| Oriko Mikuni? Talk about a fall from grace... | |
| Her father got caught up in some corruption scandal, then offs himself?! What a total stain on their good family name. | |
| I'd literally die from the humiliation! | |
| Then die already. | |
| What's your deal, Komaki? | |
| Like, you've said the same things too! | |
| Yes, and I can. | |
| Because I say those things to her face. | |
| You know...it's funny how uppity people get with new money... | |
| SHUT UP! | |
| You'll earn your right to gripe once you surpass me! | |
| Just calm down, Komaki... | |
| Sorry! She's sort of a hothead, ya know... | |
| Good family this and "new money" that! | |
| Who said you could go off and start social hierarchies in a school?! | |
| Say, Komaki... Why do you even care about Oriko? | |
| Because...she's just irritating. | |

| (Narration) Komaki Asako | Perfect grades, perfect face, and the perfect kind of popular. She's the envy of the whole school. |
| (Narration) | And in an instant, her reputation changed. |
| She's a blight on our school... | |
| She's got some nerve showing her face here... | |
| Everyone was practically worshipping her before. | |
| And what's worse—she won't even stick up for herself. | |
| How can you not be irritated?! | |

| Why are you letting all these pip-squeaks get away with saying whatever they want? | |
| I thought you were trying to be a leader here. | |
| Huh?! | |
| I have no intention of buddying up with a bunch of "good family" pip-squeaks! | |
| I am who I am! | |
| And I, Komaki Asako, am here to pick a fight! | |

| Well, you're straightforward, even if your approach is bit clumsy. | |

| They're senseless and thorny lowlifes who bring misfortune to humans. | |
| You could've died, Oriko! | |
| And I'm... I'm a...M-magical... | |
| Magical Girl. | |
| You always seem to stutter through that part. Why is that? | |
| Shut up! | |
| I'm a third year middle schooler! How ridiculous does it sound calling myself that? | |
| A Magical Girl? | |
| I-it's not like I'm doing this for fun, you know! | |
| My wish came true so I've got no choice! | |
| Your wish? What did you wish for? | |
| Well, it wasn't big or anything! | |
| Wait, Oriko! | |
| You aren't thinking of becoming a Magical Girl too, are you?! | |
| Don't you dare take it lightly. A Witch fight is a fight for your life. | |
| And there's even in-fighting... | |
| ...amongst Magical Girls themselves, I hear. | |
| Komaki, just calm down a bit. | |
| Oh, that's right... The one thing I'll never get used to. | |
| And that's Kyubey, whom you can't even see, it seems! | |
| Well, I'm leaving then. | |
| And Oriko! | |
| Don't come to school anymore. | |
| When you're there, it's like chum in the water for these small fries. | |
| Thank you. | |
| But I'd rather be at school than cooped up at home. | |
| Hmph. If you say so... | |

| (Until now, I...) | |
| (Narration) Oriko Mikuni | ...was seen only as a reflection of my brilliant father. |
| (Narration) Oriko Mikuni | So, in exchange for a Magical Girl's fate, I wished to learn the meaning of my existence. |
| (And...the answer was...) | |
| (...to save the world by locating a single girl...) | |
| ♪ Music stops. | |

| ♪ Musical track: Umbra Nigra | |
| Hey, Oriko. | |
| I saw that Magical Girl prospect you were talking about before. | |
| (Narration) Kyubey | I felt she's a little too immature, but she seems to have talent enough. There's even precedent for it already. |
| I'll try and talk to her after checking her out a bit more. | |
| So thank you, Oriko. | |
| Kyubey, I'm the one who should be thanking you. | |
| Not only for making my wish come true, of course. | |
| But also for teaching me about Witches— an irrational malevolent force existing beyond the power of human intervention. | |
| And for giving me the power to defeat them. | |
| So I'll save this world tormented by Witches. | |
| Right now, this is my one and only goal. | |
| I know I'll live up to your expectations for me someday. | |
| That's a relief to hear. | |
| Now I understand that it's not motivation you're lacking. | |
| Of course not. It's the path I've chosen after all. | |
| ...... | |
| (Kyubey...) | |
| (Go on and waste all of your effort.) | |
| (Narration) Oriko Mikuni | As long as you're concerned with Yuma Chitose, you'll never get to reach "her." |
| (Narration) Oriko Mikuni | But I won't get to reach her either if I keep on like this. |

| But I got stuck on one little problem. | |
| I can't remember why I wished for it in the first place. | |
| Kyubey was spoutin' somethin' or other about side effects of my wish. | |
