Sayaka: Once again, we got rid of the witch's minions.
Madoka: Sayaka-chan, are you alright? You look pale.
Sayaka: Huh? No… I’m alright.
Kyoko: Even if you can regenerate fast, your body will take its toll.
Sayaka: Shut up. This is how I fight!
Kyoko: So, charging and hack-n-slashing mobs is how you fight?
Sayaka: If I say yeah, would you have a problem with it?
Kyoko: Hey, watch your tone. I’m your senior.
Sayaka: There is no senior or junior in Witch hunting!
Mami: Pipe down, you two. Keep in mind who the enemy is.
Sayaka: Yeah, our enemies are Witches.
Madoka: Please. Don’t fight each other.
Homura: You’re not acting like a senior, Kyoko Sakura.
Kyoko: Yeah, yeah, alright. It’s all my fault!
Player: (Sayaka-chan must be shocked to hear that we Magical Girls are not human anymore.)
Mami: Okay, it is getting late, so we should all go home.
Sayaka: (…? There is someone on top of that building just now.)
Madoka: Sayaka-chan, we’ll leave you if you don’t hurry up.
Sayaka: (Someone else is watching us. Probably my imagination.)
??? (Komachi): So this is Mitakihara City. It is a good place.
??? (Claire): Those people are probably the ones protecting this city from the Witches.
??? (Elise): Looks like it. They seem like they can take a beating.
??? (Hiyori): ... Let’s hurry up and fight Witches.
??? (Komachi): I like to fight Magical Girls, though.
??? (Elise): No need to rush. We need to greet the Witches first.
Chapter 1: Even though… I don’t regret it.
Mami: Good morning, Kaname-san, [Player]-san.
Player: Good morning, Mami-san.
Mami: You’re not with Miki-san today?
Madoka: Yeah. She’s not feeling well, so she told me to go ahead…
Sayaka: Good morning!
Madoka: Sayaka-chan…
Sayaka: Don’t worry, I’m alright. Let’s give it our shot today…
Player: (Huh? There’s a new face. Who is he?)
Player: Madoka-chan, who were you talking to?
Madoka: He is Kamijou-kun He just got out of the hospital.
Player: So he is Kamijou-kun…
Madoka: You should go to him, Sayaka-chan. You haven’t talked to him yet, have you?
Sayaka: Nah, no need.
Player: (So Sayaka-chan went to class avoiding him.)
Chapter 2: Would you be true to your feelings?
Sayaka: What is to talk about, Hitomi?
Hitomi: I’ve been hiding something from you for a long time.
Sayaka: What?
Hitomi: I’ve been longing for Kyosuke Kamijou for a while now.
Sayaka: R-really? I didn’t know he had it in him.
Hitomi: You and Kyosuke are childhood friends.
Sayaka: I’m just stuck with him, though.
Hitomi: I just can’t lie to myself any longer.
Sayaka: …
Hitomi: So how about you, Sayaka-san? Would you be true to your feelings?
Sayaka: What are you talking about?
Hitomi: I’ll be confessing to Kyosuke tomorrow, after school.
Hitomi: Until then, you decide on what to do with your feelings so that you won’t regret.
Sayaka: …
Hitomi: I’ll be going now.
Player: Is it fine for me to go with you for today’s Witch hunt?
Madoka: Me too.
Sayaka: Madoka… and [Player] too. Why?
Kyoko: Hold it. Don’t forget about me.
Mami: It is the senior’s duty to look after cute juniors.
Sayaka: Mami, Kyoko….
Homura: I’m also going if we’re just looking for Witches.
Madoka: I don’t want Sayaka-chan to be alone.
Player: We are always on your side, Sayaka-chan.
Sayaka: Why are you all so kind to me? I'm not worth it.
(Battle ensues)
(Familiars destroyed!)
Sayaka: …Today, I was about to regret it. “If only I did not save Hitomi that time.”
Sayaka: It was in an instant that I thought like that. I’m such a scumbag. I can’t call myself an ally of justice.
Madoka: Sayaka-chan!
Sayaka: Hitomi is… taking Kyosuke from me.
Mami: Miki-san.
Sayaka: But there’s nothing I can do… I’m already dead. I’m a zombie…
Sayaka: I can’t tell him to hug me. I can't tell him to kiss me. Not with this body.
Player: (We now understand what it really means to be Magical Girls and the reality behind it.)
Chapter 3: Who are you?
Player: Sayaka-chan, don’t push it!!
Sayaka: Ugh!
Madoka: Sayaka-chan! Watch out!!
Kyoko: Geez, I can’t take this anymore.
Player: Kyoko-chan...
Kyoko: Step aside, Sayaka. I’ll show you the ropes.
??? (Elise): This city’s magical girls are average. They even have a hard time on such a Witch.
Kyoko: !? Who're-!?
Player: (Before we even notice, four unfamiliar Magical Girls appeared.)
Elise: Hi, there. I am Elise. From now on, we’re taking over Witch hunting duty to defend this city.
Sayaka: What are you talking about? I’m the one defending this city.
Elise: You plan to continue despite being worn-out? Alright then, I’ll show you how it’s done.
(Battle ensues)
Player: Woah, one hit?
Elise: Now you know the difference in our power? You can’t defend this city. Better give up.
Mami: We could say the same to you You just suddenly appeared. Don’t you have manners?
Elise: I apologize. I’m just here to give greetings for today.
Madoka: H-hey. Can’t we just fight together?
Elise: No. We can defend this city by ourselves, so you’re not needed anymore.
Homura: And if we say no?
Elise: Then we’ll just have to use force.
Sayaka: Then it’s settled. I’ll take you on!
Madoka: Sayaka-chan…!
Elise: !? Yo…you’re…
Sayaka: Is there something in my face?
Elise: … So there is a familiar face in this city.
Player: (…? What is she talking about…)
Elise: Today is just a greeting. See you later then.
Player: (She gracefully left the scene. So new Magical Girls have appeared.)
Chapter 4: Magical Girl vs Magical Girl
(Battle ensues)
Komachi: Argh, I never thought I’d lose to them.
Kyoko: For such big talk, you’re not that tough.
Komachi: You talk tough, don't you?
Sayaka: You’re an eyesore, hurry up and leave.
Madoka: We’ll be sure to defend this city, so…
Komachi: We already said no a number of times. We have no plans of leaving.
Player: What is your goal?
Homura: Why does it have to be Mitakihara City?
Komachi: How naïve. You think we’ll tell you?
Mami: Not really. At least we’d like to know your goal.
Sayaka: There’s no point in talking. We’ll just fight anyone who hinders us.
Player: (Sayaka-chan…. you’re scaring me.)
Madoka: Sayaka-chan, stop it. Don’t fight any further.
Player: She’s right. Your Soul Gem’s impurity will accumulate if you keep using your powers.
Sayaka: I don’t care.
Madoka: Sayaka-chan…?
Komachi: I’ll depart for today. However, I won’t be defeated next time we meet.
Mami: They left. We might be facing her or one of them again.
Kyoko: I’ll just crush whoever stands in my way!
Player: (We might be able to avoid fighting them if we know their objective.)
Chapter 5: Why are we fighting?
(Battle ensues)
Hiyori: I lost.
Player: (We won the fight, but having to fight other Magical Girls…)
Sayaka: Hah, hah, hah….
Player: Are you alright? Don’t overdo it.
Sayaka: I can manage this much. I can kill the pain easily.
Madoka: Sayaka-chan…
Elise: You have more problems than physical pain.
Sayaka: So you came.
Elise: So you really want to hinder us, don’t you?
Kyoko: We won’t let you do anything you want as long as we’re here.
Homura: Just give up and leave this city.
Madoka: Why is it that instead of Witches, we have to fight each other even though we are all Magical Girls?
Player: Hey, Kyubey, can’t you do anything to convince them?
Kyubey: Nope. They need to leave this city on their own.
Komachi: We absolutely have no plan to leave this city.
Mami: We don’t want you to freely do anything in our city.
Elise: We won’t stop anytime soon.
Player: (Huh? “Won’t stop”? Why?)
Elise: We will fight you no matter how many times if needed.
Sayaka: I will also fight evil people instead of Witches.
Madoka: Sayaka-chan…
Elise: Hm… She is determined, stubborn, and tries very hard… just like me.
Elise: Without caring even a bit whether she’ll bring evil or good.
Sayaka: Who are you talking to?
Elise: Well, who do you think?
Hiyori: I won’t lose next time.
Elise: Let’s depart now, everyone. It is a waste of time facing them.
Kyoko: Wait!!
Mami: They’re gone.
Player: (So we have to fight them again?)
Chapter 6: What is your reason to fight?
Player: (Today is another day of patrolling for Witches.)
Player: (Huh? That must be Sayaka-chan at the park.)
Player: Sayaka-chan, what are you doing here?
Sayaka: Ah! [Player]-san!?
Player: That’s Kamijou-kun and Hitomi-chan over there, right?
Sayaka: I-it’s nothing. None of your business.
Player: Sayaka-chan…
Sayaka: I’m so creepy sneaking up on them, huh? Okay then, let’s go.
Player: (I pulled Sayaka-chan, who is looking down, away from the park.)
(Battle ensues)
Claire: Why… It doesn’t make sense that I lost.
Kyoko: Hmph! It’s the difference in our strengths!
Player: (I don’t want to take on other Magical Girls…)
Elise: I heard that Witches here are more powerful than the rest. I guess they were wrong.
Madoka: You’re looking for a powerful Witch? Why?
Claire: It’s a secret.
Sayaka: Blah, blah, just zip it. I’ll take you on if you want more.
Madoka: Sayaka-chan…
Homura: Sayaka Miki, you’re being a burden. Withdraw.
Player: Homura-chan, you don’t need to go that far.
Homura: I am just stating a fact.
Sayaka: You’re saying that I’m just a bother?
Homura: That is correct. We have nothing to spare.
Madoka: Homura-chan… Sayaka-chan has a lot of problems right now.
Sayaka: Madoka! Don’t say unnecessary things!
Elise: Oh my, a dispute between friends? So defending Mitakihara City must be straightforward.
Hiyori: We can just have at them while they’re distracted.
Kyoko: As if! I’ll just fend off any attacks you bring.
Elise: Well, we’ll just end it here since we defeated the Witch for today.
Player: (Oh yeah, Sayaka-chan has been fighting non-stop, is her Soul Gem alright?)
Elise: So until we meet again. Farewell.
Player: (Elise and co. have left.)
Madoka: Just what is their goal in coming here…
Kyoko: Instead of thinking such things, I’ll just take them on by force.
Sayaka: I can take on all of them myself.
Madoka: Don’t force yourself, Sayaka-chan.
Player: Yeah. You should rest for a while.
Sayaka: What? So you all think I’m excess baggage…
Kyoko: What are you saying? Nobody said that! You’re acting strange lately.
Sayaka: For now, I don’t want to think about anything else. I’ll just fight the Witches.
Madoka: Sayaka-chan…
Player: (Sayaka-chan looks hurt. If only there’s anything I can do for her.)
Chapter 7: A heart’s place
Madoka: Sayaka-chan, you don’t look fine. Are you alright?
Sayaka: I’m fine.
Player: Don’t force yourself. If there is anything wrong with you, take a break.
Sayaka: It’s none of your business!! I already said I’m fine, didn’t I?
Player: Sorry.
Kyoko: Hey, hey, you don’t need to sound like that, do you? If you’re just hungry, would you like this apple?
Sayaka: I can’t have that uncertain apple.
Kyoko: We’re protecting this city from Witches, so this is fine, right?
Sayaka: I am not like you!
Mami: What’s the matter? Miki-san is not like herself today.
Homura: Are you purifying your Soul Gem?
Sayaka: No worries about that.
Homura: Really? It’s fine then.
Madoka: Hey everyone, we should go hunt Witches now.
Mami: She’s right. It is our duty after all.
Player: (While we are worrying about Sayaka-chan, we went ahead.)
(Battle ensues.)
Elise: This is impossible. I lost.
Kyoko: Too bad, that’s how it is. Our win.
Player: (Elise is tough, but we were able to win.)
Elise: It was just a Familiar you all defeated. It does not even have a Grief Seed.
Sayaka: What?
Player: It might have killed someone else if left alone.
Elise: That is what is supposed to happen. It would be better if it becomes a Witch by devouring four or five people.
Komachi: It’s bad to kill the chicken that lays eggs, don’t you think?
Sayaka: So you mean you let the Witch kill people!?
Elise: Don’t you know the basics?
Player: Huh?
Claire: Witches devour weak humans. We devour Witches.
Komachi: That is the bail rule, don’t you think?
Elise: Don’t tell us that you all made a Contract for humanity’s sake or to serve justice or other foolishness?
Sayaka: Wha!?
Player: (Sayaka-chan is staring her with a scary look.)
Elise: And what did you gain for your wish for others?
Sayaka: We-well that’s….
Elise: It goes the same for her as well. She always wished for other people’s happiness instead of hers.
Player: (…? Elise-san looks gloomy…)
Sayaka: Shut up! Shut up! What do you know about me?!
Kyoko: Hey, get a hold of yourself. You’re getting dragged too much.
Sayaka: Shut up!
(*clash*)
Madoka: Sayaka-chan!?
Homura: It’s alright, she just lost consciousness.
Mami: Akemi-san, that was kind of harsh. Wasn’t there any gentler way to do so?
Homura: I hate idiots who get into useless fights.
Kyoko: I can’t agree more. It’ll get worse if we don’t do this much.
Madoka: Even though Sayaka-chan is working hard for everyone.
Elise: Anyway, that will be it for today. We’re leaving.
Elise …
Player: (What was it? Elise-san is spouting such words with great sadness…)
Kyoko: I know where they are coming from, but they really piss me off.
Mami: Still, we need to stop them at any cost.
Madoka: Yeah. Letting a Familiar grow into a Witch… is unforgivable.
Player: (Looks like Sayaka-chan already went far away.
Chapter 8: I want to help.
(Battle ensues)
Komachi: Tsk! We were supposed to win this time.
Elise: Komachi. That’s enough.
Player: Elise-san. We don’t want further fighting.
Madoka: Yeah. We should help ea…
Komachi: Help! That girl wants another round, though.
Player: Oh… Sayaka-chan.
Sayaka: I’ll… be the one defending this city.
Elise: Foolish girl… to have to fight till the end… even though hurting yourself won’t ease the pain.
Player: (Again, Elise-san is looking at Sayaka-chan with gloomy eyes.)
Sayaka: Don’t you… look at me with such pity!
Elise: Sayaka-san, make sure to purify your Soul Gem.
Claire: We’ll go ahead and clean up some Witches. You all look like you have some issues on your hands.
Elise: Until then, good day, everyone. We’ll meet again.
Player: (Elise-san left. Will Sayaka-chan be alright?)
Homura: Use this Grief Seed.
Madoka: Homura-chan.
Homura: You’ll die… if you keep this up.
Sayaka: Even so… I’m fine.
Player: Sayaka-chan, why do you say that?
Sayaka: Because I have decided that I’ll become a different Magical Girl from Homura.
Sayaka: So I will neither leave or use or ask help from anyone.
Homura: ……………
Sayaka: And when there are no Witches left to hunt… I’ll become useless.
Mami: We are your friends. We will not let you become useless.
Madoka: Yeah. Homura-chan just wants to help you. Just believe in her.
Sayaka: Homura is thinking about something else even though she says it’s for my sake.
Homura: You’re keen… Sayaka.
Madoka: Sayaka-chan… Homura-chan…
Homura: It’s like you said. It’s not like I want to help you. It’s just for that girl.
Player: (Homura-chan is referring to Madoka-chan as “that girl”.)
Homura: If you’re going to stop me here, you’ll just have to die. I can just kill you where you stand.
Kyoko: What are you doing!? This is not the time for internal conflict, is it?
Mami: That’s right. We need to prioritize the Witches instead of Elise among other things.
Kyoko: Anyway, the player and Madoka should take Sayaka with them and go home.
Player: Yeah. Got it, Kyoko-chan.
Madoka: Sayaka-chan, let’s go home for today.
Player: Me and Madoka-chan carried the completely exhausted Sayaka-chan to her home.
Chapter 9: That one and only chance.
Elise: Sayaka-san, I heard that you made a Contract for the sake of your childhood friend.
Sayaka: So what?
Elise: You use that one and only chance of a miracle for others.
Player: It’s none of your business on whom or what she wished for.
Elise: Magic is to grant your wish for yourself.
Mami: What you’re saying makes sense, though.
Elise: Nothing good will happen for using it for somebody else.
Kyoko: Damn you! You just spout nonsense without a care in the world.
Elise: Didn’t your friends tell you that?
Mami: Everyone has their own wishes. I think they are free to use it for whatever purpose they wish.
Elise: I can’t deny that. Moving on, if you’re using it for someone you like, there are other ways to get him.
Sayaka: Huh?
Elise: You can just go to his house and break his arms and legs this instant.
Sayaka: Wha…!!
Elise: Bring back the time where he cannot do anything without you.
Elise: With that, his body and soul will be all yours, like you wished.
Sayaka: No! I wouldn’t wish for something like that.
Elise: Sayaka-san, I saw you crying while you were fighting Witches.
Sayaka: Don’t you spout such nonsense!
Elise: If you’re not going to do it, should I break his arms and legs myself?
Sayaka: …unforgivable. I’ll make your life a living hell…!
Madoka: Wait, Sayaka-chan.
Sayaka: Back off. You’re not part of this.
Player: That is not true! Because, you’re our friend!!
Sayaka: Player-san…
Kyoko: That’s right. I had enough of them doing as they please.
Mami: As for me, this is the time to settle the score.
Elise: …not yet. Today is too early for that. We’ll withdraw for now.
Madoka: Oh… I’m glad they left.
Player: Yeah.
Player: (From what Elise said… she’ll settle the score when the time comes.)
Chapter 10: This is not the way to fight.
(Battle ensues)
Claire: Now you’ve done it. It is so humiliating to lose to the same enemy twice.
Sayaka: What’s the matter? Is that all? I can still fight, though.
Player: (Sayaka-chan looks alright even though she took many hits from Claire.)
Madoka: Sayaka-chan, let’s stop this. You’re bleeding a lot.
Sayaka: I’m… alright. This wound will be healed eventually with my ability.
Kyoko: You idiot! She’s saying you should fight some other way.
Mami: That’s right, Miki-san. They don’t wish to fight any further, so it’s over.
Sayaka: …ugh.
Madoka: Sayaka-chan!!
Player: (Madoka-chan is now holding Sayaka-chan, who is about to crumble.)
Kyoko: See? You can’t even stand straight.
Homura: It’s about time for you to leave this city.
Elise: We won’t leave. We really like this city.
Mami: It’s about time you tell us why you’re obsessed with this city.
Elise: I don’t think you’ll understand even if we tell you.
Kyoko: What? You think we’re stupid?
Komachi: Why you! You don’t even know how precious our memories of this city are.
Kyoko: I don’t care about your memories. You just want the Grief Seeds, right?
Kyoko: Here, just beg for us if you want us to share.
Komachi: How dare you!! We’re doing this for Elise.
Elise: Komachi!! Do not be provoked by them.
Kyoko: Tsk. So you saw that coming.
Elise: Don’t take us so lightly, Kyoko Sakura-san. But we’ll end our chit-chat here.
Mami: It’s cowardly for you to withdraw when things don’t go your way.
Elise: You can say whatever you want. So, everyone, good day.
Player: (Elise-san left us after an elegant greeting.)
Homura: Just who are they…?
Player: Homura-chan?
Homura: Magical Girls that I never met…
Player: (Homura-chan is pondering about something…?)
Chapter 11: I’m such an idiot.
Player: Oh! I finally found Sayaka-chan! There she is.
Kyoko: Geez, we were worried sick ‘coz you just left.
Sayaka: …Kyoko… Player-san. Sorry you had to look for me.
Kyoko: What’s with that? You’re not being yourself…
Sayaka: Yeah. Because I don’t care about whatever happens anymore.
Kyoko: Sa-Sayaka… What are… you sayi-
Sayaka: In the end, I don’t know anymore what is important and what to protect.
Player: (Sayaka-chan’s Soul Gem is getting tainted pitch black.)
Sayaka: The thing about the balance of hope and despair becoming zero. I think I understand now.
Sayaka: Indeed, I was able to save a number of people. But in proportion to that, envy and hatred builds up.
Kyoko: Hey! Sayaka!! Get a hold of yourself!
Player: Sayaka-chan, listen to Kyoko-chan. Please!!
Sayaka: In wishing for someone’s happiness, I also curse someone as well.
Player: ………………..Sayaka-chan.
Sayaka: We Magical Girls are created to be like that. I’m such an idiot.
Player: (Sayaka’s Soul Gem is…)
Madoka: Sayaka-chan, wake up!
Elise: It’s no use. When Sayaka-san’s Soul Gem becomes a Grief Seed, the Grief Seed disappears and then she becomes a Witch.
Madoka: It’s…… a lie.
Elise: When the Soul Gem becomes corrupted and turns pitch black, we become a Grief Seed and are reborn as Witches.
Madoka: No-no way…
Elise: That is true with my little sister. She sacrificed herself for others… and before she knew it, she became a Witch.
Player: (So Elise-san’s sister was a Magical Girl? Then became a Witch?)
Elise: I… was not able to do anything to her suffering. But we can do something right before one becomes a Witch.
Homura: What do you intend to do?
Claire: Elise, don’t tell me…
Hiyori: You mustn’t, Elise-san! You’re supposed to use it for her…!
Elise: My ability and my only wish is for me and the Witch to trade places.
Elise: …I wanted to save my sister… who became a Witch.
Elise: However… my sister is no more… maybe you all felt that.
Elise: Sayaka-san! I will take all that power.
Elise: Defeat me, then that girl will be saved.
Claire: No!! Elise!!
Sayaka: !?
(Witch Barrier located!)
(Battle ensues)
(Familiars destroyed!)
(Witch destroyed!)
Player: …for Magical Girls become Witches
Madoka: This is so cruel!
Komachi: Elise! How dare you kill Elise!
Claire: Stop that, Komachi. Elise… made the decision.
Komachi: …….damn it!
Madoka: …you all love Elise-chan very much.
Claire: Elise had a… twin little sister… she became a Witch in this city.
Claire: So that is why she wanted to defend this city. This city that her sister loved.
Claire: Sayaka… You looked and felt like her sister.
Claire: And so, she took all your Witch powers.
Kyoko: The fight is over. It is time for you to go back to your city.
Mami: And if ever, we don’t want to see your faces ever again.
Claire: That goes for us too.
Komachi: I will come back here anytime.
Hiyori: Thank you very much for facing us for a long time.
Kyoko: Hmph, and don’t come back.
Player: Homura-chan, are you fine with this?
Homura: …I do not know this world. Sayaka Miki did not become a Witch.
Player: Homura-chan…?
Homura:…! Maybe the player is… you’re…
Player: ??
Sayaka: Huh? Why I….?
Madoka: Sayaka-chan! You’re back!?
Mami: I’m glad…! Please do not make your seniors worry.
Sayaka: Madoka, Mami-san.
Kyoko: You did some stupid things!
Sayaka: Kyoko… Everyone…
Sayaka: I’m sorry… for making you worry.
Player: Welcome back, Sayaka-chan!
Madoka: …………………… welcome back.
Sayaka: Yeah… I’m home!
(End)
