Summary
A Magical Girl enjoying the summer sun and sea. Although she usually can't swim, this Magical Girl Form allows her to do so, so well she can even catch fish while doing it. Powerful as ever, she uses her beachball to rain fire upon her enemies, especially Mitama.
Doppel Description
The Doppel of self-abandonment. Its form is a warrior actress.
The master of this emotion doesn’t trust her Doppel’s enigmatic power, but since she’s temporarily become able to swim, she’s actually on cloud nine. And though she normally views her Doppel as nothing but loathsome, it can use its hypnosis magic to project a vision of swimming freely through the sea, which transforms it into a source of elation for its master. This is also reflected in its method of attack: the Doppel has fused with a large mirror, with which its master can collect the sunlight beaming down behind her and concentrate it into a ferocious heat ray. If there is nothing left to attack, they ride away on the candle holder (now a sea turtle) and swim along with the fish.

Homura Akemi, Mami Tomoe, Sayaka Miki, and Madoka Kaname are all glad to be back at the beach. Sayaka is surprised that Kyoko was the one to invite them but Kyoko recounts what happened. Mitama Yakumo had asked Kyoko to transform for her. Kyoko transforms and once again she’s transformed into her magical swimsuit. Mitama was worried that might happen so she asks Kyoko for a bit more patient while she makes the necessary preparations. Kyoko says that’s fine as long as she can fix it. Mitama assures her she can and to make up for it she gives Kyoko tickets to a beachside all-you-can-eat buffet, telling her to go enjoy herself with her friends from Mitakihara. Sayaka knows the story since Kyoko told them earlier but she’s still surprised that Kyoko actuallyinvited them to hang out. Kyoko tells her she doesn’t have to eat and waves the ticket in her face. Sayaka says she didn’t mean it and takes the ticket from her. Inside Kyoko is sorry for all the trouble she probably caused them when they got stranded on that deserted island and hands Mami and the others their tickets to the buffet. The girls decide to go swimming but Kyoko tells them she can go swimming later and makes a beeline for the buffet. After they’re done swimming, Madoka and the rest head to the buffet but don’t see Kyoko anywhere. Sayaka thinks she must have finished eating already until Kyoko calls to the group from where she’s sitting outside. She finishes up her shaved ice and Madoka comments on all the empty plates in front of her. Kyoko says she’s just getting started and heads back into the buffet line for more food. Mami warns her to be careful and not overdo it. Sayaka tells Kyoko she should go swimming at some point while there here and questions if she really can swim now. Kyoko says she can as long as she has this form and jumps into the ocean to show them. Mami asks if she had something done to her Soul Gem and wonders how that would even work. Kyoko doesn’t care how it works now that she can swim and she challenges Sayaka to a swimming race. Sayaka thinks those are bold words for someone who was using a float last time they were at the beach, but Kyoko says she could have beaten Sayaka in a race even with her float. They ask Mami to be the judge and begin racing in the water. After 5 losses and 5 wins each, Sayaka is getting tired even though Kyoko is down for another round. Mami suggests they do something together instead and Sayaka notices that Madoka is talking to someone from the restaurant. They go over to Madoka who explains that the restaurant sets up cliff diving into the sea. It’s a good spot for beginners so she was suggesting it to them. They all head to the cliff where an instructor has them line up so they can jump one at a time after he explains the rules to them. Sayaka thinks she sees someone she knows as the girl at the head of the line jumps off the cliff and into the ocean, all while yelling about how she’s doing it for her beloved Hayato. They notice that several of the Magical Girls from Kamihama are there, including Mikazuki Villa. Ui wants to try cliff diving too since Felicia is doing it but Yachiyo dissuades her since Ui doesn’t know how to swim. Sayaka suggests they learn what the rules are and check it out before deciding on anything. They learn that the water is 15 feet deep so they have to be good swimmers to try it out. Kyoko says that’s not a problem for her anymore and she jumps off the cliff into the sea. She calls up to Sayaka, telling her it was tons of fun and a bit of a rush. Sayaka jumps into the sea and comes up smiling. Madoka and Homura don’t think they can do it so they just watch their friends instead. The sun begins to set as the manager tells them that cliff diving is done for the day. He informs the group that they’ll be open for diving for the next two days. Mami thinks it was tons of fun and got hooked after the first jump. Since it looked like everyone had fun, Madoka and Homura think they might like to try it out as well. Since Madoka has things to do with her family the next day, she suggests they all get together the day after. They all agree to meet up the day after and head out. Kyoko thinks it was a fun day for everyone and thinks she might ask Mitama if she can keep the form for the summer since being able to swim is very useful. Kyoko does just that and goes to see Mitama the next day. Mitama is ready to fix her Magical Girl form but Kyoko asks if it’s ok if she stays that way for the summer since swimsuits in summer are normal and she wants to be able to go swimming more. Mitama says that’s fine and tells her to come back whenever she likes since it’s her fault anyways. She asks if Kyoko has plans for the day but Kyoko was just going to go swimming alone since she has nothing better to do. Kyoko then takes off for the beach while Mitama is just happy to see her enjoy herself. Kyoko arrives at the beach but the place is crowded with people. She finally decides to jump into the ocean and she swims out into the deeper end. Kyoko doesn’t mind swimming with a float but knowing how to swim can be just as fun. As she swims around she hears heavy splashing nearby and notices that a child is drowning. Kyoko swims over and is just able to stand on the sand, allowing her to lift the child up above the water. It’s Ui Tamaki! Kyoko asks if she’s alright but Ui asks her to put her down. It turns out she wasn’t drowning at all but practicing her swimming. She show’s Kyoko her doggy paddle and as inelegant as it is she manages to stay afloat. Kyoko still thinks her style looks like someone drowning. She asks if the others are around but Ui had gone to the beach by herself after leaving a note at home because everyone else was too busy. Ui says she has to learn how to swim by tomorrow so she came to the beach to practice. Kyoko says she’s still too young to go swimming at the beach by herself. She asks her why she didn’t just have Mitama take a look at her Soul Gem instead but Ui is determined to learn the skill for herself. Ui asks if Kyoko can help her practice. Since she has nothing better to do, and figuring Ui is going to do it by herself anyways, Kyoko agrees to keep an eye on her while she practices. Kyoko can’t teach her herself since she doesn’t actually know how but at least Ui will stay safe this way. Ui tries splashing around a bit and proudly calls out to Kyoko when she manages to move forward a few inches. Kyoko stares at her in disbelief. Kyoko doesn’t think Ui is improving at all and she can’t understand why she wouldn’t want to take the easy way out and just ask Mitama. Ui asks her what’s wrong since Kyoko was just staring, so Kyoko tells her she’s doing it all wrong. When Ui asks her how she should be doing it, Kyoko recalls when Sayaka was trying to teach her how to swim. Sayaka offered to hold her hands so she could learn to float in the water by laying still. Then, while Kyoko kept her back straight, she had her try kicking her legs. Kyoko replicates the actions with Ui, but Ui kicks her legs out everywhich way. They stop and Kyoko swims a few laps so Ui can see how her legs move. Ui tries it again, only this time she keeps her legs straight. Kyoko thinks she’s improved quite a bit. Now that they’ve “mastered” the art of swimming above water, Ui wants to try her hand at staying underwater. Kyoko says that should be easy, but Ui claims she always floats right back to the top when she tries. Kyoko is surprised to see that Ui does indeed just float to the top like a buoy when she demonstrates for her. Ui asks her how to stay under since her sister makes it look so easy,but rather than answer her Kyoko suggests they take a quick break. Ui agrees and heads to the shore to get something to drink. Kyoko watches her and she thinks to herself that Ui has improved a lot more than she would have thought thanks to her determination. Kyoko catches up to Ui, who asks her if she’s going to buy anything. Kyoko doesn’t have any money so she just politely declines. Ui goes and buys a bottle of ramune and offers it to Kyoko. Kyoko notices she only has the one bottle and asks her what happened to hers. Ui replies that she only had enough money to buy one so she wanted Kyoko to have it as thanks for taking the time to teach her. Kyoko refuses it since Ui was the one who was thirsty and it was her money. Instead, Ui suggests they simply share the ramune so they can each get half. She even offers to let Kyoko keep the marble that’s in the bottle. Kyoko smiles and happily accepts. The two girls thank each other once more and enjoy the drink together. After their break, Ui is still determined to learn how to stay underwater. However, Kyoko doesn’t know how to help her with that since she can’t figure out why Ui keeps floating so easily. She wonders if maybe one of the Magical Girls from Kamihama is around to help them as she looks around on the beach. Just then Kyoko spies Sayaka in the distance and calls her over. It turns out Sayaka had forgotten her phone at the restaurant the other day and had come to pick it up. She asks what Kyoko is doing with Ui at the beach, but Kyoko tells her it’s a long story. Kyoko explains to Sayaka about Ui’s sinking problem and luckily Sayaka brought her swimsuit with her since she was going to do a bit of swimming after getting her phone. The group heads out into the water, just deep enough to swim but shallow enough for them to stand. Sayaka has Kyoko demonstrate how to swim underwater by having her dive for some seashells. Kyoko dives into the water. Ui is amazed at what a good swimmer Kyoko is, but Sayaka tells her the last time she tried this she was too good at staying under and didn’t come back up. Kyoko comes up to the surface and tells Sayaka she heard that. She shows Ui a pretty little white seashell she found at the bottom. Sayaka tells Ui to try her best to swim down to where Kyoko will be waiting for her under the water. Kyoko tells her not to take too long since she can’t hold her breath forever. Kyoko dives down while Ui dives down shortly after her. It takes a few moments longer but the two girls finally come up for air. Ui proudly shows Sayaka a seashell she picked up from the sandy bottom. Sayaka and Kyoko are both proud of how much she’s improved and Ui says it’s thanks to them. Ui wants to practice coming up from the bottom by going into deeper water. The two are willing to let Ui go into somewhat deeper water but they caution her to stay close to them at all times. Ui takes a deep breath as she prepares herself for another dive. Kyoko asks her if she’s sure she wants to continue since she knows how to swim and dive down now but Ui still wants to practice and learn how to swim back up from way down deep. Ui takes a deep breath and dives down deep into the water. Sayaka and Kyoko try to watch her but Ui manages to make a turn and they lose sight of her for a second. They start to worry since it’s been a good little while since she went down and just as they start to really worry, Ui pops back up to the surface a short distance from them. The two are relieved and figured Ui simply got too excited until they notice that Ui is making a face and flailing her arms around. That’s when they notice Ui was quickly getting further away from them. Sayaka figures that Ui must have been caught in a ripcurrent so Kyoko immediately dives into the water and takes off after Ui. Kyoko swims as fast and as hard as she can and manages to catch up to Ui and pull her back to safety. Ui looks a little frightened because she couldn’t swim back to them but Kyoko is just relieved that she made it in time. But as Kyoko tries to swim back with Ui, she notices that the current is really fighting her and they’re not making headway. Kyoko isn’t going to let them be washed up on that deserted island again. Sayaka makes motions at her and Kyoko finally figures out that Sayaka is trying to tell her to swim sideways. Kyoko grabs hold of Ui and swims sideways to get out of the rip current before swimming towards land. Safe on the beach, Kyoko catches her breath while Ui thanks them for saving her. Kyoko wonders if it was the ripcurrents and not the big wave that sent her and the others to that island. Sayaka tells Ui not to worry since it wasn’t her fault. They’re just glad she’s safe. Kyoko figures that’s it for her training since she almost drowned and asks Ui if she wasn’t scared. After a moment, Ui hesitantly admits that she was very scared but she’s still determined to practice and learn how to swim. Sayaka tells her there’s no rush to learn and the girls from MIkazuki Villa can teach her tomorrow, but Ui is adamant that she has to learn before tomorrow. Kyoko asks her if there isn’t something she’s not telling them and Ui says that all the girls are going to go diving tomorrow. Kyoko remembers the cliffdiving from the other day and how Iroha had told Ui she couldn’t go diving with them because she can’t swim even though Ui had really wanted to participate. Since tomorrow is the last day for cliffdiving, Ui needs to learn how to swim by the end of the day. This way she can prove herself and join in on the fun with the others. Sayaka and Kyoko look at Ui as she begs them to let her keep practicing. Kyoko now understands why she didn’t want to take the easy way and just have Mitama adjust her Soul Gem. Kyoko concedes and agrees to help Ui keep practicing. Sayaka is surprised to hear this from Kyoko, but Kyoko says she has to since she was paid in advance as she holds up the glass marble from the ramune bottle. Sayaka and Kyoko stay with Ui and help her practice until the sun sets. By now Ui has perfected the art of swimming and Kyoko gives her a big smile as she tells her to make sure to have fun tomorrow. Ui smiles back and promises them that she will. The next day the five girls from Mitakihara all meet up on the beach. Madoka talks about how excited she is to try cliff diving as they all change into their swimsuits. They all go up to the cliff where Sayaka and Mami have no trouble immediately jumping off and into the ocean. Madoka jumps too with Homura following close behind her. Kyoko jumps last, but not before wondering if Ui would be there today. The girls splash around in the ocean. Homura thinks it was scary at first but once you do it the fear just melts away. In fact, she’s ready for another go. The girls make their way back up the cliff where they find Ui and Iroha waiting. Iroha is telling Ui that she had already told her no because it’s too dangerous for her. Ui is insisting she knows how to swim now but Iroha is afraid it’s still too dangerous. Yachiyo agrees with Iroha and they suggest they do something different. But Ui is determined to try it, especially after how hard and long she practiced to improve her swimming. Kyoko watches but she thinks it’s not her place to interfere until she remembered just how hard Ui worked all of yesterday to improve. Kyoko steps up and asks them to give her a chance. Iroha tells Kyoko that she heard about how she taught Ui to swim and thanks her. Kyoko says it was no big deal since she just happened to be here. Kyoko then tells Iroha to give Ui a chance and tells her that Ui was almost swept away by a rip current the other day. Iroha hadn’t heard about this and is shocked. Kyoko then goes on to tell Iroha that, even though Ui was really scared by that, she never gave up and continued to work hard to practice and learn to swim. She describes Ui’s determination and hard work and asks Ui if she’s confident in her swimming skills. Ui says she is and she knows she can do this. Ui tells Iroha and Yachiyo that she can do it. Yachiyo and Iroha look troubled for a moment but they finally give their blessing and allow Ui to jump so long as she’s careful. Ui and Kyoko head to the edge and look down. Ui thinks it’s higher than she was expecting and, even though she’s a bit scared, she’s more exicted than scared. She thanks Kyoko for standing up for her and talking to Yachiyo andher big sister, but Kyoko says she didn’t do anything. Ui is the one who earned it through her own hard work when she could have just taken the easy way out. Kyoko realizes something but instead she tells Ui to go ahead and jump first. Ui steels herself up and jumps off the cliff into the sea. Iroha and Kyoko watch anxiously as they wait for Ui to come up to the surface. Kyoko tells Iroha not to worry since floating is Ui’s specialty. Just then Ui’s head pops up above the water as she happily calls up to the others. She yells words of thanks to Kyoko for training her and trusting her. Kyoko smiles back at her and jumps off the cliff as well. Back at Mitama’s place, Mitama asks Kyoko to transform once again. This time when Kyoko transforms it’s into her regular Magical Girl outfit. Kyoko says sorry for rushing Mitama like that but Mitama was happy to oblige since she had told her to come back whenever. Mitama asks if something happened since Kyoko was happy with wearing the swimsuit for the summer. Kyoko tells Mitama about how Ui almost got swept away but she still followed through with the decision she had made even though she could have taken the easy way out. Seeing a small child be that determined to learn how to do something made her feel bad for taking the easy way so she decided to practice and learn how to swim on her own without Mitama’s help. Kyoko asks Mitama if she can trade in a grief seed for money. Normally Mitama wouldn’t do such a trade but she asks Kyoko the reason why. Kyoko says she wants to buy some ramune but she needs money obtained through proper means to do so. She knows someone who’s good at floating and she wants to ask her to teach her, so she’ll need the ramune as payment. Mitama smiles and says she’ll make an exception for her. |

| I recently noticed that I haven’t seen a text from Mami-san for the past two days, and since she couldn't get ahold of Mitama, the swimsuit arrangements had to be delayed. I had found a spot that looked interesting, so I took a little detour. My reason for being tardy is a bit much, but... wasn't the timing for my appearance perfect? | 後で聞けば、マミさんからの連絡を２日見てなかったとか、
