Side Story

Kuroe wakes up to her alarm, dresses, and eats breakfast. Her mother is surprised at her early departure. She meets Iroha on the way to school and they discuss after-school patrols, with Kuroe downplaying her abilities and crediting Iroha for their success. Kuroe drifts into a dream where she confidently partners with Iroha during patrols, but upon waking up, she realizes she fell asleep in her uniform and laments the contrast between her dream and reality. After classes, Kuroe overhears classmates planning to visit a new shop, prompting her to reflect on her pre-magical girl social life, now faded from memory. San Kagura, a veteran magical girl, organizes a citywide meeting for training and collaboration for magical girls. Kuroe hesitantly attends, and gets paired with a timid magical girl with whom she has trouble communicating. During patrol, Kuroe detects a witch’s presence, but her partner struggles to keep up. Kuroe takes charge, strategizing to defeat the witch, and though successful, she offers her grief seed to her partner, who interprets it as pity and storms off. San checks on Kuroe, who blames herself for the failed teamwork and decides to withdraw and question her worth as a magical girl. Iroha then messages Kuroe, apologizing for her delayed response and proposing a meetup during her upcoming visit to Takarazaki, to which Kuroe eagerly agrees. Kuroe nervously reunites with Iroha, who calms her by sharing a limited-edition candy. To avoid classmates, they retreat to a park, and at a food truck, Iroha suggests ordering dessert to emulate a "normal" day. Kuroe hesitates but follows along, choosing juice while Iroha contemplates an extravagant crepe. They watch takoyaki being cooked, and Kuroe admires Iroha’s effortless kindness when she helps a lost elderly woman. Later, Kuroe returns a dropped wallet to a stranger and Iroha praises her. The two visit a movie-themed photo spot in Takarazaki, where they encounter Himena, Miyuri, and San reenacting a scene from a popular film. Upon seeing Kuroe, San leaves and Kuroe reveals the occasion where she ceded a grief seed to her partner. Despite the awkwardness, the two take a photo together, though Kuroe struggles to smile naturally. As evening falls, Iroha insists on helping Kuroe mend relationships with other magical girls and offers to mediate, to which Kuroe reluctantly agrees. They detect a familiar, but Kuroe hesitates until Iroha encourages her. They find a faint magical signal, discovering others battling familiars in the labyrinth. Kuroe rallies, attacking the witch with her full strength and defeating it. The rescued girl, who was her previous partner, thanks her, and Kuroe apologizes for offering the grief seed to her. San also praises Kuroe's growth in solo and team combat. Kuroe and Iroha part ways after a patrol, with Kuroe vowing to initiate their next meeting. She retakes a photo with Iroha, wanting to capture a genuine smile as a reminder. In a dream, Kuroe envisions patrolling confidently with Iroha, and once more resolves to become a strong, selfless magical girl like Iroha. A haunting voice mocks her aspirations, waking her up, but Kuroe dismisses it as a nightmare despite being unsettled by the recurring doubts. Kuroe notices increased fatigue and corruption of her soul gem but pushes herself to maintain her “ideal” persona, mimicking Iroha’s kindness in daily interactions, such as helping an elderly woman pick up a dropped handkerchief. The strain of upholding this image weighs on her, and at a convenience store, she impulsively buys the candy she shared with Iroha. |
Event Appearances
Trivia
- They, Amane Sisters (Swimsuit ver.), Tsuruno・Felicia (Delivery Girl ver.), Konoha・Hazuki and Leila・Seika are the only dual units who actually summon their Doppels rather than use a second Magia attack.
- They, along with Shi, were the last characters featured in a limited gacha one could roll for before the Japanese server shut down, similar to how Hanna Sarasa was one for the English server.
- Similar to Madoka・Iroha, Iroha・Kuroe could be considered an unofficial anime unit, their battle sprites greatly resemble the sprites of official anime units and both their first and second Magia are based on the anime (furthermore, Iroha's doppel uses the anime design).

Just waiting for the day she'll be saved, to be a little feather in a cap.
That night, a small fortune came our way. Turning longing into strength Until the day it reaches the stars, the feathers will continue to fly. | ただ救われる日を待っていた小さな羽根に
あの夜、舞い込んだのは小さな幸運 憧れを力に変えて 星に届くその日まで、羽根は飛び続ける |

**Unique to Kuroe (Swimsuit ver.)** There was no hesitation, no selfishness, or anything like that I was in the spreading bubbles, wondering what to do Still, I knew that you would do this without hesitation I also wanted to be the one who could save someone | 迷いがなかったとか、無我夢中だったとか、そんなことはなくて
広がる泡の中で、どうしようと思ってた それでも、あなたなら迷わずこうすると思ったから 私も誰かを救える私でいたかった |

"I'm afraid it might spin around if I push too hard..."
"That's a little surprising. I thought you were the bold one." "I don't think so, ah!. I think I might be a little wobbly." "I'll support you, so don't worry about it and try to pedal vigorously, okay?" | 「強くこいだらクルって回りそう…ちょっと怖いかも…」
「少し意外。環さんは思い切りが良い方だと思ってた」 「そんなことな、キャッ、ちょっとグラってしたかも…！」 「サポートするから、気にせず勢いよくこいでみよう？」 |

**Unique to Iroha・Kuroe** The first candy I received had a sweet, refreshing scent, and the gentle taste that filled my mouth would last forever. ...I guess it was because I was so excited at the time that I thought something so uncharacteristic. | 初めてもらった飴玉は、甘くて爽やかな香りがした
口いっぱいに広がる優しい味がずっと続けばいいのに …なんて、らしくないことを考えるくらいには あの時の私は浮かれていたのかも |

I want to chase after your back, which keeps getting further away, but my feet won't move a single step.
The shadows are closing in from behind, telling me I can't do it because I'm empty. It's horrible, it's not what I want, I only want your light. I want to be closer to you. If I reach out my hand, will you grab it...? | 遠くなる背中を追いかけたいのに、足が一歩も動かない
空っぽなお前には無理だと、影は背後から迫ってくる 嫌だ、嫌だ、光が欲しい。あなたのそばに、近づきたい この手を伸ばせば、掴んでくれる…？ |

"What is that...heh heh...! Tamaki-san, that's so weird...!"
"Pfft...ahaha, it's true!..." I am so content now, I could never have imagined it would have been like that when we first met. If this is a happy dream, please don't ever wake me up. | 「何それ…ふふ…！環さん、変なの…！」
「ぷっ…あははっ、本当だね…！」 初めて会った時からは想像もできないくらい、今が満ち足りている もしもこれが幸せな夢なら、ずっとずっと覚めないで |

The longings, ideals, and hopes that I thought would never be reached by my hands or my voice... were a star in the distance that no words can describe. Even though I know it's impossible, I can't help but wish that it wouldn't disappear like this. Please guide me. | 手も、声も、もう届かないと思っていた
憧れ、理想、希望…どんな言葉でも言い表せない彼方の星 無理だとわかっていても、願わずにはいられない このまま消えないで。どうか私を導いて |
