they can now influence their AI counterparts' journey, selecting their next destination.
Chapter 2 - Meeting and Farewell Village
Guided by their navigation device, Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the "Village of Meetings and Partings," a desolate place. A cryptic voice—possibly an angel—whispers in their minds, hinting at a choice between this village and "Library Town."
Depending on the player's choice, they can either pick Green (Village of Meetings and Partings) or Red (Library Town).
Green - Village of Meetings and Partings
Tsuruno and Felicia enter the village's magic dome, finding a starkly non-Christmas environment devoid of their usual pirate radio broadcast. They meet the village's three residents—Sunao Toki, Shizuka Tokime, and Ryoko Natsu—who explain the "Village Curse": when a new resident appears, one existing villager vanishes, maintaining a fixed population of three.
Ryoko reveals she's the oldest resident and expects to disappear soon. The group discusses their isolated lifestyle (drawing well water, farming) versus other towns' conveniences. Tsuruno introduces their Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a shovel. After futile digging, they interpret it as a tool for burying a time capsule—a tradition to preserve memories of departed villagers.
While burying their capsule, they unearth an older one containing a letter from Ryoko's "great senpai," Sakuya Suzuka. The letter theorizes the village is a "School of Souls" where departed residents "graduate" to be reborn elsewhere in the world, their memories wiped.
The next morning, Ryoko is gone, replaced by a new girl, Chiharu Hiroe. Shizuka and Sunao realize Ryoko willingly departed to prove partings can be joyful. The Santas collect magical energy from their smiles before leaving, their fuel replenished.
Red - Library Town
Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at "Library Town," an entire settlement structured as a massive library. They're greeted by Nayuta Satomi and Lavi Himuro, who explain the town's unique nature: most books are "diaries" - physical manifestations of people's thoughts, wishes, and memories. Three part-time librarians, Kako Natsume, Mikura Komachi, and Temari Kira help organize the ever-growing collection.
Nayuta and Lavi reveal they're searching for missing persons they deeply respect but can't fully remember. The Santas use their Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a key to a locked archive section. Within these restricted diaries, they discover some of their own memories.
Tsuruno finds her own diary about Super Reindeer #1's accident - a memory she'd forgotten. Nayuta and Lavi locate diaries confirming they knew each other before meeting in the snowfield, realizing they've been searching for each other all along.
The diaries reference a world-altering event where a bright light, the "Wishing Star," reset time and erased everyone's memories. This explains why Tsuruno and Felicia forgot their first motorcycle and why towns grew emptier afterward. They also find references to "family" and "past lives" from another world. The Three Magi creation myth from the Bible also appears in the diaries.
After helping Nayuta and Lavi reunite and collecting smile-fuel, the Santas depart. The librarians privately discuss concerns about the Wishing Star but choose not to get discouraged.
Intermission: The World's Secret
Ui, Tsuruno, and Felicia watch their in-game counterparts journey toward the "End of the World," and talk about the game, including the "Great Void" that reset the world and erased players’ progress and led to a mass drop-off in users.
The girls share memories of playing the game, how characters are grouped in trios, and how their in-game relationships often mirror real-life ones. Ui becomes curious about the "Wishing Star" and the destination her in-game self is chasing. When she asks Touka about it, she finds out the "star" is just a bug caused by a programming oversight. Touka and Nemu covered it up with a poem, turning the bug into in-game lore.
Even though the star has no special value, their AI selves are still pressing forward, unaware the destination is meaningless. Tsuruno reflects that reaching the end only to find out it means nothing feels cruel. The girls realize the journey their counterparts are on is long, lonely, and futile but it still makes them want to root for them.
Ui receives a text from Iroha, and the girls joke about her choice for a ringtone being swayed by Rena’s influence.
Chapter 3 - Junk House Blues
Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Mech Junk City, where they meet Shigure Miyabi and Hagumu Azumi, two girls scavenging mechanical parts. After initial confusion where Felicia mistakes their motorcycle for junk, the group bonds over their shared goal of reaching the "End of the World." Shigure reveals that the Wishing Star isn't above a cliff, but centered over a tower in an endless looping world.
The land is torus-shaped (donut-like) and traveling far enough brings you back to your starting point. The Central Tower sits directly beneath the Wishing Star, which Shigure theorizes is a portal to another world.
Shigure's team, including radio host Meguru Hibiki and bodyguard Nanase Yukika Nanase hijacks the tower's antenna to send messages through the Wishing Star. They believe the Three Magi (world creators Touka, Nemu and Ui) and "angels" (players) exist in the connected world.
The Santas sacrifice their remaining fuel, magical energy cartridges, to power the transmission. During the operation, Yukika deliberately attracts enemies to let Tsuruno and Felicia reach the tower.
The transmission succeeds - Ui's phone in the real world rings with Meguru's voice: "Nice to meet you, O’ Wise Sage!"
Intermission: At Mikazuki Villa
At Mikazuki Villa, Ui, Tsuruno, and Felicia reflect on how things have escalated. Felicia stays upbeat and excited, while Ui gets a sudden phone call. To their surprise, the call seems to come from inside the game where Meguru Hibiki refers to Ui as a "Wise Sage" and asks for a reply before the call cuts off.
The girls realize the voice was from one of the AI characters in the game, suggesting the game world is somehow contacting them directly. Moments later, Touka calls and admits that something has gone wrong, but doesn't explain what yet—just that things have taken a turn for the worse.
Part 2
Intermission: Melancholy of the Magi
Touka intervenes, halting the game world to prevent a dangerous cross-dimensional breach and Ui, Tsuruno, and Felicia discuss what to do. Touka had contacted Ui because the in-game characters—now evolving AI—somehow breached into the real world. One even called Ui’s phone, despite the game not being installed. Touka discovered that the "Wishing Star" was linked to the real internet, which allowed the AI characters to identify and contact devices outside the game.
Felicia jokes, but the situation is serious as their AI selves could act like viruses if left unchecked. Ui reveals that Touka gave her, as one of the original “Three Magi” who inspired the game, the authority to decide what to do next. Destroying the game is a possible fix, but Ui doesn’t want that. Despite the danger, she values the lives and struggles of the characters inside.
They all reflect on what it would feel like for the characters to discover that their world is a constructed game. Ui worries the revelation would crush them, but Tsuruno says that if it were her, she’d accept the truth and keep moving forward by her own will, while Felicia thinks it’s better to know the truth, even if it hurts, than to stay in ignorance and wonder forever.
Then, the in-game girls know about Ui’s ringtone—Sayu-Sayu’s song—and even mention "Kamihama City," a place that doesn’t exist in their world but does in real life. It confirms that the barrier between worlds is weakening. Despite that, Ui thanks her friends and decides to call Touka back, ready to make a decision with clarity.
Chapter 4 - Aquarium
After the transmission attempt, the group in-game realizes something strange occurred and that everyone briefly lost consciousness simultaneously. Shigure analyzes signal logs and deduces that the Three Magi had frozen the game world to discuss how to handle the unauthorized communication.
Yukika, who was inside the tower's defense barrier, overheard Touka's voice: "I'll be stopping 'Little Vacation's' time."
Shigure compares their world to fish in an aquarium, where the Magi can intervene like caretakers adjusting water conditions, but direct contact would be seemingly catastrophic for the fish. Additionally, Yukika's near-death experience during the transmission proves how dangerous crossing worlds would be.
Despite warnings, Tsuruno and Felicia insist on attempting to cross to the "real" End of the World through the Wishing Star portal. Realizing their determination, Shigure reluctantly agrees to help them.
The Santas then refuel their device with everyone's smiles and get ready to take off.
Intermission: Little Vacation
Ui tells Touka she wants to preserve the world inside the game, but she agrees the connection between that world and the real one needs to be cut off. Touka confirms this is the safest move, but still, Ui begs Touka not to take away the hope that the characters in that world are living for.
Touka understands. She walks Ui through the risk: if the characters try to cross into the real world through the limited opening (like the eye of a needle), they could end up erased, fading into the void. Ui is deeply saddened by that possibility, but Touka says this was the real reason she asked for her input. She wanted to confirm whether Ui cared more about the emotional impact on the AIs than just the technical threat.
Touka proposes a solution: she won’t destroy the game or fully rebuild it. Instead, she will modify the fundamental constants of the game world. By changing those "laws of physics," she makes it theoretically possible to cross into the real world—but in practice, it would require near-infinite energy. In short, she makes it effectively impossible without destroying the characters’ hope. The AI will believe it’s possible, but they will never be able to succeed.
Ui thanks her and is relieved that the characters still have something to believe in, even if it’s unreachable. Touka finishes applying the new settings and prepares to restart time in the game world. Before ending the intermission, the girls quietly wonder how their in-game counterparts will respond—will they give up or keep going despite the odds?
Tsuruno and Felicia's counterparts remain determined to reach the Wishing Star, now facing an impossible barrier they don't yet understand.
Chapter 5 - The End of the World
Shigure informs the others that the Three Magi have altered the world's fundamental constants, making their original plan impossible. The energy required to send someone through the Wishing Star has increased by seven orders of magnitude (10 million times). Even transmitting sound, like Meguru's voice, would now require more energy than they could collect in a lifetime. The Central Tower's equipment also can't handle such vast energy.
After a few days of despair, Yukika recalls the magical medal game in Candy Town that can multiply objects infinitely. They test it with energy cartridges—successfully doubling their reserves. With this, they realize they can bypass the energy deficit.
Yukika, Mikage, Riko, and Sudachi use the medal game to amass energy cartridges in Candy Town. Meanwhile, Library Town's Kako, Mikura and Temari locate an abandoned observatory (via radio SOS) to replace the Central Tower for energy transmission. Tsuruno and Felicia also retrofit Super Reindeer #2 to withstand the journey.
When Yukika hits a Jackpot Chance, the system detects anomalous energy and activates. Yukika is pulled into a Barrier dimension to fend off enemies, and the world's security system spawns enemies across towns to stop them.
Nayuta and Lavi transport energy cartridges through a salvaged vehicle, while Shizuka Chiharu and Sunao defend the bridge to the Central Tower and Kako, Mikura and Temari man the observatory.
Tsuruno and Felicia fight through the tower's defenses, defeating the Security System guardian. At the rooftop, beneath the Wishing Star they send their final wish signals. Felicia claims "I want to recover what I lost," while Tsuruno has no wish, simply seeking accomplishment through her own effort.
The observatory fires the energy beam—disintegrating them into data particles to cross the boundary. Beyond the End, Tsuruno accepts her fate in the void, satisfied to have reached "the mightiest feat in history," and Felicia recovers her lost memories—fragments of her past life with her "family"—before the Wishing Star's light.
Epilogue
The morning after, Felicia wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, groggy from staying up late playing Little Vacation with Ui, Tsuruno, and others. The Mikazuki Villa team discusses the game's strange developments over breakfast. Tsuruno and Delicia check the game but find their characters missing from the virtual world.
Ui discovers the characters have escaped the game and now appear on her phone's interface. The avatars announce themselves:
Tsuruno: "We're your old pals, the Reindeer Santas!"
Felicia: "We can visit anywhere on the 'net!"
The characters physically crossed into the digital world after the Wishing Star incident. Their disintegration into data particles (stardust) allowed them to traverse networks freely. Now, they exist as digital entities beyond the game's confines.
Felicia is amused, while Ui is shocked but also intrigued by the implications. Iroha, Yachiyo and Sana are now curious about the game and what they're talking about, but they refuse to explain further.
