Asuka Tatsuki
I used to watch my older cousin striving
through practice, day and night...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101330.png
Asuka Tatsuki
And I admired him as he spoke of his dreams
with a huge grin.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101330.png
Asuka Tatsuki
So, if even a little, I wanted to become
strong enough to help him!

Episode 1

These are the recollections of a wish...
...made by a Magical Girl named
Asuka Tatsuki.
♪ Musical track: Memories
—Asuka Tatsuki—
As the only child of the Dojo Master of the
historic Ryushinkan Dojo, I'm training
now in hopes becoming a master myself.
—Asuka Tatsuki—
I'm also an assistant instructor in the
Ryushin-style Naginata technique, which has
been passed down through my father's side...
*Clang*
—Asuka Tatsuki—
"We have a winner!
That's enough sparring for today..."
File:Exedra Story Icon 800202.png
Asuka Sensei... Why do you think I keep
losing my matches?
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
It looks to me like your movements are
too stiff throughout.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
So your reaction time is a smidge slower than
your opponent's.
File:Exedra Story Icon 800202.png
Oh... I think that could be it.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
The unrest within reveals itself in your
weapon.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
So if it's only during matches when you lose
your nerve...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
...your best bet is to practice sparring even
more to raise your confidence...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
...and maintain your calm during real
matches.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
For starters, try consciously loosening
yourself up a bit during practice.
That should help.
File:Exedra Story Icon 800202.png
I see... Thank you!
File:Exedra Story Icon 800202.png
You're so good at teaching!
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
......
Maybe. I sometimes wonder...
File:Exedra Story Icon 800202.png
...Huh?
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
Oh, it's nothing.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
Well, I've got a thing after this, so I'm
leaving for the day now.
♪ Music stops.
—Asuka Tatsuki—
I was headed to see Mitama, the Coordinator.
With an appointment at five, I would get
there with time to spare.

Mitama Yakumo
You're laaate!
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
Huh...?
File:Exedra Story Icon 101730.png
Mitama Yakumo
You booked me for an ultra-special session.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101730.png
Mitama Yakumo
And I'd been waiting for this chance to put
all my skills to use!
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
Uh, but wasn't my appointment for
five o'clock?
File:Exedra Story Icon 101730.png
Mitama Yakumo
It was for three o'clock.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
What?
File:Exedra Story Icon 101730.png
Mitama Yakumo
You booked me for three o'clock, and these
three stand as my witness!
File:Exedra Story Icon 101031.png
Momoko Togame
I definitely heard "three" when you two
finally agreed.
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
Asuka, you sure this mistake wasn't another
one of your weird assumptions?
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
It can't be...!
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
I remember writing "five o'clock" in my
calendar...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
...but looking at it now, the calendar says
"three o'clock".
File:Exedra Story Icon 101131.png
Kaede Akino
Uh huh, I get it. That kind of thing happens
all the time.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101131.png
Kaede Akino
That's why you should recheck your calendar
once a day, like when you wake up!
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
I did check it this morning... But I was sure
it said "five o'clock" even before I checked
it.
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
These assumptions trip you up way too much.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
Ugh!
File:Exedra Story Icon 101730.png
Mitama Yakumo
Misassumptions and taking things the
wrong way...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101730.png
Mitama Yakumo
...are classic Asuka though.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
Aghhh!
File:Exedra Story Icon 101730.png
Mitama Yakumo
Lucky for you, I'll forgive you this time.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101730.png
Mitama Yakumo
A walk-in showed up, so I was able to fill
the slot.
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
Have you always been like this, Asuka?
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
I guess...
You could even say the reason why I became a
Magical Girl...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
...all came down to a misassumption.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101131.png
Kaede Akino
Really...?
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
But how exactly?

Episode 2

♪ Musical track: Remain
—Asuka Tatsuki—
It all began two years ago...
—Asuka Tatsuki—
...around the time one of my older cousins
was training at our Ryushinkan Dojo.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
You're gonna become a police officer!
File:Exedra Story Icon 801100.png
Asuka's Cousin
Slow down. I haven't even taken the
exam yet, let alone passed it.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
But I know you will!
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
The whole family believes in you!
Go make your dreams come true!
—Asuka Tatsuki—
...By coincidence, my family was coming up on
another turning point during that time.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
What?! Uncle wants to run for mayor?!
File:Exedra Story Icon 801100.png
Asuka's Cousin
Not really... The mayor was retiring anyway,
people were pushing him to go for it.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
What are you saying? Uncle is one of
the most prominent people in the region.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
He's the perfect candidate for the job!
—Asuka Tatsuki—
But we'd never have guessed the incident that
followed...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
An election law violation?!
You mean...?
File:Exedra Story Icon 801100.png
Asuka's Cousin
He bought votes, sending out small gifts with
requests to support him...
File:Exedra Story Icon 801100.png
Asuka's Cousin
I can't believe it. And he did it so
openly...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
What about the exam?
File:Exedra Story Icon 801100.png
Asuka's Cousin
Oh, I'm still taking it. Don't worry!
File:Exedra Story Icon 801100.png
Asuka's Cousin
My dad's problems are all his.
My life is my own.
—Asuka Tatsuki—
I didn't see him for a while after that, so I
just kept worrying about my cousin...
—Asuka Tatsuki—
Because of my uncle's scandal, I thought—no,
I just assumed my cousin wouldn't be able to
get the police job he was aiming for.
—Asuka Tatsuki—
It was then that he appeared...
File:Exedra Story Icon 810030.png
Kyubey
Hey there, Asuka Tatsuki.
—Asuka Tatsuki—
I heard that making a contract with Kyubey
would make any wish come true. So I did it
without a second thought.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
Please...make my cousin a police officer!

File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
...And so, I became a Magical Girl.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101131.png
Kaede Akino
Um, so if your dad causes a scandal
like that...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101131.png
Kaede Akino
...does it mean you can never join
the police?
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
No... I looked into it later.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
And although they do all sorts of background
checks during the hiring...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
...there's no rule about refusing employment
because of something a parent did.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101031.png
Momoko Togame
And there ya have it. Another assumption run
wild...
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
Huh? Then that means...
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
...you never needed to become a Magical Girl,
Asuka?
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
That's right.
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
Wait! How are you so chill about it?!
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
That's enough to make me faint from the shock
alone...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
Well, since it was just me who suffered from
my own misunderstanding, it's no big deal.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
Besides, my cousin quit the force the other
day to change careers.

File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
Is this discussion so important that we had
to move somewhere else?
File:Exedra Story Icon 101730.png
Mitama Yakumo
Oh yes. Very important.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101730.png
Mitama Yakumo
Don't you realize what you're saying?
You resigned yourself to the fate of fighting
Witches...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101730.png
Mitama Yakumo
...only for your cousin to quit the
police job you handed him on a plate!
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
But it's not like he asked me to make that
wish for him...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101131.png
Kaede Akino
Y-yes, but still...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
I'll admit I was surprised to hear he made a
clean break from a job he wanted that badly.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
But after actually joining the force,
it seems like police work turned out to be
different from what he imagined.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
And now that he's found a job in development
assistance for foreign countries...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
...he seems to be very fulfilled by it.
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
So, not only did you needlessly make a wish
based on a wrong assumption...
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
...but your wish turned out meaningless on
top of it all!
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
I'd faint from the shock alone.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101031.png
Momoko Togame
Stop bein' so dramatic, Rena.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101031.png
Momoko Togame
Two times is enough to hear about how easily
you faint.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
I suppose it's meaningless, as you say.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
But my cousin is happy now.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
And I'm still on my path to mastering my
martial arts. So what's the problem...?
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
Talk about mettle...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101730.png
Mitama Yakumo
Sounds like you don't have any regrets—not
even about a different wish you could've
made.

Episode 3

♪ Musical track: Memories
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
But for real though. You really don't regret
it?
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
I made a firm resolution when I chose to
become a Magical Girl.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
And that was to destroy the Witches wreaking
havoc on this world and protect the daily
lives of everyone in it.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
That's the only thing on my mind during a
battle. My only focus!
File:Exedra Story Icon 101730.png
Mitama Yakumo
Incredible. I doubt I could even pretend
to have such strength.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
It's no big deal, I mean... Well...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
Making a contract with Kyubey based on a
total misunderstanding...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
...was pretty careless on my part.
And I see that now.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
And you all know very well that
getting carried away with assumptions
is a fault of mine.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
So I often have little regrets, you could
say...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101131.png
Kaede Akino
Then it's not that you never regret your
actions, huh?
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
It's just that as long as I'm the only one
caught up, I don't care how tough things get.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101730.png
Mitama Yakumo
Oh, so basically, you don't regret the burden
you carry?
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
Exactly.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
If someone else's path got derailed,
for example...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
I would really give myself grief over it.
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
So, if you HAVE regretted something, it was
because of what happened to someone else
then?
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
Yes, well... You could say that.
Because it did...
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
......
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
Oh! Not like you gotta talk about it here!
File:Exedra Story Icon 101031.png
Momoko Togame
...Anyway, you wished for him to become a
police officer, right?
File:Exedra Story Icon 100931.png
Rena Minami
Does that mean your weapon turns into a
police baton or somethin'?
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
Well, as befits my background,
it's a naginata.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101131.png
Kaede Akino
Do you have any special powers? Like Rena's
transformation magic.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
Well, there's my naginata technique. But it's
the result of many years of training.
File:Exedra Story Icon 101331.png
Asuka Tatsuki
So, I can't say I have any particular magical
abilities...

But she's supposed to be super strong,
you know.

I heard that the west side girls are
bringing several of their teams together...
