Summary
A magical girl who belongs to the History Research club at Kosho Academy. She serves as the head of the club. Although she has a top-class academic record, she loves history anyways and the trend is attracting attention at the school. She is particularly enthusiastic about examining the historical sites and literature of Kamihama, and devotes herself to her research every day.
Doppel Description
The Doppel of interment. Its form is grave goods.
The master of this emotion feels no small sense of relief towards her Doppel, which can bury not just physical material, but also emotions, memories and even concepts.
This Doppel appears from within the earth, secures a position for itself with its haniwa[1]-shaped beacons, then pours down a massive amount of sediment to create a kofun[2] on that position. Those who touch the kofun’s soil will have something of theirs entombed and lost, though not necessarily something tangible. This is an act of good will on the Doppel’s part, and everything it does is for its master’s sake. However, it’s unclear as to whether or not this emotion’s master is aware of that.

At Kosho Academy, in the Historical Research Club, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading. Temari answers that she reads “The Essence of the Novel” by Tsubouchi Shōyō, and a surprised Mikura asks if she had not read that story before, but Temari answers that she read it again because that day she saw it on a television program called “Literary Promenade.” several discoveries he made about Tsubouchi Shōyō's writing and wanted to re-read his novel. Mikura says that she didn't know that Temari watches television, and she admits that she only does so occasionally if she watches literature-related programs. Temari later asks Mikura about the local history newspaper she reads, so Mikura tells her that it is about an exhibition of a tea set at the Mizuna Art Museum, commenting that it was acquired by the curator who wrote the article that is reading, although she confesses that it is about herself. Temari is surprised that Mikura reads what she herself wrote. They both remain silent for a moment but at that moment they both realize that Seira is there when she hears her say that the two seem to get along well. Temari asks since when Seira came in there and she says since they started talking about Tsubouchi Shōyō. Mikura asks Seira how she can say they get along if they were silent for a while, but Seira says it's because the two of them have always been together, and Mikura says it's because there are few students at school who are from the same town. and they take the same train home together. Seira says that it is much more than that, since the two are in the same class and have always been together eating at lunch and after school. Temari says that it is true and that Mikura is not a bother to her and Mikura replies that Temari avoids people she doesn't like out of pure instinct, while Temari asks if she is a cat. Mikura believes that the reason they get along so well is because the two tend to go about their business without giving importance to others. Mikura proceeds to ask Seira about the envelope she is holding, and Seira says that the school counselor gave it to her for the president of the Historical Research Club, that is Mikura, to read. Temari asks about the letter and Mikura informs her that it is a report of the progress in the Kofun excavation behind Kosho Academy. Seira remembers that it is the Kofun discovered by Mikura and mentions how surprised she was when she heard about the hill behind her school turning out to be a Kofun all the time, however Mikura doesn't pay attention at first as she is distracted reading the report. When Temari brings Mikura out of her thoughts, Seira tells her that it is because of topics that she feels are "almost" as if they were in a real Historical Research Club, which bothers Mikura a little, while Temari remembers that back then she still hadn't They formed the club while Mikura begins to reminisce, saying that it hasn't been long since they became magical girls. Mikura was always interested in the small hill behind Kosho Academy, but one day she found out that a project was going to be done to tear down the hill to make way for one more road for Kamihama City. The reason for Mikura's interest was a stone monument dedicated to a Shishi during the Meiji Restoration era, so when Mikura heard about the construction she decided to go see it one last time and decided to climb the hill. Upon reaching the top of the hill Mikura found a hokora, a small Shinto shrine dedicated to the Kami, which surprised her. Mikura is surprised and estimates that the hokora must be very recent and she estimates that it must be about 50 years old and wonders if it has been rebuilt if that is why it is in such good condition. Mikura decides to go to the bookstore and searches for local documents of Kamihama's history, finding that the hokora was built for the kami Ryūjin, discovering that it is from the pre-war era before the Edo period. Mikura thanks the historian who wrote the book he is reading about, but finds in the footnotes of a research journal that it actually appears that the hokora was built by a monk as a thank you to the locals for allowing him to sleep there. . Mikura finds that the second story has more sources and citations even from ancient manuscripts, so he sets out to investigate these sources the next day, but before leaving he decides to look at maps of the area to see the hill in better detail, suspecting that before it may have been grasslands or farms. Upon seeing different recent panoramic photos of the hill, Komachi realizes that the hill is probably a Kofun, megalithic tombs or mounds in Japan. Mikura tries to dissuade herself by thinking that the round shape of the hill is “natural”, and she doesn't think it's a Kofun of a large size that could not be discovered today, and he considers it only a coincidence that the paths on the hill appear to be made by humans. However, Mikura thinks about the hokora and considers that this is evidence that could prove the existence of a Kofun that may have been forgotten centuries ago, remaining in the memory of others as "a sacred hill." Mikura begins to make various theories to explain the existence of the hokora and the legend behind the true events, but he believes that it is too early to jump to certain conclusions and decides to continue his investigations. Ella Mikura was always interested in the small hill behind Kosho Academy, but one day she found out that a project would be carried out to tear down the hill to make way for one more road for Kamihama City. The reason for Mikura's interest was a stone monument dedicated to a Shishi during the Meiji Restoration era, so when Mikura heard about the construction she decided to go see it one last time and decided to climb the hill.

Mikura begins to make various theories to explain the existence of the hokora and the legend behind the true events, but she believes that it is too early to jump to certain conclusions and decides to continue her investigations. The next day, Mikura begins to make new things in the Kamihama University bookstore, leaving Temari surprised by her actions. Arriving at the bookstore, Mikura receives help from the bookstore to view microfilms with the files that Mikura wants to study, and eventually Mikura manages to find a passage with the description of the hokora, discovering that it has existed since the Muromachi period and that since its registration it was very old, so Mikura proceeds to investigate if any artifacts have been found since then. The next day Temari asks Mikura if she won't eat her lunch, but Mikura had not realized this while Temari points out that Mikura is too absorbed in her research and that it is strange for someone "relatively normal" like her, although sometimes Mikura doesn't like the word "relative" and admits that getting more lost in thought, such as forgetting to eat or sleep, is a Temari thing. Temari questions Mikura about what she has been doing those days and she tells him everything she has discovered on the hill behind Kosho Academy. Temari admits to not being that interested and Mikura says that there probably isn't anything, but Temari tells her that if she has suspicions, she should continue investigating while Mikura states that she only has hypotheses that can't be proven and tells Temari that there could be a Kofun underneath. the hill. Mikura tells Temari of her evidence, such as the topography of the hill and how the roads and waterways appear to have been made by humans, as well as how the general distance between Kofuns and roads is like that between the hills. and the way to school. Temari agrees with Mikura and remembers that other Kofun were found in the same area of the Kosho district. The two girls wonder how experts have not noticed this, and Mikura assumes that if she is right, it could be the largest Kofun in the area and due to its size, they discarded the idea that it could exist. Mikura continues her investigation and finds that there are records of haniwa fragments found near the hill and that they are records from the Edo period. Temari suspects that this means the hill must really be a Kofun, but Mikura only considers it as a clue because they don't know how close she found it to the hill. Mikura proceeds to try to eat lunch, but the break is already over. Mikura proceeds to write up the conclusion she had reached that the hill used to be a Kofun, which she presented to a friend of hers, who is a curator at the Kamihama local history museum. Mikura hoped that an academic could help her so that the information would reach the ears of an archaeologist before they began demolishing the hill. The curator praised Mikura's work and agreed with her hypothesis, however, he did not believe that her research would be enough to stop work and begin an excavation of the hill. This made Mikura sad, but the curator proposed to consult with an expert on the Kofun period because smaller Kofun were discovered every year, although the possibility of finding one of a large size seemed very strange to him and he does not believe that many experts could have interest in carrying out such a large excavation. Mikura becomes depressed by this and recognizes that, although as a child she has always had an interest in history and has excelled in these fields, archeology is another area of knowledge that she does not know much about, except that it is a field that requires many experts, so he feels that he may have overanalyzed something very basic and without much depth. The curator tells Mikura how her professor at Kamihama University an expert on the subject is and proposes to show her her research work. Mikura agrees but the curator warns her that she could receive a negative response. The next day she Mikura presented her work to her history teacher, who congratulated her for having done a great job. Mikura asked her if it would be possible to excavate the hill before work on it begins, as she fears that some sacred chamber could be destroyed. Her teacher says that excavations could be carried out if something is found during construction, but Mikura fears that it will destroy part of the Kofun, but her teacher tries to calm her down by saying that even if there is a low probability that there is a Kofun under the hill, they could seek to carry out excavations, but the problem would be talking to the government because it is the City government that has the right to that land. Mikura tells her teacher everything she talked about with the curator of the local history museum, which the teacher thinks is good. However, Mikura doesn't think it's enough and her teacher recommends that the influence of an expert teacher could help her. Later, Mikura is contacted by the professor at Kamihama University, as he believes that he has strong arguments and could be right, being impressed that he was able to write something like that as a high school student. However, the professor finds two weak arguments in Mikura's document: the haniwa fragments from the Edo period, since the document found by Mikura is not so well known, and the origin of the fragments is associated with the other small kofun found in the vicinity of the hill. The second argument against is the shape of the supposed Kofun of the hill, since as this is circular it would be classified as a Kofun “enpun” or circular Kofun, and the only other Kofun of a similar size would be a Kofun "Zenpou-kouen-fun ", a keyhole-shaped Kofun, so it would have to be a circular Kofun older than the ones they have found, and its characteristics do not fit with the circular Kofun. Despite this, the professor congratulates Mikura and tells her that one day she could be a great researcher. Ella Mikura thinks that she should find how to debate those two points in historical sources. Mikura gets sad because of the situation, and she thinks that if she wasn't a high school girl, she wouldn't even have received a call from the teacher. Temari snaps Mikura out of her thoughts and reminds her that she must return to her village. Before leaving, Mikura tells Temari everything the professor told her and about the flaws in her arguments, despite having congratulated her. Mikura thinks that it is her fault that she is a kind of “omnivore” of knowledge, being interested in Japanese history, world history, and even local history and art history, among others. Mikura claims to be ignorant on the subject despite having taken an interest in the Kofun issue. Temari asks Mikura what brought her to intuit that the hill could be a Kofun, since she believes that Mikura may have seen something that will lead her to make that connection. Mikura comments that it was because of the panoramic aerial photos of the hill because the roads on it seem to differ from the natural topography of a hill. Mikura then realizes that she thought it might be a keyhole shaped Kofun instead of being circular, as it was photographs of keyhole Kofuns that she thought of instead of circular Kofuns. Temari asks how it can be possible and Mikura considers that the rectangular part could have been eroded by the passage of time, Mikura thanks Temari while saying that she loves her and runs off to do more research while Temari smiling says that Mikura has already recovered. Mikura begins to analyze the terrain between the hill and Kosho Academy, seeing that it could be the rectangular part. A few days later Mikura went with a new thesis to see the professor at Kamihama University with her new observations. In his new writing, Mikura used an Edo period text about natural disasters and explains that there is a river near the hill that used to have an old bridge and how he found in one passage that “one of the twin hills collapsed” during a flood. of the river “leaving half the hill as undeveloped land.” The bridge of the appointment is still in the same place, very close to the Kosho Academy and the hill, so the professor considers that Mikura's theory could be true and congratulates her because he believes that no academic previously could suspect that she was a Kofun "Zenpou-kouen-fun." However, the professor says that they have a problem because the fund for the construction of the road on the hill was tested the day before, and although it would be a long time before it starts, the Kamihama government would not find it practical to invest in an archaeological excavation. to do it for the construction of a road, at least not without outside help. As the two walk home in the afternoon, Mikura tells Temari about the situation, to which she tells her that she did everything she could and that she can't blame herself. Mikura says it's true, but it makes her sad because there may be ancient nobles buried beneath the mountain, but she can't do anything to convince the government to dig. Temari says that she is happy to see that Mikura is so dedicated and that she will be a good researcher, because she is not interested in fame, she just wants to see the Kofun, and Mikura says that it is because the real protagonists are those who lived the story buried in the hill and laments that he could have gotten the investigation done had he done his research sooner. At that moment Kyubey appears in front of the two girls and introduces himself. Temari wonders if they are having auditory and visual hallucinations, but Kyubey denies it is a hallucination and explains that he wants to make a contract with them in exchange for becoming magical girls who fight witches. Temari thinks it's a somewhat demonic proposal, but Mikura is determined to make a contract because she wants to know the thoughts and feelings of the ancient people buried in history. A surprised Temari asks if she is sure, and Mikura answers that she is and makes her wish: “I want to make the excavation of that Kofun a reality. I want to feel the breath of those people buried in history.” After becoming a magical girl, Mikura receives a call in which the museum curator and the professor inform her that they managed to convince the University to carry out the excavations before construction began, thanks to the help of a member of the council, and that even the construction could be canceled. At that moment, Seira, appears in the distance, seeing Mikura and Temari with Kyubey. Back in the present, Seira mentions that they really found a Kofun on the hill after all. Temari and Seira remember how this discovery thanks to the thesis of a high school girl made Mikura a celebrity, but Mikura assures that it is because the council member attracted the media on purpose to make sensational news about the discovery. Kofun could stop the highway construction project. Temari says the title of the news headline while an embarrassed Mikura asks her not to say it, although she is happy to know that they found the burial chamber perfectly intact because of her wish, so she says that it is good that it was granted through the sensational news. Seira says that taking advantage of Mikura's popularity they were also able to open their Historical Research Club where they can practically do whatever they want. Seira asks about Mikura's report and Mikura shows it to him, including the photos s that were taken from the interior of the Kofun, which for Seira are very beautiful. Temari says she is surprised by the almost perfect state of conservation of the tombs and murals inside, while Mikura says that this was a great discovery that has left the academic world in a scandal, but Mikura is simply happy that the relics were preserved. Temari, however, wonders if it is possible that relics from over 1,000 years ago could be found in such good condition, or the condition in which they were found was the result of the miracle granted by Kyubey. Mikura thanks Temari, but she assures that she should thank Kyubey, but Mikura says that if she had given up before she would not have been able to convince the professor and the curator to carry out excavations |
