Nightmare & Bonus Stories

These stories are framed as possible memories from within the vast tapestry of time and space. Their places in the timeline as well as their canonicity is ambiguous, so these stories are listed as part of the Magia Exedra Universe. The Nightmare and Bonus Stories are all introduced with the following:

Amidst the endless tapestry of time and space, this place was but one of a myriad of possibilities that may have existed.
This story is a little memory quietly tucked away in a corner of that possibility.

Rains Too Shall Pass

Unlocked at the Nightmare difficulty of the Sandbox Witch Memory Window.

• Iroha returns home exhausted after her search for Ui in Kamihama City. She recalls facing a fearsome and strong girl who told her she does not belong there. Too tired to think further, she decides to take a bath and go to sleep, knowing she has school the next day.
  • In her dream, Iroha runs into Yachiyo, who invites her along on a series of errands. They shop for towels and pillows, discuss buying chopsticks and houseplants, and even visit the ward office to pick up a change of address form because Yachiyo casually announces that Iroha will be moving in with her. Iroha is bewildered but goes along with it.
  • On their way to look at Iroha's new school, a sudden sun shower forces them to take shelter. Yachiyo apologizes, admitting she took the long way home hoping something good would happen, but now feels she pushed her luck. When the rain stops, they see a huge rainbow, and Yachiyo smiles gently, surprised by Iroha's excitement. Iroha notes this softer side of Yachiyo.
• Iroha wakes up in her own room and realizes it was all a dream. She laughs at the absurd idea of living with Yachiyo, but then remembers Yachiyo's gentle face. Deciding that taking the long way might not be so bad, she resolves to leave home a little earlier than usual the next morning.

Proof of Friends Again

Unlocked at the Nightmare difficulty of the Rumor of the Commoner's Horse Memory Window.

• Rena, Kaede, and Momoko meet so Rena can finally apologize for forcing Kaede's dog to do a trick it could not pull off, which led to Rena declaring they were not friends anymore. Kaede forgives her, and Momoko suggests celebrating by using a photo booth together, something they have never done. Rena reluctantly admits she has never used one before, and despite Kaede's teasing, she agrees to go.
  • At the photo booth, Rena accidentally presses the button for a group of five and then panics when the machine prompts them to make funny faces. She refuses, feeling humiliated, and tries to run away, but Kaede keeps asking her to do it. Rena gets upset and starts crying, and the machine takes a picture of her mid cry. She blames Kaede, but then decides she cannot end the experience in tears and insists they finish with a perfect pose to make up for what she did to Kaede's dog. They manage to take one final picture together.
  • When the photos print, Momoko points out that only the last one came out properly, though Rena is frowning and Kaede looks like she is about to cry while Momoko herself is forcing a smile.

They all decide to attach the photo to their phone cases, and Momoko declares it is proof that they are friends again.

Tag Team Revenge!

Unlocked at the Nightmare difficulty of the Rumor of the Anonymous AI Memory Window.

• Sana, Felicia, and Tsuruno are playing the concentration card game, and Tsuruno is on a winning streak, much to Felicia's frustration. Sana apologizes for causing their losses, but Felicia insists it is not her fault. Iroha, about to leave for shopping, suggests they try working together instead of playing separately. She whispers a strategy to them: dividing up the duties, such as having each person memorize a different color of cards. Felicia tells Sana that she needs her brains to win, and Sana brightens at being needed.
  • When the game resumes, Tsuruno quickly figures out that Sana is memorizing red cards and Felicia the black ones, but she is impressed by their teamwork. As the game narrows down to the final ten cards, Felicia and Sana huddle to discuss which cards they remember. They realize none of their memorized cards match, so they have to flip new ones at random. On a crucial turn, they both point to the same card, but it turns out to be a four of hearts that does not match anything, allowing Tsuruno to sweep the remaining pairs and win again. Felicia is frustrated, but Sana smiles because she enjoyed teaming up with someone and being needed. Felicia then suggests they play one more time so Sana can experience the fun of winning, and everyone agrees.

Unlocked at the Nightmare difficulty of the Rumor of the Chelation Land Ferris Wheel Memory Window.

• The Mikazuki Villa gang gathers as Tsuruno announces they will fire up a hotpot outside to bond again after recent hardships, including Felicia running off to the Wings of the Magius and the group briefly breaking up. Tsuruno declares herself head of the hotpot and insists everyone else relax, though Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, and Felicia feel uneasy sitting idly. Yachiyo reflects that since the recent incident, she has realized she does not fully understand Tsuruno, and even now she has no idea what Tsuruno is thinking.
  • Tsuruno begins adding unusual ingredients: Banbanzai Special Dumplings, pre made Hamburg steak, a failed fried egg turned into scrambled egg, and even a dab of peanut butter. Despite Iroha and Sana's worries, the finished hotpot smells rich and Chinese inspired. Yachiyo recalls that peanut butter can bring out the flavor of Chinese dishes, and everyone agrees the meal is delicious, with the egg adding a mellow touch to the spicy broth. Felicia gives it 120 out of 100 and jokes that Tsuruno should open a hotpot shop.
  • Yachiyo notices Tsuruno has not eaten yet and urges her to have her fill. Tsuruno then reveals her true plan: she asks Yachiyo to feed her a bite, explaining that she wants to be pampered and would hate for their relationship to change because of everything they have been through. Even though Tsuruno acts like a big sister to Felicia and the others, she will always want special attention from Yachiyo. Yachiyo giggles and feeds her, and Tsuruno declares this the privilege reserved for the head of the hotpot. Yachiyo muses that Tsuruno never grows up, and hopes that someday, when they are all grown, they will still be as close as they are now, with Yachiyo herself taking the role of head of the hotpot.

He investigates and discovers that yesterday was the father's birthday, and no one celebrated it. Take concludes that her father is sulking because Tsukasa never wished him a happy birthday.
  • Tsukasa feels guilty but also angry at her father for making her so busy. She decides to make him a bento box filled with his favorite foods as a subtle, belated birthday wish, but she struggles to remember what he likes. She recalls that when she was little, she made meatball bento for him, and he patted her head and praised her. She decides to make that.
• The next day, Tsukasa gives her father the bento and wishes him a happy birthday, telling him to cheer up. Just then, Take rushes in and admits he got the wrong end of the stick and the father was only distracted by work, not upset about his birthday. Tsukasa shouts at Take, but her father sees the meatball bento and, though he grumbles about wasting money, Take reminds him that this was the first bento Tsukasa ever made for him.

Mifuyu is surprised Alina agrees so readily.
  • During the game, Mifuyu lands on a dare square that forces her to wear a school uniform, which Alina had secretly added to the board and even prepared in Mifuyu's size.

Alina performs surprisingly poorly at the game.
  • Mifuyu steps out briefly to handle something, and when she returns, she hears a loud thud from the room. She rushes back to find Touka trying to move a sofa by herself while Nemu scolds her, and Alina points out that Mifuyu is already there.

Alina then instructs Mifuyu to lie down on the sofa so she can give her an acupressure massage, which she has been researching to help maintain Mifuyu's figure.
  • As Alina presses the acupressure points, Mifuyu screams in pain while Alina laughs with delight. Nemu notes that this was supposed to be a reward for Mifuyu, but Alina seems to be having all the fun.

Ui suggests they go ask the Mikazuki Villa girls for advice, despite Touka and Nemu's reluctance.

• The next day, after taking Yachiyo's advice, the three of them come up with a plan on their own: they will make bento lunch boxes and have a picnic at the site of the Eternal Sakura. They lead a blindfolded Iroha to the spot, then reveal the surprise.

Kanagi also agrees that Mitama should go home, at least to see her sister. Mitama finally gives in and says she will go home that day. Kanagi suggests buying a little gift, and Mitama decides on a mixed bag of candies since Mikage loves sweets.

  • Madoka thinks about where Homura would go. She recalls Homura being considerate and observant, such as setting the table for Mami or finding Sayaka's missing pen. Madoka realizes that Homura would predict where Madoka would be, so the best strategy is to wait somewhere easy to spot. She asks the group to wait near the entrance line at the shrine.
