==Summary==
A shy Magical Girl belonging in the Neo Magius. To prevent herself from losing consciousness out of nervousness and then rampaging loose, [[San Kagura|San]] controls her during combat, functioning as San's secret weapon. She enjoys admiring other people's legs. Possibly a masochist.

===Doppel Description===
[[File:Doppel 103200 l.png|thumb|right|150px|Oxford, Miyuri's doppel]]
The Doppel of stark candor. Its form is a shoe. The master of this emotion is dumbfounded by the countless legs sprouting out from her vicinity and pressing in on her. However, she doesn’t actually seem bothered by them, and is in fact staring blankly into space from a sheer overload of joy. Meanwhile, her Doppel has had no luck whatsoever in its search for a foot that will fit it, and has filled itself to the brim with nothing but dud legs to dispose of. But it still hasn’t given up on meeting its soulmate (sole-mate) one day, and thus tends to throw tantrums out of frustration. It vents its stress by leaping high into the heavens, then falling back to earth in a plummeting stomp. Apparently, it can relieve more stress the higher it flies.

===Costume Stories===
<div class="tabs" style="min-height:300px">
{{Tab Content|title=Swimsuit|[[File:Miyuri swimsuit.png|thumb|right|150px]]
At the beach, all the Neo Magius girls are in their swimsuits, ready to have some fun, except for Mitsune, who would rather keep her hoodie on and hide in the shade. However, they all quickly notice that they’re missing someone. Hagamu suspects that Miyuri fainted somewhere from seeing all their bare legs. Himena suddenly gets a text from her, telling them to have fun without her, so they split up and search for her. Hidden in some trees, Miyuri keeps her eyes tightly shut, already pretty flustered. After San scolds her for running off, Miyuri proves Hagamu’s theory mostly correct. Since she found that she doesn’t get nervous while doing photography, she had silently kicked herself out of the group.
Despite her unusual condition, her friends prove to be respectful and supportive of her, as they have brought skirts and pants to cover up their legs. Still with her eyes closed, Miyuri cries happily, before returning to the beach with them.
A few days later, Miyuri surprises the group with a few albums that she made as a way of thanks. She gets excited when the girls compliment her, but the moment is short lived. On the last page of the album, Miyuri’s… thoughts, got the better of her, as all the images were different shots of legs, naturally making everyone uncomfortable…}}

==Powers and Abilities==
Miyuri's innate magic is described as "Shortening of time experience", which makes her fall asleep and sleepwalk whenever she has a panic attack. While in this state Miyuri can do anything, even fight in "berserk mode" as she can easily defeat witches in this state, but this makes her a threat to anyone around her, as she is likely to attack her allies. Miyuri can only be controlled in this state by hearing San Kagura's voice, who guides her as a marionette.

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "playing" (遊) and "hunt" (狩) respectively.

==Trivia==
*Her nickname while in the Wings of Magius was "Secret Weapon".
*Her Doppel is likely named after [[Wikipedia:Oxford_shoe|Oxfords]], a type of shoe known for its low cut and popularity in outdoor activities.
** Her Doppel could also be a reference to ''Monty Python's Flying Circus''. Terry Jones and Michael Palin first met at Oxford University and were later joined by Graham Chapman, John Cleese and Eric Idle who formed a group called the Footlights. Also, a popular running gag in ''Flying Circus'' was the image of a giant foot that would crush the title logo at the end of the intro.
*As seen in her chapter art, Miyuri has a phone case with an image of her Doppel on it.

Magia Record Story Memory Drops

2023-12-22T17:04:35Z

Bigscarythings: Typo fix

{{stub}}

[[File:Memory_Drops.jpg|thumb|right|500px]]
==Part 1==
''Summary by bigscarythings''

Memory Drops opens with a prologue summarizing the Mikoto & Hanna arc so far - essentially, Hanna is a rogue magical girl who uses the power of suggestion magic to manipulate people and Witches into spreading misfortune and calamity. Among her victims were girls like Nanaka Tokiwa or the Azaleas trio, who had their lives derailed or ruined by Hanna's actions, and who came to work together to uncover and defeat whoever was sowing chaos in Kamihama. Eventually, they cornered Hanna, who committed suicide by shattering her own Soul Gem - which was certainly one resolution to the matter.

What little did the magical girls know was that Hanna was not a lone operator, but worked alongside Mikoto Sena, the remnant will of the Mirrors Witch who dwelled in Hanna, seeking Kamihama's destruction. In truth, however, Hanna had sought to destroy what Mikoto hated so that she would no longer be bound to the will of destruction. She wanted Mikoto to be free, to learn that allowing oneself to be consumed by hatred and despair results only in defeat and failure, and to find hope and be reborn.

In the end, however, Mikoto rejected hope and committed herself to destroying the world. That ambition failed with the ending of Arc 2, leaving Mikoto dwelling within Iroha. With Puella Historia having ended and Iroha's promise to Mikoto going unfulfilled, Mikoto has made a choice - no matter what stands in her way, she *will* find and bring Hanna back...

The event proper begins in the past, in the days when Mikoto and Hanna were Magical Girls before Mikoto had become a Witch. In those days, Mikoto recalls, as soon as school was let our, she would race across town to the cafe where she and Hanna always met up. Mikoto always fussed with her appearance using a compact mirror along the way, wanting to be perfect for Hanna. When she saw Hanna waiting for her by the window, she got caught up in Hanna's gaze that she forgot to call out to Hanna...but Hanna knew full well that Mikoto was there. Hanna turned to her and mouthed out - "Found you."

Hanna was always able to find Mikoto - even after Mikoto had turned into a Witch, Hanna had known Mikoto was still there somehow, dwelling within Hanna. While Mikoto thought Hanna had been the one to save her life, Hanna had once told her it was the other way around. Hanna had been about to attempt suicide, using her magic to break her Soul Gem, but instead, Hanna's magic was channeled to Mikoto, bringing the latter back as a sort of ghost. With Mikoto there, Hanna said she had no reason to die anymore, and told her - "I'm really glad I didn't die! ...Please don't leave me alone ever again."

Mikoto's reminiscence goes bitter as she recalls that it wasn't she who left Hanna - but the other way around. Hanna committed suicide so that she could bring hope to Mikoto and the world, but Mikoto didn't want any of that. She just wanted Hanna. Even if the Mirror Witch had devoured the world, even though the APS is now saving all of megucakind, none of that matters without Hanna. All of this hope is only making Mikoto even more painfully aware of what she's lacking. All she wants is Hanna - to touch her, hold her, take her hand, to come to a world where there's nobody else but them. And with that...she makes up her mind.

The days pass, and Mikoto stores up her magic while within Iroha, until winter arrives. In the weeks before Christmas, after the events of Puella Historia, Mikazuki Villa decorates for the holidays, where Mikoto - after a long period of silence - finally speaks to Iroha. Iroha, wanting to help Mikoto find hope again, listens intently as Mikoto talks about how she's never had a good Christmas. Mikoto says she wants to see what a happy Christmas looks like, with a big party, lots of guests, beautiful decorations, delicious food, presents to exchange...

Mikoto isn't lying, per se. She really *does* want these things. She's just not being honest about *who* she wants them with. But Iroha doesn't know that, and after conveying Mikoto's words to the others, they all agree to help set up the best Christmas party ever. She pushes Iroha to arrange for a big Mikazuki shopping trip for decorations, but then, on the day of the trip, she has a sudden need to visit the Magia Record, meaning Iroha can't join her loved ones... As it turns out, Touka is busy that day as well, leaving just Nemu in the Record. This is when Mikoto launches her plan: "The only memories I'll ever want are the ones with Hanna... That's why...I decided to take it back: My hope."

Using her built-up transplant magic, Mikoto hijacks Nemu's body. Iroha demands Mikoto to explain - does she plan to wreak havoc again? No, Mikoto says - she's been a very good girl for all this time! Doesn't she deserve a gift from Santa? Doesn't she deserve hope rather than despair? Given that Santa won't be able to find her, however, that just means Mikoto needs to acquire her own gift. She's going to use Nemu's powers to find Hanna again.

Penning together some Uwasas, Mikoto is able to materialize Hanna again, resembling the Uwasa forms the Magical Girls took on in the Arc 2 finale. Iroha reconizes what's going on, and Mikoto warns her to back off, or else she'll harm Nemu's body. Iroha tries desperately to talk Mikoto down, saying Mikoto needs to accept the past, let go, and move forward, and that this isn't the real Hanna, but a copy forged from the Record and Mikoto's own projections.

Mikoto refuses to hear a word. She uses the next Uwasa to create a proper body for herself and transplants herself into it. With some testing, she confirms that she has full control over the Uwasa - just as she'd designed! With that, she's ready to whisk off a very confused and disoriented Hanna into their own little world...

Until Nemu strikes, harming Hanna. She and Mikoto fight, Nemu trying to explain again that the Rumor isn't real, just a hollow, meaningless construct. She reads off the Rumor that Mikoto created for Uwasa Hanna, noting that while the Rumor is based on the real Hanna and her story, it was not born of free will and does not capture her true nature. Mikoto shouts back, saying that as long as Hanna remembers their days together, then she's the real Hanna - "I want my dear friend to be alive! That's all I want!" Those words seem to trigger something in Uwasa Hanna...

In the meantime, Nemu and Iroha debate over what to do about this predicament. Nemu wants to tear out the pages for the Uwasas that Mikoto created and simply be done with it. Iroha, however, knows that this is Mikoto's last hope. If they kill Hanna right now, even if she's just an Uwasa, it will be as good as killing Mikoto. Nemu doesn't seem to like it much herself, but she's still willing to go through with it - but Mikoto acts faster, with her own Uwasa kicking in, creating a facsimile of the Mirrors Labyrinth and entrapping everyone present with technicolor clones of Mikoto, who act as the Uwasa's Familiars.

Around this point, Mikoto admits that Hanna very much isn't acting like her normal self. It turns out that Hanna doesn't even remember Mikoto, even as Mikoto tries reminding Hanna of their memories together. During the commotion, it turns out that Nemu has cut herself off as Mikoto's power source, meaning that Hanna and Mikoto only have a limited time to operate - the only viable solution that doesn't involve deleting the Uwasas. Iroha tries again to plead with Mikoto, telling her that they'll find a way to make Mikoto's dream come true...

But Hanna won't hear a word of it. Acting like she remembers everything, she strikes out at Iroha, telling her not to lay a finger on Mikoto. A close match ensues between Iroha and Nemu versus Hanna, with Hanna ultimately coming out on top - but only because Iroha and Nemu are holding back, she admits. She can't even cast her suggestion magic given how quickly they move. Mikoto notes that Hanna is supposed to have overwriting magic, but realizes that she's unintentionally rewritten Hanna's magic to be suggestion.

This is another indicator that this isn't the real Hanna, Iroha says. It's not a real person, but a projection of Mikoto's own whims and desires, the barest echo of the original Hanna and her feelings. Mikoto tells her to shut up, she doesn't know anything! But Iroha, having maintained the Magia Record, does know what Hanna was like; Mikoto snaps at her again for snooping. Hanna joins in, dismissing Iroha's words - nobody chooses to be born, and she had enough of this "feelings" crap. She tells Iroha to eat shit, because she doesn't want Iroha's pity, but her hostility. Hanna ain't the good guy, after all - she's a villain.

With that, Mikoto and Hanna whisk themselves away, leaving Iroha and Nemu lost in the Labyrinth. All Iroha can do is hunker down and guard Nemu as they try to find a way out...

A brief aside takes us to Nanaka and Kako, on a tour of Kamihama to try out tasty new noodle dishes, when Nanaka's magic kicks in. Unfortunately, the tour needs to be canceled, Nanaka says - she has a terrible feeling that a new battle is looming at hand...

We cut back to Hanna and Mikoto, now free in the real world. They shift back to their civilian outfits, and Hanna asks what their gameplan is. It's quite simple, Mikoto says - they're going to have a happy Christmas together. She waxes on about how they'll decorate the room, have a traditional Christmas turkey, make Hanna dress up like Santa and exchange gifts, and have the whole day filled with shining, beautiful memories...

Deep down, they both know that this will be their final memory together. They're on limited time as it is, and Nemu can change her mind at any point and end their existences at a whim. It's impossible for them to truly be together...but Mikoto wants this chance anyway. Hanna agrees - they'll run to the ends of the earth together if that's what it takes.

"You won't leave me?" Mikoto asks. Hanna counters with, "When have I ever left you?" Mikoto gets upset and brings up Hanna's suicide; Hanna plays it off as a joke (but it seems like she genuinely didn't remember until Mikoto brought it up), and then suddenly recalls Nanaka Tokiwa being there too...

Mikoto's jealousy flares up again and she grumbles, but Hanna defuses the situation by proposing that they have a trip down memory lane before they bail out of Kamihama. Mikoto is thrown off by this request, but agrees to go along with it. Just then, Hanna shuts her eyes with a flinch; when Mikoto worries, Hanna brushes her off, saying she just got dizzy for a sec.

They then proceed on their tour, visiting their usual cafe and Mikoto's old school, along with all of their other old crime scenes. As they travel, Mikoto reflects on their sins, all the terrible things they brought about. It stands that they should meet with terrible fates in turn. But if Mikoto could have just one thing...it's to be buried alive and suffocate in her memories with Hanna, at the end of a world where no one exists, the very final moment of a most wonderful Christmas.

It is then that they pass by Mikoto's old apartment complex, which triggers another memory in Mikoto - her mother telling her "Found you." Mikoto is suddenly very disoriented - she hadn't meant to come here, and has no memory of walking here. Hanna is confused, so Mikoto tries explaining that this was her old home, her real home. She'd never taken Hanna to see the genuine article.

After a pause, Mikoto asks if Hanna likes Christmas. Both of them hate it, actually. Neither has any good memories of that day. With that, Hanna tells Mikoto to go inside and say whatever it is she needs to say, but Mikoto bitterly says there's no point - her mom thinks she's dead, and doesn't even live there anymore. She stews in her negative emotions when suddenly Hanna collapses, unconscious, with a dark, hideous substance in the air flowing into Hanna. Mikoto quickly tries to figure out what's going on. She can't be Witching out, since they're no longer Magical Girls.

She soon lands on the Rumor she'd written, realizing the wording of it, that Hanna's rebellion is "built on" her resentment towards society, means that Hanna herself is absorbing anger and hatred. This had not been Mikoto's intention at all; she'd worded it in that manner to give Hanna memories of their time together, but it's all gone wrong.

She doesn't want this for Hanna. She knows full well what it's like, having been under a Witch's influence herself - it makes you obsessed with the will to destroy, overriding your memories of everything else, even the things you love. She doesn't want Hanna to forget her. She doesn't want Hanna to undergo the torment she did. Mikoto, however, can handle it...and by using her transplant magic, augmented with the Uwasa's powers, she's able to absorb the malice. It's a painful, unpleasant transfer that nearly overwhelms her - she wonders if this malice is a source of power in itself - and then the power suddenly vanishes, as if siphoned away somewhere...

And she hears the Uwasa's voice: "I will make this my power."

We cut to the rooftop of the apartment complex, where Hanna suddenly snaps awake. Mikoto grumbles about having to lug Hanna up here on her back, but Hanna presses Mikoto for info on what happened. Mikoto plays dumb, and Hanna says fine, she won't pry - but if Mikoto can't handle this on her own, Hanna is more than willing to help. Mikoto plays dumb again, and tells Hanna to get some sleep. Hanna says she's in pain, but does eventually fall asleep.

While she's asleep, Mikoto reflects on the past day or so, noting that there are gaps in her memories. She reasons out that the Uwasa she's fused with has been lying dormant, but is now gradually starting to awaken, taking over her body every now and then. When Mikoto's memories get hazy, those are the times when the Uwasa is taking control. Transferring the malice out of Hanna is feeding the Uwasa more power. Mikoto can suppress the Uwasa with her own magic, but this is very bad - she's already using magic in order to keep the Mirrors Labyrinth Rumor online for entrapping Iroha and Nemu. It's all leading up to Mikoto's magic being tapped out much faster than she'd anticipated. At this rate, with her memories being obscured by the Uwasa, she may forget Hanna altogether.

Aloud, she utters - "I'm scared... I'm scared, Hanna..." She begs to not forget Hanna, even as she keeps absorbing the malice away from her - because the only thing worse than forgetting Hanna is to have Hanna forget about her.

The next day, the girls rush to the train station in the late afternoon. Mikoto has a 1,000 yen bill in hand; Hanna side-eyes her for it, but Mikoto quickly clarifies that she's not a thief (stealing seems to be a moral red line for her, given that her parents had stolen from her too); she had this in one of her secret hiding spots. Normally, she'd just use some Uwasa magic to get their way, but they need to conserve their magic to survive, so they have to do things the normie way.

To herself, Mikoto notes that she needs to keep this secret. She knows that if Hanna finds out her true nature as a Rumor that gathers malice, and that Mikoto is absorbing it to protect her, Hanna will surrender herself immediately, if not try to eliminate her Rumor herself. Mikoto swears again that she'll protect Hanna no matter what it costs.

As they go to buy tickets, Mikoto is confronted by Kanagi (in her maid outfit, like she's rushed here from the cafe). Mikoto realizes that Touka has come back to the Record to find Nemu and Iroha AWOL. Kanagi demands that Mikoto explain their whereabouts. In response, Mikoto asks Kanagi, "Is it right to bring the dead back to life?" Kanagi is taken aback, but after consideration, decides it's not a good idea. Mikoto dismisses her, and Hanna drags Mikoto away; Kanagi recognizes her, and Hanna tells her, "Don't forget about us!" as she incapcitates Kanagi.

Mikoto shoves a ticket into Hanna's hands as they race to board the train; in a funny bit, Mikoto's shoes fall off along the way and she wants to renact Cinderella with Hanna, but Hanna drags her down to earth and makes her put her shoes on and board the train.

Once aboard, with the doors sealing, Mikoto reflects again that as always, they're racing towards a dead end. But even so...everything feels so vibrant and bright. She feels so happy, and doesn't even understand why. Even so, if Hanna is happy, too...then Mikoto can endure any pain for her sake.

As they watch the sunset, Hanna speaks up. She's happy to run away with Mikoto. She's so happy just to be with Mikoto. After their crime scene tour, she knows now what Mikoto means to her, and will stand by her side, and her side alone.

At this, Mikoto shyly asks to hold Hanna's hand, given that they weren't able to touch each other while Mikoto was a ghost. While Hanna believes her hands were forever tainted by her wish, Mikoto insists they're beautiful. Even if the whole world thinks they look ugly, that just means they're beautiful to Mikoto alone. She likes it that way. And so they roll on into the evening, hand-in-hand, the train rattling and rocking, two girls leaving with their dearly beloved...

We get a brief aside with Nanaka and Kako again, arriving at the train station to team up with some others to hunt for Iroha and Nemu. There, they come across Kanagi, recovering from her encounter with Hanna and Mikoto...

Time passes. Mikoto and Hanna move across the country, traveling north. Hanna uses her suggestion magic to secure them lodgings whenever they need to take a break. Hanna picks up odd jobs to save up money now and then - they need money for Christmas presents, after all. Mikoto is unable to get a job, however, not wanting to risk revealing her identity to prepare a resume or get an interview. Having spent her money on tickets, she has just shy over 100 yen - nothing that can afford a worthy gift for Hanna...until she suddenly remembers.

As covered in Mikoto's MGS, back when they were Magical Girls together, they kept an exchange diary together. Mikoto bought them matching pens to use - thankfully, she can still recall that Hanna had a purple one with a star design. That's the present, then - she can well afford it, and it's a meaningful gift for Hanna.

Just as she decides this, Hanna breaks her out of her reverie, saying she got them a house to borrow for the night - and Mikoto a little gift. It's a giveaway packet of snowdrop seeds from the florist, flowers to be planted in winter that bloom after the snow thaws. Mikoto loves flowers, so this is a perfect gift for her...and it makes her feel pathetic. Hanna is handling these circumstances so well, basically keeping their entire runaway mission going, and Mikoto is just being useless and helpless. She *needs* to get a gift for Hanna to repay her. But even as she starts looking for a gift, she can't find it...and as time passes, she starts forgetting her purpose altogether.

As they keep hoofing it north, though, Mikoto decides to plant the snowdrop seeds as they walk. She has a vision of the snow melting, their footsteps vanishing, but the snowdrops blooming in their wake, tracing their path...

They run into trouble along the way. Mikoto is constantly met with suspicion, even having police called on her. When that happens, they just keep running. Her Uwasa keeps questioning her will - why do all of this? Why resist? So she can spend a happy Christmas with Hanna, Mikoto says.

Here, we delve into her memories. She's only ever had one proper Christmas - the one when she was just seven years old. Her father was a deadbeat and her mom was always working late, never home. Mikoto was so sick and ashamed of her circumstances that one Christmas day, she ran onto the rooftop of the apartment complex and hid. It didn't matter if she was there or not, because her parents had decided she didn't deserve to have anything - not love, not a good, happy life. Not a proper Christmas. Nothing. If she hid, they would never come to find her.

Except she was proven wrong. Her mom realized what had happened and took the day off work, forced her husband to come home, and got fried chicken and cake for Christmas. She went and found Mikoto - hence the "Found you, Mikoto" memory from earlier. And even though the food was soggy and undone, Mikoto was so happy she cried.

From that year on, every Christmas, she made a tradition of hiding, hoping to be found again. And it never happened again. Not even once. And so that Christmas from when she was seven was the worst Christmas she'd ever had, for lifting her hopes so high with the bare minimum, and letting them be shattered.

But Hanna - Hanna always finds her. Hanna would never abandon her. Hanna is her hero. She *needs* to get Hanna that pen.

Listening to all this, the Uwasa suggests - why not draw on her magic, then? Copy the Uwasa's Familiars, and send them into the world to find the pen she's so keen on. Mikoto, delirious, agrees - if it's for Hanna's happiness, then using a little magic will be okay... But...she strains her memory, and asks - "Who are you again?" The Uwasa indulges her - "I am the me who will eventually become you."

Mikoto snaps awake. All of that was a dream...(or was it?) She looks around, realizing Hanna is gone, and has a breakdown until Hanna returns. She clings onto Hanna the moment she returns, sobbing into her. Hanna gently chides her for acting like a kid, but Mikoto says she *is* a kid, really; she doesn't want to grow up. Hanna is taken aback, and promises she won't leave with Mikoto's permission anymore.

As an apology, she has another gift for Mikoto - a proper pair of shoes. She's never gotten over that incident where Mikoto's shoes fell off at the station, so these will work much better for her. She managed to get them free by working for the local shoe store. She adds that it might as well be Mikoto's Christmas present.

Mikoto freezes - she still doesn't have Hanna's present yet. Hanna, oblivious, goes on about the shoe store, until a news report on the TV interrupts them with a story about a woman randomly found collaped and unconscious, in critical condition at the local entertainment district. Hanna remarks that there's been a spate of these cases lately...

But Mikoto can only focus on Hanna's present. She decides to make Familiar copies and send them out to find the pen. Confident in her success, she fantasizes about the wonderful Christmas that's soon to come, so excited to see how happy Hanna will be...

We cut over to Iroha and Nemu, still trapped in the Labyrinth. Nemu is able to track Mikoto's condition, confirming she's not suffering or in direct pain, but knowing the Uwasa will soon seize control if Mikoto keeps summoning Familiars. Just then, Nanaka arrives in the Labyrinth to rescue them, and to demand an explanation. Before Nemu gets into it, though, Nanaka has one pressing question she needs answered: "Is Hanna Sarasa still alive?"

Finally, Part 1 closes with a chapter from Hanna's perspective. It opens with a grim scene of her childhood, her father locking her out on the balcony in her underwear in the dead of a freezing Christmas night. What stuck with Hanna the most was seeing her mother gazing on her sympathetically from the warm, light-filled living room...and turning away from her just as Hanna tried asking her for help.

Hanna didn't want to be a person like that - someone who turns a blind eye to evil. She was going to be someone who helped those in need.

In Mizuna, she tried stopping bullies, only to be bullied herself. Even the kids she rescued ended up ignoring her and turning on her too. Eventually, Kyubey came knocking, and that culminated in her wish to erase all of her bullies from existence, leaving them only in her memory. She could no longer be a hero; she was now a villain.

But hearing Mikoto's words - "I want my dear friend to be alive!" - "I'm scared, Hanna..." - the fact that someone out there cares about her, that there's someone who considers her a dear friend, that there's someone who needs her help right now...Hanna will answer that call. Even if it kills her, she won't ignore Mikoto, so desperately in need. She'll never, ever be like her mother.

In the present, late one night, Hanna waits at home for Mikoto to return... Mikoto is very late indeed. She grumbles about Mikoto begging Hanna not to leave her alone, but here she is, abandoning Hanna like it's nothing...even though Hanna's gotten their early Christmas party all set up. But Hanna thinks she's not in a position to speak up against Mikoto, and so she waits. Mikoto took this trip in order to protect Hanna, after all... Hanna feels so guilty for putting Mikoto through all of this; feels like a coward exploiting Mikoto's kindness.

When she's with Mikoto, every day feels beautiful, shining, full of life. Where there was only dread, there is now hope. Hanna starts breaking down in tears - "I’m sorry, Sena… I feel like I’m no good without you… So don’t leave me… Stay next to me and smile…"

A breaking news report suddenly cuts through the night. It's another incident of a pedestrian left unconscious in the middle of the city, in critical condition... Hanna can't help but panic. There's some psycho going around attacking people, and Mikoto is still out there--- While she logically knows that Mikoto is literally built differently from muggles and therefore isn't really at risk of harm, she can't help but panic. Her heart can't help but feel so uneasy.

It's then that a Familiar appears to her. Hanna doesn't get it at first, but the Familiar gestures her to follow. It takes her to a shop in town, drenched in darkness... Something is very, very wrong. But Hanna must know what it is.

She creeps into the shop, a broken voice whispering in the dark, a presence stirring in the black. Hanna shouts for Mikoto a few times, and finally sees her standing among the stationery in one corner. Mikoto's body is covered in something thick and dark and sticky; something Hanna can't really see in all the darkness. Mikoto finally notices Hanna, staring for a second...and finally recognizes her. "I was going to write your name on my arm...so I wouldn't forget it."

She shows the pen she was going to use, explaining she'd wanted to find that matching pen from way back when as a gift...but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find the real thing, just this knockoff - one with a moon motif rather than stars. She just wanted Hanna to be happy...

Everything clicks together for Hanna. Mikoto's strange behavior, how she'd forget where she was or what she was doing, all these incidents with the critically injured people - that was Mikoto all along. She's used too much magic, and she's been pushed too far, crossing a horizon she can't retreat from. Mikoto's behavior will grow even more erratic and dangerous with time, and considering how dangerous she already is...

Hanna was determined to not let Mikoto die. Were they caught, she wouldn't made it so Hanna would be the only casualty. But now...

She tells Mikoto - "Don't be lonely. I'll follow you soon." Mikoto misunderstands - "You want to play tag? But I need to find your pen first!" After all, she wants Hanna to have a happy Christmas too. She deserves only good memories. She'll rewrite all of Hanna's bad memories...because Hanna is her hero.

Hanna, deep down, has always believed in justice. Even after her wish, she wanted the world to have some hope in it, for good to ultimately overcome evil.

It's time she puts an end to that unfulfilled dream. She can only be on Mikoto's side. She'll be who she wants to be - because that's what being a Magical Girl is about. She'll protect Mikoto - even though she doesn't remember anything about her.

Aloud, she remarks that Mikoto's hands must be cold - "Lemme warm them up." Mikoto protests, saying her hands are dirty; a pile of sand came crashing down on her, and that's how she found this pen all of a sudden... Hanna insists that they look beautiful to her. It doesn't matter what anyone says.

And to herself, she thinks - "I've decided to be perfectly evil for her sake."

Magia Record Story Agent Magica ~ Magireco x Lycoreco ~

2023-09-24T01:25:25Z

Bigscarythings: Added Part 1 summary

==Part 1==

The event opens with Chisato narrating a sort of recap of LycoReco's premise - Japan is a country governed by strict laws, and its people are kind and gentle. Those who wish to disturb their harmony must not be allowed to exist - "Erase, eradicate, beautify." Make it so that, as far as the public can tell, there was no danger to begin with. Lycoris serves to that end.

But certainly, the life of a Lycoris agent isn't easy - this time, Chisato and Takina have to contend with the abrupt disappearance of the target they're tasked to protect. They're returned to the cafe, where Chisato calls up their boss, Kusunoki, explaining that yes - the girl simply vanished right before their very eyes. Like magic, Chisato notes. Takina grumbles that Chisato's watched too many movies, but Kusunoki confirms there was a strange sound in the footage they collected...

Just then, however, the line to Kusunoki cuts into static. Takina notes this isn't the first communication problem they've had, so Chisato proposes they ask Kurumi to see what's up. But here in the cafe, they find everyone's gone out shopping - this was supposed to be a simple mission, after all, so no need for them to be on duty. Takina tries calling them all back to base, even trying to use Kurumi's drone, but no dice - no signal is getting through.

Chisato figures there's nothing to it; might as well wait for things to clear up. But Takina isn't liking how things are adding up. First their target vanishes out of nowhere; now they can't contact anyone, not even Kurumi; and there's that strange clanging noise from outside. "It's like a zombie movie," Chisato remarks. After a pause, she figures they oughta get out there and see what's up. After all, they've done plenty of zombie apocalypse simulations!

But they open the door to the cafe, and they find it opens to a completely different place... Little do they realize, they're outside Mikazuki Villa now!

First move again is to try calling everyone, even Fuki, but again, absolutely nothing gets through, and now they find themselves strangers in a strange land besides. Chisato jokes about this being one of those isekai stories, but Takina is far more wary, fearing this may be some bizarre terror attack. "Well then, let's go for a stroll!" Chisato proposes. "...To gather intel on the situation, correct?" "Of course!"

But as they explore the city, they find no familiar landmarks, namely not the radio tower from LycoReco. Their maps seem bugged out, but name this city as Kamihama, a place neither have heard of. At this point, Chisato wonders if this is some elaborate VR simulation by Kurumi; Takina says of course not, they don't have any VR equipment on, but Chisato keeps kidding around - "It's too modern to be an isekai story! They should've added some fantasy elements to make things easier to understand---"

They both snap to attention when they hear a shriek. Another world or not, their duty is to help others, so they spring into action, finding a woman attempting suicide by jumping off a roof. Before they can act, however, a certain hammer-wielding magical girl suddenly whooshes by them - one second she's on the ground; next second she's on the roof! The girls quickly surmise the interloper is no ordinary person, but agree to question her later - especially when they're all suddenly taken into the Rooftop Witch's Labyrinth.

Chisato takes it all in stride - until the monster within starts attacking, that is! Takina opens fire, only to find that conventional weapons are useless. Chisato manages to dodge the attacks, but just barely; she explains that she can read their movements to an extent, but the monster moves so bizarrely from humans and attack at such a range that she can't rely on her talent. She held the dim hope that all of this was a strange dream...but now things are leaning towards being real. It's a bad situation either way.

Isekai or not, Takina says they need to pull out - but the monsters won't let them. But before things get really bad, the girl from earlier suddenly shows up again...in a new outfit?

With bellow and a ka-blam, Felicia swiftly takes down the Witch! Everything settles back to normal, and she double-checks to make sure everything's okay with the woman. She turns back to her civilian outfit, remarking she's pretty sure she saw another meguca around... But she's not here now. So she goes to check on the other two civilians...

Felicia's surprised that Chisato and Takina are still conscious. After a deep sigh, Chisato marvels over Felicia - their guns didn't work, but Felicia took that thing out like it was nothing! She's amazing! Felicia is taken aback, but Chisato keeps going - "You saved us in the nick of time! You're a superhero!" Felicia is chuffed, but explains she ain't no superhero, she's a magi---ack! Uh, yeah, she's totally a superhero! A real live superhero! [Note - they just use "hero" in katakana, but "superhero" gets the connotation here a bit better]

"Well then, hero," Chisato declares, "we need your help!" Felicia's game - once they help the Witch's victim out of here, she'll hear what they have to say.

Chisato recaps the situation in narration - the moment they stepped foot outside Cafe Lycoreco, they found themselves isekaied to a new world, beset by a monster! But a dashing brave hero swooped in and saved them from great peril! Felicia recognizes "isekai" as those comics about people getting taken into a new world; Chisato says yeah, she's pretty sure she and Takina come from a different world than this.

For now, they oughta retrace their steps to this "Lycoreco" or whatever they've been talking about. As they walk, they chat - who was Felicia chatting with before she met ChisaTaki? Felicia explains, uhhh, basically, like, a fairy or yokai or something, you know? Chisato jokes - "The hero's sidekick!" and Felicia rolls with that. They round the corner, and Felicia recognizes this as the same route back to Mikazuki Villa; when asked, she explains its where she and her friends live - the hero's hideout, Chisato declares with delight! She'd love to check it out later, but for now, they gotta check out the cafe...

Once they arrive, Felicia is baffled. While it looks like a huge mansion, Chisato assures her, once they enter, the inside is actually Cafe Lycoreco. Felicia barges inside, stunned when she indeed finds the cafe; then charges back outside, verifying that the outside is still Mikazuki, and when she walks back in to find the cafe still there... She steps out, looking totally crushed. She's silent for a second, then bursts into tears - "Mikazuki is gone! Gone!!!"

Chisato panics - look, she's gone and made their hero cry! Takina is at a loss for what to do as well, but thankfully, a voice cuts into the scene - "Oh, Felicia! You're home early?" Indeed, the other Mikazuki girls arrive on the scene. Ui frets over Felicia wailing; Yachiyo decides they should all go inside to not cause a commotion, but Tsuruno notices the two strangers among them.

Chisato explains they come in peace; Felicia is the hero who saved their lives, so these new girls must be...the hero's guardians?

But this is way more serious than that, Felicia shouts! Mikazuki is gone!! Indeed, after ducking in and out, the megucas confirm that it's completely different on the inside. But what does this mean, Ui wonders? Where are we gonna sleep, Felicia asks? And Tsuruno panics - she left her homework inside the old Mikazuki!! For now, Yachiyo tells them to pull it together - they need to figure out what's going on.

Chisato asks if she can come inside, given that this is technically and not technically their house? Actually, Yachiyo wants to move them elsewhere, to a place that may be a more appropriate venue.. The Coordinator's Shop!

Mitama, with Kanagi, cheerily greets the gang as they come in, though the girls all look morose. Mitama's surprised to see two new faces in the bunch. With a nervous laugh, Chisato jumps right into it - they're visitors who've been isekaied, you see. She gives Mitama and Kanagi the lowdown, and Kanagi is left baffled - this seems like a situation straight from a comic book. And Mitama knows these girls aren't megucas; they don't respond to magic in any way, nor did they respond to Kanagi's telepathy.

Here, we confirm this event takes place shortly after Arc 1, before Arc 2 - Yachiyo, via telepathy to Kanagi and Mitama, explains they've been fighting the Wings of Magius until very recently. Yachiyo can't help but be wary. Felicia jumps in, pointing out that Chisato can't see Sana, and as MitaKana just said, neither are Magical Girls. But they were able to see and survive that Witch, though - they ain't magical girls, but sure are tough enough to be one. Iroha remarks she can't be a normal human, then, and Felicia adds that oh yeah, they had guns, but they didn't work too well - leaving Yachiyo *very* concerned.

Meanwhile, Takina and Chisato are awkwardly stuck on the outside of this telepathic conversation, noting that everyone just went dead silent all of a sudden. Takina suspects these girls might've been responsible for whatever's going on here, perhaps bring ChisaTaki back to their hideout to force them to do their bidding. Chisato counters that Felicia saved their lives, but Takina says it's still too early to trust them. Well, hey - Chisato tries seeing this from a different angle - maybe this is actually some secret heroic meeting spot...

Kanagi suddenly speaks up, asking them to introduce themselves. Chisato introduces herself as the signboard girl for Cafe Lycoreco, and Takina as a fellow employee. Kanagi transforms, and with a pulse of light, confirms that yes, their words are true. Takina flares up, asking just what Kanagi thinks she's doing; Kanagi says she read their minds, and inquires about Lycoris, putting Takina on red alert. "I'm not one to easily trust a person with a gun," Kanagi continues. Takina grits her teeth, and then in a swift move, surprises Kanagi by dropping her with a wire attack.

Chisato shouts, asking what Takina is even doing; Takina says she knows about Lycoris, and therefore cannot be allowed to walk free! But Yachiyo bursts in between them while the others surround them before Takina even had time to notice or react. Chisato's like "Maybe we should surrender?" and Takina concedes that they're all quite skilled... Yachiyo says they're ones to talk - who goes around carrying guns and restraining tools? Takina and Yachiyo stare each other down in intense silence...

Until Chisato barks out, "H-hold it right there!" Yachiyo swerves on Chisato, asking what she's up to; Chisato quickly explains they don't mean any harm! Jeez, everyone's taking this way too seriously...and jumping to conclusions way too fast. "I have to be because you aren't," Takina snaps. Chisato asks her to bite her tongue for now before she really gets them into a mess.

Chisato desperately tries to salvage things - they really did enter this world out of the blue, and Lycoris is ("probably!") not an evil organization!

Kanagi, back on her feet, gives them another scan, confirming yes, Chisato seems to be telling the truth. Yachiyo says alright, let's start over - first, tell us about Lycoris. After a calculating silence, Chisato remarks that Yachiyo and the others have pretty big secrets of their own. Superheroes or not, they suddenly came at ChisaTaki using mindreading and other strange powers. This conversation needs to be on equal terms, so if she's going to tell them their secrets, they need to do the same in turn.

As cautious as she is, Yachiyo decides alright, she'll tell them their secret. She transforms into her meguca form and back, saying they aren't superheroes, but rather Magical Girls, girls who bear the mission of fighting Witches in exchange for a single wish. Kanagi cuts in, saying her personal magic is mindreading. Takina thinks back to the monster from earlier - was that a Witch? Right, Iroha says, and they're responsible for crimes and tragic incidents. To prevent their occurrence, they must slay Witches - but they keep it all a secret from muggles.

Chisato remarks they're all a lot more alike than you would assume. But when it's her turn to talk, she's hesitant - "I feel like you guys might be in danger if you learn about us..." Kanagi says she's happy to use her magic again if they won't talk; Chisato's like okay, no, that has room for embarrassment! But yeah - they just revealed their secret, and they did save her and Takina's life, so... Takina isn't very enthused about this, but Chisato smiles, saying it'll be fine.

So yeah, Chisato and Takina are Lycoris agents! Takina explains further saying Lycoris is a section of the DA, an independent security organization, tasked with security and protecting the public order, stopping incidents before they occur and secretly disposing of criminals and terrorists.

Chisato stares at Takina with a wide-eyed look - did Takina really have to go into the DA and all that...? She couldn't have fibbed or something? Takina's like "What? You said it was okay to tell! Why didn't you say something?!" Chisato is sheepish, but waves it all off with a grin. She finishes it with the little nutshelll about Lycoris working to ensure that people believe they live in peace and security.

The megucas digest this bombshell - agents of a secret organization to protect the country, preventing crimes before they occur, gunslinging in school uniforms... Wild stuff! Takina explains that the school uniforms are a kind of urban camouflage, least likely to draw attention. Felicia's loving all this - "It's just like in the movies!" Chisato's like "I know, right?!"

She then explains that the cafe is for individual clients, though - a place for people in need, whatever the problem may be! From being daycare workers to foreign language teachers to bodyguards - both a branch of the DA, but also a free agent in certain ways. But! She implores them all to keep everything a secret - while the DA isn't evil, they're very dangerous.

Yachiyo agrees. With that, however, they're all on the same page. Takina apologizes for attacking Kanagi just then, while Kanagi apologizes for invading their minds too. Mitama explains that Kanagi had jumped the gun after learning they had guns, and Chisato can't blame her there. So with ChisaTaki coming from another reality...presumably, they want to go back? That's right, Takina says. And the Mikazuki girls want to be able to go home too - so why don't they all work together to get their place back?

Takina and Chisato agree, and with that, a new teamup is born. They all introduce themselves again to start fresh, ready to work together!

So now that the alliance has been born...what do they do now? First, the Mikazuki girls ask ChisaTaki to go over the events leading to their arrival here. Takina explains that just a few hours ago, they were tasked to protect a girl being held hostage by terrorists. They arrived on the scene to find other Lycoris agents had eliminated the terrorist mastermind; their job now was to guard the girl herself. But during their mission, the girl suddenly vanished into nowhere. Mission failed; they decided to regroup at the cafe and called their boss, but the line suddenly went dead during the call. When they left the cafe, they were in this new world.

Takina, wracking her brain for any clues as to what happened, says there was one other strange thing - the target was shrieking and screaming when they arrived at the scene. Iroha figures she must've been scared, but Chisato and Takina aren't so sure. Chisato thinks the girl might've been freaking out over seeing people getting killed, but Takina remarks the girl had been held hostage for a long time - she may have developed affection for the terrorist. Stockholm Syndrome, as Tsuruno points out. Anticipating this, Takina and Chisato had wanted to arrive at the scene first to take the mastermind into custody, but alas.

Chisato wonders - can magic be used to make people vanish like that? Is it common here? Kanagi says it's not impossible. After all, these girls just suddenly showed up here out of nowhere... Mitama says she'll try to determine if there's anything here that could've caused it.

After Tsuruno asks, ChisaTaki confirm that they still can't get any calls or signals through, not even the drone! Ui marvels over the cool tech, and Chisato explains their tech girl should be able to monitor them through this, but nope, nada. Mitama speculates that this may be the work of a Witch...or a Rumor. Tsuruno explains about the Uwasas - they're supposed to be gone now, but some may still remain. And when it comes to Rumors...who to ask but Nemu?

And Touka knows all about tech, too, and they're probably with Mifuyu right now. Chisato asks, and the girls explain that Touka and Nemu are a pair of geniuses, and Mifuyu is someone who worked with Yachiyo in the past. They're likely at the radio telescope, and start on their way, but as they walk, Iroha and Yachiyo spot a long-haired purple NPC girl, and their spirits drop.

Felicia asks what's up, and IroYachi explain via telepathy that they'd saved this girl from a Labyrinth just outside of Kamihama a few days ago. The NPC isn't a meguca, but her friend (a short-haired blue NPC girl) was... In a flashback, we see the blue NPC had Witched out, leaving the purple girl screaming over her senpai. By the time they arrived on the scene, there was nothing that could be done - and since it was outside of Kamihama, there was no doppel to save the senpai.

Takina, looking wide-eyed and concerned, asks what's up - and points out that everyone seems to have a habit of suddenly going dead silent all the time. Yachiyo, stone-faced, says it's nothing, and they all move on.

We cut to the radio telescope HQ, where the girls have explained the situation. Nemu says such otherworldly matters are Touka's domain, but Touka says they ought to be more suspicious of Nemu's Uwasas. Nemu says she doesn't recall any Rumor that would create this scenario - but she'll investigate to be sure. Touka proposes they begin with investigating Mikazuki itself.

There, Nemu verifies there is no Uwasa in play, and Cafe Lycoreco is indeed inside Mikazuki. Touka marvels in delight over the flagrant violation of basic laws of physics! They then turn to Kurumi's drone - Touka asks if she can get this working again, will she be able to communicate with this "Kurumi?" Chisato can't be sure, but it's worth a shot. With that, Touka makes her signature mischievous giggle; Yachiyo warns her not to do anything dangerous. Touka retorts that changing between worlds is already as dangerous as it gets!

Touka confirms with Nemu that the latter can't create anymore Rumors...but she can modify ones in existence. Nemu remarks it's not impossible, depending on how far they take it, but - no. But Touka says they have a certain Rumor kept in storage, don't they? The Rumor of the Otherworldly Phone Call? (I'm imagining something like the Loneliness Engine short story from invisiblegames, ha) Nemu smiles - yes, that Rumor may work in this case...

With a bit of rewriting, the drone becomes a phone to the beyond! Chisato activates the drone, and they hear Kurumi - "We finally connected!" She quickly shouts for ChisaTaki - "Cafe Lycoreco's in trouble!" Chisato cries out that they're in another world - and Kurumi, of course, doesn't believe it. Whatever - what's up with the cafe? Kurumi sends over video footage, revealing Mikazuki's interior - indeed, the cafe and the villa's interiors have swapped places!

Chisato explains their end of things, and Kurumi realizes the depth of how screwed up things are. Can things get any worse? Either way, Touka giggles, and takes over the call - "Alright, genius hacker - let's have a discussion!"

Kurumi is forced to reckon with the bombshell of new world, not wanting to believe it. Touka says she has to - there's no Kamihama City in Lycorecoland after all. She's disappointed that this so-called "genius" has such a limited way of viewing things... Kurumi remarks she's more about mindgames; a different brand of genius than Touka is, ha. But indeed, there are so many bizarre things and differences in both worlds that she has to admit that the isekai theory is true. Even despite all of Chisato's jokes, she's actually genuinely surprised that it well and truly is an isekai case...

Still, with Kurumi, Touka, and Nemu on the case, they'll try finagling a solution to swapping everything and everyone back in their proper place. So that leaves ChisaTaki free to be normal students in this world, with no Lycoris to report to! Takina quickly dampens Chisato's parade, though - Nemu tasks everyone to canvass the city for any stray Uwasas that may be causing mishaps, and ChisaTaki should help.

Still, Chisato says without the DA breathing down the back of their necks, they can at least enjoy themselves a little - like going undercover at school! Takina chides her for playing around, but actually, Nemu says that's a viable plan for investigating Uwasas. She explains that Uwasas and young people go hand-in-hand - but how do they get the girls to infiltrate the school...? Kurumi says she's got this - she'll have them enrolled into Iroha's school for a few days. Nemu is taken aback - what can Kurumi do here? Kurumi points out again that she's a different brand of genius than TouNemu - just leave things to her. And don't worry, no one will be harmed...

And indeed she succeeds! Chisato is over the moon about getting to live an ordinary school life! They all head to school together, with ChisaTaki in Iroha's class, while Ui and Tsuruno head off to their own. Chisato's like "Alright, I'm looking forward to the high school life!" With some hesitation, Iroha points out that actually, this is a middle school class... Chisato's thrown that Iroha's isn't actually in high school, and then that she won't be getting the fun and free budding high schooler experience - but Kurumi says hey, Chisato's about the same mental age as a middle schooler, so it works.

At this, Takina wonders - can Kurumi see this? Yeah, Kurumi verifies over the communicator, but since they don't expect anything too crazy for now, she'll mainly be working with TouNemu unless they need her. In the meantime, Chisato asks, how are the others holding up? Kurumi doesn't know if it's the lack of coffee or the absence of ChisaTaki, but they aren't as chipper as usual... And the regulars are disappointed that the cafe's closed, too. The manga artist can't get her pages done! And Mika is trying to run interference about the whole "alternate realities" thing from the DA, so they gotta get things sorted out quick!

Iroha asks about Mika; Chisato explains Mika is their manager and guardian in a way. She sounds much like Yachiyo to Mikazuki, Iroha remarks. Chisato explains that despite the feminine name, Mika is actually an old man - Iroha is surprised; she assumed Mika was a woman! But whatever, they got class to attend - after Chisato convinces everyone to drop the honorifics, the undercover operation begins

In class, ChisaTaki introduces themselves as transfer students - and Chisato loooooves gossip and anything to do with rumors, so feel free to chat with her about anything related to that! A little while later in the classroom, Rena comes over, introduced as a fellow meguca. She's got a bone to pick against Uwasas, that's for sure. Speaking with Iroha, we find that Tsuruno and the other older megucas are asking around the high school; Iroha and friends will be investigating the middle school. Chisato latches right onto Rena and says alright, you and I'll start asking around, and poor Rena is zipped away...

From here, we get a cute montage of various Kamihama Affiliated students - the Acorns point out, aren't the "Rumors" supposed to be gone? So are they just talking about normal rumors? That mentioned, Seika's heard something like that... Ren's heard about a rumor outside of Kamihama City from Rika and the others; Emiri's like yeah, there's a rumor among megucas about if you do some certain steps, you can enter another world! Crazy, right? Kako, specifically, says if you open a door on a certain rooftop in twilight, the door will lead to another world...but that can't really be true, right?

As the girls leave school that evening, they run into Momoko - we learn that while Chisato was whirling Rena around the school, Rena snatched up Kaede along the way and dragged har around with them! Momoko's happy to be introduced to ChisaTaki in person, and they seem to know about Momoko too. That settled, they pool together their findings - the rumor of a rooftop that leads to a new world. It *could* be the one they came from, but...they don't know that for certain. Plus, the rumor is something occuring outside of Kamihama. And they can't exactly try every single door on every single rooftop, so...

Chisato proposes they conduct some after-school canvassing (and a bit of sightseeing along the way)! Takina says Chisato's only saying that because it's something she wants to do, and Chisato doesn't deny it - "You gotta put the things you wanna do first, after all!" and giggles. Takina knows there's nothing she can do when Chisato gets like this.

More seriously, Chisato says Iroha and the others don't need to busy themselves with this. Iroha isn't so sure - won't they get lost? Chisato says they've got Kurumi and drone to help navigate! But Iroha points out the threat of Witches... Tsuruno says she's coming! Takina says she doesn't want everyone to be dragged along by Chisato's whims, but Kaede points out that it'll make talking to Magical Girls easier, especially if they're talking about "Rumors."

Takina admits they have a point, so Tsuruno will be joining them, while the others will talk with Nemu about any relevant Uwasas. While the rumor is set outside of Kamihama, it doesn't hurt to cover their bases. But before the trio takes off, Iroha warns them - if they end up leaving Kamihama's borders, there's something they need to keep in mind... (We get the rest of this conversation later)

A few days pass. We learn that none of Nemu's Rumors are relevant to what's being talked about here, so that's a dead end. But as they look into things with Tsuruno, they all have fun along the way - visiting an arcade with Rena and friends, eating at Banbanzai and Kanagi's maid cafe, meeting all sorts of new pals (as seen in ChisaTaki's MGSes), and enjoying the isekai student life!

But, as Takina cuts off the narration - they're not just here to play around. This time, they're here at Sankyo ward's school where they bump into Natsuki, asking about the Rumor. Natsuki remarks while she doesn't know if it's another world, she *did* wander into someplace strange not too long ago... She gives them the location on their map, and Tsuruno knows just the way - a breakthrough at last! Tsuruno asks Natsuki if there was anything else unusual there. Natsuki saw two magical girls she didn't recognize - one with short hair, another with long - but it stands that there would be magical girls in other cities.

After failing to uncover anymore leads, the trio decides to head to the rooftop outside of Kamihama that Natsuki marked. Tsurunos sent word, and the others will be meeting them there as well. But before they can get to work, Tsuruno senses a Witch nearby. She tells ChisaTaki to stay put, locates the Witch, and transforms. Takina asks if she'll be alright alone, and Tsuruno says of course - she's the Mightiest Magical Girl! She runs off, leaving ChisaTaki alone.

Chisato just can't get over how cool megucas are, while Takina has her doubts about the wacky outfits. And that's when they hear an all-too familiar voice... "Are you interested in Magical Girls?" Takina is on alert - a talking plushie?! But no - Kyubey greets Chisato and Takina by their full names, and gives him the pitch to become a magical girl. There's a little pause...and then a resounding "No way!!" They've heard all about him from Iroha and the gang, and they won't fall for this!

This is when we cut back to the end of the previous episode - Iroha, Tsuruno, and Momoko warned Chisato and Takina that if they encounter a white tanuki-esque creature named Kyubey, do not make a contract with him. If they encounter a similar one who says "Mokyu" all the time, they're a good buddy; but the one who talks cannot be trusted! Just say no and leave.

So that's what they're doing now! Kyubey says well, he can't force them to do anything, and takes his leave. Chisato sighs with relief - she didn't expect to actually meet him. But still...they didn't get an explanation as to *why* they should avoid his offer. Like, a wish comes true AND you get to be a rad magical girl - what's wrong with that?! But, as Takina knows full well - there's a darker side to every pure and good front.

Soon enough, Tsuruno returns and they meet with the meguca squad, and move out to the rooftop. Along the way, they explain how they met Kyubey, who waited until Tsuruno was gone before approaching the girls. Just goes to show that you need to always be on your guard, Yachiyo says. After a pause, Chisato asks, so why exactly can't they contract? Iroha scrambles for something to say, but thankfully, they come upon their location just in time.

They review what the rumor instructs - enter this ruined building at twilight. Ascend to the rooftop in silence, close your eyes, open the door to the roof, and you'll enter another world. Ui says it's a surprisingly simple rumor - she thought it would be more complicated than that. But it'd explain why people can unwittingly and unluckily find themselves taken elsewhere... In any case, the megucas gear up and everyone moves to activate the rumor. They open the door, and...

They find themselves in a strange, misty domain (the bg is used is the white smoky background where Doppels are unlocked). It's a strange world, Takina says, looking concerned...but she finds her determination, saying they know now that the rumor is true - and they can no longer contact Kurumi again, just like when they first arrived in Kamihama. Chisato wonders how Takina can be so calm in a situation like this, but Yachiyo hushes them both - someone is here. They can sense she's a fellow meguca, but...Iroha gets a shell-shocked look on her face. It's the dead NPC-chan, looking none too pleased with their presence! The one who's supposed to be the Witch! And...the girl that Chisato and Takina were tasked to protect!!

Wait - they *all* know her?! There's someone who exists in both worlds?! There's no way that girl could come back from Witching out, so it can't be her, but...could she have been isekaied along with ChisaTaki?

But wait, Chisato asks them to back up - she understands that megucas are heroes and Witches are villains...but this girl became a Witch? That's when she gets the Witch bomb, and the real reason why they didn't want ChisaTaki contracting. Chisato - I think for the first time in this event - looks devastated, and Takina isn't happy about it either, but...they can talk about that later. For now, they need to carry out their miission.

ChisaTaki approach their target, asking for her to join them. They haven't figured out a way back to their world yet, but...they'll find something. For now, why doesn't she tell them about how she ended up here? But the girl just says "I'm not coming", and attacks (I think with a gun but I didn't hear the sound effect, ha).

The magical girls are started, but - Chisato somehow dodged! Tsuruno's not willing to push Chisato's luck and gets to work, but they hear someone say, "I won't let you." With that, all of the megucas suddenly vanish; ChisaTaki are separated. Now alone, the NPC intones, "I won't need your help. There's no place for me to return. You took it from me - you took my place, my person away---! So that's why I ripped you away from yours." ChisaTaki stammer, and the girl continues, saying she was right to spark that rumor. She'd made a bit of a miscalculation when they got Magical Girls on their side, but even so, they all believed the rumors and came out to NPC-chan's base...not knowing this would be their grave. "This is where you will die, Lycoris."

On the outside, we find the megucas have been expelled back to the real world, at the base of the building. Felicia's confused as to what happened, Iroha explains while the NPC looks just like the girl who Witched out, she seems to actually be from Lycorecoland. And she sure looked pissed off when she saw ChisaTaki... We get a flashback-reminder to the scene about the target's potential Stockholm Syndrome, and how fellow Lycoris agents took out the terrorist mastermind. In the present, it stands that NPC-chan would have a grudge against Lycoris agents...

Even with guns, ChisaTaki are at a disadvantage against a magical girl - and Felicia realizes, with that voice that didn't recognize before getting expelled, that there's actually gonna be *two* magical girls they'll be fighting... But Felicia realizes something...while the rest of them were kicked out of the domain, Sana isn't here among them...

We cut back to ChisaTaki, who know the score - they can't blame her for wanting their blood. So if they want to keep her safe and fulfill their mission, they just gotta step up their game in turn! Takina warns that the girl is armed, and verifies with Chisato - "Do you value your life?" "Of course!" "...Very well." She opens fire, forcing the enemy meguca to dodge. Chisato calls out to the meguca as they move, saying "You're still so young! You definitely have what it takes to join Lycoris!" But of course, why would NPC-chan want anything to do with them?! True enough, Chisato calls, but she's got one huge weak point - she's too passionate.

With that, she abruptly corners meguca-chan, and asks her again to leave quietly so they can all go home together. But the mysterious voice cuts in again - "Don't interrupt." A meguca NPC (purple NPC-chan, but she's using the generic Bo Peep magical girl Live2D) cuts in between Chisato and blue-chan - "Are you alright, Senpai?!" "Yes, thankfully!" and blue-chan transforms into her meguca form as well.

Chisato recognizes the duo now - they must've been the meguca partners Iroha had seen. Purple-chan admits she's surprised Chisato knows them, but hey, they know her too. Prepare for battle.

In a quick flashback to the initial Witch battle with ChisaTaki and Felicia, we're reminded that Felicia had felt another magical girl in the area, who was gone before she checked on ChisaTaki... That was purple-chan, who had a chance to see Chisato in action, and thus has a counter: She unleashes a blast of light to blind Chisato, eliminating her preturnatural talent to dodge.

Purple-chan whales away at Chisato while Takina desperately contends with blue-chan (meaning you have Red vs Red and Blue vs Blue, ha) - who's not attacking to kill, but seems to be restraining Takina, leaving her unable to back up Chisato. Chisato is downed, and purple-chan steps back, saying "It's time to end this, Senpai." With a flash of light, blue-chan tells Takina, "You ought to know the pain of loss." She turns to her kohai, praising her for her work - and now it's over. With that, they both vanish into the fog.

After a few seconds of processing things, Takina runs to Chisato's side, shouting her name. Chisato breathes out "...Takina...", drenched in blood, before managing out a weak laugh - "That's...bad... A Magical Girl, huh...?" and falls unconscious.

The world fades, and they find themselves on the now-ordinary rooftop. Takina is in tears, huddled over Chisato's body, still uttering her name, and finally... "Somebody... Please... Please save Chisato..."

And that's just what Kyubey has been waiting to hear.

Kyubey greets Takina - looks like Chisato is in a bad spot. She can wish to save Chisato, in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Takina adds that she'll be fated to become a Witch someday as well...but yes. She'll take the contract, and makes her wish: "Please save Chisato."

Takina is engulfed in light, and when she comes to, she's a Magical Girl now, dressed up in her swanky new outfit - and Chisato is still unconscious...but alive. Sleeping like a baby with a smile on her face. Takina smiles at the sight, before a voice pipes up - Takina snaps into guard mode, and Sana sheepishly greets herself. She notes, sadly, that Takina contracted after all... And explains that she was kept in reserve as a contingency plan. At this, we cut to the meguca's POV in a flashback - Sana hadn't been showing up in this event so far since ChisaTaki couldn't see her, but now, we can see that Sana agreed via telepathy to stay in reserve, waiting at the base of the building, in the off-chance this really was an actual Uwasa with nasty powers (ex. freezing movements) and they needed backup.

In the present, Sana explains she's only visible to other magical girls - she says you could consider her a fairy or yokai of sorts. That triggers Takina's memory - so *Sana* was who Felicia had been talking to when they all first met! In that case, Takina has a favor to ask of Sana...

Magia Record Story Puella Historia Pillar of Tomorrow

Bigscarythings: Added Part Two summary

''The following is a summary posted on Discord by bigscarythings.''
==Part One==
Kagome opens with a fast summary of events so far - Iroha ascended and worked to travel through time to record the lost stories of magical girls. In the process, her concept collapsed and she was about to die, so her meguca pals traveled back in time to repair her concept. Their plan worked, and they were reunited with Iroha for an entire minute...before they realized the trap: that in recompiling Iroha, they had recompiled their historic enemy as well.

Now all of Kamihama has been engulfed in an enormous Labyrinth; at its center, built atop Mizuna Castle, is the Symbol Witch in all her hideous glory. Nayuta and Mikage, who were out patrolling when this occured, boggle over the scene; Mifuyu quickly finds them and explains that things have gone FUBAR and everyone needs to get to the Witch right now. Meanwhile, Hinano, Emiri and Shizuku boggle over the same thing. Hinano panics that the Witch is actually Iroha when she senses Iroha's reaction coming from the witch, but Emiri, her intuition sharper than a knife, surmises that Iroha and Yachiyo got nommed by the Witch, and they gotta go rescue 'em!

Now onto ground zero, Felicia is raring to fight the Witch, but Tsuruno holds her back, saying she'll die if she charges in alone, and Sana backs her up. But there's debate among the team - Rena wants to hurry and save her friends, as does Kaede, and even Momoko agrees, saying they can't afford to waste a single second. Yuna hates to go in without a plan, but admits they don't have time to make one right now. Shizuka says the choice is either fighting or standing here and awaiting defeat, so she's fighting. Himena reports that Hiko estimates IroYachi are at the Witch's apex, so they gotta head on up! But Lavi admits uncertainty, given that the entire city now forms the Witch's body and Labyrinth...

At this, Touka roars in frustration. Just standing here minimizes their odds of success! If they fail to act, then at this rate, the Witch will engulf the entire world! Being overly cautious is stupid and useless! Nemu tells her to cool off, but Tsuruno says they're motivating words - they gotta move!

Meanwhile, we cut to Iroha and Yachiyo within the void... Iroha is sorry this happened, but Yachiyo knows it's not Iroha's fault. But playing before their eyes is a series of disturbing, horrific visions...

...And in narration, we readers are privy to the Symbol Witch's thoughts...

"I must survive. That is my mission." She has been offered a power, one that will not be stolen from her... A power that can ensure her people find food and water, can sleep through the night in peace, and awaken with the dawn, as was meant to be. With their basic needs secured, they'll be free to make the grandest, most joyful family of all, where they can be surrounded by children and grandchildren...

In the Labyrinth, the girls face their first obstacle - swarms of familiars are pouring in, blocking their advance. Juri goes on a rampage even as Ao and Hikaru tell her to calm down. San is good for crowd control, but she can't handle all these masses alone. Sunao is providing support, but the Familiars are still getting past their lines - Charu thinks it's not so much that they're breaking through, but that Familiars are just spawning from everyplace. Felicia overexerts herself, but is rescued by Sana with a timely grief seed.

Just then, Mitama finally shows up (I think she's using Mito's connected hearts power? I have to see the animations) - she and the Coordinators were testing something, and they've confirmed how to shut down the Familiars - in past nodes, they found entry points from Familiar Labyrinths that lead to this one. Shut down the spawn points, and you shut down the onslaught! The girls learn that they're getting backup from other groups, like the Acorns; Kagome and Aru use their magic to get the Arumy to spread the word to all the teams!

But that's not enough for Juri, and she hatches her beautifully stupid plan - why climb the castle when they can just topple it?! Felicia is totally with her, calling her a genius; Juri had a feeling they'd get along just fine! They get to work even as Tsuruno and Yuna scream at them to stop, and it goes about as well as you'd think - it just pisses off the Familiars and Witch even more! We cut over to the Azaleas for a second, learning that Ayame had already tried this plan to similar results. Ria and Manaka are climbing up too as they get Aru's dispatch, and start advancing full steam ahead!
Back to the Symbols Witch... Here, she contemplates her wish. Were it for the blessings of sun and rain, it matters not if there are no seeds. Without seeds, no plants will grow; without plants, animal life won't either. Wish for the blessings of the wind, and all it will yield is nothing but the caress of dry sand if there is no life... Therefore, she asks for all of the above: She wishes for a fertile paradise to bring prosperity to her family.

Back to the fighters, they defeat the onslaught; Juri is scolded again, but Felicia points out that thanks to them, they found a ton of spawn points and shut them down, and learned a fast secret to destroying them. Aru's spread word on that too, as well as not targeting the castle - Aru points out that Ayame had tried that first to poor results.

Meanwhile, we cut to Ayame sneezing - Konoha fears the poor gremlin's caught a cold, but Hazuki figures someone's talking about Ayame, that's all. We cut to Shigure getting info on spawn point weaknesses, and the Nanamafia is pleased to learn this, too - Meiyui and Kako swiftly take down two spawn points with the new info! They move to join with Hinano's team when there comes an ungodly rumble... and the Witch lets loose a terrifying laser that blasts apart the earth; the megucas barely manage to dodge. They all gotta hurry even more to reach Iroha and Yachiyo...

The Symbol Witch continues narrating the tale of her life - though, in the very end, she died vanquishing an entity known as a "Witch," she saw through the end of her people's journey. Though they starved and forged through a wicked sandstorm, they came to the paradise she was promised: a land of clear water, plentiful life, and peace. The people soon regained their strength and settled down to make families; the magical girl was content with this, and as she reflects on her past now, she has no regrets about her wish.

In the Labyrinth, as the laser strikes, the spawn points all reform, and souped-up Familiars swarm at the invaders again. It's tough, but the girls cling to the fact that Iroha and Yachiyo's signatures remain strong. Tsuruno also pinpoints their location to the golden statue at the top of the Witch, giving them a target. Mitama tells them to hurry - just focus on climbing without shutting down the reforming spawn points, as she formally rejoins the group.

Over at the Acorns, Mito is being cheery as always, getting her in a bit of a squabble with a panicking Leila; Seika gets them to calm down. But then they detect the Witch's magic - and she makes a clone of herself! Himika is like "is this really necessary right now?!" but ultimately, the girls hunker down to fight - there's no backing down, everything is on the line! They'll keep their hearts together!

And now we return to Iroha and Yachiyo. Yachiyo is breaking down, everything falling into a blur of dream and reality; but Iroha is there to tell her no, all of this is real. But here, Iroha has come to understand the true nature of this Witch - it is truly her opposite in every way. Where Iroha maintains a record to bring magical girls into the future, the Symbol Witch... She's both a symbolic representation of "prosperity", and an archive of the symbols of the people she feeds upon. Indeed, the visions she's showing to Iroha and Yachiyo are made to break their spirits - an archive of despair, essentially a snuff montage of all the magical girls she's killed or devoured into herself (like Tsuyu, whose Witch was consumed by Symbol-chan). More than ever, Yachiyo and Iroha wish they could save all the magical girls who fell into despair...

It's interesting; it seems like the Symbol Witch as a meguca lasted for a remarkably long time, at one point describing her people as "descendants" of those she had wished for. But the dialogue definitely implies she's a very primal meguca

Each tiny groove the needle fills contains within what's smaller still...

One thing to clarify, the Symbol Witch meguca perhaps doesn't actually die to a witch, but she's saying that even though she's accepted that she probably would die fighting one, she regrets nothing... That is, until...

Much time passes after the meguca makes her wish, the stars circling overhead countless times. The loved ones she had wished for now have their descendants, who eagerly come to see her whenever she returns from her witch hunting trips. She can't say how long it's been since she became a meguca...but it's been a massively long time. She takes pride in being her clan's guardian, and in her strength; hearing their voices puts her at ease. But she feels her condition starting to fade now...and knows her time is drawing short...

Back in the present, the megucas finally breach a hole in the mass of monsters, helped by Himena combining Yuna's redirection magic with Hagumu's witch-busting ability, and Shizuka using her "stop" magic to freeze the Familiar mobs. But the match is still in the Witch's favor, especially as her offshoots change into even more powerful forms. The girls are vexed over how this witch is rapidly gaining so much strength, but as Yuna says, until that gets figured out, they have to focus on winning these immediate matchups. Felicia remembers Yachiyo explaining in the Present Kamihama chapters on how they could get a fast powerup...but also that it's way too risky and really should not be done.

Hagumu steps up to sacrifice herself to take down some of the mobs, but Himena instantly puts the kibosh on that, knowing that Hagumu will die for nothing if she does that. And just then, who arrives to save the day but...Himika Mao! Indeed, reinforcements have ridden in now that the magical girls from all across Kamihama have finally navigated the massive Labyrinth and reached the main squad!

The girls all launch in to punch another hole in the mob, while Livia and Mitama stand aside and speculate...how can they stop this Witch's power boosts? Livia reasons that the Witch may be feeding outside of this Labyrinth...but how? And why?

...That's when we see a flash to the past - Tsuyu and Chizuru fighting a suddenly massive, powerful Witch that's definitely not part of the intended history, struggling as it abruptly grows even stronger...

Back to the Symbol Witch again - life in her little paradise continued to be one of bliss, where friends and descendants lived in peace. But then came the fateful day where it would all be lost: the invaders were not any foreign tribe, but actually an offshoot of their original clan, who had caught wind of the rumors of the other clan's paradise, and moved to take it for themselves. Life soon transformed into a struggle for land, and a clash over a future neither could agree on. The resplendent colors of paradise soon turned into nothing but ugly, horrible red.

In the present, the megucas keep up their assault, moving up the giant staircase in bursts. Himena and Hiko realize that if the Witch is capable of screwing up history, she's probably doing that now - and that might be the source of her sudden power ups...

In the meantime, with a breach opened, the megucas send Team Mikazuki forth, with Mifuyu, KMR and KanaMita joining the blitz - it's very cute; Kanagi and Mifuyu head up after Mikazuki first; then Mitama decides she'll go after getting the okay from Livia, and then says, "Momoko, you and your team are protecting me!" Momoko is taken aback for the slightest moment, but goes with it anyway.

As KMU advances, the others hunker down for a fight, but with all their numbers gathered, they can hold out - Sasha casts her pacifying magic, and everyone moves to take 'em all down!

Meanwhile, Kagome and the Aru army reunite. Kagome is severely taxed and needs a grief seed to heal her soul gem. Lavi apologizes for making her labor so hard, but it was worth it - Kagome did what she needed to do. But she feels like it's not enough...! After a pause, Nemu suggests she consult with Mikoto again; Kagome agrees, saying she'll be careful with how she approaches things this time. Sakurako gives her Mikoto's book, and Kagome dives in, with Lavi and Urara watching over her.

Meanwhile, in Egypt, Ebony struggles against this mysterious Witch, while Gunhild and Olga abruptly encounter it during their campaign in England; Gunhild fights to defend the uncontracted Olga, swearing she'll take it down so she can make a name for them in the war...

Symbols-chan again - As the war rages on, her hopes die with it. She no longer fights with pride; this power for fighting Witches and bringing happiness to her people has been defiled into murder and greed. In the end, all ideals become broken, unable to be repaired. And the realization urges to her realize...that the purpose to which she had devoted herself was naught but a fleeting illusion and dream...

In the present, Kagome meets with Mikoto. She quickly learns that Mikoto is in a sort of static form in the record - she's only aware of whatever's etched into her book; since her previous encounter with Kagome wasn't added, she has no recollection of it. In any case, Kagome starts asking Mikoto about the Witch who stole Iroha; Mikoto notes that this incident is being documented in her record as she speaks. Mikoto waffles a bit, but since her existence is contingent on Iroha's, she decides okay, fine, she'll help - but warns that even after she reveals the trick, this battle may still end in tragedy.

So as Mikoto explains, the mother Symbol Witch had fissions/alter egos scattered through history. As the time travelers gathered Iroha's concept, the Witch fissions were connected to the present as well, reuniting with the mother witch. Now the mother witch, fully souped-up, vies to overturn history, empowering her offshoot Witches in the past as well so that they can now kill magical girls all throughout history.

Mikoto explains that Iroha understands this, given the Symbol Witch is her parasite. Mikoto, also Iroha's parasite, was able to learn all this by proxy as well. Its nature as parasite also means that neither she nor Iroha can defeat it...so at last, she tells Kagome the secret...

Over with Yachiyo and Iroha, Yachiyo is on the verge of witching out. She's starting to understand why Mikoto opted for Operation: Fuck The World in the face of all these horrors...but only clings on by knowing that even Mikoto found hope for the future as well.
The pressure on them grows more and more unbearable, but Iroha refuses to surrender. All they can do is hope the megucas of history can defeat their share of the Witches, but things are getting desperate...

Back to Mikoto and Kagome, Mikoto reveals that the weak point of the Symbol Witch is engraved somewhere upon it. She explains that there were two Witches nommed by the Symbol Witch who were specifically out for vengeance against it - Tsuyu and Chizuru. Their curses are so strong that they've emblazoned their hated foe's weakness with a curse so that someone else may finally vanquish her. The Witches are long dead and formless, but their curse-- given the very nature of Witches-- remains carved deep...

We briefly cut to more historygucas - Heruka vies against her wish, vowing to defeat this source of strife, while Toyo struggles against it - if she can't beat it, she'll never get to become like Mama...

We get our final (for now) Symbol-chan POV - knowing how all this ends, she'd rather have the old days of struggling and starvation than this hell. She'd rather they all die of hunger, but loved and mourned by each other, than having kin slaying kin. She didn't want things to end like this... She should never have made this wish... She should never have longed for prosperity...

Yachiyo is about to witch out, and has just one favor to ask... Iroha freaks out, telling her to stop talking like that, don't talk like she's about to die! But Yachiyo says no - she's asking this so they don't die. That gets Iroha's attention. Yachiyo has hesitated to say this, but since it's all on the line now, she'll say it: If the Witch is connected to Iroha, can't they exploit that connection the other way around? If the Witch is stealing Iroha's power, can't Iroha steal the Witch's in turn? It's a massive risk...but it's all they got, especially since it looks like the historygucas need help. Iroha is game, and Yachiyo adds another mysterious request...

We cut to Amaryllis, fighting the Symbol Witch to ensure Pompeii's evacuation, when she suddenly feels a presence lending her strength... She hears Iroha's voice, who's assured that she's hooked up with all the historygucas now, and informs them all that she's giving them the power to break the curse walling off the road to tomorrow. She ensures them all that their stories do not end here - but also tells them that even if they win, there is much suffering to come. So in return for this power, she asks them just this one favor - that someday, they will each hear a legend saying, "Even if you're overwhelmed by despair, pray, and hope will be delivered to the future." She asks them to believe in this legend and do as it says - so that even if they lose to despair, their hope will be protected and overcome their fate, and will be taken to the future to come.

Kagome, sending Aru again, tells everyone to search for the Witch's weak point. Meanwhile, the main force notes that the Witch is acting unusual - even as their attacks lose effectiveness, the Witch also seems to be losing strength. Emiri, with her excellent intuition, says Iroha must be splitting from the Witch, but Nanaka and Hinano warn her that this may be a nasty trap. But Aru says not so - Iroha must be weakening the Witch, and they know its weak spot now! Mikage demands it, but Nayuta says they should first focus on wiping out the mobs while they're weak! They'll get the story when they advance to Iroha's location.

In the meantime, KMU makes it to the Witch's peak! Yachiyo and Iroha's presences are strongest here, though Yachiyo's magic seems weak... Aru pops in, shouting to attack the weak point ASAP to save Yachiyo! Aru can't say where exactly, but explains, as Mikoto did, that the weak spot is somewhere on the statue - they should sense for an area where they feel the signatures of Witches that aren't the Symbol Witch (implied to be the Yin-Yang mark). Tsuruno and Sana immediately realize that these Witches must be Tsuyu and Chizuru's. They're saddened for a moment, but quickly regain their fortitude, knowing that Tsuyu and Chizuru's final struggles will no longer be in vain.

The whole gang charges up for one big blast... As the main force finally downs their enemies and takes a breather, watching the fireworks from a distance. Aru explains that Iroha is traveling to the past to save the megucas as they struggle against the Witches; Shizuka worries for Ebony, as do PB for Olga and Gunhild, and Himena for Ammy. Just then, the final attack is launched...

...To absolutely no effect. Nothing. Not even a scratch. Kanagi concludes they're just not strong enough, just as Mifuyu remarks that the Witch is simply too powerful...

And that's not all: just after their failed attack...Yachiyo's magic vanishes. Her friends cry out in despair...

For the final (for now) node, Nayuta and Mikage, better late than never, join up with Lavi, Kagome, and Urara, along with the main force and KMU. The main force is dead silent in the wake of the failed assault. We transition to KMU, whose shock is disrupted when the whole army has to dive out of another deadly laser attack. The girls scramble for a solution; Momoko figures maybe the weak point is actually super tiny, and they have to hit it precisely... Yuna says they need time for a plan...just as Iroha gives them one.

Mikazuki cries out apologies for Iroha, thinking Yachiyo is dead, but Iroha assures them that Yachiyo is just fine - what's more, she's going to fight this Witch. Yachiyo's presence is gone because she was sent to the past in order to resolve this crisis.

Mikazuki instantly freaks out - Felicia and Sana yell that Yachiyo might be trying to take Iroha's place!! Momoko says that nearly happened already, if it weren't for Felicia stopping her! Felicia wonders if maybe her "real" purpose in remaining behind was to be the one to stop Yachiyo... But Iroha says not to worry - Yachiyo won't be replacing her. Instead, she's acting as her emissary - a messenger from the future who will save the world and all the lives within from this Labyrinth.

We see the first person Yachiyo visits...the one whose perspective we've gotten to know very well... Symbols-chan refuses Yachiyo's call at first, resigned to rot in the empty dark. But Yachiyo convinces her - while her hope ended in tragedy, it was still there. It was still real. It still mattered. The power of hope remains true, and can spark anew. So please, she implores Symbols-chan - entrust that hope to Yachiyo, and Yachiyo will ensure this does not all end in despair. It will form a miracle for the future, freeing it from suffering.

Symbols-chan comes around to this, but asks - how can she do that? Yachiyo simply says that when the time comes, to remember her, and Yachiyo will take her to the future.

Symbols asks just what Yachiyo is...? Yachiyo explains she is the emissary of the future, the inheritor of the history of Magical Girls - the Historia of the future.

As Yachiyo tells this story to Symbols-chan, it seems to cause a ripple effect in the future - the present-day megucas suddenly recall a fairy tale passed down through the ages, a legend of a hero who brings hope into the future. Iroha explains, it originates from a certain, small Magical Girl whom no one believed, who Yachiyo was able to resonate with - allowing this legend to be planted, and to grow with the ages.

With that, Yachiyo returns to the present, where the Mikazuki girls are overjoyed to see her again. Felicia thinks her outfit is super awesome, while Yachiyo feels like it's much too flashy, illustrating the two leading opinions on her design. More seriously, Yachiyo realizes that more magical girls gave her hope than she'd expected... When Touka and Nemu ask, Yachiyo explains she has the power of about 1,000 magical girls per millennium in the eras she traveled through - an enormous amount of strength that she will not squander.

Iroha says she and the historygucas will continue to keep the Witch and her offshoots in check. Now it's on the present-day megucas to blow up the weak point! As the Familiars and offshoot Witches swarm back into play, the main force regains their second wind, especially as Touka gets to work on converting the fallen enemies into power for the fighting force, now that she knows they can go all-out. The avengers all assemble (and I appreciate Nayuta and Lavi going into the battle together), and the final battle begins!

==Part Two==

Yachiyo finishes powering up her final attack on the Symbols Witch, reflecting on all the hope she's gathered - far more than she assumed she'd collect. It leaves her wondering if using their power as a bridge to the future will really be enough to repay them for all they've done and lost... Ultimately, knowing she cannot overturn the despair of the past, perhaps this can do at least something a little to save them.

She turns to the Symbol Witch, saying that the meguca legend they built together all began with her encounter with pre-Witch Symbol-chan. As a Witch, she has given in entirely to fear, feeling forced to create world where only she alone can prosper. But Yachiyo tells her that creating a world where Magical Girls can live happily is another form of prosperity - and with that, the hope Symbol-chan had given Yachiyo can be fulfilled. Telling the Witch that she no longer needs to taint her soul with despair, Yachiyo deals the final blow.

With that, Iroha feels the dark roots within her finally fading away, leaving just her and Mikoto, who dwells within her. Iroha apologizes for her failing to fulfill her promise at the end of Arc 2 - Iroha tried to save the megucas of the past as well as the present, but ultimately accomplished nothing but trouble. Mikoto expected as such; they'd established from the beginnign that they can't change the past. In the end, the hopes of the lost could only be a bridge to keep the future alive. Still, Mikoto does feel like they could've tried resisting, even slightly, from their inevitable fate... Frankly, she's not satisfied with this ending. But she does tell Iroha to give Yachiyo her thanks.

Iroha reappears in reality in her Infinite form, now that the Witch is slain, and she feels the APS back at work. Yachiyo has returned to normal as well, reiterating that her powers were borrowed from all the historic megucas she'd connected with - now that their mission is done, her ultra super powers are gone as well. They both check up on each other, and Iroha passes on Mikoto's thanks.

The rest of Mikazuki catch up, jubilant over everyone being safe and sound. And then everyone else catches up, notably less thrilled - Rena and the faction leaders unload with a lecture to Iroha for being so reckless with the APS, scolding her for even thinking of risking history by going back in time, while Yachiyo tries standing up for her, until Nemu and Touka step up to explain the truth.

They fully admit to taking advantage of Iroha's feelings, because they've seen with their own eyes how lonely and unhappy she was with the arrangements of the APS. As it was, it was a situation very similar to Madokami's, where Iroha and Ui sacrifice their freedom in exchange for saving the megucas. Touka and Nemu cooked up the Soul Vessel as a tool to help Iroha and Ui return to their normal lives, allowing them to physically leave the Magia Record while their Soul Gems to remain behind. From there, since Iroha's magic at the end of Arc 2 had shattered the concept of her and Ui's mortal existence, Touka and Nemu worked to reassemble the scattered fragments; once IroUi's concepts were restored, they would be recognized again and could go back to as things were.

Touka and Nemu knew that IroUi would object to this plan, so they had to do it in secret. In order to get IroUi out of the way, they sent them on a mission to travel through the eras to collect the records of the magical girls of yore. Ultimately, it was just a distraction for IroUi while TouNemu got to work, but Touka had made a grave miscalculation, resulting in the fiasco with Iroha's concept shattering in the past and getting entangled with the Symbol Witch, thus kicking off the Puella Historia arc, and the rest is history.

Upon hearing that, Yachiyo gives the gremlins a mighty slap across their faces. But she does know that all this was a accident born from their love for Iroha - and also knows that's not much of a comfort to everyone else hurt by their actions. Nemu apologizes on their behalf once more; Yachiyo says it all comes down to Iroha's condition.

In that case, Touka says, there's no problem at all. Thanks to Yachiyo and Iroha's final gambit, they finished off gathering all of Iroha's lost concept! The Mikazuki girls are alarmed - does that mean Iroha and Ui are coming back right now?! Touka quickly puts the kibosh on it, saying first, Iroha and the Hospital Trio need to return to the Eternal Sakura to verify some things - being too hasty about this will risk ruining the APS again.

Off to the side, we see reactions from the other girls - ShiguHagu marvel over TouNemu's brilliance, while Yuna and Hikaru feel bitter about how all the hardships they underwent have been swept aside, given it was all intended as a mere trifling distraction by TouNemu begin with... But Sunao and Charu are eager to see Iroha and Ui again, with Sunao looking forward to chatting Mr. Purrs-a-Lot with Ui. Asahi and Rabi hope that this final verification all goes right, and that they can see their friends again, and Momoko is excited to hang out again. Mitama says to Iroha that they're all waiting for her - while Kanagi adds that Yachiyo is the one who's most eager to do so.

Iroha turns straight to Yachiyo at this, but Yachiyo just says she'll wait and hope for Iroha's safe return. Iroha, too, can't wait to return to Mikazuki again. Promising they'll see each other again soon, Iroha leaves with Touka and Nemu, thanking the latter. Touka and Nemu know they've put Iroha through her paces - so to make up for it, they'll make sure this final step succeeds.

From here, things go a bit out of chronological order for narrative effect, so I'll sort them chronologically for easier summarizing. First, we get a quick narrative recap by Kagome of the arc - meguca fates inevitably end in sorrow for one reason or another; the Symbol Witch vied to make their fates even worse, until Yachiyo and Iroha wove a legend of hope into history and inspired a final miracle to save them all. Iroha vanished with TouNemu into the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, and everyone awaited what would happen next...

Outside the Eternal Sakura tree, Sakurako asks if it was really alright for Touka and Nemu to leave out the truth - that once Iroha and Ui leave, the APS will eventually grow unstable, and they won't be able to re-enter the Magia Record. Touka and Nemu say yes, they had to omit that from them -- otherwise, the sisters would never leave. While their earnest wish is to save Magical Girls, that wish is contingent on Iroha and Ui's happiness. So it doesn't matter if everyone hates them for this; they have no regrets about the risk they've taken. Everything they do, they do for Iroha and Ui's happiness.

Meanwhile, one ordinary slumber party at Mikazuki, there comes a knock on the door. They immediately realize it must be Iroha and Ui, and scramble at first - they gotta dress up something proper! But Yachiyo doesn't want to delay things any further. They open the door, and the long-lost friends joyfully greet each other.

Iroha and Yachiyo get settled down, with Yachiyo brewing some tea as the other girls make themselves presentable. Now that she's returned, Iroha knows that Mikazuki is truly her home. For a moment, however, she zones out - in her ears, she still faintly hears the voices of Magical Girls across the world, showing she's still bound to the Magia Record. Impurities are being collected by the APS, and all those who have been save move onward into the future. And now she and Ui are back in Mikazuki again, able to go into the future with all of their friends. She hopes she can have at least that for now.

Yachiyo returns with the tea and sees Iroha's mysterious look, and asks what's up. Iroha snaps out of it and tells her not to worry about it. For the first time in ages, she smiles at Yachiyo and tells her something like, "I look forward to working with you again!" Yachiyo chuckles at the sudden moment, but smiles back, and says "Yeah. Me too."

Magia Record Story Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be "Normal"

2023-09-12T13:38:04Z

Bigscarythings: /* Part 1 */ - some minor corrections

[[File:Mitsuri wants to be normal event.jpg|thumb|top]]
==Part 1==
We begin with Chapter 10, when [[Yuna]] and [[Juri]] bargain with [[Ao]] to enter her [[Kimochi]]verse. Yuna offers to go in with Juri and raise Ao from when she's a baby; if by the end of it all, Ao still believes her way is true and inevitable, then Yuna and Juri won't stop her. After a pause, Ao agrees to the bet, but also observes that Yuna and Juri will commit suicide if Ao doesn't allow this. Yuna simply says "Right." Okay, Ao says, but they have to stick to their promise that they'll give up on stopping her if she doesn't change her mind. That confirmed, she allows them into her heart, and time rewinds...

The event proper begins with Ao shredding [[Hikaru]] in a fighting game; Hikaru is a good sport about it and offers to play another. But no, Yuna says, Ao needs to do her homework first! Just then, Juri comes home too, thanking Yuna for preparing dinner even though they're both so busy with work. Juri spots Hikaru as they all sit down to eat - "Oh, Horse! Ya slipped in here again..."

As they eat, Yuna reflects - it's been ten years in the Kimochiverse. They just need to keep protecting her for four more years. While this setup is temporary, the life itself is very real, with all the trials and tribulations you'd expect. For example, dealing with an unemployed freeloader!

Juri groans about how exhausted the day has left her. Ao frets about how tough it is every day for her mom; Juri quickly stammers no, it's all good, ain't nothin' to worry about! She then ribs Hikaru about getting a job herself; Hikaru grumbles back. In narration, Yuna explains that Juri works in a vehicle repair shop; with an ongoing labor shortage, she's been working increasingly overtime. Today was the first day she's come home on a normal schedule.

Yuna, meanwhile, works in the city hall as the mayoral secretary. Given that her real-world dad is the Futatsugi mayor, it's a given she'd take up the career here. Still, as her career progressed, she became just as overworked as Juri. Even with Hikaru watching over Ao, their housework has been piling up...

Therefore, Yuna makes a family announcement: She will be hiring a housekeeper. She quickly explains her reasoning, and while Hikaru and Juri aren't quite convinced, they know the circumstances and agree to the plan. Ao is eager to meet someone new as well! So Yuna starts on the hunt and finds a candidate, and at the end of the episode, we're introduced to one [[Mitsuru Inami]]!

Everyone introduces themselves; Juri makes sure to clarify that Hikaru is just a neighbor, but Hikaru protests that she's practically family! Mitsuru responds with awkward, stiff formality; Yuna tells her to relax, though Juri is wary of how timid and weak this girl seems - not someone they can count on where it counts. Yuna snipes back that maybe she's just aware of all the pressure Juri's putting on; Juri protests she ain't doin' anything like that! But still, Yuna agrees somewhat to Juri's concerns, though she'll give Mitsuru a try nevertheless.

Mitsuru pipes up, handing over her resume and asking more about the job. Basically, Mitsuru will be focusing on housework while helping Hikaru with Ao on the side. Yuna figures they ought to start with a test run, and Mitsuru jumps up to sart with cleaning once Yuna fetches some tools. Mitsuru immediately turns competent and has the living room clean lickety-split, impressing the moms. In an aside, Juri figures Mitsuru's alright; Yuna agrees, and they leave the rest to Mitsuru. All that settled, Hikaru and Ao get ready for some fun and games...but Yuna snaps at them to do homework first! With that, another ordinary day in the [[Promised Blood]] household continues on its way...not knowing that their lives would soon be in turmoil.

A few days later, Juri comes home to find herself alone - Mitsuru's shopping, and Ao is at Hikaru's. Once she's sure she's alone...Juri pulls out a bag of cutesy sweets hidden in a closet! Juri explains that while working at the auto shop, the inflammable warning signs around the place remind of her youth, stressing herself out - but rather than venting her stress by brawling, nowadays, she takes her mind off things by eating cutesy sweets. That said, Ol' Juri the Great ain't the sort you'd expect to indulge in these kinds of treats, so she's self-conscious of eating them around the others... So of course, Mitsuru just has to enter the room as soon as Juri has a bite! Poor Juri chokes, but Mitsuru saves the day with a glass of water.

Recovered, Juri snaps out questions - how much had Mitsuru seen?! She'd seen Juri eat those cute, yummy candies... Juri threatens Mitsuru to not tell anyone! But when she sees Mitsuru shrink in fear, Juri realizes her temper and quietly asks Mitsuru to keep quiet about what she just saw. Mitsuru softly points out that it's not as though Juri has done anything wrong... Juri very politely asks "Will you please shut your trap?" and Mitsuru says yes, of course!

We jump forward to a month after Mitsuru was hired. This time, Hikaru's the one alone, with Yuna and Juri at work and Ao at school, and Mitsuru, again, shopping for dinner. That means it's Hikaru's turn to indulge! Her indulgence of choice is...her Yuna photo album, grown-up edition! She goes gaga for Yuna's classy adult charms, but is fully aware she can't do this in public - Yuna doesn't like it, and while Hikaru is being secret about it, she knows Yuna would still get mad even if it was all done in private. Still, Hikaru argues to herself that it's not so bad; this is fine art appreciation---! But her hand slips and all her photos are scattered all over the room. Mitsuru helps her gather them up, and Hikaru thanks her, and - wait, since when was Mitsuru here?!

Indeed, Mitsuru saw Hikaru looking at the album in enchantment, and hesitantly asks why there are only Yuna photos in there...? Hikaru, blustering, calls it a magic spell or a good luck charm - for family safety, prosperity, and good health above all! Mitsuru is confused, but she does agree to tell no one of what she saw here, begging Hikaru to *please* stop bowing, this is getting really awkward!

...But the secret doesn't stay hidden for long, 'cause that's the moment where Yuna, Juri, and Ao come home! Yuna instantly knows what's up, and Hikaru stammers she knows, she knows, she was trying to do tihs privately! Juri wryly asks if she *really* had to come to their house just to do this? Hikaru says she hides the album here, so yes, she couldn't help it! Juri has something to say about that, but Yuna's more concerned that Ao came across this... But in fact, it wasn't Ao who initially discovered it, but Mitsuru just so happened to be standing behind Hikaru, and...

That sounds awfully familiar to Juri - and Ao giggles, too. Yuna asks what Ao is hiding, and after more giggles, Ao eventually fesses up that Mitsuru caught her playing games instead of doing homework, so Ao asked her to keep it secret... Hikaru and Ao are really in the same boat! Juri confesses nothing but gets suspiciously antsy, asking if Mitsuru's the kind to go snooping for secrets... Say, where *did* Mitsuru go anyway?

None of them had noticed she'd left, but just as they all wonder, Mitsuru is there again! They all reel as Mitsuru apologizes. Yuna listens as Mitsuru explains this always happens - that's how she is, you see. A person who blends in perfectly into the background, someone utterly forgettable, with no presence at all - a person who's like nothing more than thin air...

The next day, while Ao is at school, Hikaru and the moms meet in a local park to talk about what's up with Mitsuru. She doesn't sit right with Yuna. Juri *almost* gives away that she's been caught by Mitsuru too, but manages to cover it up and save her pride at the last minute. But still, they must heed extreme caution - they're just a few years out from completing their gamble with Ao. They have to fight every day to ward off the Kimochi and keep things normal...and Mitsuru has shown herself to be a risk.

Yuna explains that they'll be meeting Mitsuru. Hikaru is startled - "Don't tell me that she's already here!" She shouldn't be, Yuna clarifies - she should be arriving shortly. Everyone's on edge, but Juri observes that while Mitsuru's ability to erase her presence is certainly something, if she actually had ill intent and was targeting Ao, why would she be so obvious about it? Whatever it is, Yuna says they'll need to take immedaite action if something is amiss. Hikaru wonders why they're not doing this at home, then...before realizing Yuna is anticipating a battle.

Hikaru voices discontent - and again, Mitsuru pops up just then! She apologizes for being late, but Yuna says no, she's right on time...and gets a strange feeling about Mitsuru. Perhaps she senses something familiar about her...

They get right down to business. Mitsuru insists she's not sneaking up on people on purpose! She explains that she has zero presence; no matter what she does, she just can't get people to notice she's there. She begs for another chance, saying she'll be more conscious of this from now on. Yuna tries to ask questions, but Mitsuru keeps on pleading and pleading and pleading; Juri and Hikaru note to themselves that she's suddenly become very strong-willed - just as they and Yuna feel the sharp presence of a Witch.

Mitsuru suddenly quiets down, mumbling...and then asks, is everything all cleared up now? Yuna tries speaking, but Mitsuru keeps going - well, she doesn't really know what to say, but she better get dinner ready, so is it okay if she leaves to do her shopping? After a pause, Yuna lets her go, apologizing for making her come out of her way like this. Mitsuru stammers out no, no, it's okay, and skitters away. The girls (well, women) figure it's better to get her out of range of the Witch...except the Witch's presence moves with Mitsuru.

It changes nothing. Their duty is to eliminate all anomalies from this world. The hunt begins.

They pursue the Witch into an alleyway and breach the Labyrinth, and there within is Mitsuru herself! She panics upon seeing them, freaking out that they won't think she's normal anymore! Yuna's like "huh? Normal?" and Mitsuru goes off in an explanation that starts off funny and then goes "oh no Mitsuru is not okay at all." where she's like "Well, this is just a normal everyday thing, you know? Witches run around and they make these places called Labyrinths, and they're *supposed* to attack muggles but this one's after me for some reason?" She transforms, continuing in the vein of, "And well, yes, you see, I'm a Magical Girl, and you might think that's not normal, but I've been doing this since I was a kid, so it's normal for me! So I'm normal!!! I'm completely 100% normal!!!!!"

That's when PB decides to transform, leaving poor Mitsuru screaming in shock. They agree to sort this mess out later, but for now, it's a fight! The Witch goes straight for Mitsuru, who easily deflects the attack...making it fly in PB's direction instead! Juri roars into a counterattack, thrilled to be in the heat of battle again, and the fight goes on...

Once the Witch is slain, it's time to hash things out. We learn that Mitsuru has always wanted to have "a normal life" ever since she was small, prompting her wish to Kyubey. Ever since then, she's lived the normal life she so desired, but has been forced to reconcile that with being a Magical Girl. Mitsuru lived on the run from Witches, managing to survive for years with no idea what her powers were - you see, when Witches targeted her, they somehow were defeated on their own, and she'd get the Grief Seed! Eventually, she came to understand the true nature of her magic, calling it "Unconscious Avoidance", a passive ability that automatically deflects attacks thrown her way. She apologizes for that attack being deflected into PB - she didn't mean it!

Mitsuru's MGS delves more into her backstory, but we get the gist of it here, that her mom was not a very good mom, forcing Mitsuru to be "normal" and not stick out. That's left Mitsuru in state of passive stillness - not too forward, not too behind; not to excel, and not to fail; to maintain moderation in absoltely all things...someone with as minimal a presence as possible.

Mitsuru beats up on herself, and Hikaru tries comforting her - "You're better than me! I don't even have a job!" "Nooo, I'm nothing more than a useless scab" "And I'm nothing more than a leech...!" Juri tells them to put a lid on the pity party, just as Yuna realizes something - has Mitsuru ever been in Futatsugi? The question throws off Mitsuru, but she says yes, she'd lived there for some time because of her parents' work...and then she comes to a realization too!

Juri's still confused. Yuna brings up the story of the Magical Girl ghost, and now Juri remembers - for some reason, in the gang war clashes way back then, people would be thrown down and knocked around for no reason at all. Those occurrences grew into an urban legend of a Magical Girl moving among them like a ghost, attacking from blind spots, even wrecking Juri... Was that Mitsuru?

Mitsuru's tried her best to suppress memories of that time, but yes, she remembers the whole thing, Torayamachi and Ryuukazaki - she apologizes again, saying she really didn't mean to do all that! Juri is pissed, swearing she'll make Mitsuru pay for her time, but after some words from Yuna, Juri groans and says it's all water under the bridge. But still, Yuna notes, how strange for them to meet again here...what exactly is going on with this world?

Mitsuru has no such doubts - if anything, this is heaven to her! To work in a household of magical girls means she really will have a completely normal life now!

But no, Yuna says - she's firing her.

Hikaru and Juri are surprised by this. Mitsuru is left in stunned silence. When Juri voices an objection, Yuna calls her out - wasn't Juri the one against this to begin with? Anyway, Yuna will explain things later, so just wait. Yuna is about to call Mitsuru's housekeeping agency, but Mitsuru pleads - wouldn't it be more convenient to have a meguca working for fellow megucas? As the trio walks away, abandoning Mitsuru in that alleyway, Mitsuru screams in their wake, imploring them all to reconsider - "I just want to live a normal life with you!"

Once alone, walking through their neighborhood in the setting light, after seeing how desperate Mitsuru was, Juri demands an explanation *now.* Yuna says alright, and has them all stop walking and face each other to ensure they all see behind each other, to be alert of Mitsuru's approach. Yuna says it's all quite simple - Mitsuru is dangerous to Ao. Ao comes first; with Mitsuru around, they won't know what to expect, and there's far too much that can go wrong. Well, why couldn't she just explain that, then? Because explanations lead to negotiations, and Yuna will not negotiate on this. Better to sever things immediately and without hesitation, and explain things to the agency instead. She repeats again that Ao takes first priority above all else.

Hikaru says yeah, that's true...but Ao was quite fond of Mitsuru. Indeed, once the family is home, we see Ao distraught and wailing when she learns Mitsuru won't be coming anymore, and refuses to calm down. Yuna leaves her to Juri and Ao as Yuna calls the agency ("Calm Help"). She asks to cancel her contract starting today, saying she was assigned Mitsuru Inami... The agency states that they cannot cancel any contracts with her. This is unheard of. Yuna asks why. The agency simply says they must continue with this contract going forward.

Yuna asks why again, and realizes the person on the other end of the line is Mitsuru herself. We cut over to Mitsuru standing out in their neighborhood in the dead of the night (maybe even right outside their house), as she explains that this is her company, and she's its only employee, hahaha...! So they'll have to continue with this contract, you see... Oh? Yuna doesn't want to? "I see... but... I'll be visiting you again tomorrow..."

With that, Mitsuru hangs up. Yuna realizes, with horror, that Mitsuru will be coming here again. And Yuna narrates, Mitsuru would live up to those words...

==Summary==
A magical girl gifted with talent for Spirit Arts. Called the "Child of the Cursed God" by those around her, she was shunned as a source of disaster. She has great respect for Himiko, the Queen of Yamatai, and devotes herself to training in Spirit Arts so that she can get closer to her. She is very fond of bamboo shoots.

===Doppel Description===
[[File:Doppel 105200 l.png|thumb|right|150px|Magatsumonoushi, Toyo's doppel]]
The Doppel of corrosion. Its form is a giant snake. The master of this emotion is tied down by the ideal image that she desperately attempts to reach, in order to become closer to the mother that she admires, and sees a reflection of this in her Doppel’s form. The Doppel grows from its master’s limbs and is entwined with her nervous system, thus robbing her of the ability to move. When it senses someone experiencing mental pressure with its keen sense of smell, it bites them and begins to corrode them with its venom. None can escape from the venom, but they will forever be free from the pressure that was upon them. Having thus witnessed the very destruction and slaughter that she abhors, its master becomes even more tightly bound by the curse that surrounds her, but the Doppel will never realize this.

==Etymology==
* The game spells it ''トヨ'', written in katakana. ト means "together" and ヨ means "dearest" or "understand".
*Toyo can be spelled two ways. The first way is 臺與, while the second way is 台与.
**Both of the first characters mean "pedestal" or "stand" (臺 and 台)
**Both of the second characters mean "give" or "provide" (與 and 与).
*Toyo was also known as Iyo, which can also be spelled two ways. The first way is 壹與, while the second way is 壱与.
** Both of the first characters mean "one" (壹 and 壱)
**Both of the second characters mean "give" or "provide" (與 and 与).

==Trivia==
* She is currently the only main Puella Historia character to be based on a [[wikipedia:Toyo_(queen)|real person]].
* Her name may alternatively be '''Iyo''', as both Toyo and Iyo are used when referring to Queen Toyo.
* She is the tenth playable character to lack a family name. The others being [[Lil' Kyubey]], [[Kuroe]], [[Chizuru]], [[Kuro (黒)]], [[Kuro (くろ)]], [[Ebony]], [[Olga]], [[Gunhild]] and [[Heruka]].
** Interestingly. there are little to no reliable records that give a family name for Toyo.
* She was thirteen when she rose to power.
* [[wikipedia:Himiko|Queen Himiko]], the queen who Toyo is the successor to, was also seen in [[Episode 12]] of the main anime with a palace burning around her. It is implied [[Ultimate Madoka]] saved her.
** This contradicts historical records, however. She died at 78 years old in real life.
* In her introduction at the end of [[The Rakshasi of Tibet]], she says "I am Himiko-sama's... what!?"
* Her artist is GAN, the illustrator of [[Suzune Magica]]. According to this [https://twitter.com/oshirase_gan/status/1672197718838775808 tweet], he was given more restrictive instructions by F4Samurai given the slightly suggestive nature of most of his designs.
** He also illustrated the design for Queen Himiko despite [https://twitter.com/oshirase_gan/status/1673236024510812161 no one asking him to]. f4samurai used his design for Queen Himiko anyways, adding only the veil that covers her face.
* Omononushi is a deity associated with Mount Miwa. An episode recorded in the Shoki concerning Emperor Yūryaku relates that the emperor, wishing to see the physical form of the god of Mount Miwa with his own eyes, commanded a retainer named Chiisakobe no Sugaru to fetch the deity. Sugaru went up the mountain and captured a large snake, which he presented to the emperor. However, as Yūryaku neglected to ritually purify himself beforehand, the serpent made thunderous noise (or summoned thunder) and its eyeballs flashed. The emperor fled for fear of the snake and ordered it to be returned to Mount Miwa.
** 'Magatsu' simply means 'calamity'.
*Her Doppel could also be based in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamata_no_Orochi Yamata no Orochi] or Orochi, an eight headed snake killed by the japanese god [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susanoo-no-Mikoto Susanoo].
**Despite being based on the Yamato no Orochi, Toyo's Doppel has thirteen snake heads instead of eight heads.
*The wording of her wish implies her mother was present when her wish was made. Whether this means her mother could see [[Kyubey]] is unknown.

==Summary==
A magical girl living in a nunnery in Tibet. After her hometown was burnt to the ground by the Mongolian army, she and her childhood friend Dolma took refuge in a nunnery.

===Doppel Description===
[[File:Doppel 105100 l.png|thumb|right|150px|Vimala Upadana, Heruka's doppel]]
The Doppel of zealotry. Its form is a sutra.
The master of this emotion has lost sight of herself during her efforts to save people, and heavily depends on the zealous faith she receives from those around her.
As if to embody its master’s obsession, her Doppel races across the land to bestow divine providence on those who seek salvation, thinking itself to be garbed in all the karmic fires of this world.
But far from being saved, those who witness its form have their eyes burned by its intense light, and are enveloped in flame. The Doppel believes this immolation to be true salvation, and its master’s obsession prevents her from looking back, so she carries yet more new karma upon coming to her senses.

==Summary==
A magical girl who is the younger sister of [[Olga]]. Although she is basically shy, she has intelligent, courageous, and has outstanding physical ability. On the other hand, she thinks that her life's purpose is to make her beloved sister happy, and plans to expand her power to make her sister's dream come true.

===Doppel Description===
[[File:Doppel 105000 l.png|thumb|right|150px|Blot, Gunhild's doppel]]
The Doppel of estrangement. Its form is a shipwreck.
The master of this emotion is suffering from significant mental imbalance, as the heart of her elder sister– raised together with her like two joined trees– has begun to drift away.
In response to the destructive impulses produced from this imbalance, her Doppel will brutally thrash and destroy anything and everything that approaches it.
Whenever it manifests, it ceaselessly rushes across the dark ocean in search of prey, until the deep, murky emotions comprising it are put at ease. However, no peaceful rest awaits it after doing so.

==Summary==
A magical girl who was the daughter of a tribal chief. Her family was destroyed by a faction of the Isvik, a settlement in the fjords, and she and her sister [[Gunhild]] were taken prisoner, but she remains cheerful and tries her best to encourage her sister.

===Doppel Description===
[[File:Doppel 104900 l.png|thumb|right|150px|Drekka Minni, Olga's doppel]]
The Doppel of loss. Its form is an empty ship.
The master of this emotion bears a hollow heart due to the loss of her younger sister, who was raised together with her like two joined trees. She wanders aimlessly in search of her missing other half.
Her Doppel thus carries its master on an endless journey, with a destination that both does and does not exist.
Only the master can board the ship. Should any others approach it, the surrounding waves will swiftly swallow their hearts, dooming them to merely follow in the Doppel’s wake like ghosts.

==Trivia==
* Her soul gem is shaped like the rune letter Laguz, which means lake, water.
* Olga's design may represent the future due to its design having futuristic elements such as holographic wings
* Olga and [[Gunhild]] both share similarities with [[Tart]] and [[Riz Hawkwood|Riz]]. Some being,

**Olga appears to lead this war, while Tart lead a war in her story.
**Both of the pairs have an affinity for light and dark.
**Both are illustrated by Masugitsune.
**Both of their stories take place in historical Europe.
* Her aesthetic could be a reference to [[wikipedia:Valkyrie|Valkyries]], warrior women who rode on horseback, a wolf or boar, and armed with a spear. They guided the souls of the dead to Odin's hall Vallhalla.
**In her five star art, she is seen riding a horse. This further references Valkyries.
* Drekka is an Icelandic and Old Norse verb meaning “to drink” or “to imbibe”. Minni, in both languages, means "memory", "recall", or "recollection".
** Together they can mean "to drink to the memory of someone".
**Her Doppel might also be based in the [[wikipedia:Naglfar|Naglfar]] or Naglfari, a ship made of nails which is said that would bring all the monsters to kill the gods during the Ragnarök.
* The memoria 'The World My Big Sister Sees' features art of [[wikipedia:Sleipnir|Sleipnir]], the eight-legged horse of Odin, as well as [[wikipedia:Fenrir|Fenrir]].

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who is into the latest fashion and make-up. Rika appears to be a typical girly girl, but she is actually very seriously in love. She has been secretly admiring the same person for years. A genuine person, she gets along with everyone.

===Doppel Description===
[[File:Doppel 303100 l.png|thumb|right|150px|Bella Donna, Rika's doppel]]
The Doppel of exposure. Its form is truth serum.
After learning the reality of how easily people’s hearts can change, the master of this emotion struggles with self-directed disgust at her own distrust towards others. With these feelings of its master’s in mind, her Doppel refuses to forgive others’ duplicity, and urges them to honestly speak their true thoughts to anyone and everyone.
It initially appears to be a beautiful seashell, but if someone rejects its admonitions or sees through to its interior, it will instead attempt to terrify them into honesty. If even this should fail, it will attempt to administer truth serum, but because its syringes are too large to do anything but fatally stab their targets, it hasn’t succeeded even once.

===Side Story===
Rika is invited to a blind date by [[Emiri Kisaki]]. Emiri brings along [[Hinano Miyako]], who just had her heart broken. During the blind date, the boys makes fun of Hinano's youthful appearance and odd speech patterns. Rika sticks up for Hinano, much to the latter's surprise. (It's also revealed Hinano is actually a third year high school student). After the blind date Rika leaves with Emiri and Hinano. Rika admits that like Hinano she also has a broken heart. Hinano realizes she didn't say anything about that and that Emiri told Rika. Hinano then yells at Emiri for telling people embarrassing things about herself. Emiri and Rika reassure Hinano, and Rika adds that Hinano is cool for being able to confess to her crush. In Rika's case, she never confessed and her crush already has someone.

Emiri then suggests that Rika should make a wish. Emiri reveals that herself and Hinano are magical girls, and that they get one wish. She also tells Rika that magical girls have to fight monsters, but brushes it off as a walk in a park. Rika wonders if this is some sort of game, while Hinano chastises Emiri for speaking about magical girls. Rika wonders if she could wish to change a person's feelings, to which Emiri agrees. Hinano warns Rika against becoming a magical girl, but after some prompting from Emiri, suggests that Rika should wish for something that seems impossible and also to think about the price. After Rika leaves Emiri and Hinano, [[Kyubey]] appears before her and offers her a contract. Rika thinks about what Hinano and Emiri said to her. She then flashes back to how her crush is dating someone. She elects to become a magical girl, mentally apologizing to Hinano.

Rika muses that her wish was granted and is going out with her crush. Yet she still feels unhappy. Kyubey appears and asks Rika if she can explain what's wrong. Rika admits that even though she's happy, every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens. Later, Rika fights a witch and meets two other magical girls [[Ria Ami]] and [[Manaka Kurumi]]. Ria initially thinks Rika has gone berserk, and tells Rika that her fighting style is both dangerous and inelegant. Manaka then points out that Ria didn't have an elegant fighting style either, to Ria's protests. Rika then compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights witches as a form of stress relief.

Later, Kyubey contacts Rika as she fights another witch and tells her that she's fighting dangerously. Rika is annoyed by this, but then sees Hinano is in the barrier. After the battle Rika praises Hinano, who is shocked to find Rika is a magical girl. Hinano also tells Rika her fighting style is too dangerous, and Rika explains again that it's stress relief. Hinano tells Rika to try something else, but Rika says she can't. Hinano then asks Rika why she's unhappy. Rika explains that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she thinks it's all fake. She says that if her crush only likes her because of a magical compulsion, then it might as well be a lie. Hinano then asks why Rika became a magical girl in the first place. Rika explains that if she didn't make a wish she would never have a chance in the first place. When Hinano asks for an explanation, Rika reveals that the person she likes is ''a girl''. Rika asks Hinano if what she said is gross and weird, but Hinano says it's not. Rika wonders how it was so easy to reveal this truth to Hinano.

Rika and Hinano fight together against a witch. Hinano says that Rika is still fighting dangerously, but Rika says she's planning to stop after this. Rika then explains she broke up with her crush. Hinano asks if it was because it was fake love. Rika says that was part of it. She said that for four years she loved her childhood friend, but she remained friends with her. When Kyubey came, Rika admits she should have rejected his contract. She explains that she accepted the contract because when she saw her childhood friend with her new boyfriend, Rika realized that she could never give her friend that same feelings that her boyfriend did. Rika then says that if she breaks up with her friend, then the boyfriend would have a chance.

Rika tells Hinano that her wish caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget about each other, as if they never met in the first place. Rika then explains how the boyfriend helped find Rika's lost ticket at a train station. When this happened, Rika realized the girl she likes and her boyfriend were perfect for each other. Rika explains that she's the one who broke them up, so breaking up with her girlfriend is a way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed that Rika had enough willpower to make that decision. Rika says there's one more thing she needs to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together plants the notebook of Rika's ex-girlfriend in the bag of her ex-boyfriend. They do the same with the boy's notebook and the girl's bag. Seeing the boy and girl meet each other again, Rika says everything is great.

Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and the boy were like the prince and princess of fairy tale, and therefore destined to be together. Rika isn't sure what that makes her, but then decides she's like her friend's love Cupid. Rika is surprised to see that Hinano is crying - unaware she's crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh again, but Hinano says that no-one could laugh at what happened. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her....but then says it's not that way, as Hinano isn't really her type. Rika then starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.

(Rika's story is continued in [[Ren Isuzu]]'s [[Ren_Isuzu#Side_Story|Side Story]].)

===Costume Stories===
====Winter Oufit====
Rika and Emiri arrive at the most popular buffet in town. Already there’s a large gathering of people waiting to be let inside. Seeing the huge crowds only gets the girls more fired up to get in and try all the delicious foods. Rika is a bit cold having to wait outside but Emiri assures her the weather will warm up soon enough and then they’ll be inside before they know it. Rika’s not worried and just thinking about it gets her all fired up again. Hinano and Ren watch as they’re friends keep chattering excitedly. Hinano asks Ren if they aren’t talking about the super-limited winter buffet but with words like “cray-cray” and “explode” mixed into their dialogue she’s not sure what they’re talking about. Ren isn’t so sure either.

Once inside Emiri and Rika flit from table to table drooling at all the delicious foods such as cheese fondue, chocolate fondue and all-you-can-eat crab legs. They continue their dialogue in nothing but heavy slang, with Hinano eventually telling them they should learn to speak with real words and not just made up ones. Rika asks if their language is that crazy while Emiri asks Ren (in heavy slang once more) if she can’t understand them just fine. Ren is momentarily taken aback and has to decipher her words for a minute before she can finally respond and tell them they’re a little hard to follow. Rika is surprised to hear this and agrees to try to tone it down a little. Emiri is also surprised and asks Hinano if she isn’t cray also (implying that the terminology that Hinano uses daily is equally hard to follow). Hinano defends herself saying it’s not “crazy” since they’re normal chemistry books. Rika and Emiri unwittingly slip back into their heavy slang as they talk about the books Hinano is always reading and how smart she must be to be able to understand them. Eventually Hinano gets so frustrated she tells them to stop calling everything crazy since it’s making her crazy trying to follow along. Rika explains that they use the word crazy in a good sense, not to be mean or anything. Hinano finally gets what they were trying to say and sighs. Ren is just glad everything been cleared up somewhat. As Emiri asks HInano to explain what was so frustrating to her, she catches a glimpse of the buffet’s specialty roast beef and immediately says the crazy is here. She and Rika gush over the food once more in heavy slang before rushing off to try some. Ren asks Hinano if she could understand what they were saying that time. Hinano tries to decipher it all but it only makes her feel dizzy and her head hurt. It gets so bad that, after a minute, the two start using the same heavy slang to describe how “crazy” her headache was and how “crazy” those conversations were earlier.

== Powers and Abilities==
Rika has gained the ability to change what her target is interested in as a result of her wish. This ability can be used to re-direct the attention of her enemies onto another person or object or to simply make others interested in her if she desires to get their attention. The limits of this ability aren't exactly known but it seems Rika is able to use this ability to keep any number of people interested with her at any one time.

Within combat, Rika possesses a magical compact mirror that can fire concentrated blasts of energy. She can do these as small energy balls or as a large concentrated beam during her Magia attack, though one can primarily say her primary form of offence is by manipulating amounts of light energy to harm her enemies.

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "a kind of Chinese traditional silk fabric,which normally has diagonal texture on" (綾) and "plain" (野) respectively.
* The characters of her first name mean "pear" (梨) and "flower" (花) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is [https://twitter.com/turu0923 Mashimasaki]
* The Japanese text on the back of the memoria "You Are The Only Truth" is written backwards, hence the backwards English translation.
**When it is flipped, it reads the following. "Even if the fake impersonates your voice, and talks in your words | I will never be misled nor trust it. | I will find the real you out and bring you back by any means. | Let's go back. To the peaceful world..."
* Rika is the first confirmed Magical Girl to have a crush on someone of the same gender.
* 'Bella Donna' means 'beautiful lady'. [[wikipedia:Atropa_belladonna|Atropa belladonna]] is a plant in the family of the nightshade that got its name from its use by women who would drip its sap into their eyes to enlarge their pupils and embellish themselves. However, the plant is poisonous and dripping its sap into one's eyes has the side effect of making one's vision blurry. The essence of this plant is still used, albeit in way smaller quantities, by optometrists.
* Ren and Rika have a medical theme within their doppels, with Ren's Electrocardiogram and Rika's syringes.
* Rika and [[Mel Anna]]'s doppels (and by extension, [[Etteilla]]) have similar natures. Whilst Mel's is Disclosure (開示), Rika's is Exposure (暴露).
* Both Rika and [[Riz Hawkwood in Magia Record|Riz Hawkwood]]'s doppels are based on Botticelli's [[Wikipedia: The Birth of Venus|The Birth of Venus]].

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who used to be dark and pessimistic but is now bright and optimistic thanks to her wish. Unlike her old self, she has a positive attitude no matter what happens. However, beneath that smile, she sometimes feels guilty about her new, fake outlook on life.

===Doppel Description===
[[File:Doppel 301900 l.png|thumb|right|150px|Gela, Ayaka's doppel]]
The Doppel of natural states. Its form is a bag of laughs.
The master of this emotion keeps her former, mild-mannered self hidden away in her heart.
Whenever this constantly-laughing Doppel encounters something inconvenient to it, it accumulates stress within its body. It then converts this stress into laughter, with which it blows away anything it doesn’t want to see. Since it’s constantly laughing no matter which direction it looks, its sources of stress must truly be myriad. Perhaps it’s put in a bad mood by everything it sees.
If it were to decide that the entire world should be laughed to smithereens, it’d be quite dangerous, but its master sleeps peacefully inside the bag as if none of it has anything to do with her.

===Side Story===
The story begins with Ayaka and [[Shizuku Hozumi]] fighting a witch. Shizuku says she'll attack the witch from behind. Ayaka says she'll leave it to her partner, prompting Shizuku to think they only just met. The witch launches a surprise attack on Ayaka, causing her to claim it's cheating. Shizuku thinks the witch is more powerful than it looks and they should retreat. Ayaka disagrees and says it's fine. When Shizuku asks if she has a better idea, Ayaka says she doesn't as she's not very smart. Shizuku splutters that Ayaka sounded so confident earlier. Ayaka says it's baseless, but she still thinks they can beat the witch. Shizuku remarks it's just a gut feeling. Ayaka says it's what her heart is saying and that Shizuku should leave it to her. She then charges at the witch.

The witch is defeated, and Shizuku that Ayaka somehow defeated it through sheer will power. Ayaka celebrates her victory by rambling about things like her "Positive Heart" and "Clean Hit". Shizuku thinks that Ayaka is keeping the conversation going by herself. Ayaka then suddenly asks what time it is. When Shizuku tells her it's almost five o'clock, Ayaka screams and says she won't make it to the "Needle Roller" live show. Shizuku thinks she's talking about a punk rock band. When Ayaka says she's been waiting two weeks to see the show, Shizuku asks her where it is and what time it starts.

Shizuku explains her innate magic to Ayaka: Spacial Binding, which links two spaces together. Ayaka says with a power like that, Shizuku can get away with oversleeping. Shizuku thinks she never thought about using it that way. Shizuku says they can make it to the show with time to spare. Ayaka is still freaking out and says the show starts in fifteen minutes. Shizuku uses her power, and in a bright flash of light the girls appear in front of "Figure Eight Hall". The time is 10 minutes until 5 o'clock. Ayaka is happy she wasn't late for the show. Shizuku tells her she should get going. Ayaka thanks her and leaves, but then suddenly comes back.

Ayaka says she wants to offer Shizuku her thanks, and reveals she has a second ticket to the show. Shizuku says she's not into punk, but Ayaka asks what she's talking about. Ayaka then enters the building and tells Shizuku to come along. It turns out that Needle Roller is a comedy duo. However, Ayaka is the only person laughing at their jokes. Afterward, Ayaka says she enjoyed the show, while Shizuku is just puzzled. Ayaka asks if Shizuku thought the show was funny.

Shizuku thinks it wasn't, but feels she can't lie when Ayaka was just trying to show her gratitude. Before Shizuku can answer, Ayaka says that she doesn't need to worry since everyone has a different "breaking point" for laughing. Ayaka then asks what Shizuku's name is, pointing out they forgot to introduce each other. The girls do so. Ayaka narrates that their laughter points are different, but Shizuku seems like a good kid.

The next day, Ayaka is still laughing about the show. Suddenly she sees Shizuku walking along the street. She calls out to her, but Shizuku doesn't notice. Suddenly she runs up to Shizuku, who is startled and says as much. Ayaka says she's the one who was startled since Shizuku didn't notice her. Shizuku apologizes, but Ayaka says she's supposed to snap at her (as if they were a comedy duo). Ayaka then says Shizuku was spacing out and asks her if something bad happened. Shizuku asks if Ayaka could tell by looking, Ayaka says Shizuku has a sad look on her face. She asks if some old guy has been bothering Shizuku, and asks if she can go after him. Shizuku says Ayaka's moving the conversation too fast.

Shizuku claims she has a trivial worry that should be forgotten when she becomes a magical girl. She explains that she feels anxious about the future, feeling like she doesn't have one or it's disappearing. Shizuku says that when she fights witches she can forget her worries, but afterward she goes back to being a regular schoolgirl, and the worries come back. Shizuku says it's not a big deal, but Ayaka says that being anxious and worried is a big deal. Shizuku is silent, and then thanks Ayaka,

Ayaka decides she's going to cheer Shizuku up by making her laugh real loud. She then gives her "full-power, one hit killer goof"...which consists of Ayaka saying "Sushi roll". When Shizuku doesn't react, Ayaka says she remembers that Shizuku has a different laughter point than most people. She then tries something more surrealist: Saying "Carp sushi". Shizuku thinks she is startled by how unfunny that was. Ayaka then tries another "gag". Five "Minute Years" later, Ayaka still tries to make Shizuku laugh. Shizuku thinks she needs to let Ayaka quit and decides to laugh at her next "joke".

Ayaka makes a (Japanese) pun about the proverb "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil", monkeys, and somehow adds a "boss monkey" at the end of it. Shizuku fakes laughter and says it's funny. Ayaka sees right through it and says her joke wasn't any good. Shizuku thinks she needs to practice smiling or laughing more. Ayaka says that Shizuku's laughing point is just too different. Shizuku thinks that as long as Ayaka isn't too down about it this all can finally end. Ayaka wonders if Shizuku just doesn't understand the structure of the jokes. She then goes on to explain the joke in detail, explaining how it was based off the proverb, the pun, and then since it's the end she added a "boss monkey" which makes it a repetition joke. At that, Shizuku suddenly breaks out into laughter.

Ayaka says there wasn't anything to laugh at, but Shizuku says it's because Ayaka launched into her explanation so seriously. Ayaka says that Shizuku's laughter point is too different, but as long as she got her to laugh, it's good enough. Shizuku says it was a long time since she laughed that much, and thanks Ayaka for cheering her up. When she says this, Ayaka narrates that she was reminded of "Yuu-chan", an old friend she was close with. Yuu-chan was always thanked by other people for cheering them up.

In a flashback, two students discuss how they feel Yuu is saving them by how brightly she shines. Yuu says they're exaggerating and she relies on them when she's feeling down herself. Yuu then notices Ayaka and asks her to come on over. Ayaka narrates that her and Yuu lived in the same neighborhood and were close friends since they were kids. Ayaka felt that Yuu was always smiling, and that the space around her was brighter because of it. Ayaka can't count the number of times that brightness helped her. She compares Yuu to the sun, always sparkling in the center of a crowd. Back in the present Shizuku and Ayaka bid each other goodbye. Ayaka thinks she was thanked just like her friend. She narrates that she's really changed into someone like the friend she admired.

Later, Shizuku invites Ayaka to her family's cafe. When Ayaka arrives she says "Welcome" as part of a joke. Shizuku welcomes her, prompting Ayaka to say Shizuku should have scolded her for saying welcome when she's the customer. Shizuku apologizes for not finishing the joke, though she can't imagine anyone could do so. Ayaka then brings a cream soda, which she claims was kicked out by overpopulation. Ayaka explains that coffee floats, cola floats and orange floats are called just that, but cream soda isn't a float even though it's also a drink topped with ice cream. Therefore, according to Ayaka, it got pushed out from overpopulation.

One of the customers gives an annoyed grunt at Ayaka's antics. Shizuku asks Ayaka to lower her voice. She explains her family runs a traditional coffee shop, and so most of her customers are older people and dislike loud noise. Ayaka says that if she starts yelling all of a sudden, the old customer might have a heart attack, prompting another annoyed grunt. Shizuku and Ayaka apologize, then Shizuku starts chuckling and tells Ayaka to use her indoor voice. Ayaka sayays she isn't sure how to do that, and Shizuku tells her not to overthink it.

Shizuku then admits she's jealous of Ayaka. Ayaka asks if she wants to make old men angry too, but Shizuku explains of how Ayaka is always endlessly bright, so much that she draws other people into it. Shizuku calls it a power to get tangled up with other people. She then tells Ayaka she thinks she's amazing. Ayaka is silent for a moment, and then says she's not someone worth praising like that. She says she doesn't deserve to have people jealous of her or say she's amazing. Shizuku says it isn't like Ayaka to say such pessimistic things. Ayaka is about to explain, but then catches sight of the other customers. Shizuku asks Ayaka to wait a minute for her to clean up. She explains her mother will be coming back soon, and asks Ayaka if she can wait outside.

The girls then head to a park, where Ayaka explains her story. Before she became a magical girl, she wasn't such a bright person. In fact, she was Yuu's total opposite, even though they got along really well. However, because they were so different, other girls talked about them behind their back. They called Ayaka dull, or Yuu's shadow character. In a flashback, Ayaka hears these things before Yuu arrives and says she's making a gloomy face again. Yuu offers to listen if Ayaka has something wrong. Ayaka apologizes, but Yuu says that Ayaka cheers her up when she's down so they're even.

However, Ayaka can't accept that they're even, as she's always getting cheered up by Yuu. She knows the other schoolgirls didn't have ill intentions, but when they said she was nothing like Yuu, Ayaka wondered how she could change to be more like her. This feeling grew over time. And then one day, she was attacked by a witch and met [[Kyubey]]. Since a witch was attacking her, Ayaka had no choice but to be a magical girl. Thinking of Yuu, and that she was going to be a magical girl anyway, she wished to be a bright person, just like her friend.

Back in the present, Ayaka says that sometimes she annoys people by being noisy, sometimes she says silly things and then laughs, and sometimes she's thanked for cheering people up. She claims that none of those things are the real her. Ayaka says she's happy just when people feel better, but when Shizuku praised her she started to feel guilty. Ayaka says she's just a cheap imitation of her friend, and therefore shouldn't take all the praise and gratitude she gets. Shizuku is silent for a moment, and then brings up one of the performers from Needle Roller. She explains she heard that performer is a very quiet person in private.

Ayaka is shocked, since the performer always tells his jokes loudly. Shizuku says the performer wanted to change his shy self to achieve his profession. Ayaka says she didn't know that. Shizuku asked if Ayaka is now disappointed in the performer. Ayaka says she isn't, because it doesn't matter what the performer is like off-stage, and the happiness she gets from watching him isn't fake. Shizuku explains that whatever a person does, they never stop being themselves. She claims that just like the performer, Ayaka changed because she wanted to. She then asks for the name of Ayaka's friend. Ayaka says she calls her Yuu-chan, and Shizuku says it's the first time hearing that name. Shizuku doesn't know who Yuu is, and it wasn't Yuu who encouraged her - it was Ayaka.

Ayaka thanks Shizuku, who chuckles. Ayaka says that right now she is her true self. She thanks Shizuku for cheering her up. Shizuku thinks that Ayaka cheered her up more. As thanks, Ayaka gives her another ticket to a Needle Roller show. Ayaka explains she applied for two tickets because she didn't want to miss out on getting one. She says she was surprised she got both tickets and assumes they had some left over for some reason. Shizuku thinks she knows what the reason is - the implication being that the group isn't popular enough to sell out their shows.

Ayaka invites Shizuku to the show, but Shizuku says she has to pass. Ayaka says that Shizuku has to be a fan of Needle Roller if she knew so much about the performer. Shizuku thinks that the show was so unfunny that she looked up the performer just to find why he even became a performer in the first place. Before Shizuku answers, Ayaka says it's decided and that the show will be at five o'clock. Shizuku guesses it will be fine. Ayaka narrates that she won't lose to anyone when it comes to brightness.

===Costume Stories===
====Halloween Costume====
Ayaka is meeting up with her friend Shizuku at a local café. Shizuku shows her the photo of the costumes she picked out for her manzai event and Ayaka can’t get enough of them. She thinks they’re perfect and wants to make a costume for Shizuku as thanks. Shizuku knows how Ayaka can get so she doesn’t want to give a half-assed answer and end up in something ridiculously flashy, so she asks for something low-key with a pocket for her wallet. Ayaka thinks for a moment then points to the costume that Mami is wearing in the photo. When Shizuku asks why that one, Ayaka says the red won’t stand out to much (in her mind neon pink and metallic silver are considered flashy) plus she can pull the hood over her head to keep attention away. And last of all, the picnic basket that goes with the costume would be perfect for her wallet. Shizuku has her doubts since the big basket would leave a lot of empty space, but Ayaka brushes her concerns aside. Apparently the staff for the event will be giving out sweets so Shizuku can help participate in that way. Knowing she’s lost the battle, Shizuku is just glad that the outfit is cute enough and tells Ayaka thank you.

The day of the event arrives and Ayaka puts on her big event with Ryo and Ikumi making it to the show. Ayaka asks if they enjoyed the show as Ikumi politely tells her they did. Ryo asks if she can get their picture and both Shizuku and Ayaka pose for the shot. Ryo says she doesn’t know anything about comedy, but she does know the two of them have very happy faces.

==Powers and Abilities==
{{stub}}

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "ball" (毬) and "child"(子), respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is "[https://www.mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=20100 Afro]", who also drew [[Puella Magi Homura Tamura]].
* Ayaka's Halloween outfit is the same as the one Sayaka wears in this promotional [[:File:Holy_quintet_halloween_3.png|image]].
* [[Wikipedia:Manzai|Manzai]] is a traditional stand-up comedy act involving a duo: a tsukkomi (straight man) and boke (funny man). They tell jokes that involve misunderstandings, puns, and other odd gags. This comedy style is embodied with Ayaka and [[Shizuku Hozumi]].
*Her Doppel's name, Gela, is a Greek word that may come from the verb geláō ([https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B3%CE%B5%CE%BB%CE%AC%CF%89 γελάω]), meaning "I/to smile/laugh or deride" or "to cheat, trick, deceive".
* Both her and her partner Shizuku Hozumi both have Doppels with wind-themed attacks.

==Observations==
* Her weapon appears to be a mallet hammer, or a toy hammer to be precise, this may reflect her playful and fun personality per her wish.
* Her magical girl outfit and transformation resemble that of a magician, most notably the top hat and how she appears out of nowhere from a present box.
** Although one could say she also resembles a circus ringmaster due to her colourful outfit and smart outfit.
* Ayaka's doppel resembles a bag of wind, which is a phrase for an empty, voluble, pretentious talker, something Ayaka is known for being
* Ayaka's doppel, Gela, resembles a stereotypical jester due to its cap 'n' bells and collar.
**It could also resemble a [[wikipedia:Whoopie Cushion|Whoopie Cushion]], a well-known gag toy that uses air to make comedic sound effects.
** Additionally, her doppel wears two masks which may represent the dual masks ''Melpomene'' (representing tragedy) and ''Thalia'' (representing comedy). Putting these together, in addition to her jester motif, represent the theatre as a whole.
*Ayaka's soul gem is shaped like a 4 pointed star, symbolizing good luck in a career.
**Typically before performances, people wish the performer good luck. This may be eluded in her Soul Gem's shape.

==Summary==
A magical girl born into a family loyal to the Pharaohs. From an early age, she was sworn to obedience to the dynasty and forced by the adults to enter into a magical girl contract. She secretly wonders if she was really born just to serve the Pharaohs.

===Doppel Description===
[[File:Ebony_Doppel.png|thumb|right|150px|Apebis, Ebony's doppel]]
The Doppel of skepticism. Its form is a vulture. From the moment that the master of this emotion was born, she has been forced into a life of servitude to the Pharaohs. But upon realizing that other ways of life exist, she was wracked with conflict. This Doppel continually emits fluctuations in response to that conflict, and creates doubt in the hearts of those around it as it propagates the fluctuations with its wingbeats. These doubts quickly balloon into various opposing poles– joy and sorrow, hope and resignation, veneration and contempt– thus calling forth further chaos. As this chaos reaches its breaking point and overflows, it drags everything down with it into transience and uncertainty.

==Etymology==
* 'Ebony' denotes wood of trees of the ''Diospyros'' family. The word comes from the Ancient Egyptian ''hbny''.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is "Punyan"
* Due to the fact that Egypt was controlled by a Greek kingdom during the time period of her event, there is speculation that her family may be Greek instead of Egyptian.
* She is the sixth playable character to lack a family name, after [[Lil' Kyubey]], [[Kuroe]], [[Chizuru]], [[Kuro (黒)]] and [[Kuro (くろ)]].
* Ebony's design seems to be heavily themed around Egyptian deities.
** Her magical girl outfit resembles some of the clothing worn by Egyptian deities.
** Her Soul Gem is based on [[Wikipedia:Scarab (artifact)|Scarab artifacts]], a symbol common in Egyptian mythology, that is said to represent the god [[wikipedia:Khepri|Khepri]]. Here, her Soul Gem takes the place of the ball (sun) the scarab holds.
** Her head-dress being a peacock, is said to reference the sun god [[wikipedia:Ra|Ra]] and is also associate with the Eye of Horus. Despite her wearing several sun symbols, she is a Dark-type.
** The name of her Connect references [[wikipedia:Bennu|Bennu]], an Egyptian god linked with the Sun, creation, and rebirth.
** Her Magia name references [[wikipedia:Horus|Horus]], the most significant god of the Egyptian pantheon and the god of kingship and the sky
* Her Doppel's name, Apebis, is a combination of ''[[Wikipedia:Apeba|Apeba]]'' (a genus of longhorn beetles, referencing scarabs and Khepri) and [[wikipedia:Anubis|Anubis]] (the Egyptian god of mummification that takes the form of a jackal).
**Despite its name being associated with beetles and jackals, the Doppel itself takes the form of a vulture. Vultures, being carrion birds, are also associated with death. The Egyptian goddess [[Wikipedia:Nekhbet|Nekhbet]], who took the form of a vulture, was a patron goddess of the city Nekheb who ultimately became the patron of Upper Egypt, and then one of two patrons for the entirety of Egypt once it was unified. In ancient Egypt, [[Wikipedia:Vulture crown|vulture crowns]] were protective symbols of the goddess worn by high ranking priestesses, the [[Wikipedia:Great Royal Wife|Great Royal Wives]], and female pharaohs.

==Summary==

===Doppel Description===

===Side Story===

As Madoka begins her summer vacation on an oceanside resort (heavily implied to be in Okinawa), she reflects on a mission her mother has tasked her with: to do something on this trip she can only do now. When she'd asked her mom where to start, her mom suggested she start by getting a new swimsuit, and to take things from there, which has led Madoka to this resort with her Mitakihara friends.

She leaves the hotel to meet them, spotting an old woman's hat blowing into the sea. Madoka transforms into her swimsuit form so she can quickly rescue the hat; thankfully, the granny didn't see the whole thing and just assumes Madoka had her swimsuit on beneath her clothes, which makes Madoka's life much easier. The granny remarks that she was gifted that hat by her daughter, "Himari," and warmly thanks Madoka for her kindness before going her own separate way. Madoka is chuffed by her good deed, then runs off to find her friends.

Once together, Nagisa wants to dive right into the ocean; Mami says "After we do our warm-ups!" Meanwhile, with everyone in their swimsuit forms, Kyoko challenges Sayaka to a swimming race. Sayaka wonders since when Kyoko got so good at swimming; Kyoko explains how Coordination gives her that skill in this form (and Sayaka grumbles that "You really need to be able to swim on your own, though..."). Above the squabbling, though, Madoka and Homura decide to float in the water together and enjoy a day of contentment.

After they swim, Nagisa's next mission is to make a giant sandcastle, insisting she builds it on a spot on the beach with a perfect view...and the perfect place for the castle to get swept away by waves, Kyoko warns. But Nagisa wants to do it anyway, so they all help her make it - and, of course, it's destroyed in the end. Nagisa is crushed, but Mami assures her they can make it again later.

From here, everyone splits into new activities - Homura and Sayaka are off to hunt for souvenirs, Kyoko's heading to the arcade, and Mami and Nagisa are going out for ice cream. Madoka goes alone for a walk on the beach, mulling her mother's words and struggling over what to do. So caught up in her reverie, she whams straight into a woman holding a camera. After apologizing, it comes out eventually that the woman is a professional photographer, Madoka's hairstyle in this form is just like how the photographer used to do her own hair. And that brings them to the photographer's purpose: to reminiscence about the good old days, which prompts Madoka to talk with her about what her mom asked her to do.

Hearing the whole story, the photographer agrees that Madoka needs to enjoy her days to the fullest so she can live without regrets, and explains that often, you don't realize the things "you can only do now" until the time has already passed, long after you did those things or didn't. Still, Madoka flounders without a specific direction...so the photographer says she knows of one thing that can only be done in this region: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barringtonia_racemosa observe a night-blooming barringtonia plant.] [https://teisan-shima-life.com/en/sagaribana-2/ Every year, these flowers bloom for just a fleeting moment in time.] Madoka expects finding such an extraordinary plant will be hard task, but the photographer says not so - the resort hosts an event called the "Memory Photo Rally;" those who complete it get tickets to a free tour showing off these barringtonias. That's part of why the photographer has her camera, in fact (her career specialization is in plant photography) - and Madoka decides she'll get her friends to join the hunt, too. With the time for Madoka to meet up with them again coming up, she bids farewell to the photographer and runs off to start convincing them.

Once together, Madoka explains the premise to everyone: running under a time limit, they all take group photos at every checkpoint listedo n a flyer, which gives only hints and sample photos of where each location is. The girls are all for it; they were just debating about what they'd do next. But Homura points out they'd best hurry - the deadline for the hunt is this evening, and a lot of people are participating.

Luckily, the first checkpoint is one they recognize - it's where they built Nagisa's sandcastle! The girls feel more heartened that they can complete the quest, and hurry to their first stop. Fortunately, Mami was prudent enough to bring a selfie stick, and gets to snapping photos of them all at the destination.

One by one, they check off each location. Eventually, though, Nagisa gets antsy to play at the beach more, and Homura is getting overheated, too, so they take a break for shaved ice. Sayaka has to break it to Nagisa that shaved ice shops don't serve cheese on ice, and the poor thing is crestfallen.

Feeling refreshed, they complete more of their journey, leaving just a sunflower field for last - but the girls have no luck in finding it, and the deadline is looming nigh. The girls decide to split into teams of two and scatter. The teams, decided by rock-paper-scissors, are Mami and Kyoko, Nagisa and Homura, and Sayaka and Madoka. After more scouring, the last pair find the sunflower field hidden behind an old lighthouse, and bask in triumph. As they wait to meet with the others, Madoka spots the photographer taking photos, and runs off to thank her for suggesting the rally.

Madoka and the photographer play catchup; the photographer needs just one more photo to get her ticket, but wants to linger here for a little while longer - because this place has her most cherished memories of an old friend - but Madoka silently observes that, for cherished memories, the woman looks so sad...

The photographer explains that one summer, and one summer only, as a little girl, she'd met another girl here. The two were kindred spirits, with both loving plants in equal measure. They spent their days on the island searching for all the flowers they could find. On her last day of vacation, the photographer and the friend promised they would meet one last time to visit a special hidden location they both loved together. But then, the day before their appointment, being the kids they are, they got into a petty squabble, and her friend never showed up at the meeting place the next day.

The photographer and her family returned for vacation the next year, where she learned the terrible, awful truth: her friend was dead. Her friend wasn't on vacation like the photographer was led to believe, but had actually lived on the island in a sanatorium. The friend had been very ill, and was moved to a big hospital at the end of the prior summer, where she passed away. Ever since then, for every day of her life, the photographer has lived with regret over how their friendship ended.

So often, the photographer has to go abroad for work, and hasn't visited nor will be able to return to the island for a long time. She came this year as one last hurrah - because while this is a place of bitter memories, it's also a place with sweet ones, too, and both are important to her. Madoka absorbs this story in silence as the photographer expresses hope that Madoka leaves this island with only good memories. And Madoka says she's well on her way with that one, thanks to the photo rally the photographer suggested. The photographer reminds Madoka to find those things she can only do now - and speak of the devil, she gets a call from Sayaka saying the others are starting to convene on the sunflower field, and they're getting ready to take that photo together, so Madoka runs back to find them.

Once Madoka arrives, she finds that while Kyoko and Mami are there, Homura and Nagisa have gotten lost on their way to the lighthouse. While they all fret over whether to go ahead without the pair or not, Homura and Nagisa find someone to help guide them: the granny whose hat Madoka rescued that morning! The favor repaid, they all take the photo they need. Homura is excited to see the night-blooming flowers, and Madoka, too, can't wait for nightfall.

That night, however, due to an incoming storm, the barringtonia tour has been cancelled. Lots of tourists are disappointed and grumbling, and the girls feel dejected, too, but it is what it is. In want of someething to do, Sayaka says the resort provides free games to play, and the other girls are game for a pajama party night. Homura says they ought to make the best of what they have, after all. Before that, though, Madoka spots the photographer in the crowd and goes to talk to her, where they both express their sadness over the canceled tour...but Madoka says they've found a way to make this night a great memory, too. The photographer smiles and chuckles at this, and then asks if Madoka and her friends would be available the next morning. The photographer explains there's a place she wants to show them, but the time isn't right just yet. She informs that they'll all need their swimsuits, too, but Madoka and company are more than ready for that, and Madoka goes to tell her friends about it.

[[File:Memoria_1795.jpg|500px|thumb|right]]

The next morning, the girls meet with the photographer, who guides them to a far-off, secret place. Once they weave their way there, they're met with the sight of many flowers floating in the waters. They are the blossoms of the same night-blooming flowers the tour was going to show them. At the end of the night, these flowers fall into the water and float to this location. The girls take in the stunning sight, hardly able to speak, until Nagisa pipes up that she wants to take this home with her, and Kyoko says that you can't take sights home!

Still, Madoka kneels by the flowers in the water to admire them closely. The photographer asks to take a photo of her, and it's revealed that this was the special place the photographer and her old friend had wanted to meet for their last day together. The photographer mentions her friend was named Himari...and Madoka remembers where she heard that name from - she's the daughter of the old lady who had lost her hat! And just like that, the pieces fall into place, Madoka knows now that there's something she can only do here and now...

With her friends' help, Madoka finds the hat granny, and inquires about Himari. The granny reiterates that Himari was her daughter ,and that the granny came here, in fact, in hopes of finding a place that Himari had been eager to visit with her friend...and Madoka introduces her to that very same friend. The two women have a heartfelt moment together, about how in the end, Himari had only wanted to see her best friend again. She had wanted that to her very last breath, for now and forever.

In return, the photographer offers to take the granny to their sanctum, and expresses regrets over the stupid fight they'd had that had ripped their friendship apart. The granny, hearing this, is astonished, saying it wasn't an argument that tore them apart - Himari had never mentioned such a thing. Really, that very day, Himari's condition went sharply downhill. After moving to the hospital, the granny feels that Himari felt too ashamed to explain her condition to her friend - and perhaps simply didn't want to bring herself to say a final farewell.

The photographer breaks down in tears over this - the tragedy, the catharsis - and the granny asks that the photographer no longer holds this against herself, to let go of this burden. They both thank Madoka for helping them meet, and for giving them both salvation.

[[Magia_Record_Story_Seven-Coloured_Summer_Pattern_~Daily_Lives_Written_in_a_Notebook~#Madoka|The girls spend the remaining days of their vacation having fun,]] until the day of their departure arrives. Madoka's friends run off to play the morning away, while Madoka spots the photographer one last time. The photographer managed to finish developing the photo she'd taken of Madoka at the flower pond, and hands it over. Has Madoka found the thing she can only do now, she asks? Absolutely, Madoka says - she's had so much fun with her friends, has seen many gorgeous sights, and met the granny and photographer, too, all of them precious and irreplaceable memories. But the thing she could only do here, of course, was to unite the granny and photographer and bring closure to what happened with Himari. It's a beautiful coincedence, the photographer remarks - that everyone instrumental to this meeting all happened to convene in the same place this summer. The photographer thanks Madoka again for a wonderful and special summer. Madoka says likewise - and thinks someday, she'll come back here just like the photographer to look back on the past.

Madoka's friends call out to her - doesn't she want to swim before time runs out?! The photographer tells Madoka to get going, and so the latter does, ready to enjoy the day with her friends, wondering what thoughts and feelings she'll have as an adult when she comes back here again.

Bigscarythings: Added summary of Part 1 and Madoka's node in Part 2, courtesy of MochiDDR, plus links to branches currently uploaded to Youtube

==Summary==
''The following is a summary by MochiDDR.''
===Introduction===

Kagome is organizing notes from what everyone was doing this summer so she can take a break from all the notes about the war.

===Part 1===

====Kuroe & Iroha====

Mitama of course offering more swimsuit adjustments for her summer campaign. Kuroe can't stop thinking about Iroha, so her outfit ended up with little similarities to Iroha's.

Kuroe is working at the beach to help with SUP lessons, meets Mikazuki Villa, brat crew, Mifuyu, and Sakurako in her pso swimsuit.

An announcement says a big white dog named Summer is lost at the beach and if found to notify the lost children center. Immediately after Felicia is announced lost as well. Immediately after THAT, a 3rd announcement that Touka is lost - except Touka grabs the mic and yells where the heck is Mifuyu!? Yachiyo and Mifuyu both go running to the lost center.

Everyone is here today to take SUP lessons, which Kuroe is helping with.

Nemu is doing wheelchair SUP boarding with the help of the instructor who is watching them. Sakurako is also there to do the carrying and assisting.

Touka and Felicia get into a fight over Kuroe, both wanting her to teach them how to do things.
Felicia wants to do tandem boarding, Touka wants to do everything, Yachiyo wants to do SUP yoga, Tsuruno wants to race and be the best boarder of them all, Sana wants to do boarding with a dog, but might have to settle with Mokyu. Tsuruno points out it might be weird to onlookers to see an empty paddle board moving around in the water.

Kuroe wonders how tf Iroha keeps up with all these people daily.

Kuroe and Iroha go out boarding together peacefully, until Tsuruno and Felicia fly on by showing off. Iroha wants to go jump to Felicia's board, but Tsuruno warns her that Felicia spun it out while Sana was on. Kuroe keeps thinking how nice everyone gets along, notes the flower they both have on their swimsuits is anemone.

Kuroe falls into the ocean after a big wave hits her, but she can't swim...! Iroha jumps in after her despite warning. Good thing the water was shallow enough that Kuroe can just stand up. But where Iroha jumped in isn't, so she starts drowning. Kuroe grabs her but gets pulled in with her. Tsuruno points out its still shallow water, so her and Felicia go in after them.

Everything turns out fine, but Tsuruno and Felicia were scared they could have drowned by panicking. Kuroe and Iroha share an awkward moment of not being able to say anything, until Touka screams at her to come over.

Touka asked her if there's any boards with a jet engine, generally running her around bugging her. By the time Kuroe gets away, Iroha is missing, and no one knows where she went. They split up into groups to look for her while the life guards and other adults investigate.

Every speculates Iroha went over to the small mystery island they saw earlier to find the lost dog. It has a hidden path that shows when the tide gets low, so kids leave shells behind to mark the path. Mifuyu and Ui are going to go with Kuroe in case there's a witch, and they'll deal with being yelled at by adults later if they find out. Kuroe finds the flowers that were on Iroha's swimsuit, figuring she did take that path to the island.

On the island, Kuroe recognizes Iroha's sandal prints in the ground due to her gushing over Iroha the entire time they were in close proximity. She hopes to herself that Ui doesn't think she's creepy. Next they find a trail of petals, just like Iroha mentioned earlier so she can Hansel and Gretel her way back if she's lost.

They hear a doggo and find Iroha, whose phone of course died and she can't leave because she can't swim over the sunken trail.

After Iroha explains her story and apologizes profusely. Kuroe tells her she's a great person, always putting herself in danger for the sake of others no matter how foolish it is. Iroha tells her she's always being called stubborn, but she can't help but try to save people right in front of her, or else she feels regret in knowing she did nothing.

With the tide down, they start walking back across the trail. Mifuyu called Yachiyo and is behind with Ui while the dog runs around. Iroha picks up some shells to give to the others, but slips and then falls into the water, drowning again.

Kuroe thinks back to what Iroha told her and dives in after her. She knows Iroha would have jumped right in if Kuroe fell, so she finds the courage to try to be a little like her.

They make it to the surface, and Mifuyu and Ui form a chain to pull them up without falling in themselves. Mikazuki come running to the rescue as the crazy dog makes a run for the beach. Touka, Nemu, and Sakurako are at the shore with towels, oxygen tanks, and first aid kits at the ready.

Ui, Kuroe, and Iroha fall into the sand, exhausted from the little adventure. Iroha apologizes again, but Kuroe says Iroha helped her a lot too. Ui says it's weird, she feels so relieved, but exhausted. Iroha says they all do, but to her it's the feeling of being alive. Kuroe agrees, alive haha...

A life guard scolds Mifuyu and Yachiyo for going to the island and potentially having people drown. He also tells Kuroe that jumping in to save someone like that wasn't the smart thing to do. He tells them all he's done, and is glad they're all okay. He offers to have them come to their beach BBQ and rest.

Felicia now loves Kuroe, for both saving Iroha and for the meats. Kuroe tells her no, it's everyone else who did all the work, so Felicia says alright, I'm the best then! Yachiyo thanks her for saving Iroha, Nemu is impressed by their bravery, but Touka and Sakurako are mad at Iroha for making them worry. The dog did get back to its owner though, so her mission was a success.

Tsuruno declares Kuroe and Iroha the MVPs of the day, and... Felicia says she is, and Touka says she did her best too, so everyone is the MVP! They all cheer and enjoy their meals.

A few days later, Kuroe sees Mitama again with a burning question. She explains that the adjustment must have also made her feel more like Iroha on top of the similar swimsuit, since she's never been brave or able to swim that deep before. Mitama tells her she didn't do anything like that during the adjustments, though. She teases that it might have been a life or death feat of strength, or perhaps Kuroe-chan's unique magic instead.

Outside, Kuroe reflects that maybe she's become a little more like Iroha, and had so much fun despite the pain and sunburn. She seems to want to have another vacation like this again. Iroha texts her, thanking her again for everything and saying she would like to play with her again some time. She will send all the photos everyone took. Kuroe texts her back, saying thanks, and yeah, she'll come play again.

====Promised Blood====

Promised Blood have taken a trip to Yuna's (?) vacation home / a villa, but Hikaru and Ao plopped in front of the AC instead of going out to enjoy the summer. Shortly after Yuna took them out to a waterfall to splash around while they wait for Juri and everyone else. Yuna then has to leave to go get everyone instead of switching to her swimsuit. Juri has summer classes, Sakuya is at her club, Urara has something personal to take care of, and Ranka is doing school work.

Everyone arrives at the river by the station. They decide to go walk to the villa instead of calling her to come meet them. Juri calls Yuna, but can't hear anything she says due to them being at the base of a waterfall. All Juri hears is Yuna say be careful, but not the part about Yuna never having walked there herself. Yuna naturally is worried if they'll be okay.

Yuna can't help but worry, so she goes to talk to the villa's manager for directions by foot. She tells Ao and Hikaru to call if anything happens, but as she leaves they realize they both left their phones at the villa.

PB squad walk through a trail, wondering if there's any beetles to catch. They stumble upon a campsite people are using when Yuna calls Juri and sends directions to her. However, the road they have to take is closed due to a landslide. Juri takes off in a random direction while Sakuya runs after her and tells Urara to call Yuna back. Yuna sends Urara new directions and tells her to save it. Juri and Ranka are happy as can be exploring like kids, but Juri is disappointed when Urara runs up to them with new directions.

Yuna keeps calling over and over like a worried mother, interrupting the adventure every 5 steps, with Juri and everyone looking more and more sad with each call. They keep missing every landmark and make no progress getting to the villa. Ao and Hikaru end up splashing Yuna, causing her to drop the phone into the water. Juri got cut off mid call and can't get through to her. The squad all realize they can't reach any of the 3 at the villa now, but they still have directions at least.

They arrive at another road, also closed due to construction. Then a guy stops them on another trail that's closed due to a small fire. They wonder if something is stopping them from ever reaching the villa, or if this is all pure coincidence.

Finally they arrive at a conbini and decide to buy some drinks. They spot a flyer on the wall for a campground sponsored treasure hunt orienteering event for kids. Juri wants to enter while Sakuya and Urara protest. Juri calls Ranka out for not being confident, so Ranka joins her in wanting to enter the event. Juri and Ranka take off, leaving Sakuya and Urara behind.

Turns out Yuna's phone wasn't waterproof, as Ao and Hikaru apologize to her. Ao offers her phone, so Yuna goes to the villa to get it, along with water guns and floaties for them to play with. Sakuya and Urara give up on trying to call, so they decide to head to the villa without the kids. Juri and Ranka, meanwhile, are exploring a cave, thinking it's like a dungeon in an RPG. Sakuya and Urara come across another camp, with a lost little girl.

Juri and Ranka find the coveted treasure chest, only to find it just has flying discs with the campgrounds logo on them inside. They laugh it off and head outside, only to find they took a wrong turn. Juri completely forgot they were here to go to Yuna's villa, but she somehow forgot the directions she was told. She figured Urara would take care of it. Ranka starts worrying and Juri gets mad that she was expected to handle this. Until suddenly they hear a loud buzzing noise coming their way...

Yuna returns with a pile of goodies for Ao and Hikaru to play with, and Ao unlocks her phone for Yuna to use. Sakurara reunite the lost girl with her parents, but they took a wrong way again. They go ask a staff member, who tells them they're really far away from the address, and there's no transportation services out here, so they have to walk. Urara thinks they must be cursed. Juri Ranka encounter a huge wasp that chases them away.

Sakurara reach a fork in the road. Their app says go right, but with everything that's happened so far, they're not so sure about that. They get a call from Yuna, who finds out they're close by through the GPS. Sakuya says according to their app they're still far away though. Urara realizes she must have messed up writing down the address. Yuna tells them she's on her way to get them. Juri and Ranka are still running from the wasp.

Sakuya and Urara are now at the villa enjoying cold drinks with the others. Yuna is about to call Juri when she hears Juri yelling out in the woods "Damn, you're persistent!! Shall I make ya well-done!?" Ranka yells that she can't, as that'll cause a forest fire. They run into the party and dive into the water. Juri grabs Yuna and tells her to dive too. Everyone starts panicking over the wasp they brought with them. Juri tells Urara and Sakuya to get in too, but Yuna tells them to just calm down and don't move. The wasp immediately leaves.

Juri and Ranka are relieved to be rid of it, but Yuna tells them it wasn't a wasp, but a carpenter bee. Urara knows that those are gentle bees that only look like wasps. Yuna follows up telling Juri that running away makes you an enemy to them. But enough about that, Yuna wants to hear the rest of what Juri should be saying. Juri says sorry, but now that they're like this anyway, might as well just play in their clothes. She yanks Urara and Sakuya into the water with them. Yuna has some choice words to say, but for now she wants everyone to just enjoy their vacation.

====Azalea Sisters====

Ayame hands Konoha a schedule of what she's going to do over summer vacation, but it's all plans to play, except for Tuesday which is scheduled to be at Felicia's house with Felicia, Sana, and Kako to do their homework. Mama Konoha doesn't think Ayame will spend much time studying that day, but decides to trust her for now. Ayame also just put "going out with Felicia on Friday", but doesn't say where.

Hazuki then hands her schedule over too, which has almost no mention of playing. Konoha is worried that Hazuki isn't making friends at school since she's always so busy. Konoha is out of tea, so Hazuki heads out to the store before it closes.

Outside, Hazuki finds a witch and handles it just fine on her own, saving a girl from her class before Konoha and Ayame even show up. The girl wakes up and notices Hazuki immediately, who is still transformed. Hazuki stutters that it's cosplay. The girl then asks her if she wants to go to Kamiket with her on friday.

That friday, Hazuki is in her transformed outfit at Kamiket with her schoolmate. She spots someone dressed as Mocha Rabbit by a crowd. She wonders how someone can wear a huge outfit like that on a hot day. Her classmate says her cosplay is awesome, wondering if it's from smartphone game. She says she's also a closet otaku like Hazuki. Hazuki unfortunately has no idea what any of this is. Anime, or something? She's just lying to hide what her outfit actually is. She hasn't even told her sisters what she's doing today.

Ayame is suddenly heard yelling to Felicia to slow down. She tells Felicia that she lied on her schedule, so her family has no idea she's here today. Felicia doesn't want Yachiyo knowing, because she'd never hear the end of her complaining about only kids going here. They both form a pact to never tell their parents about their adventure today.

Hazuki's classmate has a fancy camera and is now snapping pics of Hazuki's cosplay. A crowd starts forming around them, also asking to take pics. Hazuki reluctantly lets them, all the while keeping an eye on Ayame, hoping they're too busy to notice her.

Ayame already saw Hazuki, though, and is wondering why she's here, since she doesn't seem the type to enjoy Kamiket. She thinks Hazuki knew all along and is taking pics as proof she lied. She wonders if she should tell Felicia, but she thinks she'll take all her lunch as punishment. She tells Felicia to start heading to the Decagon Ball area.

Hazuki knows Ayame loves Decagon Ball, so she wants to avoid it, but her classmate starts dragging her there to see a favorite cosplayer. More back and forth shifty eyes between Ayame and Hazuki. Classmate finds the cosplayer as Celery this time (Decagon Ball, so a food related character name obviously), who has a perfectly recreated giant tail that absorbed the Green Beans one by one in the show (Cell? lol).

Classmate drags Hazuki towards Celery, but Ayame is panicking since Felicia is checking out the very same cosplayer. Hazuki tries to talk her way out, but Classmate wants the two together for a photo shoot. But suddenly Ayame and Felicia are gone? All that's left is the woman known as the Celery cosplayer? They take a photo together, and the woman asks why "you two" are hiding behind my tail? Felicia asks what the hell is Ayame doing. Ayame says ohh just wanted to see the tail up close. The stealth mission continues...

Hazuki notices the Mocha Rabbit cosplayer acting strange. She goes over to ask if she's okay. The rabbit can't find her friends, and while they do have a catalog of the place, she can't turn the pages with their giant stuffed rabbit hands, plus she can barely see out the suit. Hazuki asks her to just take the suit off, but the cosplayer can't be doing that and ruining the Mocha illusion. So The duo offer to take the Mocha to her friends, but Mocha wants to go to where they're selling a book called "The Secret of Moo Moo Farm".

Classmate has to go run off and get in line, so Hazuki and Mocha are chatting. Hazuki confides that she doesn't really get any of this convention stuff, but her classmate thought she was into cosplay so she's going with it for today. She also says that she kept this a secret from her family, but her sister is actually here too somewhere. They make it to the area Mocha wanted, so Hazuki is about to relax, but...

Felicia of course loves Moo Moo Farm. She spots a book on how to enjoy the farm 200%, filled with factoids even she didn't know! Hazuki takes cover behind Mocha Rabbit. Ayame and Felicia are hungry, so they head to the north exit where tables are set up, conveniently in the direction of that Mocha Rabbit. Ayame spots Hazuki nervously hiding behind the rabbit while Felicia is humming and skipping along. Ayame has to bribe Felicia to take the south exit with a piece of her fried chicken...

Mocha takes off towards her friends who are running off somewhere, and Classmate returns with what she wanted to buy. She wants to go the opposite direction of where the kids went, so Hazuki sighs in relief. Unfortunately, the area is closed off due to a person violently attacking a famous doujin author earlier. Someone in the crowd says they heard some young girls (Rui and Seira shown) took care of it.

They get directions to turn around and go back the way Ayame was, of course. Ayame and Felicia end up at a dead end and naturally have to turn around as well. Both groups are on a collision course with no signs of stopping. Hazuki and Ayame lock eyes as they're both dragged onward towards embarrassment. Felicia stops and notices Ayame isn't looking good at all. Hazuki also stops, saying she can't do this anymore. She wonders if this is the end.

Suddenly Mocha Rabbit appears, and a heavy burst of fog fills the convention, blinding everyone. Both sides take off, and can no longer see each other when the fog clears. Ayame and Felicia had fun and want to go again. Hazuki finally got to untransform, and did enjoy herself, despite everything.

Inside the changing room, Mocha Rabbit finally gets to take off her giant stuffed suit, revealing Konoha! She noticed Ayame acting strange and even found Hazuki here, with neither wanting to be found out. She even had to use fog magic to save them from meeting. Hazuki may have a busy, blunt schedule, but she at least still has fun as an ordinary middle school girl.

====Team Nanaka====

Kako has always looked forward to summer vacation throughout her life. They've taken a trip to a place called Toukan Village out in the sticks, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The team are out walking about, looking at dozens of beetles. Kako trips over a tree root and panics over falling into beetles. Next they head to a river and splash about. Finally, they head to a shop and enjoy some ramune. They share their nostalgia, wishing summer vacation would never end. Kako asks them what they'd feel if summer really did never end. Akira and Meiyui both shout it would be the best!

That evening, Akira and Meiyui are thinking they're not going to make it in time for "that". They giggle at Kako who doesn't know what "that" is. She wonders where Nanaka went, but A and M say Ougama-sama must have gotten her. Kako slowly turns around she hears someone approaching her from behind, and just then a bright light flashes.

Nanaka wakes Kako up, telling her it's morning. She was sweating in her sleep. Kako looks and feels horrible, noting that she's now at the inn, and everyone is here like nothing happened. Nanaka tells her to stay at the inn today. Akira tells her that's a waste; she had more fun stuff planned for today. Kako asks her what day it is today. Everyone tell her in unison that it's August 62.

Kako explains that summer never ends in this village, and that everyone refuses to believe August should be over by now. No one panics or anything. They just enjoy their summer vacation in the village. When she first got to the village she had sensed a witch, but then Ougama-sama came to get them. Since then, everyone forgot about the witch and endlessly play.

She hears a wind chime that Nanaka brought with her. Earlier, Nanaka asked her to put magic in it as a charm to ward off evil. She wanted to bring more, but figured it would be too noisy. Nanaka had expected that if something were to happen to them, only Kako would be able to get them out by defeating the witch.

If only this were just a dream. Her soul gem is blackening, so she remembers when she spoke to everyone earlier about it. Kako noticed back then that their soul gems were getting worse just by being in the village, but they were all dead set on staying there for fun the entire month.

Unfortunately, Kako can't convince anyone to leave her alone, so they drag her out to the river to play again today. She told herself no fun, yet here she is in her swimsuit shooting Meiyui with a water gun. Nanaka wants everyone to leave early today before Ougama-sama shows up. Kako is certain this "person" is the witch who trapped them. She gets anyone who stays outside the inn in the evenings.

Nanaka interrupts Kako's internal pep-talk to tell her she heard that Ougama-sama hates summerisms...like the wind chime that's enchanted to protect Kako right now? And that swimsuit she's wearing too.

That evening, Kako brings up the courage to confront Ougama-sama in her swimsuit, ready to duke it out. Unfortunately, she feels herself fade away, and awakens at the inn with Nanaka waking her up again. She asks everyone if there's a way to leave the village, but they reply in unison that they're here to play all August. And so it is August 63, and summer vacation continues as a single wind chime is heard...

Today they're at a lighthouse. It's amazing that there's an ocean in the middle of the mountains...wait, that's complete nonsense. Kako is once again the only one phased by things, while everyone else wants to explore the lighthouse. Kako is startled by Nanaka staying behind, who wanted to tell Kako another thing she heard about Ougama-sama since she seemed so interested the day before. It turns out Ougama-sama hates watermelons.

That evening, Kako carries a huge watermelon with her to the middle of the village. She senses the witch approaching and transforms, though scared, and asks Ougama-sama if she'd like to split this watermelon, but...she wakes up the next day.

August 64: shaved ice vs. witch. Failed.
August 65: sparklers vs. witch. Failed.
August 66: wind chimes vs. witch. She sounds them out, but Ougama doesn't show up. Instead, Paola (water witch) shows up, and Nanaka suddenly shows up slicing at it, finally getting to see who the witch really is. Nanaka pulls Kako away from the witch to explain things to her while hiding.

Since the beginning, Nanaka wasn't actually trapped. She was pretending to so she could investigate the witch without drawing suspicion. Kako realizes Nanaka kept feeding her those rumors so she would attempt to draw the witch out. So far, it seems attacks against the witch don't work, but wind chimes seem to, so Nanaka made Kako experiment with various summer activities, no matter how embarrassing it was for her. In the end, it seems magical resonance is what is effective, so Kako figures they need more wind chimes. Nanaka says no, what they need is this massive electromagnetic radar that she points to. EHHHH!?

Nanaka has been planning to use this radar for some time, so Kako doesn't need to worry. Paola suddenly shows up and sets the radar on fire immediately. They get knocked into the woods and manage to escape, but now they're without a plan again. Kako offers to use the wind chime more, but they'd need one the size of the radar dish to work. Wait, a giant wind chime...?

Paola chases after them, but Kako takes the lead now, taking them to a shrine. She plans to use the bonshou / giant bell here to take the witch out. Only problem is, is this a shrine with a bonshou? They figure it's just a normal shrine, but Paola catches up to them again. Just before she can finish them off, Akira and Meiyui arrive and attack the witch. They regained their senses while the witch was distracted it seems, though they have no memory of losing it to begin with. Meiyui jokes that Akira and fighting are inseparable.

Nanaka now has a plan, and leaves Akira and Meiyui to keeping the witch at bay. While this Shinto shrine may not have a huge bell to ring, it does have a smaller suzu bell. While it may not work and feels like they're asking the gods for help, Kako assures her that their team always has luck on their side. Kako puts her magic into the bell, and it begins changing the whole village...into the witch's barrier. The witch's illusion over the entire village is broken, leaving it vulnerable.

Kako realizes all her nostalgia and feelings for summer were all dreams caused by the witch barrier over the village, created solely to drain their magic slowly. There's no shrine now, but the wind chime still exists since it was brought from outside. Kako begins putting magic into the chime while Akira makes an attack, but the witch still doesn't take damage.

Suddenly they're all back in the village again, the witch trying to force them into dreams once more. Akira starts drifting off but recovers, Nanaka is getting an idea of what the witch is trying. She turns to Kako, who is also drifting off into dreaming. The two have a back and forth of Kako feeling inferior and Nanaka sympathizing with her. She ends with asking what Kako wants: a nice dream with no future, or the hard reality that has a future.

In the end, Kako decides she wants to wake up from this dream and let summer vacation end. All that's left is the summer heat, and just a tinge of loneliness. Nanaka comes to get Kako, who was sitting alone. She tells Kako that Autumn has its good points too, and that Akira and Meiyui are waiting for her. Now that summer vacation has ended, Kako may still have all of her anxiety, but she will continue to live life to the fullest.

====Neo Magius====

At the community center, Miyuri is glued to her phone playing Little Vacation for the nostalgia. She explains the details of what it is to Himena. She sees Miyu's AI is with AI San, and they're both heading to the junk city. Miyu tells her she loves watching AI San-sama's legs the whole time. Himena LOLs and tells her she's max impurity.

San and the rest of the VIPs enter the room, ready to begin their meeting, and Miyu quickly hides her phone. Mitsune catches her doing so, but Miyu quickly tells her she absolutely didn't just hide virtual legs or anything of the sort! San is like virtual...what?

Meanwhile in Little Vacation, Tsuruno and Felicia AI go through the motions of the ending of Angels on the Road. Instead, however, we continue through the perspective of Shigure and Hagumu AI. Shigu still can't see anything through the telescope today. She checks every night for any sign of the two because they promised everything would be okay and they would show them shooting stars from the other world.

With the meeting now over, Miyu has a question to ask everyone: is there anyone who hasn't finished their summer vacation school projects yet? Hime and Shigu haven't, so Sasha teases them for being such terrible middle schoolers. Miyu offers the idea of everyone going stargazing for one night at camp, since they'll be busy with NeoMagi work later. Hime wants to see Orihime and Hiko on the moon boat, not for Tanabata since it's already passed, but for the lunar calendar version. Hiko has to correct her on the details, and she gets pouty.

San and Sasha are a bit worried about doing this, while Mitsune asks Miyu if she wanted to suggest this for a reason. Miyu says she wanted to catch a shooting star, as in film one. Only problem is there's no meteor shower, so it's all a game of chance looking for them for one night. Miyu then has a revelation while thinking back to her game: she can just ask Santa-san for a present in advance!

Himena and Shigure are all on board with the idea, asking Miyu is she's okay using her yearly present on this, shocking San. Miyu says she'll go ask her father when she gets home to relay the message to Santa-san, which Sasha finds adorable. San, Sasha, and Hagumu all telepathically talk about why they're encouraging this (except San). San asks Mitsune, and Mitsune replies "hm? you talking about the santa claus organization? it's a long story lol."

Himena is going to handle the campsite equipment and tents, Miyuri is going to get a telescope and video equipment from her astronomy club at school, and Shigu is going to research how best to film the stars. Sasha asks San if she's not going to say anything. San says they can do whatever they like, as failing is a part of research projects.

Back in Junk City, it has started snowing. Shigu wants to use bots (the mail carrier uwasa) to fix the dome over the city, something she learned she could do recently. Shigure keeps looking up at the sky, but she doesn't want to go to their world, she wants to learn about it, why their creators created this world, why they created them, and why they abandoned them. While the creators never answered their voices, Shigu has found a new goal: she wants to make their world a better place, so she's not going to stare up at the sky anymore.

Now Little Vacation has a water park, and what is known as "summer" inside of the dome. Shigure has figured out how to work the bots in the world enough to change the climate at this point. Her and Hagumu get into the water, but then it suddenly starts raining. Shigu realizes she made a mistake with the weather, and goes off to fix it.

At the campsite, it is also raining over their parade. Miyu is screaming why is this happening!? Miyu begged Santa-san for an early present, so why's it raining!? Mitsune jokes that she should've asked the organization if getting an advance on her present is even allowed in the first place. San tells Mitsune that's not the lesson she should be giving her. Himena tells them to get inside and wait it out until night. San is disappointed to hear Miyu imply that her project is relying entirely on luck and Santa-san.

At Crescent House, Ui is in the lab reading a popular manga about an astronomy club that is trying to catch a shooting star on video. Nemu has read the original novel it's based on, and Touka is mad she's the one out of the loop. Touka then explains about filming shooting stars and how satellites can look like shooting stars too. Nemu points out that Ui's way of calling it stardust is a much nicer than Touka's calling it manmade space debris and meteorites. Touka mentions there's websites where you can view public data on incoming debris so you can almost accurately depict when and where you can see a shooting star.

Tsuruno and Felicia AI hear that over the interwebs. Tsurubot wants to get that data so they can catch a shooting star.

Now night at the campsite, all the clouds are gone, leaving a perfectly starry sky. Shigure is shocked, as the chance of rain was at 80% for tonight. Miyu thanks Santa-san for letting her win the weather gacha. The team rush all the equipment out of the tent and shut their lights off. Miyu's phone is already connected to the telescope, but she then gets a text message moments before filming.

She's utterly shocked, as the message is from...Santa's reindeer, delivering a shooting star present to them! It says to point the telescope at the Milky Way lovers! Miyu shows the message to Himena - it's really a message from Santa-san! She then shows it to Hagu and Shigu, who see the message, but also a strange flash of two girls on it for a second. They both wonder if that was Santa-san. San wonders aloud who that message could be from, and Mitsune says "It's obvious, isn't it LOL? An agent at the organization..."

Suddenly a shower of shooting stars cross Orihime and Hikoboshi, and Miyuri catches it all on video. Himena says it looks like a bridge across the Milky Way. Miyu is overjoyed and thanks Santa-san for everything.

Tsuruno and Felicia AI collect all the smile energy into their pack, with Felicia noting something sparkly got caught in it. It's a little bit of the shooting stars the girls caught! And now they can fulfill their promise.

Touka now understands that the reindeer santas escaped into the sea of the internet, and caught a shooting star via video data. She gets a message from the server, saying "EMERGENCY ALERT Emergency notification to world administrator" Touka realizes those two are trying to break into the Little Vacation server, trying to give that shooting star data to someone inside the server. She wonders if imitating Santa-san is fun, and has no idea what the AI could be thinking given that they develop and change so rapidly.

She thinks back to when her papa would act as a substitute Santa-san, when he would tell her that one day she'll realize that it's better to give gifts than to receive them. She nyaas that she still doesn't understand.

In Little Vacation, live from Pirate Radio Central, there's an important message for the two girls hanging out in the pool: there's an unusual signal coming from the wishing star! Shigu and Hagu AI look up, and see their present from the reindeer santas...! Hagumu is tearing up, glad that they made it to the other side.

Shigure says it's their turn now. She created a little summer for Hagumun and came to realize that it's better to create a world for others than to be given one. Rather, she's happier to give a present than to receive one.

The next day, Miyu is as happy as can be with how the video turned out, so she's back to relaxing with her game. She looks at the game, sees what has happened, and runs straight to San-sama, saying something crazy happened! Virtual Miyabi and Virtual Azumi - their legs! - they have swimsuits with...bare legs...! San shakes her head, wondering what Miyu's even talking about.

====Masara & Kokoro====

Kokoro goes to the beach one day with Masara. She says it's so bright out, and Masara makes her laugh by mentioning the sun is strongest during the solstice in June. They overhear a tournament beginning their girl's division preliminaries for beach kickbase, a game that is like a combination of soccer and baseball.

A team of girls from Masara's swim team are worried that they can't find replacements since two of their teammates couldn't fly in due to bad wind. While MasaKoko were just going to watch, the team end up asking if they would be willing to join. Kokoro said they should both join, so Masara agrees. And thus their "hot" summer began.

They meet with the team's coach, do some light exercises and practice, and then their first mach begins. Kokoro scores a hit so Masara can run home, winning the game. The team can no go to the finals in 10 days, so they all thank their senpais for the winning hit. Next they go out to scout their rivals, who have won 6 years in a row, and Kokoro tells us that this isn't the end of the story of their involvement. They watch the opposing team win a game 10 to 0 in the 2nd inning of 5. The girls look demoralized, but their coach says if they want to win it's through them. Ashley walks on by and comments that they're playing something interesting looking.

The next day MasaKoko see Natsuki at the park, watching the team they helped yesterday practicing hard. Kokoro says that this meeting was a total coincidence. Masara tells the team they should be resting after their previous match, but they're too caught up on wanting to practice for the finals. Natsuki at least loves the enthusiasm.

Kokoro asks them why they're trying so hard to win. One girl says if they do win, the coach will do them one favor, so while they haven't told the coach yet, they will request that she get back into playing. Not back into beach kickbase, but baseball, as she was a member of the Japanese women's baseball world cup.

The news shocks everyone, especially Natsuki. She knows exactly who this woman is, the position she played, and that she retired this year. Her father was even an Olympic medalist, and she kept playing all her life to dedicate a gold medal to her late father. Women's baseball doesn't get official recognition in the Olympics, however, so their team disbanded and she retired. There is the world cup, but it's not the same.

Kokoro knows that Natsuki also quit baseball and started up cheerleading, and though she is hyped about cheerleading, she laughs and says she still carry some regret over baseball. Kokoro wonders how the coach feels now that she's working for something that isn't baseball.

And so a girl asks MasaKoko if they would join again for the finals and ensure they get the coach back into playing. Natsuki tells them if they do, she'll be there to help them practice too, though she won't be able to see them at the finals. Kokoro agrees, and Masara frowns, knowing she'd say that. Natsuki cheers in the hellishly intense training, and Kokoro is like "did she just say hellish...?"

That evening, Natsuki throws one final ball and calls the training over for today. MasaKoko are beat, shocked at how demonic Natsuki is at sports, though they have improved. On their way home, they spot the coach staring at the Japanese national team's uniform on display at a sporting store with a frown on her face.

As each day passes, they team becomes better and better. And then the day of the tournament arrives. First is the semifinals, which they don't have to play the super team in, but this team is still 7-0. They look scary too, but the team has been training hard and feel like they can win now. Sparing describing the game, they win 6-3.

Next is the other semifinals, which they watch the super team crush in a 10-0 in the 1st inning (It doesn't help that this team has Promised Blood's music playing and they all look angry lol). One of the girls says out loud that they have to win so the coach gets back into playing, which of course the coach ends up hearing. She asks is that why they practiced so hard, for her? The girl says yes, because the national uniform suits her more. The coach thinks about it, and then agrees to their request, but only if they win.

Ashley is telling Seira to hurry, as the match is about to begin. Ash tells Kokoro she wants to stream the match, and Riko isn't here so Seira is handling the camera test.

The final match begins, and Kokoro's team is keeping their opponents from scoring, which was all it took to make the crowd go wild. After a big hit, Masara scores the first point, and tension rises with the crowd. They know the other team is going to try to score now, but as long as they can defend until the 5th inning they'll win.

At the end of the 3rd inning, they ended up being down 1-2. The crowd is massive now, as practically everyone on the beach is here watching, including people who were watching the streams. Bottom of the 5th inning is still 1-2, with Kokoro's team on offense. Kokoro is up to kick with Masara and one girl on bases. Kokoro messes up the kick and is out, but Masara sprints for home. Absolutely no one expected Masara's sudden run, so their opponents were caught off guard. Thanks to that, it's tied again 2-2. But that's not all, folks. First base now runs thanks to a bad throw to home. The ball comes back and...safe! The crowd erupts!

The game ends in victory. Masara tells the coach she just listened to what she said and found the right chance to go for it. Kokoro thinks she was getting into the game, but as Masara denies the claim, she changes her mind and says I don't know, maybe I did loose my cool a little. Their opponents are already talking about next year, and Ashley is loving the footage.

And so they all ask the coach to get back into playing one more time. She was so happy seeing the game play out today, so they want her to get back into playing for her own sake. The coach realizes she may have been too caught up on trying to get to the Olympics that she stopped enjoying baseball as it is. Only problem is she'll have to find a team.

As she says that, the coach from the other team comes by to see her. Coach 2 asks Koko coach if she remembers her. She didn't even recognize her, but she was from her team in high school! As it turns out, a pro team is forming a women's division, and she wants to introduce Koko coach to the scout. Coach 2 encourages her that while they may not be in the Olympics, there's other world tournaments, and maybe one day the rules will change. The girls all tell her to go for it, as they'll win tournaments even if they don't have a coach. So she goes on to ask about the details.

Kokoro then explains what happened after that day. Ashley's stream went viral and girls all over wanted to join their team. The team is looking great, but they're struggling to juggle their time between kickbase and the swim team. As for the coach...

Natsuki shows a magazine article to Kokoro and Masara. The coach's picture is in it, with an announcement that she's joining the women's team. Natsuki wonders if she should beat the heat and get serious too. She didn't mean baseball though, she meant cheerleading. All the enthusiasm from the event inspiring others is something she wants to take to heart with her cheerleading. Kokoro thinks on that. Masara broke her cool to make a winning run to home base thanks to enthusiasm. She smiles and says that is absolutely true! Masara asks her why she was looking at her while saying that.

====Mizuna Girls' Academy====

Mizuna's summer specialty is seaside school, a summer school event that let students enjoy various summer activities by the sea. Only problem is an incident happened on the first day of it...

Ria, Sayuki, Mayu, Tsukuyo have all arrived at the beach and are in the same group, with high school students enjoying free time, though Mayu was late getting her swimsuit on. Tsumugi and Manaka are in another group, with Tsumugi wishing Sana was here. The middle school students are in charge of preparing for the campfire that night along with Yukika and the student council. A student tells Yukika that they're missing a watermelon, and another is frightened, saying a ghost appeared. Yukika asks if it's the student council's job to take care of ghosts.

The campfire can be handled tomorrow, so the high school team is out enjoying the water. After, Ria goes to her room to get more sunscreen. Tsukuyo was worried about joining, but now she's glad she did. Mayu mentions that there's still watermelon splitting and a campfire to enjoy, which makes Sayuki realize something and take off. The two remaining decide to go to the beach house, with Mayu taking a detour to their room to go get Ria. As Mayu gets to the rooms she hears someone fall, and sees Ria on the ground with a split melon and a wooden sword surrounding her in their room. Mayu screams, thinking Ria is dead.

Sayuki and Asuka rush in with Yukika, Manaka, and Tsumugi right behind them. Mayu tells them that Ria-chan...is dead... Except she's not, so they rush her to the school doc. They were told that Ria must have been hit on the head and fell unconscious. Mayu vows to find who did it, but Asuka interrupts her...because she admits that she did it. She explains that she was outside, practicing her sword swings for the splitting contest with this sword she calls the "legendary melon slicer", but her hand slipped, throwing it at Ria.

Sayuki tells them to wait, because it's actually her fault! That wooden sword is hers, and it's no "legendary melon slicer", it's actually a "cursed watermelon splitter"... It's a sword that strikes things the owner does not want to, so when she was reminded of the watermelon splitting contest, she thought she might have brought the wrong one. She remembers running to the beach house, but saw it was too late as Asuka had already began swinging it. She called out to Asuka, which she claims activated the curse. Asuka says it was her fault though, as her inexperience caused her hand to slip.

Now Yukika places the blame on herself, as her tendency to get into trouble likely caused the accident. Mayu tells them all they're not the culprits, however. Yukika hasn't experienced anything thrilling yet, so this isn't a typical event of hers. Mayu also thinks the two didn't use this sword on Ria, despite it being right here. If she was hit by the sword, it should have left a mark on her, no? The doc said she was likely hit in the head, but there's no indication it was the sword itself. Who's the culprit then? Well, Ria is a mahou shoujo, so someone with enough force to knock her unconscious must also be one...

As they remember, Ria was the only one in the room, as the four of them went to play until she left to get sunscreen, and this room is for Sayuki, Mayu-chan, Tsukuyo-chan, and Amime-san (as Sayuki says), so who else could have entered? Manaka and Tsumugi start glancing at each other in worry. They start telling each other to turn themselves in, making the team wonder what they're hiding.

Earlier that day, Tsumugi saw Ria laughing and Manaka getting mad. Manaka told Ria to go hit her head on a watermelon, and then she saw Manaka carrying a watermelon away. But Manaka says that was just her joking around with Ria. As Manaka suspects, Tsumugi must have stolen the watermelon and got caught by Ria, so she struck her down to keep her mouth shut. Tsumugi tells her she's awful! She's just imagining things now, plus Manaka was the one with the melon to begin with.

Without any proof, Mayu then moves on to alibis. She had heard Ria fall down just from outside the room and rushed in. This means the attack happened just before Mayu screamed. Yukika explains that Manaka and Tsumugi were with her when they heard the scream, as they were doing student council work. Tsumugi is happy to be in the clear thanks to Manaka explaining things, but she wouldn't have been a suspect to begin with if she didn't act suspicious.

Where did the watermelon come from? At Yukika's request, Manaka and Tsumugi were carrying watermelons and firewood for the campfire, but Tsumugi got tired and set a melon on a bench nearby. Once they finished carrying the wood, they return to Yukika and heard the scream, meaning they forgot the watermelon on that bench. Yukika confirms, as a student told her one watermelon was missing. Did Ria take the watermelon to eat and someone attacked her for her crime? Asuka brings up an important point: where's Tsukuyo at...? Mayu told her to wait for her at the beach house, and the watermelon was left near it. They decide to head to the beach house and investigate the bench.

At the bench, they find Tsukuyo fainted and groaning. She's not hurt, so she may have saw something scary and passed out. Yukika thinks it may have been a ghost, as a student reported one appearing earlier. Tsukuyo wakes up, screaming that the ghost appeared. A voice calls out behind them, saying oh so you noticed me? Tsukuyo falls back to the ground, fainting once more. Asuka calls out to the ghost, ready to avenge her fallen comrade.

Kanoko in her whatever the fuck beach mushroom costume appears, with her telling Asuka NO IT'S ME! ME! Tsukuyo is groaning that it's the mushroom ghost. Kanoko had left to get a drink for Tsukuyo since she fainted, but she takes offense to being called a ghost. Tsukuyo never imagined THAT was her swimsuit, and apologizes for the trouble. Manaka asks how she swims in the thing, and Kanoko says she's been working on it. The team don't have time to hear it though, as they need to investigate the bench still.

Mayu asks Tsukuyo if the watermelon was here when she got here. Tsukuyo isn't sure since the shock, but she thinks there was one. Mayu believes everything is solved, and now knows that the murder weapon was in fact the watermelon.

Mayu asks Kanoko if she heard her scream right after Tsukuyo-chan fainted, and she did. Mayu then walks through the incident. Ria went to get room to get sunscreen, and must have had the window open because it was hot. And then the watermelon flew in from the window, killing her instantly. Immediately after that, the wooden sword flew in through the same window, slicing the watermelon in half and landing next to her, creating the scene she saw.

How did the watermelon go flying? Well, Manaka-chan was carrying it for Yukika, and it was left on the bench to take care of the exhausted Tsumugi-chan. And this bench it was left on behaves like a seesaw because it's old and worn out. Meaning when Tsukuyo-chan fainted onto the bench, the weight caused the bench to launch the watermelon, striking Ria-chan.

As for the sword, we know Asuka was practicing with it. When Sayuki yelled to her, she was startled enough to cause her to let loose the sword, straight into the watermelon. Everyone is skeptical, so they decide they need to ask the victim to confirm this wild series of coincidences. Manaka asks why they didn't just ask her to begin with.

Back at the room, Ria confirms a watermelon and sword flew in from the window. The melon hit her, and she saw a glimpse of a sword slicing the melon as she hit the ground. So who is the culprit responsible for this crime? Well, no one. As Mayu says, it was all an unfortunate accident caused by a series of coincidences. Ria laughs and agrees, as that watermelon saved her from getting chopped by the sword.

One mystery still remains, however. Why did Ria open the window in the first place? Ria says she didn't open it. She tried to close it because someone left it open. Then the person who left it open was... Mayu, because she was late getting her swimsuit on and forgot to close it. Oh, Mayu... So everyone apologizes to Ria for their behavior. That evening, Ria is screaming out to the ocean that she didn't get a chance to show off her new swimsuit because she spent the day knocked out.

====Daito Apartment Complex====

Every year the community runs an event for the kids during summer vacation. This year, Mito hears, is that they're going to have nagashi soumen. She also invites herself in joining Reira and Seika on the committee for running the event. They try to talk her out of it, but Mito wants to be with them as much as possible during their vacation.

They then see 3 little girls crying at the park. One tells them that Aa-chan is moving away to another country. Reira knows these 3 have been close friends their entire lives at these apartments, and now one is going away in 2 weeks. Reira has an idea though: they can all join the nagashi soumen event and make fun memories together! One girl asks Seika if she's mad at them, not realizing the Seika stares really hard when nervous. The kids like these 3 onee-chans, so they decide to join the event.

Later that day, Reira can't think of anything to do for the event. Seika asks if comedic ultra nagashi soumen is still off the table, as in no one can eat their noodles unless they can get laughs out of their joke. Reira thinks that would be too hard for little kids, and Mito says she wouldn't be able to eat then.

They hear cicadas, and Mito comments how hot it is outside. She tells them they should all go to the new water park since it's too hot to think. Reira remembers the water slide was fun, and Seika says if they put noodles through that, they'd go flying fast. Reira thinks that's a great idea.

Reira thinks nagashi soumen based on a water slide would be fun and original. They decide to go ask the 3 kids since they're the stars of this event. All 3 of them love the idea and want to know how that'll work, but Mito says that's a secret for now.

They trio go and ask the community chairman if they would cooperate with the complex builders in installing equipment to make this happen. At the building company, a guy tells them that making a water slide style nagashi soumen stand would require a lot of creativity and planning to build such a thing. He says that since the event is once a year and Mito-chan has come a long way, he wouldn't mind helping them. He then realizes he could use scaffolding, so he's fine handling construction.

Next they go to the complex's water services. The old man there is excited to help out and can hardly believe it's time for the annual event. He says everyone at this complex is like family to him and hasn't gotten to see Mito-chan in a while, so he'll join with the builder and make the best waterslide they can. With construction handled, Mito declares the event ready to go. Except she forgot one important thing: the soumen!

The chairman tells everyone to get fired up. Reira doesn't get why, they're just going to a dry noodle shop around here... He tells her she'll see when they go in. The chairman greets the grumpy old lady running the shop, who asks what he wants. Seika and Mito are already scared. Reira heard the store is famous for its noodles, but the owner has a reputation for being an oddball who will kick anyone out she doesn't like. Seika can't handle talking to her, so Reira steps up.

The old lady is like "you want MY soumen for some watermacallit...? I ain't selling no noodles for some weird event!" Reira tells her that yes it's an unexpected event, but there's 3 girls and one is about to leave the country, so she wants them to make memories at this event. She asks if the woman can make an exception this one time. She tells Reira she'll help if she's so determined. The chairman is impressed by her, but Reira says she's glad the old lady was able to understand.

Back at the complex, Reira approves of a model of how the slide will look, so construction begins. The old lady delivers a huge amount of noodles, and Mito asks if she can have a nibble. Reira reminds her that eating the noodles as is will make her sick. The construction is now complete, and the kids are excited to see it in action on the day of the event. Later, strong winds pick up and break the soumen stand apart, 2 days before the event.

There's no postponing the event, and Aa-chan would be gone by the time things get fixed. No one knows what to do, so the chairman reassures them at least the noodles are here, so they can still have a "normal soumen eating party." Reira has been given a deadline, so she calls her party to split up and come up with ideas by the morning.

Reira heads to Walnuts to ask Manaka for advice. She suggests having different sauces and condiments, like tomatoes or curry, and letting everyone build their own meal. Manaka says that creating an enjoyable atmosphere to eat in is kinda like entertainment, except little kids probably won't appreciate the idea. They need a more playful idea to make it work. Reira continues all throughout the day and night, but returns home unable to think of anything else.

Mito and Seika group call her, wondering if she came up with anything. Reira only knows they need something playful, and that it has to be able to be ready in half a day. Mito and Seika couldn't come up with anything either. Manaka's a la carte idea may end up being their last resort.

The next day, they decide to just go with the idea and get it ready fast, otherwise they'll be stuck eating all the noodles like wanko soba, as Seika says. Reira gets an idea out of that - why not do a wanko soumen contest? They rush the idea to the chairman who quickly approves, and so everyone rushes to get things ready. The chairman runs out of bowls, so the girls run around asking everyone in the complex for spare bowls.

After collecting bowls, Seika hands Reira a bag full of toys and cute things she got from the Oji-san who runs the general store when she was getting bowls from him, saying it would be great prizes for the kids. Mito wants to hand them out to everyone. Reira agrees - they should make it fun for every kid. Upon thinking that, she realizes something - instead of a contest to see who eats the most, how about...

And now the day of the event. Reira announces that they had to cancel the nagashi soumen event, but in its place will be a wanko soumen event. Aa-chan knows that means a contest to eat the most noodles over and over in their bowl wins. Mito corrects her that while true, in this event there's no winning or losing! Seika says (with her serious stare going on) on the back of every bowl is a number on a sticker, and every point the eater gets can be redeemed for a present, so everyone can eat a lot and get lots of presents.

The kids are all excited getting their presents as they finish their bowls. Reira and Seika are losing their cool trying to keep up with all the kids, but Mito seems to be doing fine. After the event ends, Aa-chan and friends tell Reira they've never had so much fun eating noodles before. Aa-chan got a set of 3 hairpins as a present, so she divided them with her friends. That way they won't be lonely when the miss each other, and they'll never forget this day. The girls start tearing up, including Seika and Mito. They'll never forget Aa-chan either.

As the girls watch the sun set, they prayed that the little girls' friendship would last forever, no matter the distance. Afterwards, they said their goodbyes like they always do. "Byebye, see you tomorrow!"

===Part 2===

====Madoka====

Madoka and friends go south to a private resort this summer. Mami-san and Sayaka-chan immediately declare a summer battle game using water guns, with the prize being gifts everyone was asked to bring with them. Madoka got something really special, because...

Flashback to when Madoka was getting ready in her room. Junko is asking her over and over if she forgot anything, did she remember her homework, and then tells her to go off and enjoy the things she can only do now.

With that promise being made, Madoka wants to make lots of memories on this vacation. They gather all the gifts together, and Madoka asks Homura what she brought. Homura doesn't say it, but it's something she got for Madoka. Sayaka and Mami then explains the rules, but Madoka notices everyone glancing at the gifts nervously.

Every grabs their water guns, and the teams are: MadoHomu, SayaKyou, and MamiNagi (who could have guessed). If you get hit, you go back to your team's base, and each person has 3 lives, one hit = one life. No magic or telepathy are allowed. The team with the most lives when the timer goes off wins. Madoka starts asking Homura how they should tackle the game - do they go alone and risk being shot, both go and risk losing their base, or defend while the other teams fight it out? Homura was lost in thought, though, wondering what Kaname-san's prize is. They announce that first place gets 3 prizs, 2nd 2 prizes, and last 1 prize.

Mami shuffled them around and assigned which ranks get what prizes randomly so only she knows. Madoka realizes her prize is assigned to the team that gets last place. Nagisa is happy her gift is in the pile for first, and Kyouko tells her to keep it a secret. They finally decide that the team that gets knocked out first is in last place, so they're now ready to begin.

Game start, and Homu's mind is still occupied by the fact that Madoka's prize is for last place. Kyouko wastes no time and fires at Madoka. Madoka takes off running, and Mami takes a shot at her next, and hits. Both teams have formed an alliance, concentrating on taking out the MadoHomu team.

Madoka and Homura both take hits by Sayaka and Mami working together, sending them back to their base. Mami is too good at this, since she uses guns all the time. Madoka brings up that Homura also uses guns, but Homura says she's still learning. Homura doesn't want them to lose, but she can't help but wonder what Madoka's prize is. Current lives remaining: Madoka: 1, Homura: 2, everyone else: 3.

Mami is going all out while her theme blasts, impressing Sayaka. Kyouko wants to win too, so she's going for it. Mami wants to win because she wants Nagisa's present. Earlier, Nagisa was snickering that she she can't wait to see the face of whoever opens her present. Nagisa cheers Mami on, who tells her let's win. Nagisa's eyes go wide - win...? Winning's going to be a bit of a problem.

Madoka sees team MamiNagi waver. Her and Homura try to think of a plan, but Kyouko takes the chance and fires at them, missing. Thanks to a pep talk by Madoka, Homura can now concentrate on the game. They stand back to back, ready to fight back and win first.

Homura is going to aim for Mami and Nagisa, so Madoka can focus on Kyouko and Sayaka. They hold position and fire back, pushing both teams away from them. Kyouko tells both teams to go all out, since there's no way they can fight back against all 4 at once, right? There's nowhere to dodge, so Mami opens fire, but... Nagisa shot Mami!? Nagisa apologizes, and Sayaka wonders to herself - did no one just notice Nagisa aimed right for Mami?

Nagisa feels so bad, but she thinks back to when an employee offered her some resort cheesecake. It's good for 2 days refrigerated, so Mami buys an entire cake. Nagisa wants that cheesecake that Mami got for her no matter what, and she knows for certain that cheesecake is in the 2nd place prize pool. She shot Mami so they have a handicap when they go against Kyouko and Sayaka. Faking her innocence, Nagisa is forgiven by Mami.

Homura knows Kyouko is most worried about Mami, so she thinks there will be more infighting to sway that advantage further. The game is about to be flipped over.

Kyouko wants to knock Madoka's team out, but Mami's expertise will be the end of her team. She wonders if there's another way to feign an accident to drop her to 1 life. The 4 get back into firing range, so Homura and Madoka split to avoid being surrounded. Sayaka goes after Mami, and Mami's back is now exposed. Kyouko takes the chance and hits Mami dead on. She tries to play it off, but Mami knows that was on purpose since they're out of firing range. Kyouko smiles and says guess you wouldn't believe anything I say now. Mami is now down to 1 life remaining, just like Madoka.

The teams all return to discuss plans. Kyouko tells Sayaka they should team up with Madoka and Homura now so they can knock Mami out, leaving only Nagisa for their team. Sayaka is worried, thinking back to earlier. Sayaka surprises Madoka in her resort room, catching her wrapping a ribbon on her present. Sayaka caught a glimpse of what it is, not realizing Madoka was hiding here with her present. Sayaka wants Madoka's present, which is in the 2nd place pool, but Kyouko wants to win 1st.

Kyouko tells Sayaka to charge at Mami. Nagisa didn't get the memo that they're enemies now. Kyouko yells to MadokHomu that she's not shooting at them until Mami is down, and asks for backup. MadoHomu are staying put, so KyouSaya go after Mami anyway. Mami takes off and hits Sayaka, knocking her down to 2 lives. Homura notices Sayaka isn't trying.

And so Homura and Madoka discuss teaming up with Mami's team now. If Mami is out, Kyouko will surely beat them, so they should help Mami hold on until all 3 teams are even in score. The alliances swap with Nagisa's approval, and Sayaka and Kyouko argue. Everyone fires at Kyouko, and Mami gets one hit in. Nagisa is now the only one at full lives. Everyone then goes after Kyouko except Nagisa, who cuts off Sayaka.

Sayaka and Nagisa stare each other down. Nagisa knows if Mami is out, there's no chance at 2nd place alone, and if Kyouko gets out, Mami could win on her own. Sayaka is pondering what's up with nagisa. She shot Mami in the back, so maybe she's after that cheesecake in the 2nd place pool?

Kyouko has no chance against 3 at once, and she yells to Sayaka to quit staring at Nagisa and help out. Sayaka wants 2nd place too, so she heads over to back Kyouko up. Unfortunately, Kyouko was shot by Madoka before she could make it. Madoka can't believe she even did it.

Just then the timer goes off, marking the end of the first half of the game. Lives remaining: Madoka: 1, Homura: 2, Sayaka: 2, Kyouko: 1, Mami: 1, Nagisa: 3.

During break time, Kyouko is arguing with Sayaka, who can't admit she wants 2nd place. Madoka and Homura come over and ask if something happened. Kyouko says nothing, it's just Sayaka doesn't seem to want to play. Sayaka then tells everyone that she was trying for 2nd. It was that moment that Madoka finally realized everyone was acting strange regarding this game.

Sayaka explains that she saw Madoka's prize and knew it was similar to hers, so she was aiming to get 2nd. Then Mami and Nagisa come over, and Homura begins admitting that she was trying to get last place for Madoka's present. Seeing everyone apologizing, Nagisa joins in and says sorry to Mami. Sayaka knew it - she did want the cheesecake in 2nd place. Mami has to break it to her that the cheesecake isn't in the present, the cheesecake was just something she got her. The cheesecake case is actually Kyouko's present, and there's no cheesecake inside. Nagisa is furious - whatdyou mean there's no cheesecake in the cheesecake case!? Kyouko explains she didn't have anything to put her present in, so Mami gave her the cheesecake case, leaving the actual cake in the fridge for tonight.

Even Kyouko was aiming for a specific prize - Homura's really nice thing that's sitting in the 1st place pool. Homura got something that Madoka would specifically like, though. That's what she meant by something really nice. Mami's turn is next, saying she wanted first because she heard Nagisa wanted to see who would open her present. Nagisa is mad hearing Mami thinking it was some jack in the box gag. Mami wanted to get 1st not because she wanted a specific present, but because she didn't want anyone else to get Nagisa's potentially scary prize.

Leaving only one person who was just playing for fun and not being distracted: Madoka. The timer goes off again, so everyone is ready for round 2, but this time everyone is going to play fair.

The game ends, with Mami being the last girl standing, having taken everyone out before the timer. End result: Mami Nagisa 1st, Sayaka Kyouko 2nd, Madoka Homura 3rd. Everyone is impressed Madoka managed to last until it was just her, Mami, and Kyouko remaining.

And now it's time for presents, starting with 3rd place. Madoka got this, so she lets Homura open it. Sayaka already knows what it is since she got the same thing. Inside is a Sagaribana Sagarin, a local plushy character based on the flower Barringtonia. Sayaka teases her, saying I guess it's cute if you look at it hard enough, but Madoka didn't get it's a joke. She looks worried, apologizing and asking Homura if it's not actually cute. Homura stammers that it's not not cute, but uh let's open the next present?

We know Sayaka's present, so Sayaka is going to open Kyouko's, except Kyouko isn't happy. Sayaka opens it, and it's a 3rd of these flower characters. As it turns out, all 6 of them bought the exact same thing for each other, so they ask each other WHY THIS.

Mami says she always buys tea or sweets, so she wanted to get something different. Homura saw Madoka staring at it at the store, so she bought one. Nagisa bought one because it was the weirdest thing she saw there and wanted to see the reaction of whoever got it. Madoka asks is it really that weird...? Kyouko traded a prize she got at the arcade for one with a local, though the box was thrown out. Nagisa realizes THAT THING was put into the cheesecake case. Everyone laughs at how this all turned out. Mami hands Madoka one, saying they may as well all get a prize.

Madoka looks back at photos of the day with her Sagarin, saying that this was one of her greatest summer memories. She enjoyed every moment of it, being together with all of her friends and this weird little present.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl drifting in the summer sea. She's an indoor person who prefers to stay home and read books during the hot summer months, but when her brother invited her to a beach house, she found herself [[wikipedia:Standup_paddleboarding|SUPing]] in the ocean. As a former rhythmic gymnast, she can do [[wikipedia:Paddleboard_Yoga|SUP yoga]] fairly well. Also, she's not good at swimming.

===Doppel Description===

The Doppel of escape. Its form is a nighthawk. The master of this emotion runs to and fro, continually searching for a "fun summer vacation" that's fitting for her. Her ever-indecisive state of mind takes shape as this Doppel, with many fresh fruits incorporated into its form. In much the same way that the void in its master’s heart remains unfilled by any of the summers she experiences, the incongruous residue of those countless summers floats within the Doppel. Their sugar content skyrockets in correspondence with how much she was looking forward to them. The frankly-exhausted Doppel tearfully attempts to convince its master to give up on finding a fun summer, but if she still insists on continuing her search, it's considering teaching her a helpful lesson about her limitations by drowning her with its oceanic wings.

===Side Story===

On the last day of school before the summer holidays, Kuroe's teacher dismisses her class with best wishes for the holidays - and reminds them that part of their homework is to write a summer diary about the fun they get up to. Kuroe, however, doesn't know what a fun summer vacation is - she figures if she can read a book in a comfortable, cool room, that'd be enough for her.

We then cut to the very end of the vacation, where Kuroe realizes she hasn't written her diary yet, and had best get to it immediately. Remarkably, summer was much busier than she had expected it would be - to think she had been so concerned about what she would write. In retrospect, she should have documented everything from the start, given all that unfolded - but now, all she can do is scribble the events down as much as she can, and notes that it'll be a memoir rather than an actual diary. But either way, this will let her mark down a summer holiday she never wants to forget.

Now, we cut back to the beginning of the holiday. Just as Kuroe expects this summer to be no different from the rest, she gets a text from her older brother recruiting her for help at his friend's local beach house, adding they have a "Stand-up Paddleboard" (SUP) class. Kuroe isn't sure what that is, but assumes it's like surfing and figures it wouldn't suit her, and feels she wouldn't fit in with her brother's friends, given how upbeat they are compared to her. Still, if her brother's asking her of all people, then he and his friends must really be in a pinch...but it's all a moot point, given that Kuroe doesn't have a swimsuit to even wear. She tries to rationalize that they must not really be in trouble...

But as fate would have it, in the midst of her papers, Kuroe digs up a flyer she'd received from Mitama for a special Swimsuit Coordination Campaign.

Kuroe heads over to Kamihama; on the train there, she overhears conversations by lots of various people gabbing about their plans for summer. Kuroe, aloof and distant, wonders why people make such a big fuss about summer.

Kuroe then arrives at Mitama's and requests the swimsuit, and Mitama works her magic, promising she'll make a cute and pretty one for Kuroe - and does so. As they chat afterwards, Mitama inquires about Kuroe helping at the beach house now that she has a swimsuit. Despite getting the Coordination, however, Kuroe still has cold feet - the beach just doesn't suit her.On the other hand, she does need a fun summer vacation for her homework assignment, and Kuroe just doesn't know what that entails. Given how much summer imagery is associated with the beach...

Mitama encourages her to go, saying she might be able to make new friends at the beach, for one - in fact, Mitama is a tad envious! [[Magia_Record_Story_The_Call_of_the_Open_Sea|After all, there's nothing like the thrill of a summer ripe with possibilities, before you've even planned anything.]] Even so, Kuroe ponders all this - people say it's good to meet new people and have new experiences...but what if that new encounter ends in disaster? Perhaps breaking out of what she's used to is a bad idea...

As fate would have it again, though, who walks in to disrupt Kuroe's funk but one Emiri Kisato? Emiri, Hinano, Rika, and Ren introduce themselves, thinking Kuroe might be a newcomer to Kamihama - but no, Mitama explains, she's a visitor from Takarazaki who wants to know what makes a fun summer vacation. Well, that's a problem with a simple solution for Rika - just have Kuroe hang out with them! Hinano pipes up with an objection, saying they can't just go barging into people's lives and inviting them out of nowhere - but still, Kuroe doesn't seem to mind. And so she begins her quest for a fun summer with these strangers on a trip to the food court.

In a discussion of Kuroe's dilemma, Emiri says it's easy - a fun summer is spent in a place that's nice and cool! Kuroe nods along, but Hinano says Kuroe doesn't have to force herself to be like Emiri - for example, Hinano imagines a fun summer to be watching fireworks side by side with that special someone, or running in the ocean together... Rika remarks these sound an awful lot like things you'd do on a date, and Hinano says that's the point - an adult's ideal summer is different from a kid's!

Rika gets excited, asking if Hinano's visited [https://jw-webmagazine.com/tokyo-night-pool-best-hotel-pools-in-tokyo-2019-summer-32a4b65f1b3d/ a night pool] as well, and Hinano stammers out a little "O-of course I have! It's super glittery, yeah?" Rika is over the moon she really wants to go there - it looks amazing, you can't get sunburned at night, and they have girls-only nights, too! Emiri joins in, saying they're super shiny and have cool pool toys like flamingo or unicorn floats, and even Ren murmurs that she'd like to visit with her friends, too. Rika says she wants a selfie with all her pals on a big floatie together, and Hinano chuckles, saying she'll take them all next time. But Emiri wonders if that would be possible - the park has a curfew of 7 PM for little kids, after all!

Hinano, of course, wails about being a grown woman, which has Kuroe murmur in response, and Emiri's like "Oh yeah, you weren't expecting that, were you, Kuropi?" The nickname surprises Kuroe, but she doesn't object to keeping it. Emiri sets her sights on Ren next, clamoring for Ren to talk about what her idea of a fun summer is, too!

As that goes on, Kuroe ponders her situation. Between Hinano, Rika, and Emiri, this is a very chatty group, and she can't really keep up with things - she knows she'd get exhausted hanging out with them for too much time. She eyes Ren, wondering and worrying a little over whether she's being taken advantage of by these outgoing, socially dominant girls...

But while the other girls gab and Kuroe ruminates, Ren asks if Kuroe is feeling okay - she seems to sympathize with Kuroe and understands that the gyarus can be much for some people at times, and asks if Kuroe is feeling tired out. Kuroe quickly reassures her, saying she's fine, and feeling a bit guilty for making Ren worry. Before they can chat further, though, the girls pipe up again - there's a local summer festival happening right now, and this is their one chance to go - and it's as good a guarantee of a fun summer vacation as any!

As soon as Kuroe arrives, however, she's instantly made uncomfortable: the place is packed and very noisy. Even so, she wants to make the best of the occasion. She observes the others in the group having fun, like Rika feeding Ren an extra chocolate banana she won, or Hinano wrangling Emiri from running off alone into the crowd, though Emiri does drag Kuroe through some various fun and games, like yo-yo fishing. Still, it's mostly Hinano and Emiri who participate in the games.

Ultimately, what catches Kuroe's eye is a nearby takoyaki stand - which she stares at, lost in thought, for quite some time. The cook expects Kuroe to buy something, which leaves her reeling for a way to respond, but Rika steps in and buys one to share. When Kuroe says she'll pay Rika for it, Rika waves her off, saying she and Ren wanted to try one together, so they can all split it. Around this point, though, Rika seems to notice Kuroe's withdrawn mood, and tries to talk to Kuroe about it - but Emiri comes barging in, shouting Rika's name. Emiri's happy to see Kuroe, too, saying she lost track of Kuroe in all the shenanigans, and was busy looking for her everywhere!

Emiri cuts to the chase - has Kuroe found the fun summer holiday she's been looking for? Kuroe says she's not exactly sure, so Emiri whisks her off into yet more games. Kuroe thinks to herself that they're all being so nice to her, but...she just feels so awkward here. She just can't find a place here. In fact, she might've been better off staying home.

Eventually, the summer festival comes to a close - Emiri is despondent, there was still so much she wanted to do! But Ren says they'll have more chances; Emiri realizes yeah, there'll be lots of summer festivals - maybe next time, they can do a yukata one! Rika gets excited for that, too. Emiri says they'll do it with Kuropi, too - but Kuroe says, ah, actually, she doesn't often visit Kamihama, so...

It's a polite way of trying to dodge the issue, but Rika knows what's really up - she asks if Kuroe doesn't do well in noisy, crowded events like this? Kuroe stammers in response, and Rika apologizes for them dragging her into this. Emiri's thrown off by all this - were they actually causing more harm than good for Kuroe? Kuroe admits she doesn't enjoy these kinds of things - and adds that she found it all...kind of annoying, too.

There's an awkward pause, and Kuroe thinks she's really stepped in it this time, and tries to excuse herself, but Hinano wonders aloud if Kuroe's the type who would rather have friends with whom she shares common interests or hobbies? Kuroe says she doesn't really know, actually... Hinano hands off an ad for an upcoming event featuring a bunch of various cafes - board game cafes, movies, maids, even a fairy tale-themed one, and Hinano adds there'll be magical girls there, too - people of all different natures. She says a kohai of hers will be attending, and says if Kuroe's interested in going, she can meet with the kohai there, too.

In truth, though...Kuroe doesn't want to go out again. But she's worried she'll make things even more awkward if she says no. And perhaps there's hope for this event, too...so she agrees, deciding to give it a shot.

In Kuroe's next outing (as she relays in her diary/memoir), she went to the local swimming pool/waterpark hosting that cafe event. She writes that their meetup spot was (for some reason) near a maid cafe stop; there, Kuroe was...surprised by what she saw. She comes in, seeing maids doing various cutesy acts, female customers squeeing over Nagitan - Kuroe is in awe, wondering how someone can adore others, like these maids, so much. It makes her a little...envious, really. And with how noisy it is, well...she's worried she won't fit in here, either.

She tries to muster herself up to visit the fairy tale cafe spot, but...she already feels exhausted. She's about to duck out until she quite literally runs headlong into Hinano's kohai - who turns out to be Ryo. After introductions, Ryo wonders if Kuroe happened to be in the Magius as well; when Kuroe admits such, Ryo introduces herself as a former Feather, too - she recognized Kuroe's voice!

So they get down to business - Kuroe needs a fun summer holiday, right? No problem - Ryo will help introduce her to some fun people to meet. For their first stop, they visit Ikumi, another fellow former Feather - and Sakurako is here, too! [[Eternal_Sakura_(Swimsuit_ver.)#Side_Story|She enters the scene by trying to spook Ryo, but Ryo isn't startled at all.]] After getting caught up on things, Sakurako says a fun summer vacation will be easy. [[Magia_Record_Story_Welcome_to_Uwasa_Aquarium!_~_Entrust_Your_Memories_to_the_Tamatebako|She just needs to conjure up the Uwasa Aquarium, and]] - no, Ryo says, the aquarium is strictly forbidden! Kuroe, looking at Sakurako, wonders if she's a magical girl, too...

Before she gets an answer to that, Karin and Kanagi enter the scene. Ikumi asks if Kanagi's cafe is done for the day, but no, Karin just wanted to visit Ikumi, and Kanagi volunteered to be her escort. Kanagi has to return to the shop right after this, and asks Ikumi to keep an eye on Karin - Ikumi says of course (and Karin pouts that Kanagi sounds like she's dropping off Karin at a daycare center). Karin wishes Kanagi well as the latter heads back to work, and settles down to chat with Ikumi - until her eyes land on Kuroe.

Karin quickly introduces herself and gets the lowdown on Kuroe; she's excited to meet a magical girl from outside of town! For her idea of a fun summer, Karin introduces Kuroe to Magical Kirin with much gusto, saying the manga just released a special summer issue! Still, Ryo and Ikumi point out that if Kuroe goes with Karin's idea, Kuroe would have to spend the entire summer reading Magical Kirin alone, just to get an idea of what a fun summer could be.

Sakurako points out that she's read several volumes of Kirin since Nemu had them in e-book format, and wondered if it really does take most people a long time to read stories. Yes indeed, Ryou says; Sakurako is just (literally) built different from everyone else. The Kirin volumes are very long works - but that's one part out of many of why Karin loves the series so much. It's practically her Bible!

Kuroe observes Karin's fangirling, still in awe that someone can be so passionate about another person or thing - just seeing Karin fangirling over Kirin is piquing Kuroe's interest as well. Since Karin has a copy of Kirin on hand anyway, she starts showing it off to everyone, talking about how the iridescent colors or composition really capture the atmosphere of summer; Ryo gets really into it from a photographer's perspective, too, and Ikumi says she'd like to be in a photo with a background like the ones the Kirin artist draws - Ryo says she'll try taking one of Ikumi like that sometime.

The girls turn to Kuroe, wondering about what photo she'd look good in, too - something with sparklers, with a beautiful, delicate atmosphere. Karin says Kuroe's got the vibe of the archetypical cool mysterious figure (ex. the green/black ranger) who joins the heroes later in the story, and Ikumi agrees wholeheartedly, which flusters Kuroe a bit.

As the girls talk about the art and come up with ideas for new photo compositions for Ryo, Kuroe puts together that Ryo is a photographer, and that this is an interesting dynamic - all these girls have completely different hobbies, but were able to come together, relate to each other, and synthesize their ideas through Magical Kirin. And Kuroe thinks it's a little weird...but a little fun, too.

On that note, Ikumi asks if Kuroe has any hobbies herself. Karin suddenly realizes she's been dominating the whole conversation and apologizes, but Kuroe says no, it was fun listening to her. But as for her hobbies...well, Kuroe likes to read. Sakurako smiles and immediately says she's just like Nemu in that regard. Karin says she likes reading comic books herself, so they're alike in that regard! Kuroe says yeah, maybe they are.

When Ryou asks what books Kuroe likes reading, Kuroe says a lot - she's a fan of [[Kenji_Miyazawa_and_Magia_Record|Kenji Miyazawa]], for instance. Karin recognizes the name, though hasn't read many of his stories - but when Kuroe brings up The Restaurant of Many Orders, Karin definitely knows that one, mentioning how chilling it is. Karin says there's lots of bookworms she knows - [[Kushu_Irina|Kushu]] is big on Miyazawa, too, and Karin also brings up [[Kako_Natsume|Kako]], saying they all gotta hang out together sometime!

Ikumi suggests they all meet up at her maid cafe, though Ryo says Shizuku's coffee shop might be a more suitable atmosphere for bookworms. Ikumi says yeah, that's true - it's quieter there. Ryo also says the blended coffee is excellent...which is great, given that's what Ryo can afford. Karin is feeling really peppy - they'll have a magical girl bookworm club (adding that everyone she's mentioned is a magical girl as well). And Kuroe's seeing potential, here - she expects she might be able to get especially along with Ryo and Ikumi, as kindred spirits. And Karin, too, seems to be at around Kuroe's power level, so Kuroe wouldn't be left in the dust by a bigger, badder magical girl... And as Magical Girls, their situations are likely very similar... And if a Witch appears, they can all take it down together.

Kuroe closes her eyes for a second to absorb all this, then thinks, maybe...she can be friends with these girls. And maybe, just maybe, she'll have a fun summer vacation with them, too.

But that doesn't change the outcome to all this - Kuroe still doesn't know what makes a fun summer holiday, does she? Unfortunately, the girls don't really know what makes summer particularly distinct, either - Sakurako has fun just being with Nemu, while Ryo's always after the next hot story no matter what season it is. Ikumi, too, is always focused on making people smile all throughout the year...and she's happiest when she makes others happy.

So yeah, Kuroe's kind of up a creek here...but Karin is determined to help Kuroe have a fun vacation! In fact, she already has an idea - as part of their book club, they can all recommend a favorite book for the others to read! She thinks it'd be a great way of getting to know other people, and it'd be fun, too! To start with, Karin decides she'll give Kuroe a copy of Magical Kirin, certain that Kuroe will like it, too.

Kuroe, though, reflects on what she's seen today - the fangirls for Kanagi and the maids in general, Karin's passion for Kirin... Kuroe fears that she won't love Kirin with the level of passion that these other girls do; she doesn't think she has the temperament to fangirl like that. And if Kuroe doesn't like it...will that cause a rift between her and these girls, too? If she doesn't like what they like, she feels like it'd be hard to actually be friends with them...

The girls notice Kuroe's gone quiet; when they ask what's up, Kuroe says she's left her books at home, so they can do this some other time...and says she has to go home immediately. Overwhelmed as she is, Kuroe practically flees the scene.

And once again, she laments the situation - these were good, well-meaning girls, people she might've been able to relate to on many levels...but in her haste to bail out, she forgot to get everyone's contact info. But...she tells herself, it's fine... She doesn't fit in anywhere, and that's fine. She doesn't need or want to fit in...and...surely, she'll be fine on her own, right...?

In the final act, in Kuroe's diary, she relays that at this point in summer, everyone around her was having their own plans with their friends that she watched from afar. It was all in another world to her, where she would never belong, and she spent much of her summer nose-deep in books.

At some point, when she couldn't track down a book she was curious about, she returned to Kamihama to look for it - and along the way, stopped by a coffee shop, the one Ryo and the others had recommended. Sure enough, it's just as those girls said - it's a quiet, peaceful place, and she likes it a lot. While she thought reading books at home would be the most relaxing place to do it, this might not be so bad, either.

Kuroe gets her blended coffee, and unintentionally murmurs aloud how delicious it is - Shizuku thanks her, pleased to hear that from a first-time customer. Kuroe's a little flustered to have spoken aloud without realizing it, but Shizuku chuckles, calm as always. She asks about the book Kuroe is reading - Shizuku's only just started on the first few pages of it herself, but relates to the protagonist's family owning a coffee shop as well.

Kuroe asks more about what books Shizuku likes - as expected, while Shizuku isn't much of a reader, she does like books related to travel. From there, they get onto introducing themselves. Kuroe explains how someone recommended this place to her - someone who only drinks the blended coffee - and Shizuku quickly connects the dots, recognizing Kuroe as someone Ryo's talked about, that Kuroe's the former Black Feather. Ryo never mentioned Kuroe's name, which is why it took Shizuku this long to figure out who Kuroe was. Kuroe remarks Shizuku must be good friends with Ryo, but Shizuku says not exactly; it's just Ryo and Ikumi saved her life a while ago.

A customer comes and Shizuku excuses herself from the conversation. Kuroe gathers that Shizuku must be a former Feather as well - and notes that Shizuku is, by far, the easiest person to talk with so far. They do seem very similar, even from the quick conversation they've had...

By Kuroe's estimation, Shizuku seems to be a very weak Magical Girl, just like Kuroe - who joined the Magius to find someone to save her. She thought Shizuku was someone who never fit in anywhere, or tried to fit in, either - but, in narrative form, Kuroe says that was a big mistaken assumption to make.

Because as Kuroe moves to leave the store, who enters but Ayaka herself. With how loud and boisterous Ayaka is, Kuroe instantly expects Shizuku to be annoyed, too, but no, it becomes quickly apparent that they're friends - Ayaka wheedles Shizuku into ducking out of work early to attend a comedy show. After some token resistance, and Ayaka attempting to literally drag Shizuku away, they go off - with Shizuku having a little smile on her face.

Kuroe, finally, feels disappointment - she finally thought she found someone just like her, but...no, Shizuku has fun summer plans, too. Really, though, it was seeing Shizuku happy and not annoyed about Ayaka that made Kuroe feel bitter - and that made Kuroe feel even worse about herself, that not only did she not fit in with anyone, she was a terrible person for wanting everyone to be just as miserable as her. It's envy in its rawest form - she's envious that Shizuku has someone who will take her by the hand and take her away - and Kuroe does not.

The noise around her on the way home bothers Kuroe even more than ever, what with everyone enjoying themselves. She put on her headphones and turned on some music - which shuffled to a summer-themed song, which is just the finishing touch on Kuroe's bad day.

Looking upon everyone, she realizes what's been going on with herself - she's been acting cool and aloof, telling herself she doesn't get the big deal about summer or why people are so excited for it. But really, she was denying her own situation - that she was envious of how other people could enjoy themselves the way they could. She realizes it's like the fable of the Fox and the Grapes - the fox couldn't get the grapes, so he stormed off, muttering about how the grapes must be sour, anyway... Kuroe feels like that fox now - acting above it all, but really just an envious, bitter loser.

She reflects on all the people she's met in Kamihama recently - all these people trying to reach out to her and give her a fun vacation, who cared about her, someone so unlike them, and tried to offer alternatives and options to better suit her... People kept on reaching their hands out to her, over and over and over again - but Kuroe could not bring herself to reach back. She berates herself - if only she'd taken that hand, if only's she'd taken that step, would things be different now...?

But there's no point in wondering. She wasn't and isn't capable of taking a hand or a step forward - because she just doesn't know how to do it.

To cap it off, she gets a text from her brother again, asking about helping out at the beach house. At this point, Kuroe wants to shut him down, but...she feared what would happen if she said "no" again at this point, that she might be replaced by him altogether. And so she goes.

It's hell, still - everyone is so happy and smiling, and she just can't be like them. Seeing them makes her think that the grapes really are sweet - and as unreachable as ever. She thinks - Tamaki would have been able to find a way to get those grapes. She wouldn't have been so bothered by all these things. Kuroe doesn't know how Iroha does it - just that she does.

To while away the time, Kuroe falls into a fantasy, of someone on a proverbial white horse to come galloping in and declare "let's be friends," "let's have a fun summer vacation ever", someone who would force her to take that step forward...and what little did she expect that very person would come in. Yes, Iroha herself - [[Magia_Record_Story_Seven-Coloured_Summer_Pattern_~Daily_Lives_Written_in_a_Notebook~|the story of what that entailed is in the 2022 summer event.]]

The MGS ends with Kuroe's diary one last time. The entry details that this encounter with Iroha is what turned Kuroe's summer around. Kuroe was miserable, exhausted, and had a lot to deal with - but in the end, she can now look back and say she had fun. She got into a lot of things she never would've expected to do, that she'd never do on her own, that scared her - but she got through them anyway, realizing she didn't need to be so afraid of making mistakes. She doesn't know if her summer vacation was as fun as everyone else's...but it's definitely one she'll never forget.

...That all written down, Kuroe fears this really does read too much like a memoir written in retrospect, and not a true diary :kyokolol: Still, though, that's shortly off her mind - for now, she wants to go back to Kamihama, to meet all the people she'd encountered again - to thank them for helping her, to tell them so many things. She knows that summer will be here again before she knows it - and, perhaps for the first time in ages, she looks forward to what it will bring.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl drifting in the summer sea. She's an indoor person who prefers to stay home and read books during the hot summer months, but when her brother invited her to a beach house, she found herself [[wikipedia:Standup_paddleboarding|SUPing]] in the ocean. As a former rhythmic gymnast, she can do [[wikipedia:Paddleboard_Yoga|SUP yoga]] fairly well. Also, she's not good at swimming.

===Doppel Description===

===Side Story===

On the last day of school before the summer holidays, Kuroe's teacher dismisses her class with best wishes for the holidays - and reminds them that part of their homework is to write a summer diary about the fun they get up to. Kuroe, however, doesn't know what a fun summer vacation is - she figures if she can read a book in a comfortable, cool room, that'd be enough for her.

We then cut to the very end of the vacation, where Kuroe realizes she hasn't written her diary yet, and had best get to it immediately. Remarkably, summer was much busier than she had expected it would be - to think she had been so concerned about what she would write. In retrospect, she should have documented everything from the start, given all that unfolded - but now, all she can do is scribble the events down as much as she can, and notes that it'll be a memoir rather than an actual diary. But either way, this will let her mark down a summer holiday she never wants to forget.

Now, we cut back to the beginning of the holiday. Just as Kuroe expects this summer to be no different from the rest, she gets a text from her older brother recruiting her for help at his friend's local beach house, adding they have a "Stand-up Paddleboard" (SUP) class. Kuroe isn't sure what that is, but assumes it's like surfing and figures it wouldn't suit her, and feels she wouldn't fit in with her brother's friends, given how upbeat they are compared to her. Still, if her brother's asking her of all people, then he and his friends must really be in a pinch...but it's all a moot point, given that Kuroe doesn't have a swimsuit to even wear. She tries to rationalize that they must not really be in trouble...

But as fate would have it, in the midst of her papers, Kuroe digs up a flyer she'd received from Mitama for a special Swimsuit Coordination Campaign.

Kuroe heads over to Kamihama; on the train there, she overhears conversations by lots of various people gabbing about their plans for summer. Kuroe, aloof and distant, wonders why people make such a big fuss about summer.

Kuroe then arrives at Mitama's and requests the swimsuit, and Mitama works her magic, promising she'll make a cute and pretty one for Kuroe - and does so. As they chat afterwards, Mitama inquires about Kuroe helping at the beach house now that she has a swimsuit. Despite getting the Coordination, however, Kuroe still has cold feet - the beach just doesn't suit her.On the other hand, she does need a fun summer vacation for her homework assignment, and Kuroe just doesn't know what that entails. Given how much summer imagery is associated with the beach...

Mitama encourages her to go, saying she might be able to make new friends at the beach, for one - in fact, Mitama is a tad envious! [[Magia_Record_Story_The_Call_of_the_Open_Sea|After all, there's nothing like the thrill of a summer ripe with possibilities, before you've even planned anything.]] Even so, Kuroe ponders all this - people say it's good to meet new people and have new experiences...but what if that new encounter ends in disaster? Perhaps breaking out of what she's used to is a bad idea...

As fate would have it again, though, who walks in to disrupt Kuroe's funk but one Emiri Kisato? Emiri, Hinano, Rika, and Ren introduce themselves, thinking Kuroe might be a newcomer to Kamihama - but no, Mitama explains, she's a visitor from Takarazaki who wants to know what makes a fun summer vacation. Well, that's a problem with a simple solution for Rika - just have Kuroe hang out with them! Hinano pipes up with an objection, saying they can't just go barging into people's lives and inviting them out of nowhere - but still, Kuroe doesn't seem to mind. And so she begins her quest for a fun summer with these strangers on a trip to the food court.

In a discussion of Kuroe's dilemma, Emiri says it's easy - a fun summer is spent in a place that's nice and cool! Kuroe nods along, but Hinano says Kuroe doesn't have to force herself to be like Emiri - for example, Hinano imagines a fun summer to be watching fireworks side by side with that special someone, or running in the ocean together... Rika remarks these sound an awful lot like things you'd do on a date, and Hinano says that's the point - an adult's ideal summer is different from a kid's!

Rika gets excited, asking if Hinano's visited [https://jw-webmagazine.com/tokyo-night-pool-best-hotel-pools-in-tokyo-2019-summer-32a4b65f1b3d/ a night pool] as well, and Hinano stammers out a little "O-of course I have! It's super glittery, yeah?" Rika is over the moon she really wants to go there - it looks amazing, you can't get sunburned at night, and they have girls-only nights, too! Emiri joins in, saying they're super shiny and have cool pool toys like flamingo or unicorn floats, and even Ren murmurs that she'd like to visit with her friends, too. Rika says she wants a selfie with all her pals on a big floatie together, and Hinano chuckles, saying she'll take them all next time. But Emiri wonders if that would be possible - the park has a curfew of 7 PM for little kids, after all!

Hinano, of course, wails about being a grown woman, which has Kuroe murmur in response, and Emiri's like "Oh yeah, you weren't expecting that, were you, Kuropi?" The nickname surprises Kuroe, but she doesn't object to keeping it. Emiri sets her sights on Ren next, clamoring for Ren to talk about what her idea of a fun summer is, too!

As that goes on, Kuroe ponders her situation. Between Hinano, Rika, and Emiri, this is a very chatty group, and she can't really keep up with things - she knows she'd get exhausted hanging out with them for too much time. She eyes Ren, wondering and worrying a little over whether she's being taken advantage of by these outgoing, socially dominant girls...

But while the other girls gab and Kuroe ruminates, Ren asks if Kuroe is feeling okay - she seems to sympathize with Kuroe and understands that the gyarus can be much for some people at times, and asks if Kuroe is feeling tired out. Kuroe quickly reassures her, saying she's fine, and feeling a bit guilty for making Ren worry. Before they can chat further, though, the girls pipe up again - there's a local summer festival happening right now, and this is their one chance to go - and it's as good a guarantee of a fun summer vacation as any!

As soon as Kuroe arrives, however, she's instantly made uncomfortable: the place is packed and very noisy. Even so, she wants to make the best of the occasion. She observes the others in the group having fun, like Rika feeding Ren an extra chocolate banana she won, or Hinano wrangling Emiri from running off alone into the crowd, though Emiri does drag Kuroe through some various fun and games, like yo-yo fishing. Still, it's mostly Hinano and Emiri who participate in the games.

Ultimately, what catches Kuroe's eye is a nearby takoyaki stand - which she stares at, lost in thought, for quite some time. The cook expects Kuroe to buy something, which leaves her reeling for a way to respond, but Rika steps in and buys one to share. When Kuroe says she'll pay Rika for it, Rika waves her off, saying she and Ren wanted to try one together, so they can all split it. Around this point, though, Rika seems to notice Kuroe's withdrawn mood, and tries to talk to Kuroe about it - but Emiri comes barging in, shouting Rika's name. Emiri's happy to see Kuroe, too, saying she lost track of Kuroe in all the shenanigans, and was busy looking for her everywhere!

Emiri cuts to the chase - has Kuroe found the fun summer holiday she's been looking for? Kuroe says she's not exactly sure, so Emiri whisks her off into yet more games. Kuroe thinks to herself that they're all being so nice to her, but...she just feels so awkward here. She just can't find a place here. In fact, she might've been better off staying home.

Eventually, the summer festival comes to a close - Emiri is despondent, there was still so much she wanted to do! But Ren says they'll have more chances; Emiri realizes yeah, there'll be lots of summer festivals - maybe next time, they can do a yukata one! Rika gets excited for that, too. Emiri says they'll do it with Kuropi, too - but Kuroe says, ah, actually, she doesn't often visit Kamihama, so...

It's a polite way of trying to dodge the issue, but Rika knows what's really up - she asks if Kuroe doesn't do well in noisy, crowded events like this? Kuroe stammers in response, and Rika apologizes for them dragging her into this. Emiri's thrown off by all this - were they actually causing more harm than good for Kuroe? Kuroe admits she doesn't enjoy these kinds of things - and adds that she found it all...kind of annoying, too.

There's an awkward pause, and Kuroe thinks she's really stepped in it this time, and tries to excuse herself, but Hinano wonders aloud if Kuroe's the type who would rather have friends with whom she shares common interests or hobbies? Kuroe says she doesn't really know, actually... Hinano hands off an ad for an upcoming event featuring a bunch of various cafes - board game cafes, movies, maids, even a fairy tale-themed one, and Hinano adds there'll be magical girls there, too - people of all different natures. She says a kohai of hers will be attending, and says if Kuroe's interested in going, she can meet with the kohai there, too.

In truth, though...Kuroe doesn't want to go out again. But she's worried she'll make things even more awkward if she says no. And perhaps there's hope for this event, too...so she agrees, deciding to give it a shot.

In Kuroe's next outing (as she relays in her diary/memoir), she went to the local swimming pool/waterpark hosting that cafe event. She writes that their meetup spot was (for some reason) near a maid cafe stop; there, Kuroe was...surprised by what she saw. She comes in, seeing maids doing various cutesy acts, female customers squeeing over Nagitan - Kuroe is in awe, wondering how someone can adore others, like these maids, so much. It makes her a little...envious, really. And with how noisy it is, well...she's worried she won't fit in here, either.

She tries to muster herself up to visit the fairy tale cafe spot, but...she already feels exhausted. She's about to duck out until she quite literally runs headlong into Hinano's kohai - who turns out to be Ryo. After introductions, Ryo wonders if Kuroe happened to be in the Magius as well; when Kuroe admits such, Ryo introduces herself as a former Feather, too - she recognized Kuroe's voice!

So they get down to business - Kuroe needs a fun summer holiday, right? No problem - Ryo will help introduce her to some fun people to meet. For their first stop, they visit Ikumi, another fellow former Feather - and Sakurako is here, too! [[Eternal_Sakura_(Swimsuit_ver.)#Side_Story|She enters the scene by trying to spook Ryo, but Ryo isn't startled at all.]] After getting caught up on things, Sakurako says a fun summer vacation will be easy. [[Magia_Record_Story_Welcome_to_Uwasa_Aquarium!_~_Entrust_Your_Memories_to_the_Tamatebako|She just needs to conjure up the Uwasa Aquarium, and]] - no, Ryo says, the aquarium is strictly forbidden! Kuroe, looking at Sakurako, wonders if she's a magical girl, too...

Before she gets an answer to that, Karin and Kanagi enter the scene. Ikumi asks if Kanagi's cafe is done for the day, but no, Karin just wanted to visit Ikumi, and Kanagi volunteered to be her escort. Kanagi has to return to the shop right after this, and asks Ikumi to keep an eye on Karin - Ikumi says of course (and Karin pouts that Kanagi sounds like she's dropping off Karin at a daycare center). Karin wishes Kanagi well as the latter heads back to work, and settles down to chat with Ikumi - until her eyes land on Kuroe.

Karin quickly introduces herself and gets the lowdown on Kuroe; she's excited to meet a magical girl from outside of town! For her idea of a fun summer, Karin introduces Kuroe to Magical Kirin with much gusto, saying the manga just released a special summer issue! Still, Ryo and Ikumi point out that if Kuroe goes with Karin's idea, Kuroe would have to spend the entire summer reading Magical Kirin alone, just to get an idea of what a fun summer could be.

Sakurako points out that she's read several volumes of Kirin since Nemu had them in e-book format, and wondered if it really does take most people a long time to read stories. Yes indeed, Ryou says; Sakurako is just (literally) built different from everyone else. The Kirin volumes are very long works - but that's one part out of many of why Karin loves the series so much. It's practically her Bible!

Kuroe observes Karin's fangirling, still in awe that someone can be so passionate about another person or thing - just seeing Karin fangirling over Kirin is piquing Kuroe's interest as well. Since Karin has a copy of Kirin on hand anyway, she starts showing it off to everyone, talking about how the iridescent colors or composition really capture the atmosphere of summer; Ryo gets really into it from a photographer's perspective, too, and Ikumi says she'd like to be in a photo with a background like the ones the Kirin artist draws - Ryo says she'll try taking one of Ikumi like that sometime.

The girls turn to Kuroe, wondering about what photo she'd look good in, too - something with sparklers, with a beautiful, delicate atmosphere. Karin says Kuroe's got the vibe of the archetypical cool mysterious figure (ex. the green/black ranger) who joins the heroes later in the story, and Ikumi agrees wholeheartedly, which flusters Kuroe a bit.

As the girls talk about the art and come up with ideas for new photo compositions for Ryo, Kuroe puts together that Ryo is a photographer, and that this is an interesting dynamic - all these girls have completely different hobbies, but were able to come together, relate to each other, and synthesize their ideas through Magical Kirin. And Kuroe thinks it's a little weird...but a little fun, too.

On that note, Ikumi asks if Kuroe has any hobbies herself. Karin suddenly realizes she's been dominating the whole conversation and apologizes, but Kuroe says no, it was fun listening to her. But as for her hobbies...well, Kuroe likes to read. Sakurako smiles and immediately says she's just like Nemu in that regard. Karin says she likes reading comic books herself, so they're alike in that regard! Kuroe says yeah, maybe they are.

When Ryou asks what books Kuroe likes reading, Kuroe says a lot - she's a fan of [[Kenji_Miyazawa_and_Magia_Record|Kenji Miyazawa]], for instance. Karin recognizes the name, though hasn't read many of his stories - but when Kuroe brings up The Restaurant of Many Orders, Karin definitely knows that one, mentioning how chilling it is. Karin says there's lots of bookworms she knows - [[Kushu_Irina|Kushu]] is big on Miyazawa, too, and Karin also brings up [[Kako_Natsume|Kako]], saying they all gotta hang out together sometime!

Ikumi suggests they all meet up at her maid cafe, though Ryo says Shizuku's coffee shop might be a more suitable atmosphere for bookworms. Ikumi says yeah, that's true - it's quieter there. Ryo also says the blended coffee is excellent...which is great, given that's what Ryo can afford. Karin is feeling really peppy - they'll have a magical girl bookworm club (adding that everyone she's mentioned is a magical girl as well). And Kuroe's seeing potential, here - she expects she might be able to get especially along with Ryo and Ikumi, as kindred spirits. And Karin, too, seems to be at around Kuroe's power level, so Kuroe wouldn't be left in the dust by a bigger, badder magical girl... And as Magical Girls, their situations are likely very similar... And if a Witch appears, they can all take it down together.

Kuroe closes her eyes for a second to absorb all this, then thinks, maybe...she can be friends with these girls. And maybe, just maybe, she'll have a fun summer vacation with them, too.

But that doesn't change the outcome to all this - Kuroe still doesn't know what makes a fun summer holiday, does she? Unfortunately, the girls don't really know what makes summer particularly distinct, either - Sakurako has fun just being with Nemu, while Ryo's always after the next hot story no matter what season it is. Ikumi, too, is always focused on making people smile all throughout the year...and she's happiest when she makes others happy.

So yeah, Kuroe's kind of up a creek here...but Karin is determined to help Kuroe have a fun vacation! In fact, she already has an idea - as part of their book club, they can all recommend a favorite book for the others to read! She thinks it'd be a great way of getting to know other people, and it'd be fun, too! To start with, Karin decides she'll give Kuroe a copy of Magical Kirin, certain that Kuroe will like it, too.

Kuroe, though, reflects on what she's seen today - the fangirls for Kanagi and the maids in general, Karin's passion for Kirin... Kuroe fears that she won't love Kirin with the level of passion that these other girls do; she doesn't think she has the temperament to fangirl like that. And if Kuroe doesn't like it...will that cause a rift between her and these girls, too? If she doesn't like what they like, she feels like it'd be hard to actually be friends with them...

The girls notice Kuroe's gone quiet; when they ask what's up, Kuroe says she's left her books at home, so they can do this some other time...and says she has to go home immediately. Overwhelmed as she is, Kuroe practically flees the scene.

And once again, she laments the situation - these were good, well-meaning girls, people she might've been able to relate to on many levels...but in her haste to bail out, she forgot to get everyone's contact info. But...she tells herself, it's fine... She doesn't fit in anywhere, and that's fine. She doesn't need or want to fit in...and...surely, she'll be fine on her own, right...?

In the final act, in Kuroe's diary, she relays that at this point in summer, everyone around her was having their own plans with their friends that she watched from afar. It was all in another world to her, where she would never belong, and she spent much of her summer nose-deep in books.

At some point, when she couldn't track down a book she was curious about, she returned to Kamihama to look for it - and along the way, stopped by a coffee shop, the one Ryo and the others had recommended. Sure enough, it's just as those girls said - it's a quiet, peaceful place, and she likes it a lot. While she thought reading books at home would be the most relaxing place to do it, this might not be so bad, either.

Kuroe gets her blended coffee, and unintentionally murmurs aloud how delicious it is - Shizuku thanks her, pleased to hear that from a first-time customer. Kuroe's a little flustered to have spoken aloud without realizing it, but Shizuku chuckles, calm as always. She asks about the book Kuroe is reading - Shizuku's only just started on the first few pages of it herself, but relates to the protagonist's family owning a coffee shop as well.

Kuroe asks more about what books Shizuku likes - as expected, while Shizuku isn't much of a reader, she does like books related to travel. From there, they get onto introducing themselves. Kuroe explains how someone recommended this place to her - someone who only drinks the blended coffee - and Shizuku quickly connects the dots, recognizing Kuroe as someone Ryo's talked about, that Kuroe's the former Black Feather. Ryo never mentioned Kuroe's name, which is why it took Shizuku this long to figure out who Kuroe was. Kuroe remarks Shizuku must be good friends with Ryo, but Shizuku says not exactly; it's just Ryo and Ikumi saved her life a while ago.

A customer comes and Shizuku excuses herself from the conversation. Kuroe gathers that Shizuku must be a former Feather as well - and notes that Shizuku is, by far, the easiest person to talk with so far. They do seem very similar, even from the quick conversation they've had...

By Kuroe's estimation, Shizuku seems to be a very weak Magical Girl, just like Kuroe - who joined the Magius to find someone to save her. She thought Shizuku was someone who never fit in anywhere, or tried to fit in, either - but, in narrative form, Kuroe says that was a big mistaken assumption to make.

Because as Kuroe moves to leave the store, who enters but Ayaka herself. With how loud and boisterous Ayaka is, Kuroe instantly expects Shizuku to be annoyed, too, but no, it becomes quickly apparent that they're friends - Ayaka wheedles Shizuku into ducking out of work early to attend a comedy show. After some token resistance, and Ayaka attempting to literally drag Shizuku away, they go off - with Shizuku having a little smile on her face.

Kuroe, finally, feels disappointment - she finally thought she found someone just like her, but...no, Shizuku has fun summer plans, too. Really, though, it was seeing Shizuku happy and not annoyed about Ayaka that made Kuroe feel bitter - and that made Kuroe feel even worse about herself, that not only did she not fit in with anyone, she was a terrible person for wanting everyone to be just as miserable as her. It's envy in its rawest form - she's envious that Shizuku has someone who will take her by the hand and take her away - and Kuroe does not.

The noise around her on the way home bothers Kuroe even more than ever, what with everyone enjoying themselves. She put on her headphones and turned on some music - which shuffled to a summer-themed song, which is just the finishing touch on Kuroe's bad day.

Looking upon everyone, she realizes what's been going on with herself - she's been acting cool and aloof, telling herself she doesn't get the big deal about summer or why people are so excited for it. But really, she was denying her own situation - that she was envious of how other people could enjoy themselves the way they could. She realizes it's like the fable of the Fox and the Grapes - the fox couldn't get the grapes, so he stormed off, muttering about how the grapes must be sour, anyway... Kuroe feels like that fox now - acting above it all, but really just an envious, bitter loser.

She reflects on all the people she's met in Kamihama recently - all these people trying to reach out to her and give her a fun vacation, who cared about her, someone so unlike them, and tried to offer alternatives and options to better suit her... People kept on reaching their hands out to her, over and over and over again - but Kuroe could not bring herself to reach back. She berates herself - if only she'd taken that hand, if only's she'd taken that step, would things be different now...?

But there's no point in wondering. She wasn't and isn't capable of taking a hand or a step forward - because she just doesn't know how to do it.

To cap it off, she gets a text from her brother again, asking about helping out at the beach house. At this point, Kuroe wants to shut him down, but...she feared what would happen if she said "no" again at this point, that she might be replaced by him altogether. And so she goes.

It's hell, still - everyone is so happy and smiling, and she just can't be like them. Seeing them makes her think that the grapes really are sweet - and as unreachable as ever. She thinks - Tamaki would have been able to find a way to get those grapes. She wouldn't have been so bothered by all these things. Kuroe doesn't know how Iroha does it - just that she does.

To while away the time, Kuroe falls into a fantasy, of someone on a proverbial white horse to come galloping in and declare "let's be friends," "let's have a fun summer vacation ever", someone who would force her to take that step forward...and what little did she expect that very person would come in. Yes, Iroha herself - [[Magia_Record_Story_Seven-Coloured_Summer_Pattern_~Daily_Lives_Written_in_a_Notebook~|the story of what that entailed is in the 2022 summer event.]]

The MGS ends with Kuroe's diary one last time. The entry details that this encounter with Iroha is what turned Kuroe's summer around. Kuroe was miserable, exhausted, and had a lot to deal with - but in the end, she can now look back and say she had fun. She got into a lot of things she never would've expected to do, that she'd never do on her own, that scared her - but she got through them anyway, realizing she didn't need to be so afraid of making mistakes. She doesn't know if her summer vacation was as fun as everyone else's...but it's definitely one she'll never forget.

...That all written down, Kuroe fears this really does read too much like a memoir written in retrospect, and not a true diary :kyokolol: Still, though, that's shortly off her mind - for now, she wants to go back to Kamihama, to meet all the people she'd encountered again - to thank them for helping her, to tell them so many things. She knows that summer will be here again before she knows it - and, perhaps for the first time in ages, she looks forward to what it will bring.

==Summary==

===Doppel Description===

The Doppel of camaraderie. Its form is a wooden doll. The master of this emotion is delighted at how her Doppel performs together with her, but also suspects that she herself may be being manipulated. This Doppel’s excellent communication skills allow it to not only interact with various people besides its master, but to captivate and befriend absolutely anyone with its comical movements. However, that friendship is proof that they’ve been bewitched by the Doppel and made easy to manipulate. Harm has apparently befallen those who befriended the Doppel in practice– being crushed by a cigar box while juggling together, for instance.

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "existence" (有) and "love" (愛) respectively.
**Together they mean "affectionate".

==Trivia==
* Urara's soul gem resembles her weapon, a yo-yo.
* The Vlastenské is a theatre in Prague that changed its name and location various times. It was the first theatre to feature exclusively Czech-language plays, and the famous actor and ballet dancer Katharina Butteau was one of the first actresses cast in this theatre.

Talk:Akari Mai

2022-06-13T11:52:06Z

Bigscarythings: /* Older brother? */

== Older brother? ==

So, is there any more information on this person? His surname is different from hers, which seems strange for an older brother (though not impossible). Is it certain that he's an older brother and not just an acquaintance whom she affectionately refers to as "older brother"? If he's definitely an older brother, is there an explanation of why he has a different surname? For example, are their parents separated, and he stayed with the father while Akari stayed with the mother? Or maybe he's married they decided to adopt his wife's surname instead of his? Maybe there are other possible situations where this kind of thing could occur too. Of course, it might be that this is all just unknown right now… ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 05:24, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

The event confirmed that he's a distant relative of Akari's; the onii-san is being used in the affectionate/not literal sense (I went ahead and corrected this on Akari's main page). People are free to check it all out, now that the first half of the event has been translated by Mochi!

==Summary==
When she transforms she becomes 16 years old, but in reality she's a Magical Girl in elementary school. She's seen as mature by her classmates, but despite her acquired knowledge and culture her tastes are still childish and her true nature is honest. When she sees her favorite Mini-Bunni, she gets so excited and her childish side comes out.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of regression. Its form is an amusement park.
The master of this emotion thinks of it as a place where she can return to the mindset of a child, with nobody around to watch her as she does so.
This Doppel has the power to draw out the childlike wonder that sleeps deep within a person’s heart. Those who it touches will become able to enjoy even childish pastimes, and be released from any and all stress.
However, those who play with it and become its captive will begin to perceive the Doppel’s mouth as the entrance to paradise, and anyone who sets foot inside can never find their way back out.
But it still has a maximum park capacity, so if too many people wander into its mouth, it’s said that the Doppel will sometimes spit them back out from the strain.

==Summary==

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of perpetuity. Its form is a portrait. The master of this emotion holds mixed feelings towards her Doppel: though she feels a mysterious sense of kinship with it, she’s also frightened by the sense that her heart could be laid bare by looking directly at it. The Doppel responds by putting its master to sleep within the sphere connected to its body, in order to free her from the emotions that so vex her. While she sleeps, it attempts to fulfill her desires by stamping out each and every foe that refuses to understand her. Incidentally, the Doppel’s body is also a mere makeshift form projected from its master’s heart, and changes shape based on her own thoughts. It currently takes the form of a lovelorn wolf seeking its mate. The makeshift form will repeatedly regenerate as long as the sphere and ring remain intact, so caution is a must.

==Abilities==
As a result of her wish, the consciousness or soul of her boyfriend now resides in her mind after he committed suicide, allowing them to mentally communicate. In [[Magia_Record_Another_Story_Part_2_Chapter_8|Arc 2 Another Story Chapter 8]], Kanagi confirms his presence, indicating that he is not an illusion or delusion on Himena's part.

Himena's unique magic allows her to "synthesize" or "fuse" the unique magic of other Magical Girls for a limited time (approximately one hour) by making physical contact with each one involved. She can use this ability to transfer one Magical Girl's unique magic to another, such as when she transferred [[Hagumu Azumi|Hagumu Azumi's]] increased strength against Witches to [[Shigure Miyabi]]. In [[Magia_Record_Another_Story_Part_2_Chapter_7|Arc 2 Another Story Chapter 7]], she also gains the ability to synthesize magic with inanimate objects, such as [[Meiyui_Chun|Meiyui Chun's]] illusion magic to a broom.

It can thus be theorized that her wish allows her to access people's souls, not dissimilar from what [[Magic#Adjustment|Coordinators]] do. Similarly, Coordination gives Magical Girls access to the [[Magic#Connect|Connect]] ability, allowing them to share various aspects of their magic through physical contact.

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "indigo" (藍) and "house" (家) respectively.

==Trivia==
*She is the only character to use a pronoun followed by a suffix that is not her own name. In this case, it means something among the lines of "the cute me", "this cutie" or "my cute self."
*Before she was formally introduced, she was only known through her silhouette in the Arc 2 logo. Fans referred to her as "Orihime" or just "Hime" due to this silhouette before knowing her name.
**In addition, her design has some resemblance to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orihime the Legend of Orihime(織姫)], specifically her hairstyle and traditional Japanese clothing.
**Furthermore, Hiko, the boyfriend who lives in her head, is speculated by fans to be based on Hoshihiko(星彦) or Hikoboshi(彦星) from that same Japanese fairy tale.
* Her doppel is named after the Greek monster "Scylla", a legendary monster who lives on one side of a narrow channel of water opposite her counterpart Charybdis.

Magia Record Story Little Bird's Star

2022-03-28T17:41:47Z

Bigscarythings: Created page; added Part 1 summary and link to JP Youtube video

==Summary==
''The following is a summary by bigscarythings.''

===Part 1===

At the very start of Arc 1, Kuroe is on a train to Kamihama, having heard a Rumor: Come to Kamihama City. There, Magical Girls can be saved. Desperate for a solution, she decided to roll on in...when she suddenly feels a Witch's signature. A Labyrinth has engulfed the train, like it did in the anime, and Iroha is facing off against the witch - but unlike the anime, Kuroe has never met Iroha before.

Kuroe is terrified...but she can't simply leave this girl to die. So she leaps out the window to try and enter the Labyrinth, but...instead, she falls, and falls, and falls, straight into Kamihama City. She's actually quite relieved that she didn't have to fight the witch, given how weak she is...but kicks herself for being just that.

In narration, she remarks she wouldn't have had to go to Kamihama City in the first place. She wonders if she can really be saved...

Sometime later, between Arc 1 Chapters 5 and 6, Kuroe and some other anonymous Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness - a group of them were being tailed by a Witch while they were delivering a parcel from Mitama's shop, and a White Feather had to bail them out.The Black Feathers feel bad that they're not as strong as the White Feathers - one girl remarks that if she were as strong as they were, she wouldn't have needed to join the Magius in the first place. She remarks that the duty of Black Feathers is to protect the Rumors...but how can they do that, especially against someone like Yachiyo Nanami?

Kuroe asks who that is; another girl says she's an experienced magical girl on Mifuyu's level who's been slaying Rumors; Kuroe recognizes the latter point. Yachiyo and the other powerful magical girls live on a completely different level than the weaklings - they figure that to a girl like Yachiyo, they might as well not even exist. A girl says if she hadn't met Mifuyu, she'd be a Witch right now; Kuroe agrees.

In a brief flashback, we see how she and Mifuyu met - after Kuroe literally dropped into Kamihama, Mifuyu finds her while pursuing the witch. She makes sure Kuroe is okay, and Kuroe explains that heard the rumor about magical girls being saved in Kamihama. Mifuyu is all ears, starts explaining the Magius's pitch - and the rest is history.

Back to the present, Kuroe says she's grateful for the invitation to join the WoM, but she feels like a dead weight. The other girls agree. The Black Feathers aren't even strong enough to fight witches - how can they save others from being killed by them, or even support the strong ones in combat?

Just then, however, Mifuyu and Nemu walk out of a room, with Mifuyu shouting that their conversation isn't over, but Nemu dismisses her. She says the Rumors are her number one priority right now, and refuses to engage with Mifuyu further on their mysterious subject. Instead, Nemu goes straight up the Black Feathers with a request for their assistance. Kuroe says she's unsure if girls as weak as them can help, but Nemu insists that they are the only ones who can do so.

The girls, yearning for the chance to be useful, instantly take the opportunity without hearing another word. Kuroe is quiet all the while; Nemu turns and asks her personally, and Kuroe hesitantly agrees, saying if there's something she can actually do, then she'll do it. Nemu thanks them all, and explains that she needs their help to investigate the Rumors. In the background, however, Mifuyu seems disappointed, just closing her eyes and saying nothing.

Nemu explains further that she wants the girls to investigate a rumor - something like "The Uwasa of the Jealous Coward". Kuroe recaps that Rumors collect human emotional energy, and is concerned that people will be killed as a result. Nemu explains that according to folklore, people who committed suicide due to the tragedy of their situation turned into grudges and cursed the living (think yokai). Nemu based the Uwasa on this idea, but in her version, she has it so that those who fall under the Rumor's curse will have their energy drained and fall unconscious, but won't die.

Kuroe is still hesitant, but seems more okay with this. In any case, Nemu asks the girls to check on the Rumor and make sure it's working as intended. The Black Feathers are worried about doing this work on their own, but Nemu assures them that she will accompany them, since the Rumors appear only under special circumstances. Mifuyu, still looking worried, cries out for the Feathers to be careful as they all depart.

In downtown Kamihama, pedestrians around them chat about their day-to-day lives. Kuroe quietly watches them go as she passes by, wondering if she'd ever had conversations like these before becoming a magical girl...but in a flashback, we see her in the gym room in the evening, looking depressed and being silent. In the present, she remarks she can't remember.

In an underground area (kind of a subway-looking place), Nemu and the feathers struggle with their mission - there's no sign of the Rumor, even though Nemu notes that a gathering of a lot of students should have made it easier for it to manifest. Kuroe still angsts about how she can't fight witches despite being a magical girl, and remarks aloud that perhaps it's impossible for the Black Feathers to be of use. The others agree, and start asking if they can leave - they have lessons to attend to, or they live out of town, or their parents will worry if they don't start heading home soon... Nemu says in that case, she doesn't mind, and dismisses them.

Kuroe, however, stays. Nemu asks if she's alright; Kuroe says yes, saying there'll be no problems if she's home late. But all this tears her up even more - unlike her, those girls have normal lives despite being magical girls as well. She wonders if maybe she's the only one who can't be normal anymore...

Out loud, she brings herself to say something like "Good for them" - and in that moment, the Uwasa Labyrinth manifests, much to Nemu's surprise, and they hear the shrieks of the departing Black Feathers.

The Feathers shake a bit, and then collapse; Kuroe asks what happened to them. But Nemu, rather than being horrified, falls into a smile - the Rumor is a success. Abruptly, their surroundings revert turn to normal, and the Feathers are alright, but still unconscious. Nemu says she'll call some other Feathers to help manage things here, but asks that Kuroe stay behind to watch over them in the meantime. Kuroe says she will, but asks for an explanation of what just happened. Nemu simply explains that the conditions fo the Uwasa of the Jealosu Coward were fulfilled, and so the girls were struck unconscious by its curse. Nemu says the rules for its appearance work exactly as planned, and has verified its effects on its surroundings. Today's investigation is complete.

Kuroe doesn't like this - the girls were attacked by a Rumor; will they really be okay? Nemu says they will be - they just need some rest and they'll most likely recover. And even if they're out of commission for longer than that...well, the operational impact will be negligible. Kuroe, to herself, realizes that she and the other Black Feathers are useless to the WoM after all...

Nemu, forging onward, immediately tasks Kuroe with investigating more rumors througout the city, starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests - didn't Nemu just say that the investigation was complete? Nemu repeats that the investigation was complete for *today.* Kuroe tries to refuse, saying she's absolutely clueless about the rumors - she hadn't even seen one with her own eyes until just now - but Nemu assures her that no knowledge of them is necessary for investigation. She also says that if anyone intervenes with the Rumor, Kuroe must protect it. Kuroe thinks back to what she heard about Yachiyo Nanami, and is appalled - she can't even fight a witch; how can she fight other magical girls?!

But Nemu says that Kuroe has the "aptitude," which baffles Kuroe, but Nemu keeps paving over her, saying that she'll assign some White Feathers to Kuroe since the latter is so concerned. With that, Nemu takes her leave before Kuroe can say anything else. Kuroe glances over her friends, and sighs, wondering what she's gotten herself into...

The next day in Fendt Hope, the robed-up Amane twins meet up with Kuroe, explaining that Nemu sent them to join her. Kuroe stiffly thanks them both; Tsukuyo asks if she's uncomfortable, but Kuroe explains she's just overwhelmed by all this stuff happening that she doesn't understand. Tsukasa cajoles her to pull herself together; Nemu asked them to do this, so they'll do it! Tsukuyo agrees, saying Kuroe has nothing to worry about - they'll back her up.

Kuroe thinks to herself that it's true - the White Feathers truly are confident and dependable. Tsukasa asks where they should start investigating, but Kuroe...has no clue. All she knows is that Nemu said it's easier to find rumors where many people gather; but all the same, yesterday, the rumor appeared in a desolate area. The twins decide to assume Nemu was being truthful, and decide to explore areas close to schools.

Later that morning, in downtown Kamihama, the girls have no luck finding one whit of the Rumors. They retreat to the same subway-ish area to regroup. Tsukuyo speculates that there must be other conditions in play, then. Tsukasa asks where Kuroe surveyed the other day; Kuroe says it was just this section of Sakae. In that case, Tsukasa figures they'll have better luck looking somewhere else.

This concerns Kuroe - if Rumors aren't just confined to one ward, but rather appear everywhere in Kamihama, isn't that dangerous? She thinks back to what happened to her friends the other day - she doesn't like the notion of making others suffer, even if it's not directly by her own hands. Tsukuyo asks what's up; Kuroe says nothing, and they move out.

Next, they head over to Hokuyo Ward, with all its stately houses. Kuroe is surprised at how few people are present, but Tsukuyo explains that the students here typically take cars or buses to school rather than walking. Kuroe apologizes for her confusion, saying she's an outsider. Tsukasa tells her not to worry about it, then says they'll do some investigating here before moving onto another location. Just then, however, Kuroe spots a poster for a missing cat - she wonders if she can help find it...

But the twins feel a sudden spike of magic, instantly recognizing it as Yachiyo's. Kuroe panics, and the trio agree to run for it. They flee into the woods, but Kuroe stumbles over a gnarled tree root, giving the Mikazuki quintet a chance to catch up. Yachiyo and Iroha say they just want to ask some questions; Iroha especially, who wants to ask if they know a girl named Nemu Hiiragi. The twins refuse to say anything - and they're very busy right now, so they mustn't be distracted, either! Felicia takes it to mean that the twins are up to no good, though the twins valiantly try and fail to convince her otherwise.

[[File:Memoria_1744.jpg|500px|thumb|right]]

Sana says that even if the Amanes aren't up to something nefarious, Mikazuki can't just turn a blind eye to WoM activity, and Tsuruno squares up to fight. Tsukuyo says it's very rude of them to jump to violence as the answer, but if they're left with no other choice, then so be it - the twins cast aside their robes! Kuroe gives in to all the excitement around her and throws off her robe, too; Tsukasa's like "Wait, why did you just do that?!" and Kuroe's like "Because you just did?!" As they bicker, Tsuruno seizes the advantage and targets Kuroe, and that gives the twins the chance to set up their flute binding. But Yachiyo instantly knows what's up and orders Tsuruno and Felicia to target the twins, throwing the duo off their groove.

The twins are knocked onto the ground, with Kuroe just as helpless on her two feet. The twins panic about what they should do, and realize there's only one thing they ''can'' do: retreat! The twins implore Kuroe to run, too, as Tsuruno and Felicia chase after them. Alas, Kuroe isn't fast enough, and gets cornered by the remaining Mikazuki girls, who are eager to start questioning her.

Kuroe cowers before Yachiyo's intimidating presence, but Iroha steps in to ask the first question - does Kuroe know Nemu? Kuroe, stammering, insists that she doesn't. Yachiyo asks what they were doing in Hokuyo, then. Kuroe insists she knows nothing - she's just a Black Feather! She's nothing! This only angers Yachiyo further - Kuroe knows nothing about what the Magius are doing, but blindly follows their orders anyway? Why is Kuroe even there to begin with?

Kuroe stammers more - in her thoughts, she says she wants to be saved - that if she were strong like Yachiyo, she wouldn't need to have joined the Magius - and out loud, asks Yachiyo in turn how someone on a level like her could possibly understand where Kuroe is coming from...

And in that moment, the Uwasa labyrinth manifests one more, this time with a shadow copy of Kuroe appearing with it. Kuroe's shadow self effortlessly blasts aside Yachiyo, the the labyrinth despwans shortly afterwards. Yachiyo gets back up to her feet, only angered further - Black Feathers can control Rumors, now? Kuroe stammers, wide-eyed, saying he had no clue this was going to happen; Yachiyo believes she's bluffing, and Kuroe is helpless to respond, left to wonder what on earth just happened...

A little while later, Tsuruno and Felicia return without success in their hunt - the Amanes escaped. Still, Tsuruno observes that the Amanes seemed very well-acquainted with the area, and seemed to know where they wre going, which means they must know this area quite well... Felicia, whose eyes land on Kuroe, figures they must've been able to catch Kuroe because she was much more unskilled than the Amanes. This stings Kuroe - she was a dead weight on the White Feathers again :asuka:

Yachiyo explains to Tsuruno and Felicia that they had tried asking the feather about Nemu, but to no avail - in fact, she even attacked them with a Rumor! Which leaves the question of what they should do now...

Yachiyo decides they'll carry on as planned. When Sana asks what exactly they'll do about Kuroe, Yachiyo says they'll take her with her to surveil her. While this is basically kidnapping, Tsuruno says given Kuroe's control over the rumors, they can't just leave her to her own business. But Felicia is mad - she refuses to go camping with the enemy! Yachiyo says they're just keeping her around for a little while, and asks Felicia to cool her jets.

Kuroe is baffled - what's this about camping? - but Iroha explains that a campground recently opened up in this area. Yachiyo's manager got them a free trip for the night, and at Kuroe's confusion over that, she explains that Yachiyo is an agency model, hence the manager. Yachiyo gripes that "Tamaki" doesn't have to go into that level of detail...

In any case, the girls arrive at the campsite; Yachiyo asks them all to stay there while she goes to greet the owner. Meanwhile, Kuroe tries to telepathically contact the Amanes...but to no success. Iroha guiltily notices Kuroe feeling awkward, and scoots over to introduce herself, asking for Kuroe's name. Kuroe shrinks, mumbling for Iroha to leave her alone. Felicia snaps at her, but Tsuruno reins her in, saying that Felicia wouldn't be very happy if she was being bugged by a stranger, too, right? Kuroe remains silent, and Iroha takes a deep breath, and asks if Kuroe would like to join them and spend the night.

Kuroe just blurts out "What?" Sana, too, says this is all quite sudden. Iroha apologizes, but says she thinks it'd be good for them to get to know their fellow magical girls. And besides, the point of camping is to disrupt your usual routine - she's heard camping is a good place for self-reflection while you're cut off from the world, and thinks it'd be a chance to Kuroe to really consider why she's with the Magius in the first place, given how dangerous it is... To that, Kuroe tells Iroha to mind her own business. Iroha backs down, apologizing, and says Kuroe must have had a reason for joining.

Yachiyo returns shortly afterwards, having secured the campground owner's permission, and having thought it over, has decided that Kuroe will be joining them after all. She's decided that she can't have Kuroe unleashing that Uwasa in town. So until Kuroe starts explaining what's going on, she's going to be stuck with them. Iroha puts on a smile, saying they'll all do their best to make sure Kuroe has a good time - but that's going to be hard, given that poor Kuroe is not happy with this situation one bit.

The camping trip officially begins, stating with a tutorial from the guy who owns the campgrounds. Kuroe is like "oh god what am I supposed to do", but luckily, she receives contact from the Amanes! They hadn't been able to reach her, either, so they slipped back into the area, only to find that Kuroe is being held hostage by Mikazuki. The Amanes apologize for leaving Kuroe behind; Kuroe says it's fine, she's just grateful for their help.

Simply put, the twins don't stand a chance of fighting off all of Mikazuki at once, and they have no strategy at hand that'll work around them. They instead decide they'll go ask Nemu to provide backup, but with no phone reception up in these mountains, they'll need to make the long trek all the way to Fendt Hope. They ask Kuroe to wait, saying they'll be back ASAP. Kuroe decides that to make sure she doesn't derail any plans the White Feathers come up with, she'll play along with Mikazuki for now. She mumbles "Alright..." out loud, which Iroha and Yachiyo seem to overhear - but Felicia interrupts things by telling Kuroe to quit dragging her feet and go.

Iroha asks Kuroe to help pitch the tent, with Tsuruno saying that she who doesn't work doesn't eat. Kuroe, defiant, says she doesn't want to eat, anyway - but her growling stomach suggests otherwise. Iroha, concerned, asks Kuroe again to help, even if only a little, but Kuroe, thinking to herself, says it's awkward to work together with a total stranger...

Iroha seems to pick up on this and says yes, this must be very awkward, but...maybe she and Kuroe can gather some wood for the fire together? Yachiyo scolds Tamaki for being so soft on Kuroe, but Iroha says she wants to get to know Kuroe better. But finally, Kuroe agrees to go with Iroha...thinking to herself that if it's just her and Iroha, she has a better chance of escaping...

Iroha finds a spot deep in the woods to start gathering. Kuroe doubts they'll be able to gather much with just the two of them, but Iroha clarifies that they already have the logs prepared - they're just here for the kindling. Kuroe remarks that Iroha knows a lot, but Iroha just says she's just parroting what the owner said earlier; Kuroe kicks herself for not listening back then. Iroha, sensing the awkward atmosphere, decides they should just start looking.

After an even more awkward silence, Iroha asks if Kuroe could at least tell her name. But Kuroe still does not speak, though the awkwardness is getting to her, too. In the meantime, Iroha picks up some twigs, remarking that she hadn't collected sticks like this since she was a kid - she's missed those days gone by. Kuroe decides, finally, that she should start talking, too - it may help distract Iroha and create an opening to flee.

So Kuroe remarks it's been a while since she's done something like this, too. Iroha startles at her response; Kuroe continues by pointing out some sticks that could come in handy. As Iroha crouches to gather some, Kuroe braces herself to bolt - but Iroha shrieks, spooking Kuroe. Nothing to fear, though - Iroha just got a caterpillar on her arm and it made her freak.

Kuroe nobly flicks off the terrorizing bug; Iroha thanks her and apologizes, and Kuroe waves it off. Still, Iroha feels so embarrassed - and Kuroe realizes that unlike Yachiyo, Iroha is...just a normal girl. And finally, Kuroe says her name. Iroha is stunned - but quickly reintroduces herself, saying it's nice to meet her :rengay:

Still, Kuroe wasn't able to escape, despite having the golden opportunity to do so. They return to the campground, where the owner approves of their kindling; Iroha says it was all thanks to Kuroe, which flusters the latter some.

Meanwhile, Felicia and Yachiyo have the real Newbie Camping Experience, which means they're having a rough time setting up the tent :sakurakoproud: Yachiyo insists she followed the instructions to a tee, which makes Tsuruno wonder if Yachiyo is bad at reading manuals (and Yachiyo's like "no! the illustrations are just hard to read!!!") Felicia says they should just wing it without the guide and get it done already. Kuroe thinks pitching a tent is a quite simple process to her, really - but it does mean Yachiyo has weaknesses, and isn't a completely untouchable god after all.

The owner figures it's time for someone to help FeliYachi with the tent, so Kuroe pipes up, saying the duo's pitched the tent inside-out, which is why the instructions don't work. She also adds that they should move it further away from the river. The girls are surprised; Iroha asks if Kuroe has done this before. Kuroe says she was taught in the past - and in her mind, elaborates that she was taught such by the WoM during their outdoor training camps. She remembers having to cook a boatload of food...

In the meantime, Felicia reviews the manual again and confirms Kuroe's assessment, calling her by name, since Iroha had used it earlier. Kuroe is thrown off, but Felicia's like "I mean, it's your name, right?" and Kuroe admits that yes, it is. Still, she never thought her experience as a Black Feather would come in handy...

Shortly after that, the tent is ready; the girls thank Kuroe for her help. Next, they sit down to cook lunch together, and Iroha asks if Kuroe can help them with that, too. Given that there's no sign of the Amanes yet, Kuroe says yes.

Lunch turns out to be kebabs! Kuroe instructs them to keep the meat and vegetables separated by alternating them on the skewer. Tsuruno praises Kuroe for knowing her stuff (Kuroe is bothered at being called by name again), and tries recruiting her for Banbanzai - but Yachiyo dunks on her a bit, asking if Banbanzai is active enough to need another chef.

Still, Felicia can hardly contain herself, asking if they can have a BBQ dinner at Mikazuki sometime! (Sana notes that Felicia must want a BBQ just for all the meat, and Felicia's like "Yeah, just meat'll be fine!") Iroha says if they do have that BBQ party, they'll be sure to invite Kuroe, too. Kuroe says she'd rather have takoyaki than just meat...but Iroha insists a takoyaki party will be fine, too, and Kuroe doesn't really know what to say.

Kuroe realizes she's been putting down her guard, and urges herself to stay sharp - she's being held captive by them, after all, and shouldn't get sucked into the warm atmosphere...

Still, it's grilling time! (surely it's foreshadowing for the Juri & Ranka (BBQ ver.) alt) Once everything's cooked up, the girls tuck in, enjoying the atmosphere and the tasty food. Kuroe glances aside and sees the lost cat from the poster earlier, with some folks trying to catch it as it slips out of their reach once more. Kuroe thinks to herself that the cat is scared - they shouldn't chase it, but let it approach on its own terms...

As they eat, Yachiyo mentions that the owner said the waterfall here is a kind of power spot - drinking from it brings you luck. Yachiyo meant to make tea with the water to finish off their meal, but didn't have the chance to bring the water, so Kuroe offers to fetch it instead - but Yachiyo instantly knows what's happening, and warns Kuroe not to run. Kuroe kicks herself for being so obvious, as Iroha offers to accompany Kuroe again, grabbing a canteen. Kuroe realizes that now that the girls know her intent, she can't try fleeing again...so all she can do is keep her head down and go with the flow.

And so she does...for perhaps a little too long. As Kuroe and Iroha wander the woods, Kuroe observes they've been walking in circles for some time, and Iroha admits they're lost - she tried using a map sketched out by Yachiyo, but she can't follow it. Kuroe figures they'll have to navigate their way back to the campsite, but Iroha says Kuroe must be exhausted - so she'll go back alone and get clear directions. Kuroe, acting on instinct, takes off after Iroha, knowing that if Iroha's lost now, she sure as heck isn't making it back to that campsite on her own!

But rather than finding Iroha, she stumbles across a young woman instead. The stranger apologizes for startling Kuroe, and reckons that she must be here for the waterfall - most people who get lost around these parts are looking for it, after all. The woman says they'll lead the way to the waterfall, having been there herself many times - and sure enough, they arrive at their destination shortly after. There's just one problem, though: people come here to gather water, but Iroha was the one carrying the canteen...

Well, nothing to it - the stranger offers an empty bottle to Kuroe. Kuroe thanks her, touched by her generosity. As she fills the bottle, she realizes she should have taken this whole opportunity to escape...

Still, Kuroe's guide offers to take Kuroe back to where she was. Kuroe thanks her, and asks if she always helps the lost when she finds them; the stranger says yes, which makes Kuroe feel guilty again for being so useless. But verbally, she praises the stranger, who brushes it off, saying it's no big deal, really, Kuroe is just being enthusiastic because she's being helped out.

The young woman then remarks that she wouldn't have gone to the waterfall if she didn't have problems of her own. Kuroe asks what problem can be solved by going to the waterfall, and the stranger says yes, going there solves nothing - and drinking from the waterfall doesn't really bring you any luck. But for her, it's a place where she can refresh herself, begin anew, and find the strength to try again. To her, it's very much a power spot - a place where she can heal and find herself spiritually renewed.

This gets Kuroe to ruminate on things, too - she joined the WoM to solve all her problems, but she's really done nothing to help further its goals. But what can she do? She can't do anything on her own, and she has no idea what her options are... Bitterly, she wishes she could be strong, too, just like her guide. The Uwasa Labyrinth immediately erupts again, with Kuroe's shadow self as well.

The young woman shrieks as the shadow attacks, and with that, the labyrinth vanishes as quickly as it came. The stranger is unconscious again, and Kuroe is aghast, realizing she's not helping anyone, but has hurt this woman instead - this woman, who has done nothing but help her.

Iroha comes charging onto the scene, anxious, saying she sensed an Uwasa here. She finds the unconscious young woman on the ground, wondering what happened. Desperate, Kuroe shrinks in on herself once more...and begs Iroha, at last, to help her.

==Summary==
Wife of the legendary alchemist [[wikipedia:Nicolas Flamel|Nicolas Flamel]], a Magical Girl from medieval France who has made a name for herself as a collaborator. She gave Tart (Jeanne d'Arc) and her friends magical weapons and advice in order to thwart [[Isabeau]]'s ambitions. She is an old acquaintance of [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]] and was adored by her when she was a child.

===Doppel Description===

The Doppel of alchemy. Its form is a unified god. The master of this emotion divides, refines, and synthesizes purely in accordance with her curiosity. This Doppel embodies a unified divinity born from a heart that strives to reach mysticism’s highest peak, and bears the role of a messenger who links the mortal realm with realms beyond. As such, it can request intervention from higher dimensions to aid its master in times of crisis. But because its master believes that all things in nature are part of a closed Cycle, she interprets this dimensional rift as proof that the world still holds mysteries that her wisdom cannot describe. This deepens her curiosity ever further, and she often forgets to avoid the danger as a result.

===Side Story===

Pernelle's Magical Girl Story explores her actions and mindset surrounding the events of Tart Magica in the form of a memoir. There, she states that she is a very detached, knowledge-oriented person; her scientific nature coupled with her immortality has led her to a Kyubey-like attitude in which she sees humans and the world around her as mere experimental and observational subjects. All she cared for was exploring the world and its inhabitants in a strictly efficient, rational manner. Isabeau's rise to power, however, threatened the survival of the world; its destruction would put an end to her pursuit of knowledge. While she describes her and Cube's relationship as one of complicity, they agree to work together on an experiment to overthrow Isabeau by finding and engineering a magical girl with karmic potential that could overcome Isabeau's.

All of Pernelle's actions from there were strictly to push that goal forward. With Elisa's help, she retrieves the Epee de Clovis from an obscure church where she had stashed it. The sword, associated with the founder of the kingdom that would become France, carried massive karmic weight that would further augment the magical girl they were seeking. In bestowing the sword upon Tart, Pernelle knew she was dooming Tart to a horrific fate, as Pernelle at this point in her life was well-versed with the universe's tendency to correct the balance of hope and despair. While willingly dooming an innocent, virtuous girl without hesitation is alone worthy of condemnation, Pernelle remarks that she has committed even greater sins; that if she and Cube were to reveal their knowledge to the world, it would instigate another war.

Even so, Tart was able to make the impossible possible by defeating Isabeau, and even defied her fate of becoming a Witch. She died expressing her gratitude for everything in the world, embracing all of its goods and evils without prejudice - including Pernelle herself. While Pernelle had assumed she had become much like Cube in nature and lacked a heart, she feels remorse and sorrow for the first time in ages (or possibly ever); emotions so unrecognizable to her that she needed Nicolas to remind her of what they were. In her long life, Tart was the only person who created an emotional connection with Pernelle that matched Nicolas's. Pernelle then contemplates her pursuit of knowledge, and decides to commit herself to creating the Philosopher's Stone herself (though Nicolas did have one in his possession as well, which she had been unaware of) - deciding that she, too, wants to achieve the impossible, just like Tart.

==Abilities==
Pernelle has the ability to create magical barriers. She uses them as shields and platforms. Her appearances in Magia Record demonstrate her profound defensive capabilities, [[Magia Record Story End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|such as effortlessly blocking attacks from Lapin and Minou.]] Her offensive capabilities, however, require much advance preparation, given that she is reliant upon weapon-making and casting reinforcement magic to maintain an offense.

She also displayed the power to imbue weapons with unique, powerful, and lasting magic, such as those of [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]] and [[Tart]].

She has also displayed the ability to teleport, during which she appears to fade away.

==Etymology==

* In her Magical Girl Story in Magia Record, it is revealed that Perenlle was not always known as such. Rather, it was a name she adopted for herself due to its meaning of "stone," which she relates to her pursuit of the Philosopher's Stone, and to a magical girl's Soul Gem.

==Trivia==
* Originally, Pernelle had a plain pink Live2D model similar to that of other NPCs and minor characters (such as La Hire or Baron Gilles de Rais). However, for the third Tart event [[Magia Record Story End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]], Pernelle was given a detailed Live2D model like that of other main characters.
**Her proper Live2D model is the first time Pernelle's eyes were open and colored, confirming that her iris color is gray. The location and shape of her Soul Gem has yet to be revealed.
*Along with [[Isabeau in Magia Record|Isabeau's]] Witch form/Doppel keeping her name, Pernelle's Doppel is unique in being the only one from the Tart Magica characters whose name is not a word or phrase, but rather a proper name.
**Her Doppel is named after the Hellenistic deity that is a combination of [[Wikipedia:Hermes|Hermes]], the Greek god of travel and messengers, and [[Wikipedia:Thoth|Thoth]], the Egyptian god of knowledge. He is the purported author of the Hermetica, a set of ancient texts that form the basis of Hermeticism. Their wisdom is that of both the material and spiritual worlds, dealing with the relationship between the material and the divine.
***The main body is based on Thoth, taking the form of an ibis. It wears the ankh, an Egyptian symbol of life.
***There is both a female and male Hermes protruding from the ibis' back, both wearing winged headpieces (with the masculine's helmet also resembling a bird). This references both [[Wikipedia:Hermaphroditus|Hermaphroditus]], the child of Hermes and Aphrodite that possesses both male and female anatomy, and the philosophical concept of reconciling masculinity and femininity to reach balance and enlightenment. The ibis wears Hermes' winged sandals.
****The lion and the unicorn are [https://aras.org/concordance/content/unicorn-alchemy sometimes considered] symbols of [[Wikipedia:Mercury (Mythology)|Mercury]], the Roman equivalent of Hermes, and are likely also symbolic of masculinity and femininity.
*****Pernelle's weapon, the Caduceus, is the weapon wielded by and symbol of Hermes. It was later adopted into alchemical iconography. It is commonly conflated with the similar but separate Rod of Asclepius, which is a symbol of medicine.
*****Ironically, although Pernelle and the protagonists of Tart Magica are French and the antagonists are English, the lion and unicorn together are [[Wikipedia:The Lion and the Unicorn|symbols of the United Kingdom]].
*Her Magia's name ("En to Pan") is taken from [[wikipedia:Chrysopoeia|an ancient document]] describing alchemy that depicts an illustration of an [[Wikipedia:ouroboros|ouroboros]] with the words ἕν τὸ πᾶν, hen to pān ("the all is one") in the center.
**The ouroborous is a symbol depicting a serpent eating its own tail. It is a symbol of Hermeticism and alchemy, and represents the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. In Pernelle's Magia, a giant serpent coils around the screen, dangles its tail over the enemy, and the mouth bites down on both.

==Story==
===Backstory===
Pernelle is the wife of [[wikipedia:Nicolas_Flamel|Nicholas Flamel]], the creator of the [[wikipedia:Philosopher%27s_stone|Philosopher’s Stone]] (a.k.a. the Sorceror’s Stone). She was not only his wife, but also his collaborator on many of his alchemical accomplishments.

===During ''Tart Magica''===
Pernelle first appeared in Chapter 7, as [[Riz Hawkwood|Riz]] and [[Tart]] fight off a witch inside a church with [[Melissa de Vignolles|Melissa]] watching on. As the witch aims for the girls, Pernelle places a barrier between themselves and the witch. Riz turns on Pernelle, demanding to know what happened to the people of the now-empty village. She explains that the villagers were all evacuated and assures Riz they share the same objectives and enemies. Pernelle conjures a sword, known as the Épée de Clovis, from thin air with her magic and gifts it to Tart. This sword allows Tart to channel some of her magic into the sword so she doesn’t expend so much of it in battle. After Tart destroys the witch with a single swing of her sword, Pernelle goes on to explain the sword’s connection to Tart and warns her of the dangers of her upcoming path to Orleans. She disappears before their eyes.

Pernelle would not reappear until sometime later during Corbeau’s defeat at the city of Patay, where Pernelle had conjured a seat floating in midair from where she watched the battle below with Kyubey sitting beside her. {{spoiler|After Corbeau’s death in the woods at the hands of her sister Minou,}} Pernelle appears from behind a tree to the four magical girls to inform them of the French victory. She introduces herself to Riz and Melissa and inquires as to how [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]] is doing. It seems Pernelle is also the one that designed Elisa’s magical rifle. Pernelle also relates to the girls the prophesy that has been surrounding Tart since her public appearance and subsequent victories. Despite Elisa’s doubts of the veracity of a prophesy owing to their victories, Tart also believes that it is the hard work and efforts of the French soldiers fighting to which they attribute their victories. Tart apologizes once she realizes she had raised her voice at Pernelle and asks for forgiveness, but Pernelle only insists that Tart continue to not hold back her true feelings. Pernelle disappears once more, promising they may meet again at Reims.

Pernelle was also a part of the group that helped Tart to escape from the prison cell in which Minou held her captive. According to Pernelle, they were not able to rescue Tart right away the way they had hoped due to the recovery of the other magical girls and Minou searching for them everywhere. Despite this, Tart initially insists they leave her there since she doesn’t want the troops or anyone else to lose their life over someone like her, who isn’t worth it. Elisa slaps her across the face and insists those troops are risking their lives for love of her. Pernelle asks if Tart has chosen to go forth and fight for France once more and urges her to go and fight against Isabeau while she tends to Kyubey’s wounds, injured at the hands of Minou. Minou appears with Isabeau a handful of magical girl slaves, ready to execute Tart for the crime of heresy, but Tart and the other girls escape the prison cell and attempt to fight Isabeau. Minou orders the magical girl slaves she brought with her to stop Tart before she can get near Isabeau, but despite this Tart is able to aim an attack at the French Queen. The attack goes right through her to no effect. Isabeau raises her hands and fires a beam of magic directly at her. As the dust settles, Tart looks up from behind her shield to find that Pernelle has blocked the attack with her own magic circle. Tart turns to find Kyubey standing behind her and is glad to see he's alright. Kyubey tells Tart that she may not have the power to get through to Isabeau due to the result of a wish someone made for Isabeau’s benefit.

{{spoiler|Isabeau rears up and transforms into her witch state ''Crepuscule de la Reine'' (Twilight of the Queen). Tart fights the witch queen but despite all her efforts she is unable to harm her owing to Minou’s wish. As her soul gem darkens and threatens to hatch into a grief seed, Riz’s soul gem fuses with Tart and together they are able to overcome the witch.}} In the aftermath of the battle, Pernelle offers Tart a grief seed in order to purify her soul gem. But she is interrupted by the lamentations of Minou at the loss of her mother. {{spoiler|At that moment, Minou transforms back into a normal girl and her soul gem crumbles. Pernelle provides the answers: having been created by an imperfect creator she lost her powers the moment Isabeau was destroyed.}} Tart offers herself as a prisoner in exchange for the liberty of the rest of her companions. It seems the corruption is too far gone as the grief seed does nothing to purify her soul gem. Pernelle agrees to provide transportation for the French soldiers and opens portals for them to escape through.

At Tart’s execution, Pernelle and Kyubey watch the proceedings from amidst the crowd. Pernelle knows that Tart is attempting to remove herself by sacrificing herself so she won't possibly become a witch. Kyubey finds it hard to understand since Tart wouldn't have had to endure all this suffering at the end if she simply accepted her fate. Pernelle asks Kyubey why he doesn't try to change her decision since he disagrees with her choice and would benefit greatly from her transformation into a witch. Kyubey responds that there is no deep meaning behind it. Tart worked hard and did as he asked which was to defeat Isabeau. In exchange, Kyubey is doing as she asks. He asks Pernelle if this isn't what people call an act of gratitude. Pernelle calls it a prayer, and that a prayer is a thought in one's heart towards all that is noble. Kyubey calls humans and their emotions illogical. Pernelle, Melissa and Elisa pray for their holy lady, La Pucelle as the flames begin to consume Tart. Just before the flames consume her entirely, she says, "I want to say to everything in the world...merci vraiment! Thank you!" as her soul takes on the form of a white dove that flies out of the flames.

===[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record|Magia Record]]===
[[Pernelle in Magia Record|Pernelle]] played a supporting role in the special event [[Magia Record Story The Chiming Bell that Transcends Time|The Chiming Bell that Transcends Time]]. Her role in the event is similar to that of her role in the manga, where she helps gives valuable information and guidance to Iroha and Yachiyo near the end of their quest to awaken Tart from her magical nightmare.

She later appeared in the follow-up event [[Magia Record Story Rebel of a Dawnless Land|Rebel of a Dawnless Land]] where she continued in her support role albeit with a stronger presence in the story. In this event, her and Cube kept in regular contact with Eliza and [[Ui Tamaki]] and helped guide them, giving them valuable information and providing a means of coordination.

Pernelle would continue in her support role for the third Tart event, [[Magia Record Story End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]], as well as the fourth, [[Magia Record Story The Masked Student Council Strikes Back (Holy Maiden Academy Edition)|The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]. In the fifth installment, [[Magia Record Story The Inheritors of Our Souls|The Inheritors of Our Souls,]] she takes on a prominent role.

Her Magical Girl Story explores her actions and mindset surrounding the events of Tart Magica in the form of a memoir. She states that she is a very detached, knowledge-oriented person; her scientific nature coupled with her immortality has led her to a Kyubey-like attitude in which she sees humans and the world around her as mere experimental and observational subjects. All she cared for was exploring the world and its inhabitants in a strictly efficient, rational manner. Isabeau's rise to power, however, threatened the survival of the world; its destruction would put an end to her pursuit of knowledge. While she describes her and Cube's relationship as one of complicity, they agree to work together on an experiment to overthrow Isabeau by finding and engineering a magical girl with karmic potential that could overcome Isabeau's.

All of Pernelle's actions from there were strictly to push that goal forward. With Elisa's help, she retrieves the Epee de Clovis from an obscure church where she had stashed it. The sword, associated with the founder of the kingdom that would become France, carried massive karmic weight that would further augment the magical girl they were seeking. In bestowing the sword upon Tart, Pernelle knew she was dooming Tart to a horrific fate, as Pernelle at this point in her life was well-versed with the universe's tendency to correct the balance of hope and despair. While willingly dooming an innocent, virtuous girl without hesitation is alone worthy of condemnation, Pernelle remarks that she has committed even greater sins; that if she and Cube were to reveal their knowledge to the world, it would instigate another war.

Even so, Tart was able to make the impossible possible by defeating Isabeau, and even defied her fate of becoming a Witch. She died expressing her gratitude for everything in the world, embracing all of its goods and evils without prejudice - including Pernelle herself. While Pernelle had assumed she had become much like Cube in nature and lacked a heart, she feels remorse and sorrow for the first time in ages (or possibly ever); emotions so unrecognizable to her that she needed Nicolas to remind her of what they were. In her long life, Tart was the only person who created an emotional connection with Pernelle that matched Nicolas's. Pernelle then contemplates her pursuit of knowledge, and decides to commit herself to creating the Philosopher's Stone herself (though Nicolas did have one in his possession as well, which she had been unaware of) - deciding that she, too, wants to achieve the impossible, just like Tart.

==Powers==
Pernelle has the ability to create magical barriers. She uses them as shields and platforms. Her appearances in Magia Record demonstrate her profound defensive capabilities, [[Magia Record Story End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|such as effortlessly blocking attacks from Lapin and Minou.]] Her offensive capabilities, however, require much advance preparation, given that she is reliant upon weapon-making and casting reinforcement magic to maintain an offense.

She also displayed the power to imbue weapons with unique, powerful, and lasting magic, such as those of [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]] and [[Tart]].

She has also displayed the ability to teleport, during which she appears to fade away.

==Observations==
* Considering her husband is the famed alchemist Nicholas Flamel, and her weapon is a caduceus, it is more than likely that her abilities are alchemical in nature.
** Pernelle states she created the rifle-weapon that Elisa uses as well as the magically endowed sword the ''Épée de Clovis'' which she gifted to Tart.
* While the real-world Pernelle's date of birth has been recorded as October of 1320, Pernelle's Magical Girl Story in Magia Record indicates she is much older than that. There, it is revealed that she had created the Épée de Clovis for Clovis I (c. 466-511), the man who would become the first king of the Franks. She also forged weapons his siblings, including [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audofleda Audofleda], who was a magical girl as well.
** Furthermore, she remarks in her Magical Girl Story that Kyubey used to call her "Child of Hermes." Kyubey also reveals that she was born in a cave associated with the god Hermes (which is likely referring to a cave in [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kyllini Mount Kyllini;] according to mythology, it is said to be the birthplace of Hermes, and is the most significant cave in legends associated with him). Given this information, as well as the name of her Witch, it is possible that Pernelle was born to [https://www.thecollector.com/greek-god-hermes-obsession-with-egyptian-god-thoth/ the Cult of Hermes], which pursued the discovery of wisdom and hidden knowledge. The figure of Hermes Trismegistus has writings that date as far back as 3 BCE, which relate to astronomy. His first writings connected to alchemy date to 1 BCE. Therefore, as of the events of Tart Magica, Pernelle could potentially be over 1400 years old.
** Hermes was also considered to be the god of writing. In Pernelle and Nicolas's civilian disguises in Paris of the year 1427, Pernelle is said to have an occupation involving manuscripts, furthering her connection with Hermes.
** Given that she has not created the Philosopher's Stone as of 1431, it is implied that her long life whilst maintaining a relatively youthful appearance is the result of her wish, or something she used her magic to create or accomplish, or simply something all magical girls are technically capable of under the right circumstances.
* She first met Nicolas in Europe shortly before the outbreak of the Black Death in the mid-1300s (which is revealed to have originated from a Witch who was a magical girl in Kaffa, who wished to fend off the invasion from the Mongol Empire to protect her hometown and received the power of disease to do so, only to annihilate her town as well, resulting in her despair).

==Etymology==

* In her Magical Girl Story in Magia Record, it is revealed that Perenlle was not always known as such. Rather, it was a name she adopted for herself due to its meaning of "stone," which she relates to her pursuit of the Philosopher's Stone, and to a magical girl's Soul Gem.
* Her doppel is named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes_Trismegistus Hermes Trismegistus], a Greco-Roman cult figure that combined the Greek god Hermes with the Egyptian god Thoth (which is reflected in the various aesthetic influences of her doppel's design). Hermes Trismegistus worked in the domains of alchemy, astrology, magic, and other occult subjects; the philosophy that developed from his writings is said to have offered [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes_Trismegistus#Origin_and_identity "a means of personal ascension from the constraints of physical being."]

Pernelle Flamel

Bigscarythings: /* Physical features */ - Yes, while Pernelle's historical year of birth is 1320, she is established to be at least 1000 years old as of her release in Magia Record. I've updated the DoB to reflect both, and linked to the Observations section for context.

==Story==
===Backstory===
Pernelle is the wife of [[wikipedia:Nicolas_Flamel|Nicholas Flamel]], the creator of the [[wikipedia:Philosopher%27s_stone|Philosopher’s Stone]] (a.k.a. the Sorceror’s Stone). She was not only his wife, but also his collaborator on many of his alchemical accomplishments.

===During ''Tart Magica''===
Pernelle first appeared in Chapter 7, as [[Riz Hawkwood|Riz]] and [[Tart]] fight off a witch inside a church with [[Melissa de Vignolles|Melissa]] watching on. As the witch aims for the girls, Pernelle places a barrier between themselves and the witch. Riz turns on Pernelle, demanding to know what happened to the people of the now-empty village. She explains that the villagers were all evacuated and assures Riz they share the same objectives and enemies. Pernelle conjures a sword, known as the Épée de Clovis, from thin air with her magic and gifts it to Tart. This sword allows Tart to channel some of her magic into the sword so she doesn’t expend so much of it in battle. After Tart destroys the witch with a single swing of her sword, Pernelle goes on to explain the sword’s connection to Tart and warns her of the dangers of her upcoming path to Orleans. She disappears before their eyes.

Pernelle would not reappear until sometime later during Corbeau’s defeat at the city of Patay, where Pernelle had conjured a seat floating in midair from where she watched the battle below with Kyubey sitting beside her. {{spoiler|After Corbeau’s death in the woods at the hands of her sister Minou,}} Pernelle appears from behind a tree to the four magical girls to inform them of the French victory. She introduces herself to Riz and Melissa and inquires as to how [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]] is doing. It seems Pernelle is also the one that designed Elisa’s magical rifle. Pernelle also relates to the girls the prophesy that has been surrounding Tart since her public appearance and subsequent victories. Despite Elisa’s doubts of the veracity of a prophesy owing to their victories, Tart also believes that it is the hard work and efforts of the French soldiers fighting to which they attribute their victories. Tart apologizes once she realizes she had raised her voice at Pernelle and asks for forgiveness, but Pernelle only insists that Tart continue to not hold back her true feelings. Pernelle disappears once more, promising they may meet again at Reims.

Pernelle was also a part of the group that helped Tart to escape from the prison cell in which Minou held her captive. According to Pernelle, they were not able to rescue Tart right away the way they had hoped due to the recovery of the other magical girls and Minou searching for them everywhere. Despite this, Tart initially insists they leave her there since she doesn’t want the troops or anyone else to lose their life over someone like her, who isn’t worth it. Elisa slaps her across the face and insists those troops are risking their lives for love of her. Pernelle asks if Tart has chosen to go forth and fight for France once more and urges her to go and fight against Isabeau while she tends to Kyubey’s wounds, injured at the hands of Minou. Minou appears with Isabeau a handful of magical girl slaves, ready to execute Tart for the crime of heresy, but Tart and the other girls escape the prison cell and attempt to fight Isabeau. Minou orders the magical girl slaves she brought with her to stop Tart before she can get near Isabeau, but despite this Tart is able to aim an attack at the French Queen. The attack goes right through her to no effect. Isabeau raises her hands and fires a beam of magic directly at her. As the dust settles, Tart looks up from behind her shield to find that Pernelle has blocked the attack with her own magic circle. Tart turns to find Kyubey standing behind her and is glad to see he's alright. Kyubey tells Tart that she may not have the power to get through to Isabeau due to the result of a wish someone made for Isabeau’s benefit.

{{spoiler|Isabeau rears up and transforms into her witch state ''Crepuscule de la Reine'' (Twilight of the Queen). Tart fights the witch queen but despite all her efforts she is unable to harm her owing to Minou’s wish. As her soul gem darkens and threatens to hatch into a grief seed, Riz’s soul gem fuses with Tart and together they are able to overcome the witch.}} In the aftermath of the battle, Pernelle offers Tart a grief seed in order to purify her soul gem. But she is interrupted by the lamentations of Minou at the loss of her mother. {{spoiler|At that moment, Minou transforms back into a normal girl and her soul gem crumbles. Pernelle provides the answers: having been created by an imperfect creator she lost her powers the moment Isabeau was destroyed.}} Tart offers herself as a prisoner in exchange for the liberty of the rest of her companions. It seems the corruption is too far gone as the grief seed does nothing to purify her soul gem. Pernelle agrees to provide transportation for the French soldiers and opens portals for them to escape through.

At Tart’s execution, Pernelle and Kyubey watch the proceedings from amidst the crowd. Pernelle knows that Tart is attempting to remove herself by sacrificing herself so she won't possibly become a witch. Kyubey finds it hard to understand since Tart wouldn't have had to endure all this suffering at the end if she simply accepted her fate. Pernelle asks Kyubey why he doesn't try to change her decision since he disagrees with her choice and would benefit greatly from her transformation into a witch. Kyubey responds that there is no deep meaning behind it. Tart worked hard and did as he asked which was to defeat Isabeau. In exchange, Kyubey is doing as she asks. He asks Pernelle if this isn't what people call an act of gratitude. Pernelle calls it a prayer, and that a prayer is a thought in one's heart towards all that is noble. Kyubey calls humans and their emotions illogical. Pernelle, Melissa and Elisa pray for their holy lady, La Pucelle as the flames begin to consume Tart. Just before the flames consume her entirely, she says, "I want to say to everything in the world...merci vraiment! Thank you!" as her soul takes on the form of a white dove that flies out of the flames.

==Summary==
Wife of the legendary alchemist [[wikipedia:Nicolas Flamel|Nicolas Flamel]], a Magical Girl from medieval France who has made a name for herself as a collaborator. She gave Tart (Jeanne d'Arc) and her friends magical weapons and advice in order to thwart [[Isabeau]]'s ambitions. She is an old acquaintance of [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]] and was adored by her when she was a child.

===Doppel Description===

===Side Story===

Pernelle's Magical Girl Story explores her actions and mindset surrounding the events of Tart Magica in the form of a memoir. There, she states that she is a very detached, knowledge-oriented person; her scientific nature coupled with her immortality has led her to a Kyubey-like attitude in which she sees humans and the world around her as mere experimental and observational subjects. All she cared for was exploring the world and its inhabitants in a strictly efficient, rational manner. Isabeau's rise to power, however, threatened the survival of the world; its destruction would put an end to her pursuit of knowledge. While she describes her and Cube's relationship as one of complicity, they agree to work together on an experiment to overthrow Isabeau by finding and engineering a magical girl with karmic potential that could overcome Isabeau's.

All of Pernelle's actions from there were strictly to push that goal forward. With Elisa's help, she retrieves the Epee de Clovis from an obscure church where she had stashed it. The sword, associated with the founder of the kingdom that would become France, carried massive karmic weight that would further augment the magical girl they were seeking. In bestowing the sword upon Tart, Pernelle knew she was dooming Tart to a horrific fate, as Pernelle at this point in her life was well-versed with the universe's tendency to correct the balance of hope and despair. While willingly dooming an innocent, virtuous girl without hesitation is alone worthy of condemnation, Pernelle remarks that she has committed even greater sins; that if she and Cube were to reveal their knowledge to the world, it would instigate another war.

Even so, Tart was able to make the impossible possible by defeating Isabeau, and even defied her fate of becoming a Witch. She died expressing her gratitude for everything in the world, embracing all of its goods and evils without prejudice - including Pernelle herself. While Pernelle had assumed she had become much like Cube in nature and lacked a heart, she feels remorse and sorrow for the first time in ages (or possibly ever); emotions so unrecognizable to her that she needed Nicolas to remind her of what they were. In her long life, Tart was the only person who created an emotional connection with Pernelle that matched Nicolas's. Pernelle then contemplates her pursuit of knowledge, and decides to commit herself to creating the Philosopher's Stone herself (though Nicolas did have one in his possession as well, which she had been unaware of) - deciding that she, too, wants to achieve the impossible, just like Tart.

==Abilities==
Pernelle has the ability to create magical barriers. She uses them as shields and platforms. Her appearances in Magia Record demonstrate her profound defensive capabilities, [[Magia Record Story End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|such as effortlessly blocking attacks from Lapin and Minou.]] Her offensive capabilities, however, require much advance preparation, given that she is reliant upon weapon-making and casting reinforcement magic to maintain an offense.

She also displayed the power to imbue weapons with unique, powerful, and lasting magic, such as those of [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]] and [[Tart]].

She has also displayed the ability to teleport, during which she appears to fade away.

==Etymology==

* In her Magical Girl Story in Magia Record, it is revealed that Perenlle was not always known as such. Rather, it was a name she adopted for herself due to its meaning of "stone," which she relates to her pursuit of the Philosopher's Stone, and to a magical girl's Soul Gem.

==Trivia==
* Originally, Pernelle had a plain pink Live2D model similar to that of other NPCs and minor characters (such as La Hire or Baron Gilles de Rais). However, for the third Tart event [[Magia Record Story End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]], Pernelle was given a detailed Live2D model like that of other main characters.
**Her proper Live2D model is the first time Pernelle's eyes were open and colored, confirming that her iris color is gray. The location and shape of her Soul Gem has yet to be revealed.
*Along with [[Isabeau in Magia Record|Isabeau's]] Witch form/Doppel keeping her name, Pernelle's Doppel is unique in being the only one from the Tart Magica characters whose name is not a word or phrase, but rather a proper name.
**Her Doppel is named after the Hellenistic deity that is a combination of [[Wikipedia:Hermes|Hermes]], the Greek god of travel and messengers, and [[Wikipedia:Thoth|Thoth]], the Egyptian god of knowledge. He is the purported author of the Hermetica, a set of ancient texts that form the basis of Hermeticism. Their wisdom is that of both the material and spiritual worlds, dealing with the relationship between the material and the divine.
***The main body is based on Thoth, taking the form of an ibis. It wears the ankh, an Egyptian symbol of life.
***There is both a female and male Hermes protruding from the ibis' back, both wearing winged headpieces (with the masculine's helmet also resembling a bird). This references both [[Wikipedia:Hermaphroditus|Hermaphroditus]], the child of Hermes and Aphrodite that possesses both male and female anatomy, and the philosophical concept of reconciling masculinity and femininity to reach balance and enlightenment. The ibis wears Hermes' winged sandals.
****The lion and the unicorn are [https://aras.org/concordance/content/unicorn-alchemy sometimes considered] symbols of [[Wikipedia:Mercury (Mythology)|Mercury]], the Roman equivalent of Hermes, and are likely also symbolic of masculinity and femininity.
*****Pernelle's weapon, the Caduceus, is the weapon wielded by and symbol of Hermes. It was later adopted into alchemical iconography. It is commonly conflated with the similar but separate Rod of Asclepius, which is a symbol of medicine.
*****Ironically, although Pernelle and the protagonists of Tart Magica are French and the antagonists are English, the lion and unicorn together are [[Wikipedia:The Lion and the Unicorn|symbols of the United Kingdom]].
*Her Magia's name ("En to Pan") is taken from [[wikipedia:Chrysopoeia|an ancient document]] describing alchemy that depicts an illustration of an [[Wikipedia:ouroboros|ouroboros]] with the words ἕν τὸ πᾶν, hen to pān ("the all is one") in the center.
**The ouroborous is a symbol depicting a serpent eating its own tail. It is a symbol of Hermeticism and alchemy, and represents the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. In Pernelle's Magia, a giant serpent coils around the screen, dangles its tail over the enemy, and the mouth bites down on both.

==Story==
===Backstory===
Pernelle is the wife of [[wikipedia:Nicolas_Flamel|Nicholas Flamel]], the creator of the [[wikipedia:Philosopher%27s_stone|Philosopher’s Stone]] (a.k.a. the Sorceror’s Stone). According to real world history, she was not only his wife, but also his collaborator on many of his alchemical accomplishments.

===During ''Tart Magica''===
Pernelle first appeared in Chapter 7, as [[Riz Hawkwood|Riz]] and [[Tart]] fight off a witch inside a church with [[Melissa de Vignolles|Melissa]] watching on. As the witch aims for the girls, Pernelle places a barrier between themselves and the witch. Riz turns on Pernelle, demanding to know what happened to the people of the now-empty village. She explains that the villagers were all evacuated and assures Riz they share the same objectives and enemies. Pernelle conjures a sword, known as the Épée de Clovis, from thin air with her magic and gifts it to Tart. This sword allows Tart to channel some of her magic into the sword so she doesn’t expend so much of it in battle. After Tart destroys the witch with a single swing of her sword, Pernelle goes on to explain the sword’s connection to Tart and warns her of the dangers of her upcoming path to Orleans. She disappears before their eyes.

Pernelle would not reappear until sometime later during Corbeau’s defeat at the city of Patay, where Pernelle had conjured a seat floating in midair from where she watched the battle below with Kyubey sitting beside her. {{spoiler|After Corbeau’s death in the woods at the hands of her sister Minou,}} Pernelle appears from behind a tree to the four magical girls to inform them of the French victory. She introduces herself to Riz and Melissa and inquires as to how [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]] is doing. It seems Pernelle is also the one that designed Elisa’s magical rifle. Pernelle also relates to the girls the prophesy that has been surrounding Tart since her public appearance and subsequent victories. Despite Elisa’s doubts of the veracity of a prophesy owing to their victories, Tart also believes that it is the hard work and efforts of the French soldiers fighting to which they attribute their victories. Tart apologizes once she realizes she had raised her voice at Pernelle and asks for forgiveness, but Pernelle only insists that Tart continue to not hold back her true feelings. Pernelle disappears once more, promising they may meet again at Reims.

Pernelle was also a part of the group that helped Tart to escape from the prison cell in which Minou held her captive. According to Pernelle, they were not able to rescue Tart right away the way they had hoped due to the recovery of the other magical girls and Minou searching for them everywhere. Despite this, Tart initially insists they leave her there since she doesn’t want the troops or anyone else to lose their life over someone like her, who isn’t worth it. Elisa slaps her across the face and insists those troops are risking their lives for love of her. Pernelle asks if Tart has chosen to go forth and fight for France once more and urges her to go and fight against Isabeau while she tends to Kyubey’s wounds, injured at the hands of Minou. Minou appears with Isabeau a handful of magical girl slaves, ready to execute Tart for the crime of heresy, but Tart and the other girls escape the prison cell and attempt to fight Isabeau. Minou orders the magical girl slaves she brought with her to stop Tart before she can get near Isabeau, but despite this Tart is able to aim an attack at the French Queen. The attack goes right through her to no effect. Isabeau raises her hands and fires a beam of magic directly at her. As the dust settles, Tart looks up from behind her shield to find that Pernelle has blocked the attack with her own magic circle. Tart turns to find Kyubey standing behind her and is glad to see he's alright. Kyubey tells Tart that she may not have the power to get through to Isabeau due to the result of a wish someone made for Isabeau’s benefit.

{{spoiler|Isabeau rears up and transforms into her witch state ''Crepuscule de la Reine'' (Twilight of the Queen). Tart fights the witch queen but despite all her efforts she is unable to harm her owing to Minou’s wish. As her soul gem darkens and threatens to hatch into a grief seed, Riz’s soul gem fuses with Tart and together they are able to overcome the witch.}} In the aftermath of the battle, Pernelle offers Tart a grief seed in order to purify her soul gem. But she is interrupted by the lamentations of Minou at the loss of her mother. {{spoiler|At that moment, Minou transforms back into a normal girl and her soul gem crumbles. Pernelle provides the answers: having been created by an imperfect creator she lost her powers the moment Isabeau was destroyed.}} Tart offers herself as a prisoner in exchange for the liberty of the rest of her companions. It seems the corruption is too far gone as the grief seed does nothing to purify her soul gem. Pernelle agrees to provide transportation for the French soldiers and opens portals for them to escape through.

At Tart’s execution, Pernelle and Kyubey watch the proceedings from amidst the crowd. Pernelle knows that Tart is attempting to remove herself by sacrificing herself so she won't possibly become a witch. Kyubey finds it hard to understand since Tart wouldn't have had to endure all this suffering at the end if she simply accepted her fate. Pernelle asks Kyubey why he doesn't try to change her decision since he disagrees with her choice and would benefit greatly from her transformation into a witch. Kyubey responds that there is no deep meaning behind it. Tart worked hard and did as he asked which was to defeat Isabeau. In exchange, Kyubey is doing as she asks. He asks Pernelle if this isn't what people call an act of gratitude. Pernelle calls it a prayer, and that a prayer is a thought in one's heart towards all that is noble. Kyubey calls humans and their emotions illogical. Pernelle, Melissa and Elisa pray for their holy lady, La Pucelle as the flames begin to consume Tart. Just before the flames consume her entirely, she says, "I want to say to everything in the world...merci vraiment! Thank you!" as her soul takes on the form of a white dove that flies out of the flames.

===[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record|Magia Record]]===
[[Pernelle in Magia Record|Pernelle]] played a supporting role in the special event [[Magia Record Story The Chiming Bell that Transcends Time|The Chiming Bell that Transcends Time]]. Her role in the event is similar to that of her role in the manga, where she helps gives valuable information and guidance to Iroha and Yachiyo near the end of their quest to awaken Tart from her magical nightmare.

She later appeared in the follow-up event [[Magia Record Story Rebel of a Dawnless Land|Rebel of a Dawnless Land]] where she continued in her support role albeit with a stronger presence in the story. In this event, her and Cube kept in regular contact with Eliza and [[Ui Tamaki]] and helped guide them, giving them valuable information and providing a means of coordination.

Pernelle would continue in her support role for the third Tart event, [[Magia Record Story End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]], as well as the fourth, [[Magia Record Story The Masked Student Council Strikes Back (Holy Maiden Academy Edition)|The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]. In the fifth installment, [[Magia Record Story The Inheritors of Our Souls|The Inheritors of Our Souls,]] she takes on a prominent role.

Her Magical Girl Story explores her actions and mindset surrounding the events of Tart Magica in the form of a memoir. She states that she is a very detached, knowledge-oriented person; her scientific nature coupled with her immortality has led her to a Kyubey-like attitude in which she sees humans and the world around her as mere experimental and observational subjects. All she cared for was exploring the world and its inhabitants in a strictly efficient, rational manner. Isabeau's rise to power, however, threatened the survival of the world; its destruction would put an end to her pursuit of knowledge. While she describes her and Cube's relationship as one of complicity, they agree to work together on an experiment to overthrow Isabeau by finding and engineering a magical girl with karmic potential that could overcome Isabeau's.

All of Pernelle's actions from there were strictly to push that goal forward. With Elisa's help, she retrieves the Epee de Clovis from an obscure church where she had stashed it. The sword, associated with the founder of the kingdom that would become France, carried massive karmic weight that would further augment the magical girl they were seeking. In bestowing the sword upon Tart, Pernelle knew she was dooming Tart to a horrific fate, as Pernelle at this point in her life was well-versed with the universe's tendency to correct the balance of hope and despair. While willingly dooming an innocent, virtuous girl without hesitation is alone worthy of condemnation, Pernelle remarks that she has committed even greater sins; that if she and Cube were to reveal their knowledge to the world, it would instigate another war.

Even so, Tart was able to make the impossible possible by defeating Isabeau, and even defied her fate of becoming a Witch. She died expressing her gratitude for everything in the world, embracing all of its goods and evils without prejudice - including Pernelle herself. While Pernelle had assumed she had become much like Cube in nature and lacked a heart, she feels remorse and sorrow for the first time in ages (or possibly ever); emotions so unrecognizable to her that she needed Nicolas to remind her of what they were. In her long life, Tart was the only person who created an emotional connection with Pernelle that matched Nicolas's. Pernelle then contemplates her pursuit of knowledge, and decides to commit herself to creating the Philosopher's Stone herself (though Nicolas did have one in his possession as well, which she had been unaware of) - deciding that she, too, wants to achieve the impossible, just like Tart.

==Powers==
Pernelle has the ability to create magical barriers. She uses them as shields and platforms. Her appearances in Magia Record demonstrate her profound defensive capabilities, [[Magia Record Story End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|such as effortlessly blocking attacks from Lapin and Minou.]] Her offensive capabilities, however, require much advance preparation, given that she is reliant upon weapon-making and casting reinforcement magic to maintain an offense.

She also displayed the power to imbue weapons with unique, powerful, and lasting magic, such as those of [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]] and [[Tart]].

She has also displayed the ability to teleport, during which she appears to fade away.

==Observations==
* Considering her husband is the famed alchemist Nicholas Flamel, and her weapon is a caduceus, it is more than likely that her abilities are alchemical in nature.
** Pernelle states she created the rifle-weapon that Elisa uses as well as the magically endowed sword the ''Épée de Clovis'' which she gifted to Tart.
* While the real-world Pernelle's date of birth has been recorded as occurring in October of 1320, Pernelle's Magical Girl Story in Magia Record indicates she is much older than that. There, it is revealed that she created the Épée de Clovis for the man who would become Clovis I, as well as for his siblings, including [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audofleda Audofleda], who was a magical girl as well.
** Furthermore, she remarks in her Magical Girl Story that Kyubey used to call her "Child of Hermes." Kyubey also reveals that she was born in a cave associated with the god Hermes (which is likely referring to a cave in [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kyllini Mount Kyllini;] according to mythology, it is said to be the birthplace of Hermes, and is the most significant cave in legends associated with him). Given this information, as well as the name of her Witch, it is possible that Pernelle was born to [https://www.thecollector.com/greek-god-hermes-obsession-with-egyptian-god-thoth/ the Cult of Hermes], which pursued the discovery of wisdom and hidden knowledge. The figure of Hermes Trismegistus has writings that date as far back as 3 BCE, which relate to astronomy. His first writings connected to alchemy date to 1 BCE. Therefore, as of the events of Tart Magica, Pernelle could possibly be over 1400 years old.
** Hermes was also considered to be the god of writing. In Pernelle and Nicolas's civilian disguises in Paris of the year 1427, Pernelle is said to have an occupation involving manuscripts, furthering her connection with Hermes.
** Given that she has not created the Philosopher's Stone as of 1431, t is implied that her long life whilst maintaining a relatively youthful appearance is the result of her wish, or something she used her magic to create or accomplish, or simply something all magical girls are technically capable of under the right circumstances.
* She first met Nicolas in Europe shortly before the outbreak of the Black Death in the mid-1300s (which is revealed to have originated from a Witch who was a magical girl in Kaffa, who wished to fend off the invasion from the Mongol Empire to protect her hometown and received the power of disease to do so, only to annihilate her town as well, resulting in her despair).

==Etymology==

* In her Magical Girl Story in Magia Record, it is revealed that Perenlle was not always known as such. Rather, it was a name she adopted for herself due to its meaning of "stone," which she relates to her pursuit of the Philosopher's Stone, and to a magical girl's Soul Gem.
* Her doppel is named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes_Trismegistus Hermes Trismegistus], a Greco-Roman cult figure that combined the Greek god Hermes with the Egyptian god Thoth (which is reflected in the various aesthetic influences of her doppel's design). Hermes Trismegistus worked in the domains of alchemy, astrology, magic, and other occult subjects; the philosophy that developed from his writings is said to have offered [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes_Trismegistus#Origin_and_identity "a means of personal ascension from the constraints of physical being."]

Her role in the event is similar to that of her role in the manga, where she helps gives valuable information and guidance to Iroha and Yachiyo near the end of their quest to awaken Tart from her magical nightmare.

She later appeared in the follow-up event [[Magia Record Story Rebel of a Dawnless Land|Rebel of a Dawnless Land]] where she continued in her support role albeit with a stronger presence in the story. In this event, her and Cube kept in regular contact with Eliza and [[Ui Tamaki]] and helped guide them, giving them valuable information and providing a means of coordination.

Pernelle would continue in her support role for the third Tart event, [[Magia Record Story End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]], as well as the fourth, [[Magia Record Story The Masked Student Council Strikes Back (Holy Maiden Academy Edition)|The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]. In the fifth installment, [[Magia Record Story The Inheritors of Our Souls|The Inheritors of Our Souls,]] she takes on a prominent role.

Her Magical Girl Story explores her actions and mindset surrounding the events of Tart Magica in the form of a memoir. She states that she is a very detached, knowledge-oriented person; her scientific nature coupled with her immortality has led her to a Kyubey-like attitude in which she sees humans and the world around her as mere experimental and observational subjects. All she cared for was exploring the world and its inhabitants in a strictly efficient, rational manner. Isabeau's rise to power, however, threatened the survival of the world; its destruction would put an end to her pursuit of knowledge. While she describes her and Cube's relationship as one of complicity, they agree to work together on an experiment to overthrow Isabeau by finding and engineering a magical girl with karmic potential that could overcome Isabeau's.

All of Pernelle's actions from there were strictly to push that goal forward. With Elisa's help, she retrieves the Epee de Clovis from an obscure church where she had stashed it. The sword, associated with the founder of the kingdom that would become France, carried massive karmic weight that would further augment the magical girl they were seeking. In bestowing the sword upon Tart, Pernelle knew she was dooming Tart to a horrific fate, as Pernelle at this point in her life was well-versed with the universe's tendency to correct the balance of hope and despair. While willingly dooming an innocent, virtuous girl without hesitation is alone worthy of condemnation, Pernelle remarks that she has committed even greater sins; that if she and Cube were to reveal their knowledge to the world, it would instigate another war.

Even so, Tart was able to make the impossible possible by defeating Isabeau, and even defied her fate of becoming a Witch. She died expressing her gratitude for everything in the world, embracing all of its goods and evils without prejudice - including Pernelle herself. While Pernelle had assumed she had become much like Cube in nature and lacked a heart, she feels remorse and sorrow for the first time in ages (or possibly ever); emotions so unrecognizable to her that she needed Nicolas to remind her of what they were. In her long life, Tart was the only person who created an emotional connection with Pernelle that matched Nicolas's. Pernelle then contemplates her pursuit of knowledge, and decides to commit herself to creating the Philosopher's Stone herself (though Nicolas did have one in his possession as well, which she had been unaware of) - deciding that she, too, wants to achieve the impossible, just like Tart.

==Powers==
Pernelle has the ability to create magical barriers. She uses them as shields and platforms. Her appearances in Magia Record demonstrate her profound defensive capabilities, [[Magia Record Story End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|such as effortlessly blocking attacks from Lapin and Minou.]] Her offensive capabilities, however, require much advance preparation, given that she is reliant upon weapon-making and casting reinforcement magic to maintain an offense.

She also displayed the power to imbue weapons with unique, powerful, and lasting magic, such as those of [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]] and [[Tart]].

She has also displayed the ability to teleport, during which she appears to fade away.

==Observations==
* Considering her husband is the famed alchemist Nicholas Flamel, and her weapon is a caduceus, it is more than likely that her abilities are alchemical in nature.
** Pernelle states she created the rifle-weapon that Elisa uses as well as the magically endowed sword the ''Épée de Clovis'' which she gifted to Tart.
* While the real-world Pernelle's date of birth has been recorded as occurring in October of 1320, Pernelle's Magical Girl Story in Magia Record indicates she is much older than that. There, it is revealed that she created the Épée de Clovis for the man who would become Clovis I, as well as for his siblings, including [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audofleda Audofleda], who was a magical girl as well.
** Furthermore, she remarks in her Magical Girl Story that Kyubey used to call her "Child of Hermes." Kyubey also reveals that she was born in a cave associated with the god Hermes (which is likely referring to a cave in [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kyllini Mount Kyllini;] according to mythology, it is said to be the birthplace of Hermes, and is the most significant cave in legends associated with him). Given this information, as well as the name of her Witch, it is possible that Pernelle was born to [https://www.thecollector.com/greek-god-hermes-obsession-with-egyptian-god-thoth/ the Cult of Hermes], which pursued the discovery of wisdom and hidden knowledge. The figure of Hermes Trismegistus has writings that date as far back as 3 BCE, which relate to astronomy. His first writings connected to alchemy date to 1 BCE. Therefore, as of the events of Tart Magica, Pernelle could possibly be over 1400 years old.
** Hermes was also considered to be the god of writing. In Pernelle and Nicolas's civilian disguises in Paris of the year 1427, Pernelle is said to have an occupation involving manuscripts, furthering her connection with Hermes.
** Given that she has not created the Philosopher's Stone as of 1431, t is implied that her long life whilst maintaining a relatively youthful appearance is the result of her wish, or something she used her magic to create or accomplish, or simply something all magical girls are technically capable of under the right circumstances.
* She first met Nicolas in Europe shortly before the outbreak of the Black Death in the mid-1300s (which is revealed to have originated from a Witch who was a magical girl in Kaffa, who wished to fend off the invasion from the Mongol Empire to protect her hometown and received the power of disease to do so, only to annihilate her town as well, resulting in her despair).

==Etymology==

* In her Magical Girl Story in Magia Record, it is revealed that Perenlle was not always known as such. Rather, it was a name she adopted for herself due to its meaning of "stone," which she relates to her pursuit of the Philosopher's Stone, and to a magical girl's Soul Gem.
* Her doppel is named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes_Trismegistus Hermes Trismegistus], a Greco-Roman cult figure that combined the Greek god Hermes with the Egyptian god Thoth (which is reflected in the various aesthetic influences of her doppel's design). Hermes Trismegistus worked in the domains of alchemy, astrology, magic, and other occult subjects; the philosophy that developed from his writings is said to have offered [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes_Trismegistus#Origin_and_identity "a means of personal ascension from the constraints of physical being."]

==Story==
===Backstory===
Pernelle is the wife of [[wikipedia:Nicolas_Flamel|Nicholas Flamel]], the creator of the [[wikipedia:Philosopher%27s_stone|Philosopher’s Stone]] (a.k.a. the Sorceror’s Stone). According to real world history, she was not only his wife, but also his collaborator on many of his alchemical accomplishments.

===During ''Tart Magica''===
Pernelle first appeared in Chapter 7, as [[Riz Hawkwood|Riz]] and [[Tart]] fight off a witch inside a church with [[Melissa de Vignolles|Melissa]] watching on. As the witch aims for the girls, Pernelle places a barrier between themselves and the witch. Riz turns on Pernelle, demanding to know what happened to the people of the now-empty village. She explains that the villagers were all evacuated and assures Riz they share the same objectives and enemies. Pernelle conjures a sword, known as the Épée de Clovis, from thin air with her magic and gifts it to Tart. This sword allows Tart to channel some of her magic into the sword so she doesn’t expend so much of it in battle. After Tart destroys the witch with a single swing of her sword, Pernelle goes on to explain the sword’s connection to Tart and warns her of the dangers of her upcoming path to Orleans. She disappears before their eyes.

Pernelle would not reappear until sometime later during Corbeau’s defeat at the city of Patay, where Pernelle had conjured a seat floating in midair from where she watched the battle below with Kyubey sitting beside her. {{spoiler|After Corbeau’s death in the woods at the hands of her sister Minou,}} Pernelle appears from behind a tree to the four magical girls to inform them of the French victory. She introduces herself to Riz and Melissa and inquires as to how [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]] is doing. It seems Pernelle is also the one that designed Elisa’s magical rifle. Pernelle also relates to the girls the prophesy that has been surrounding Tart since her public appearance and subsequent victories. Despite Elisa’s doubts of the veracity of a prophesy owing to their victories, Tart also believes that it is the hard work and efforts of the French soldiers fighting to which they attribute their victories. Tart apologizes once she realizes she had raised her voice at Pernelle and asks for forgiveness, but Pernelle only insists that Tart continue to not hold back her true feelings. Pernelle disappears once more, promising they may meet again at Reims.

Pernelle was also a part of the group that helped Tart to escape from the prison cell in which Minou held her captive. According to Pernelle, they were not able to rescue Tart right away the way they had hoped due to the recovery of the other magical girls and Minou searching for them everywhere. Despite this, Tart initially insists they leave her there since she doesn’t want the troops or anyone else to lose their life over someone like her, who isn’t worth it. Elisa slaps her across the face and insists those troops are risking their lives for love of her. Pernelle asks if Tart has chosen to go forth and fight for France once more and urges her to go and fight against Isabeau while she tends to Kyubey’s wounds, injured at the hands of Minou. Minou appears with Isabeau a handful of magical girl slaves, ready to execute Tart for the crime of heresy, but Tart and the other girls escape the prison cell and attempt to fight Isabeau. Minou orders the magical girl slaves she brought with her to stop Tart before she can get near Isabeau, but despite this Tart is able to aim an attack at the French Queen. The attack goes right through her to no effect. Isabeau raises her hands and fires a beam of magic directly at her. As the dust settles, Tart looks up from behind her shield to find that Pernelle has blocked the attack with her own magic circle. Tart turns to find Kyubey standing behind her and is glad to see he's alright. Kyubey tells Tart that she may not have the power to get through to Isabeau due to the result of a wish someone made for Isabeau’s benefit.

{{spoiler|Isabeau rears up and transforms into her witch state ''Crepuscule de la Reine'' (Twilight of the Queen). Tart fights the witch queen but despite all her efforts she is unable to harm her owing to Minou’s wish. As her soul gem darkens and threatens to hatch into a grief seed, Riz’s soul gem fuses with Tart and together they are able to overcome the witch.}} In the aftermath of the battle, Pernelle offers Tart a grief seed in order to purify her soul gem. But she is interrupted by the lamentations of Minou at the loss of her mother. {{spoiler|At that moment, Minou transforms back into a normal girl and her soul gem crumbles. Pernelle provides the answers: having been created by an imperfect creator she lost her powers the moment Isabeau was destroyed.}} Tart offers herself as a prisoner in exchange for the liberty of the rest of her companions. It seems the corruption is too far gone as the grief seed does nothing to purify her soul gem. Pernelle agrees to provide transportation for the French soldiers and opens portals for them to escape through.

At Tart’s execution, Pernelle and Kyubey watch the proceedings from amidst the crowd. Pernelle knows that Tart is attempting to remove herself by sacrificing herself so she won't possibly become a witch. Kyubey finds it hard to understand since Tart wouldn't have had to endure all this suffering at the end if she simply accepted her fate. Pernelle asks Kyubey why he doesn't try to change her decision since he disagrees with her choice and would benefit greatly from her transformation into a witch. Kyubey responds that there is no deep meaning behind it. Tart worked hard and did as he asked which was to defeat Isabeau. In exchange, Kyubey is doing as she asks. He asks Pernelle if this isn't what people call an act of gratitude. Pernelle calls it a prayer, and that a prayer is a thought in one's heart towards all that is noble. Kyubey calls humans and their emotions illogical. Pernelle, Melissa and Elisa pray for their holy lady, La Pucelle as the flames begin to consume Tart. Just before the flames consume her entirely, she says, "I want to say to everything in the world...merci vraiment! Thank you!" as her soul takes on the form of a white dove that flies out of the flames.

Folklore of Zero

2022-02-25T17:14:16Z

Bigscarythings: Clarifications and touch-ups

[[File:102601 comment folklore.jpg|thumb|right|500px]]
The {{nihongo|'''Folklore of Zero'''|午前0時のフォークロア|Gozen Rei-ji no fōkuroa}} (or '''Folklore of 0''') is a clandestine organization in [[Kamihama City]] consisting of magical girls from {{nihongo|'''Yukuni City'''|湯国市|Yukuni-shi}}. They act as a secret society in Arc 2 of [[Magia Record]], and claim to believe in the "beginning of the end (終わりの始まり)" and "Awakening/resignation (諦念)." An aquarium in [[Kamihama_City#Minaminagi_ward|Minaminagi Ward]] serves as their base of operations.

In the story draft notes presented at [https://f4samurai.jp/fanfes/2021/ the December 2021 f4fanfes], Folklore of Zero was described as follows:

*Faction name: Folklore of 0
*"Girls who came to wish for extinction after persecution from humans"
*Type: Empty + destructive
*Goal: Eliminate Magical girls from the world and reset everything
*Atmosphere: Bright at first glance, but farsighted/philosophical and nihilistic underneath
*Ideology: Magical girls are only harmful in humanity's eyes; only salvation is death
*Intergroup relations: United by strong, codependent bonds
*Keywords: Ghosts, in hiding, tranquility, airport, charm that pulls people in

==Summary==
Folklore of Zero's origin is the topic of [[Magia_Record_Story_The_Ash_Grey_Revolution|the Ash Grey Revolution event.]] There, it is revealed that before forming Folklore of Zero, the four girls who now comprise its membership had attempted to publicize the existence of magical girls in their hometown of Yukuni, which led to magical girls being scapegoated for the suffering of humankind. Magical girls were hunted and persecuted in the city, which led to the psychological torment and physical torture of the faction's members. After much suffering, however, the magical girls were able to turn the tide of public opinion in their favor - that is, until a horrific accident occurred that killed all of their supporters, and drove the girls out of their hometown.

The girls work with Professor Tasuke Satomi ([[Nayuta Satomi]]'s father) and his findings and experiences related to publicizing magical girls. They and Tasuke have observed unnatural behaviors regarding magical girls and their relationship to the public. For example, [[Magia Record Main Story Part 2 Chapter 8|magical girls seem "programmed" to never discuss their lives as magical girls with non-magical girls,]] even during the devastating conflicts in [[Magia_Record_Story_Breakpoint|Kamihama]] and [[Magia_Record_Story_Crimson_Resolve|Futatsugi City.]] The greater public was entirely unmoved by the unnatural spike in the deaths of adolescent girls during these conflicts. The feats of historical magical girls like [[Tart|Jeanne d'Arc]] or [[Madoka_Magica_Episode_11:_The_Only_Thing_I_Have_Left_to_Guide_Me|Himiko]] also lack any mention of magic or supernatural feats, or are treated as mere myths and legends rather than material truth. Furthermore, in Tasuke's attempts to document and publicize the truth of magical girls, such as his investigation of the [[Tokime Clan]], he found himself growing deathly ill.

These various factors and more have led Folklore of Zero to hypothesize that there is a greater power - perhaps greater than even [[Kyubey|the Incubators]] - that seeks to preserve the magical girl system at all costs, and will not hesitate to eliminate those who threaten it, or to force magical girls to fall back in line. Tasuke, who initially began his research with the ideals of changing society to save magical girls, has instead concluded that such an endeavor is impossible. The goal of Folklore of Zero, then, is to observe the happenings in Kamihama City. If events play out as they did in Yukuni, they will conclude that their hypothesis is correct. From there, they will enact a currently-unknown plan that will result in the prevention of any further magical girls from being created, the very concept of magical girls being forever shunted into mere folklore, and finally, the elimination of all remaining magical girls.

[[File:102204 pocketwatch five.png|250px|thumb|right]]

Folklore of Zero's leader, [[Rabi Himuro]], marks the countdown to their plan's enactment with a broken pocketwatch in her possession. As of Ash Grey Revolution, the watch's hands were set to five minutes before midnight, with midnight marking the moment their plan begins. Each death of a magical girl pushes the hands closer to the end; [[Magia_Record_Main_Story_Part_2_Chapter_7|in chapter 7,]] it is stated that the deaths of [[Nayuta Satomi]], [[Touka Satomi]], [[Nemu Hiiragi]], [[Kagome Satori]], or [[Himena Aika]] will instantly move the clock to midnight. Notably, all five of these characters are connected by their desire to publicize the truth of magical girls.

For much of Arc 2, Folklore of Zero embedded various members into Arc 2's factions, excluding [[Kamihama Magia Union]] and [[Puella Care]]. While Rabi did not join a faction proper, she instead led Nayuta on a wild goose chase to ensure Tasuke's whereabouts remained hidden for as long as possible. While [[Alexandra Kurusu]] has [[Magia_Record_Main_Story_Part_2_Chapter_5|claimed that Folklore of Zero only ever acted as observers]], in truth, its members have meddled with the faction wars to very significant degrees. [[Ulala Yume|Urara Yume]], for example, was [[Magia_Record_Main_Story_Part_2_Chapter_3|directly involved in Ui's kidnapping]], while [[Asahi Miura]] successfully advised [[Shizuka Tokime]] to end the alliance between the Tokime Clan and Kamihama Magia Union. Furthermore, the revival of [[Wings_of_the_Magius#Neo-Magius|Neo-Magius]] under Himena Aika was orchestrated by Alexandra herself.

The faction members will also not hesitate to hinder those who would oppose their goals. Rabi, for example, actively leaks misinformation in Nayuta's search for her father and tries to sabotage the alliance between Nayuta and Touka. In another instance, prior to Rabi's conclusion about the five deaths that will instigate Folklore of Zero's eponymous "zero hour," Urara attempts to murder Kagome as the latter seeks to reveal the existence of magical girls to the public. Despite their ruthlessness in some ways, the faction girls have also attempted to manipulate events to more generally favorable conclusions, such as [[Magia_Record_Main_Story_Part_2_Chapter_6|Asahi summoning the ghosts of Felicia's parents to soothe their daughter at the behest of Kako and Ayame]], or Urara and Asahi working together in an attempt [[Magia_Record_Main_Story_Part_2_Chapter_7|to prevent the deaths of those they cherished.]]

This extensive involvement in the events of Arc 2 and Rabi's laissez-faire towards their interception is attributed to their philosophy of resignation: nothing they do will change the course of fate, which is to say the greater universal power that they believe ensures the bleak fates of magical girls. As Asahi summons the ghosts of Felicia's parents to save the latter's life, for example, she also declares that doing so is futile. A recurring theme among the faction's members is that while they all want to cling onto hope, and can't help but attempt to bring about ideal conclusions (such as in Asahi saving Felicia's life, or her and Urara's attempt to do so for others in the Chapter 7 battle with Promised Blood), their experiences have proven to them time and time again that only despair awaits them. [[Magia_Record_Main_Story_Part_2_Chapter_7|To quote Rabi, "If our acting freely could disrupt the Awakening at its source, it'd hardly be something worth believing in to begin with."]] Simply put, Rabi allows her teammates to do as they feel inclined, as long as they all survive to implement their so-called "Final Salvation." All in all, as Alexandra says to Himena in their trip to Himena's hometown, Folklore of Zero's vision of "salvation" for magical girls differs massively from those of the other factions.

Folklore of Zero

2022-02-25T06:02:10Z

Bigscarythings: Major reworking of the Summary section for readability and to add information that has come out throughout Arc 2 and Ash Grey Revolution

[[File:102601 comment folklore.jpg|thumb|right|500px]]
The {{nihongo|'''Folklore of Zero'''|午前0時のフォークロア|Gozen Rei-ji no fōkuroa}} (or '''Folklore of 0''') is a clandestine organization in [[Kamihama City]] consisting of magical girls from {{nihongo|'''Yukuni City'''|湯国市|Yukuni-shi}}. They act as a secret society in Arc 2 of [[Magia Record]], and claim to believe in the "beginning of the end (終わりの始まり)" and "Awakening/resignation (諦念)."

In the story draft notes presented at [https://f4samurai.jp/fanfes/2021/ the December 2021 f4fanfes], Folklore of Zero was described as follows:

*Faction name: Folklore of 0
*"Girls who came to wish for extinction after persecution from humans"
*Type: Empty + destructive
*Goal: Eliminate MGs from the world and reset everything
*Atmosphere: Bright at first glance, but farsighted/philosophical and nihilistic underneath
*Ideology: MGs are only harmful in humanity's eyes; only salvation is death
*Intergroup relations: United by strong, codependent bonds
*Keywords: Ghosts, in hiding, tranquility, airport, charm that pulls people in

==Summary==
Folklore of Zero's origin is revealed in [[Magia_Record_Story_The_Ash_Grey_Revolution|the Ash Grey Revolution event.]] There, it is revealed that before forming Folklore of Zero, the girls who now comprise its membership had attempted to publicize the existence of magical girls in their hometown of Yukuni, which led to magical girls being scapegoated for the suffering of humankind. Magical girls were hunted and persecuted in the city, which led to psychological torment and physical torture of Folklore's members. After much suffering, however, the magical girls were able to turn the tide of public opinion in their favor - until a horrific accident occurred that killed all of their supporters, and drove the girls out of their hometown.

The girls work with Professor Tasuke Satomi ([[Nayuta Satomi]]'s father) and his findings and experiences related to publicizing magical girls. They and Tasuke have observed unnatural behaviors regarding magical girls and their relationship to the public. For example, magical girls seem "programmed" to never discuss their lives as magical girls with non-magical girls, even during devastating conflicts in [[Magia_Record_Story_Breakpoint|Kamihama]] and [[Magia_Record_Story_Crimson_Resolve|Futatsugi City.]] The greater public was also entirely unmoved by the unnatural spike in the deaths of adolescent girls during these conflicts. The feats of historical magical girls like [[Tart|Jeanne d'Arc]] or [[Madoka_Magica_Episode_11:_The_Only_Thing_I_Have_Left_to_Guide_Me|Himiko]] also lack any mention of magic or supernatural feats, or are treated as mere myths and legends rather than material truth. Furthermore, in Tasuke's attempts to document and publicize the truth of magical girls, such as in his investigation of the [[Tokime Clan]], he found himself growing deathly ill.

These various factors and more have led Folklore of Zero to hypothesize that there is a greater power - perhaps higher than even the Incubators - that seeks to preserve the magical girl system at all costs, and will not hesitate to eliminate those who threaten it, or to force magical girls to fall back in line. Tasuke, who initially began his research with the ideals of changing society to save magical girls, instead concluded that such an endeavor is impossible. The goal of Folklore of Zero, then, is to observe the happenings in Kamihama City. If events play out as they did in Yukuni, they will conclude that their hypothesis is correct. From there, they will enact a currently-unknown plan that will result in the prevention of any further magical girls from being created, the very concept of magical girls being forever shunted into mere folklore, and finally, the elimination of all remaining magical girls.

[[File:102204 pocketwatch five.png|thumb|right]]

Folklore of Zero's leader, [[Rabi Himuro]], decided to mark the countdown to enact their plan with a broken pocketwatch in her possession. As of Ash Grey Revolution, the watch's hands were set to five minutes before midnight, with midnight marking the moment their plan begins. Each death of a magical girl pushes the hands closer to midnight; [[Magia_Record_Main_Story_Part_2_Chapter_7|in chapter 7,]] it is stated that the deaths of [[Nayuta Satomi]], [[Touka Satomi]], [[Nemu Hiiragi]], [[Kagome Satori]], or [[Himena Aika]] will instantly move the clock to midnight. Notably, all five of these characters are connected by their desire to publicize the truth of magical girls.

For much of Arc 2, Folklore of Zero embedded various members into Arc 2's factions, excluding [[Kamihama Magia Union]] and [[Puella Care]]. Rabi led Nayuta on a wild goose chase to ensure Tasuke's whereabouts remained hidden for as long as possible. While [[Alexandra Kurusu]] has [[Magia_Record_Main_Story_Part_2_Chapter_5|previously claimed that Folklore of Zero only acted as observers]], in truth, its members have meddled with the faction wars to very significant degrees. [[Ulala Yume|Urara Yume]], for example, was [[Magia_Record_Main_Story_Part_2_Chapter_3|directly involved in Ui's kidnapping]], while [[Asahi Miura]] successfully advised [[Shizuka Tokime]] to end the alliance between the Tokime Clan and Kamihama Magia Union. Furthermore, the revival of [[Wings_of_the_Magius#Neo-Magius|Neo-Magius]] under Himena Aika was orchestrated by Alexandra herself.

In other domains, the girls will not hesitate to hinder those who would oppose their goals. Rabi, for example, actively leaks misinformation to Nayuta in the latter's search for her father, and prior to Rabi's conclusion about the five deaths that will instigate Folklore of Zero's eponymous "zero hour," Urara tries to murder Kagome as the latter seeks to reveal the existence of magical girls to the public. The faction girls have also attempted to manipulate events to more generally favorable conclusions, such as [[Magia_Record_Main_Story_Part_2_Chapter_6|Asahi summoning the ghosts of Felicia's parents to soothe their daughter at the behest of Kako and Ayame]], or Urara and Asahi trying to work together to [[Magia_Record_Main_Story_Part_2_Chapter_7|prevent the deaths of those they cherished.]]

This extensive involvement in the events of Arc 2 and Rabi's laissez-faire towards their interception is attributed to their philosophy of resignation: nothing they do will change the course of fate, which is to say the greater universal power they believe in that ensures the bleak fates of magical girls. As Asahi saves Felicia, for example, she also declares that doing so is futile. [[Magia_Record_Main_Story_Part_2_Chapter_7|To quote Rabi, "If our acting freely could disrupt the Awakening at its source, it'd hardly be something worth believing in to begin with."]] Simply put, Rabi allows her teammates to do as they feel inclined, as long as they all survive to implement their last resort. All in all, as Alexandra says to Himena in their trip to Himena's hometown, Folklore of Zero's vision of "salvation" for magical girls differs massively from those of the other factions.

Tokime Tribe

2022-02-18T01:44:43Z

Bigscarythings: Major reworking of the Summary section for readability and to add information that has come out since Green Jasper Diviners; added some notes on other branch villages introduced in other events

[[File:102601 comment tokime.jpg|500px|thumb|right]]
The {{nihongo|'''Tokime Clan'''|時女一族|Tokime Ichizoku|}} ('''Tokime Family''' in the NA server and '''Tokime Tribe''' in some [https://100evil.magireco.com/character/ translations]) is a family-based faction from Tokime Village (時女集落) of {{nihongo|'''Kirimine County'''|霧峰村|Kirimine-mura}} consisting of magical girls who belong to said clan.

Their base of operation in [[Kamihama City]] is Suitoku Temple, located in Sankyo Ward. In Arc 2, they initially act as one of [[Kamihama Magia Union]]'s allies, but end their alliance in [[Magia_Record_Main_Story_Part_2_Chapter_3|Chapter 3.]]

In the story draft notes presented at [https://f4samurai.jp/fanfes/2021/ the December 2021 f4fanfes], the Tokime Clan was described as follows:

*Faction name: Tokime Clan
*"Girls from rural regions where traditional legends of Magical Girls still exist"
*Type: Integrity + simple honesty
*Goal: Change human sacrifice-esque tradition of making girls into magical girls
*Atmosphere: Tranquil + calm
*Ideology: Magical Girls should serve the world with pride in their hearts
*Intergroup relations: Fundamentally friendly; merry and lighthearted
*Keywords: Harmony, Rural, Old-fashioned, Folklore, Buddhist temple

==Summary==

It is unknown when the Tokime Clan was founded, but it is known to have existed since ancient times. In those days, Diviners (the clan's term for magical girls) of the Tokime Clan fought purely to protect Japan itself. They were taught the truth of the relationship between Diviners and Devils (the clan's term for [[Witches]]), were able to freely decide what wishes they would grant, and when they came of age, were also allowed to decide for themselves whether to leave the Tokime Village or remain. A significant number of Diviners chose to leave, which ultimately led to the creation of several branch families for the clan that exist across Japan, with several modern magical girls having been born outside the village, such as [[Ryoko Natsu|Ryoko]], [[Chika Aoba|Chika]], and [[Asahi Miura|Asahi]].

During the Sengoku Period, however, the Tokime Clan's traditions were upended. During this era, all of the clan's Diviners were lost, and a group of warriors known as the Mikoshiba (神子柴) was sent to guard the village in absence of its Diviners. There, [[Magia Record Story Tokime Clan Tale|a woman of the Mikoshiba took over the clan by deceiving and betraying her adopted daughter into making a wish that ensured her and her successors' reign for centuries to come.]] The woman and her successors cemented their control by using wishes of various Diviners to grant them various powers, such as the ability to control Witches and Familiars, and created a business of selling wishes to powerful people from all sectors of Japan, from high-ranking politicians and government officials to businessmen.

To ensure this trade, the Mikoshiba family created a system of deceit, intimidation, and exploitation to manipulate girls across the Tokime Clan and its branch families. They glorified Diviners, demonstrating all the benefits of contracting without revealing the truth of Witches. Furthermore, they taught girls like [[Shizuka Tokime]] to be slavishly devoted to Japan above all else while rewriting the clan's history and traditions, and created various religious traditions and ceremonies to intimidate the villagers and pressure young girls into contracting. All of these elements created a culture that shuttled girls with magical potential into granting Mikoshiba's wishes without resistance.

After these wishes were granted, and once the Diviners were on the verge of becoming Witches, the Mikoshibas disposed of the girls by utilizing a twisted traditional coming-of-age ceremony. Rather than being free to leave the village like the Diviners of yore, the girls would be taken to the nearby river and drowned, their souls fed to [[Lucy|an entity known by the clan as The Wavering Deity]]. The Wavering Deity served to entrap the entire village in a Labyrinth, thus preventing the village from being found on any map and shielding it from outsiders who may put the Mikoshibas' reign at risk. The clan was taught to consider the Wavering Deity as a god, ensuring that Diviners would not destroy it. With all these pieces in place, this so-called coming-of-age ceremony endured for centuries, with Shizuka being the only one known to have survived this tradition.

To ensure that this system would endure, the Mikoshibas selfishly guarded the pool of potential Diviners, such as by [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|forbidding adolescent girls of one distant branch family from having romantic relationships with outsiders,]] thus ensuring that potential contractees did not leave her jurisdiction. Those who defied Mikoshiba's system and made wishes of their own free will were met with rage and vengeance. For example, after [[Sunao Toki]] contracted outside of Mikoshiba's control, the modern-day Mikoshiba threatened Sunao's family and blackmailed her into serving as Mikoshiba's personal assassin to eliminate those who put the Mikoshibas' reign at risk, such as anyone who trespassed on the Central Shrine, a critical ceremonial ground for the Tokime Village that contained proof of Mikoshiba's dealings.

However, [[Magia Record Story The Green Jasper Diviners|the abusive reign of the Mikoshiba family finally came to an end]] after [[Chiharu Hiroe]] rescued Shizuka from the aforementioned coming-of-age ceremony. Through that incident, Shizuka finally learned the truth of the Tokime Clan, based on what Mikoshiba had told her right before attempting to have Shizuka killed, and by seeing the remains of the Tokime Clan's Diviners who became victims to the Mikoshibas' system in the river. Shizuka informed Chiharu and Sunao of what she had learned, which was the last straw that prompted Sunao to go against Mikoshiba's orders.

From there, Mikoshiba attempted several times to have the three girls killed by Familiars or Witches, but was thwarted every time. The trio gathered evidence of Mikoshiba's heinous system from the Central Shrine; once Mikoshiba was confronted with this, she realized there was no escape, and chose suicide via poison rather than allowing herself to be brought to justice. The death of the sole remaining Mikoshiba served as a killswitch to have the Wavering Deity destroy everything and everyone in the village, but Chiharu, Shizuka, and Sunao were able to overcome it, and thus ended the reign of the Mikoshibas forevermore.

In the aftermath of the Mikoshiba family's downfall, the Tokime Clan was forced to learn to stand upon its own two feet without the luxuries and ease of life that Mikoshiba brought. [[Chiharu_Hiroe#Side_Story|Members of the clan now work in neighboring cities and villages to bring income and necessities to the clan, and for long-term growth, the clan markets their village as a tourist site]] and [[Sunao_Toki#Side_Story|sells unique goods in markets outside of their village.]] Despite the clan's upending, its leader, Shizuka, still holds pride in her role as a Diviner and her service to her homeland; after [[Kyubey (known as Lord Kyūbē to the clan)]] informed her and her friends about Kamihama's surplus of witches and its [[Doppel]] system, she decided to move operations there in order to replicate and expand the system so that more magical girls would be able to serve the country.

==Organization==

After the events of [[Magia Record Story The Green Jasper Diviners|The Green Jasper Diviners]], the clan is led by [[Shizuka Tokime]], a heiress of the main family/house (本家, ''honke'') of the Tokime Clan. The rest of the clan are comprised of Members are from various branch families/houses (分家, ''bunke'').

===Members===
====The Mikoshiba (Dissolved)====

[[Magia Record Story Tokime Clan Tale|In the Tokime Clan Tale event]], it is confirmed that the Mikoshiba clan/family was a line of women who gained their grip over the Tokime Clan centuries ago, after their progenitor manipulated her young adopted daughter, Suwe, into contracting with Kyubey to create a calamity-summoning sake cup. Hatsu, an heiress of the Tokime Clan in the olden days, discovered this deceit and attempted to save Suwe, her best friend, by contracting with Kyubey behind Mikoshiba's back to create a sword that could destroy the cup and its calamities.

Unfortunately, this played right into Mikoshiba's hands; she was able to seize the sword from Hatsu and break it, weakening the blade so that it could only purge the calamities from the cup without breaking it for good. With a fragment of the sword allowing the Mikoshiba family to predict when the calamity-dispelling ritual must be carried out, and through generations of obfuscating the ritual and cowing the Tokime Clan into fear and obedience, the Mikoshiba family lived in greed, riches, and comfort, with no compassion, shame, or conscience for the lives they destroyed for hundreds of years.

Throughout the eras, each successor of the Mikoshiba clan adopted girls (who held no blood ties with the Tokime Clan) called "[https://www.nypl.org/blog/2017/04/06/bugaku-japanese-imperial-court-dance Maibito (舞人)]" - special ritual dancers - and trained them as candidates to inherit the Mikoshiba title. Given the expectations placed upon them, the Maibito were taught the truth of the Tokime Village and of the magical girl system at large, and were strictly prohibited from becoming magical girls themselves. Their main job was to attend to the Tokime Village's various religious ceremonies, such as the ritual where Diviners make contracts and the Daybreak Ceremony, and maintain the security of the Great Temple. The most recent Mikoshiba, as of Green Jasper Diviners, also maintained a group of Maibito as her private army. All of the Maibito are confirmed to be dead as collateral damage when Mikoshiba unleashed familiars in the Tokime Village.

As of Arc 2, [[Chiharu_Hiroe|the Hiroe family]] seems to be the only surviving branch of the Mikoshiba family.

====Tokime Main House====

====Tokime Branch Houses====

*[[Chiharu Hiroe]]
*[[Asahi Miura]] (undercover member of [[Folklore of Zero]] {{spoiler|who leaves in Arc 2 Chapter 8}})
*[[Ryoko Natsu]]
*[[Chika Aoba]]

====Other Branch Villages====
*One village (its name unknown) serves the setting for the [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]] event. While it used to be home to many Diviners, much like many other Tokime branch villages, it has not seen a Diviner for a very long time, to the point where Diviners had fallen into myth until Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao traveled to the village. For many years, under Mikoshiba's orders, the village maintained a custom of forbidding adolescents from maintaining romantic relationships with outsiders. It was originally thought that this custom stemmed from a tragic romance that befell a young Diviner who fell in love with a foreign sailor, but the truth of the custom and of the girl's tragic love is unveiled in the event's story. The Diviner had the power to cast her voice into objects, and these enchanted items kicked off many future events. One became the origin of [[Magia Record Story Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water's Edge～|a Kamihama myth called the Voice of the Waves]], and another was the catalyst for [[Magia_Record_Story_The_Legendary_Story_of_the_Paper_Mulberry_Leaf_~The_Swaying_Feeling,_Once_Again_Fascinating~|Tsuyu and Chizuru, two of Kamihama's historical magical girls, to unite in order to overthrow a regional tyrant.]]

*The Toki Village of Yukuni City - [[Asahi Miura|Asahi Miura's]] hometown - is a branch family that has grown to loathe magical girls, to the point its villagers attempted to run out Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu when they came to look into the origin of Asahi's scars.

*In [[Nayuta Satomi]]'s dialogue (Magical Girl Tap 4), she mentions that her father, [[Folklore_of_Zero|Professor Tasuke Satomi,]] published a book about the Tokime Village. It sold poorly, however. While Nayuta says this was because the public is a poor judge of books, it is possible that it failed due to Mikoshiba pulling strings with the elites she made deals with, [[Magia_Record_Story_The_Ash_Grey_Revolution|though it may also be because of some other force at hand.]]

Magia Record Story The Ash Grey Revolution

2022-02-14T05:28:15Z

Bigscarythings: Added rest of summary, URLs to JP videos

[[File:Ash grey revolution event.jpg|500px|thumb|right]]

''The following is a summary posted on Discord by Mochi.''

==Introduction==
''"This is the story
''of a group of girls who wanted to reveal the existence of mahou shoujo to everyone''
''so that they could be comforted as they continue their fight against that which is invisible."''

Rabi: We cannot stop the neverending rotation of the starry sky.

Urara: No matter how much I practice, I can't resist the gravity that pulls on my diabolo.

Alexandra: No matter how much I speak out, without this atmosphere my singing voice would never be heard.

Asahi: Yes, we are always controlled by the invisible.
Just like this rabbit, who by my unseen hand has lost its life.
Everything is made up by nature's providence. Being at the mercy of something is a fate in which we have no choice but to resign ourselves to...

==Part One==

===Chapter 1: Truth===

====1-1====

In Yukuni, Asahi is saying good morning to her father. He offers her some tea, which she gladly accepts. Her mother hands her a bowl of miso soup filled with eggs and wild vegetables. Asahi's grandmother went up in the mountains this morning and picked them, which Asahi realizes means that warm weather is coming.

The TV pipes up, announcing Yukuni's All-star Festival is going to be held. It's going to have markets filled to the brim with local specialty goods and various exhibits on Yukuni's history and traditions. What's more, up on stage will be the local street artist prodigy Yume Urara showing off her skills with a group! All sorts of fun things will be taking place, so let's all join the event together! For more details, check Yukuni's tourism homepage!

Asahi notes that they've been putting way more effort into advertising the festival this time, including these commercials. Her father says it's because all the landslides and avalanches have soured the mood throughout the town this winter, so everyone is taking this chance to brighten up the place. They themselves will be selling wild vegetables and smoked meat.

Her mother hands her breakfast, saying lots of tourists will be coming in this time, so it's going to be lots of fun. Asahi agrees, but loses her smile quickly, saying that while it isn't something she can just say to those who lost family due to the avalanches, but she hopes this will be an opportunity for people to get well, even if only a little. Asahi's grandmother puts tamagoyaki on everyone's plates, telling them all to enjoy it together. Everyone begins eating happily.

Asahi: "I am grateful for all life."

====1-2====

At school, Asahi's teacher is dismissing everyone for the day, reminding members of the festival to stick around and for the student with duties to begin. The student announces for everyone to stand at attention and bow.

Asahi notices everyone is talking about the festival now. Two students (Kuroda and Haitani) thank Asahi for the other day. Asahi wonders what she's being thanked for. Kuroda tells her for the deer meat she gave him, and that his father loved it. Asahi takes a second to recall that, then remembers she gave it to him because she was trying to perk him up since he looked so tired. Kuroda bows to her, apologizing for making her take care of him. Asahi tells him if he's going to bow like that, she's going to feel sorry as well.

Asahi asks if Haitani is here for similar reasons. She shows Asahi a web version of a local magazine's article. It states that within the mountains of the Toki village, a stone monument was discovered. For a long time it was said that there was no evidence of its existence, possibly supporting the legend of the Heike family??

Asahi is suddenly shocked -- is this the very same stone monument that she found a while ago!? Kuroda confirms it is, and it's now under jurisdiction of the board of education, so they'll be researching it soon. Asahi is taken aback by the news, guessing you can't ever really know what will happen.

Haitani tells her that thanks to that, since she and Kuroda are members of the festival executive committee, they're going to be busy. Their school is doing an exhibit on Yukuni's history, after all. Asahi apologizes for giving the two of them even more work. She tells Asahi there's no need to apologize. Their subject is on the legend of Heike which, despite being so interesting, has never had any actual evidence to it before. She gives a quote of "If there's nothing about it you can believe, it's as if it doesn't exist." So she's thankful for Asahi finding that monument. Kuroda thanks her to, saying that all this busywork is keeping his mind off of the avalanche. Asahi tells him she wishes he wouldn't say things that are hard to talk about with such a big smile on his face.

Asahi's phone chimes, and Kuroda apologizes for keeping her when she has her own work to take care of. Asahi tells him it's nothing major, and tells these two executive committee members to do their best. They both thank her.

Asahi: "I won't be outdone by Kuroda and Haitani. I shall perform my duties too."

====1-3====

Asahi: "Himuro Rabi...Kurisu Alexandra... They seem to be heading this way."

Asahi has come to realize that two problems occurred at the same time. Territory disputes have begun. What once used to be roughly 10 girls around at a time has seen a sudden spike recently, likely due to their hometown's protection program. Too many girls moved to the area, so such fighting is inevitable, and they're going to have no choice but to make compromises.

But what Asahi is more concerned about is the other problem... Kyubey is having a girl he's been hammering to contract move right towards a witch's barrier. Asahi decides it would be better to handle this one and avoid another girl being added as fuel to the fire.

Urara is panting, realizing what she's seen is in fact real. She asks Kyubey why he's been following her. Kyubey gives his usual contract request, with Urara not wanting anything to do with whatever he's on about. He ends with asking Urara if she has anything she's ever wished for that she wants granted.

Urara tells him that she's been struggling with money, but she's been able to make some with street performances, at least for the time being at least. Kyubey tells her that he can take away all her fears of the future like the creepy ass cat he is. Urara isn't buying it, saying she doesn't want to be dragged off by some weird invite.

Suddenly they get pulled into a barrier. Kyubey continues his explanation, now moving on to witches and what they do to towns. A familiar tries attacking Urara, so Kyubey tells her to contract or she's going to be killed. She still refuses, and screams out as the familiar is about to hit her. The familiar is destroyed as two girls show up, telling her to go hide while they handle this. All of this is confounding Urara.

====1-4====

Urara: "Contracts - mahou shoujo - what'd you get me mixed up in...!?"

The two mahou shoujo barely managed to defeat the witch and collapse outside. Urara asks if they're okay. They tell her they recover quickly, so she should hurry up and get out of here before Kyubey tries soliciting her again. As they lie there, one tells the other that she can't move. The other says she doesn't want that girl to experience this regret they feel.

Meanwhile, Asahi has gone down an alley, finding Rabi and Alexandra for the first time. Alexandra greets her, asking her to call her Sasha. They're in the same group chat, but have never met in person before. Rabi explains the group was created to watch the city and keep tabs on the number of mahou shoujo within it. Before long the number grew, so it's only natural that not everyone has met each other. She also adds that she isn't good with talking to others, so she doesn't actively contribute much herself. Asahi tells her that even just knowing what's going on is helpful.

Asahi asks about the info regarding the mahou shoujo who contacted them, but the two have only just arrived. Rabi senses mahou shoujo nearby, so she suggests checking it out. They arrive at the scene of the two previous girls on the ground with blackened soul gems. Rabi figures this must be who contacted them. They're clearly suffering and on the verge of witching out. Unfortunately, none of them have a grief seed on hand. Rabi and Sasha ask Asahi, but even she doesn't have any due to the overwhelming amount of girls competing against one another. Asahi points out that there must be one nearby since the witch is gone though.

One of the girls says she couldn't find it nearby, and asks what's going to happen to her. Rabi answers that she doesn't know. Sasha has never heard of what happens when a soul gem clouds up. Suddenly the girls begin witching out, and the three are only just now learning the truth - that they're giving off the same reaction as witches...!

====1-5====

Urara: "Those girls who helped me... What the hell happened to them..."

The trio find themselves inside a fresh witch labyrinth. They start puzzling why those girls had the same reaction as the witch here, and before long Asahi is getting attacked by a familiar. Rabi tells them they can't stand by and need to attack what's in front of them. She asks Sasha what her magic is, and Sasha explains it weakens her enemy's willpower. Rabi says she can use that to slow the enemy down so she can get in to attack them. As the two begin fighting back, Asahi yells to them that the witch is on the move, making Rabi pause. Rabi is coming to realize that those girls must really be...

Rabi gets hit by a familiar before she can react. Asahi rushes over to check on her. Rabi is certain now that the girls became witches. Asahi stops, realizing this would mean killing their own kind. Sasha agrees with her, and the witches get away, dumping them back into the alley. They wonder how they can even fight while feeling like this.

Rabi asks if Kyubey is here. Of course he is, the little shit. Rabi asks what is the meaning of this. The girls seemed like witches to the three of them. Kyubey says that's right, and explains that they become witches when their soul gems turn black with impurity.

====1-6====

Alexandra: "What...Kyubey said just now... He was lying, right...?"

Rabi, visibly upset, says she doesn't recall being told that when she contracted. Kyubey says "That's because you didn't ask. Was there a problem?" Sasha asks what the hell is he talking about, of course there's a problem! It's the same as being dead! Kyubey reassures her that her people are not dying, and in fact are growing in number, so why does it matter if one person lives or dies?

Asahi tells him that in their world, individual lives and deaths are given utmost respect, so failing to inform one of risks is basically fraud. Kyubey talks back, saying granting a wish should be more than enough for what little price they pay. He doesn't believe it's warranted to call it fraud.

Asahi drops him with a single shot, saying it's not for him to decide what is worth that price. She turns to the others, apologizing for not letting Kyubey finish. Rabi tells her not to worry, as she would have killed him if she hadn't.

Urara is behind them, drawing attention. Sasha asks if she just saw everything. Urara says she felt bad about running away, and then saw something weird happen to the two girls that saved her, and asks if they're okay. Rabi tells her that the existence mahou shoujo live with is one where they protect the world from witches like the one she just saw. However, the end of it all is that each girl becomes a witch themselves. Rabi tells her to forget about ever wanting to contract. Asahi joins in, telling her this was all an illusion. Sasha also tells her it was all a dream, an illusion, whatever, so just pretend you never saw any of this. Urara is questioning, but in the end she says she understands.

The trio notice the girls' soul gems are now gone, but their bodies are still warm, as if they lost their souls. The long and short of it is that these soul gems are their lives. Sasha can't believe it, but this is reality for them. She starts tearing up. The lone rabbit Asahi killed is now shown on screen.

Asahi
We're like prey unaware of the existence of traps.
Unaware of anything, we run across hills and fields, only to realize we've been caught by them.
The reality that one's life is being held in the clutches of someone or something unseen...

====Boss 1====

Asahi: "The truth we must face is too heavy to bear..."

===Chapter 2: Sympathy===

====2-1====

Alexandra: "It doesn't feel like I'm alive. This feels horrible..."

Alexandra is with her group practicing their singing for the festival, but her teacher finds them needing to practice more. Alexandra is more aware than ever that she controls her vocal chords, changing pitch as she sings. She is still living like a human, but she's not human anymore... She remembers the moment those two girls turned to witches again. She now knows that she's a witch, but currently still a mahou shoujo. Barely a human, but still the same Kurisu Alexandra she always was.

Outside of class, a couple girls are chatting that the teacher is strict, then notice Sasha is looking down. She puts on a fake smile and tells them there's nothing wrong. One of them asks if she actually does like her teacher like the rumors are saying, but them immediately says sorry for bringing that up to her. The other girl tells her off for saying something wrong, and the girl apologizes again. She asks Sasha again if something is wrong though.

Sasha says she's the one who should be worried, as the fest is coming up and she's playing the leading part. She's not sure if she's going to be able to handle it, but they tell her she'll be just fine. She's the lead because she gives it her all, after all.

Sasha begins wondering if those two girls she was with the other day are doing okay. Himuro Rabi and Miura Asahi, was it... She wants to send them a message, but really she's just seeking comfort. She knows they would just see right through her intentions, so she would feel guilty doing so...

====2-2====

Rabi: "Even in times of silence, the vibrant stars are watching me."

Rabi is alone on the rooftop of her school in the middle of the night, after the final bell has chimed. Only the stars above can see her now. The stars have watched the earth and its history, and the mahou shoujo who have inhabited it. They've "observed" her transition into a lifeless being.

Suddenly Shirogane heads up to the roof to see her. She's once again met up with Himuro-senpai to gaze at the stars. Rabi tells her all she does is lie down and watch them. She tells Shirogane that accompanying her like this would be difficult to make a habit of, but Shirogane tells her that she's not here to hang out with Himuro, she's just here because she likes doing it. Rabi tells Shirogane that she's not popular like she is, so she should go back to living a happy life with her friends in school. Shirogane tells her that she has no interest in others. Even if she's the center of attention in class, all it does is make her look good. She has no interest in getting to know people in class, that's why she's comfortable with the distance she has now with Himuro-senpai.

Rabi tells her she must not be interested in her either, then. Shirogane replies that she's the only one she's interested in. Rabi sighs and tells her to help herself then. Shirogane tells her that she feels like she finally understands what she said when they first met on the roof. Rabi doesn't remember, so Shirogane recites it:
"Empty beings like yourself who live without recognition preserve themselves by being seen by many."
Rabi explains that Shirogane is one who desires friends, but is alone. Like isolated delusions. Shirogane says she full of contradictions like that. She should be good at attracting people and making friends, but she finds no meaning to it. Rabi tells her she really is wasteful, and that she envies her. Rabi recites more words of the universe:

"In a world where society and self exist through perception of others, you have attained enough to be known by both."
"Assuming the stars have a will like I do, I think you can do enough by exposure alone, even if you don't try to connect to this world, though."

Despite saying this, Rabi is trying to hold back a hurt look on her face, Shirogane notices. She asks Himuro-senpai if something is wrong. Rabi tells her she doesn't know who she is anymore, that she doesn't want to admit that she's not human anymore. Shirogane questioningly tells her that she is still a human.

Rabi wonders what the moon and stars must think, having seen the so-called eternity of history. She thought they would comfort her, much how the sun shines light upon everything in the day. But now instead of comforting, she feels like they're mocking her. Shirogane tells her with a stern face that she's been watching Himuro-senpai just as long as the moon and stars have, and, changing to a smile, reassures her that she's okay - that she is human.

Rabi senses a witch's reaction in that moment, but smiles, thanking Shirogane for the boost in confidence. She asks if Shirogane will meet here again. Shirogane replies that yes, when she feels like it.

A short time later, Rabi's phone pings with a message from Sasha. She writes that she just felt a witch's reaction, but if anyone is around, could she talk to everyone? She continues that she feels trapped and can't get out, and doesn't know who she is anymore. Rabi says out loud that we're all the same...

====2-3====

The trio meet up on the dark streets, with Sasha apologizing for sending them a message out of the blue. Rabi and Asahi tell her they've been feeling the same way. Sasha tells them they have to defeat the witch and get the grief seed, or else they'll become witches too. She hasn't worked up the courage to fight, but she's also afraid of becoming one. She tells them she's being incredibly selfish, but she wants a friend. Someone who will help her face reality and fight witches.

Asahi tells Sasha that's honestly exactly what she wanted to hear. She's been going through the same pain, and her soul gem is getting cloudy, just like Sasha's. Rabi tells them that the three of them will fall at this rate, so she would find it fortunate if us impure ones could fight together. She senses the witch again, telling them this is the best time to check how compatible they'll be.

The three of them head to the barrier, still nervous wrecks about how they're killing their own. But if they leave the witch be, the city will be cursed. Asahi ponders that those girls who became witches were saving the girl they found, so if the turn around now, their sacrifices will be in vain. Rabi tells them that in order to keep the selfless hope those girls had alive, they need to defeat these witches. Asahi and Sasha agree - they can't let the past be ruined by letting these witches go.

Asahi: "Defeating witches is kindness... And will keep their hope alive as mahou shoujo...!"

====2-4====

Alexandra: "At least I can help them pass on peacefully."

The three of them work together to weaken the witch, leaving the finishing blow to Sasha, but she's having second thoughts. This was once someone who she used to study with, go to her club with, someone who had a family...and now she's trying to kill her. Wait no, Himuro and Miura are right. Taking out witches will save the mahou shoujo who gave their lives to save everyone and wished for miracles. Sasha begins hyperventilating, so Asahi and Rabi move in to finish it.

Outside, Rabi tells Asahi to give Sasha the grief seed too, saying she won't last much longer without it. Sasha tells her no, since she panicked at the last second and caused them trouble. Asahi shoves the grief seed onto her anyway, to her surprise. Asahi says it would be more trouble for her to become a witch, leaving Sasha with a sad look on her face. Asahi drops her stern look and tells her rather, it would be lonely without her. Sasha starts crying and thanks her.

Moving on, they still feel like they're trapped despite coming to terms with fighting witches. Sasha brings up a cat she used to keep at home. One day it got out of house, and since then it's always looked back inside like it misses them. So maybe the cat was always looking out the window because it understood the situation it was in and was looking for help. She asks if they think they're the same as that cat. Suddenly knowing the truth, suffering because of it, and looking for freedom and salvation.

Asahi says when she learned the truth, it reminded her of a rabbit she shot. It reminded her that she's trapped by the unknown. Rabi says she's felt like the stars themselves were closing in on her as they watch her. An emptiness began enveloping her, as if no one would ever understand them, since they now lie beyond human logic.

Rabi continues, saying she once suffered from an illness that too was barely understood, so she abandoned the being known as Himuro Rabi. She came to know all too well that people are intolerant of what they don't understand. Asahi tells them that this ominous sense of being controlled is something only they will ever understand. Sasha tells them this is something they alone have to face.

====2-5====

At the station, Sasha asks the two where they live. Asahi is from Toki Village, so she grabs a bus from here. Rabi lives at the Yukuni hot-springs village, so she takes a different bus from here. Sasha giggles and tells them she lives at the port area in the opposite direction.

Asahi remarks that for someone who just learned the fate of mahou shoujo, Sasha-dono has a pretty natural smile. Sasha gets embarrassed to hear that. Asahi realizes that she went overboard and made her smile disappear.

Over a TV nearby, Yume Urara is being introduced as a street performer who's popular with the kids. Urara is glad to be on the air. They realize that's the girl who was saved the other day, the one Kyubey was trying to get to contract and saw the other girls witch out. Sasha has seen her perform before, and she's on local TV sometimes, so lots of kids know her. Asahi, being from the mountains, isn't familiar with her.

Urara is being interviewed, explaining that her siblings got her into performing since they struggled to even pay for food. They had a farm that kept them busy, but they never had entertainment since they couldn't afford toys. That's when she saw street performing as what she wanted. That's when she started balancing and tossing boxes, then made her own diabolo and began practicing with it. All her siblings loved it, and now it's become her job.

Sasha says that specials like this are what got people talking about her. Asahi agrees that seeing someone so young working hard makes you want to cheer for them. Sasha tells her it's kinda mean to say, but it's like giving her a sympathy vote.

Urara continues on the TV, saying that she's grateful she has partners and fans alike who accept her despite her past. Rabi suddenly frowns upon hearing that. Sasha notices she looks meek, and asks what's wrong. Rabbi suddenly pulls her and Asahi into a hug. They both wonder what's up with her. Rabi tells them she realizes why she's been feeling loneliness. She didn't feel fear, emptiness, or anger when she realizes she's trapped - she was feeling loneliness. It's because she's wanted people to accept her for who she is in the same way Urara has been. She's never known anyone who would accept her for the situation she's found herself in. She begins crying, saying it was all just loneliness. Asahi and Sasha both understand how she feels - they have no one but themselves and other mahou shoujo who share this secret.

Rabi: "I've finally come to understand what it is I've wanted..."

====2-6====

Rabi: "In retrospect, just having my circumstances be understood was helping me."

Rabi begins by telling them she lost her father many years ago. Her (assuming here) grandparents are there, telling her to place the flowers and see him off while she cries. Her grandmother tells her that her father will watch over her. Her grandfather says that after he rises into the sky, he will return as a drop of rain. Her father will always be with her as memories in her heart.

Back then, there were many people who called out to her, but she never listened to them as she was overcome with grief. She felt no one understood what she was going through, so their words felt hollow. She was more angry than anything for people telling her pointless things. She felt it unnecessary for them to understand her feelings.

Urara's interview continues on the TV. She tells the woman that she used to be teased and made fun of, and people would be white-eyed staring at her for walking into stores looking dirty. But even so, there were people out there who helped her, who helped her family.

Asahi assumes that just have connections with the outside world is enough to make changes. The three of them are like prisoners sharing a cell, but with no one to visit them. Sasha says that no one knows or understands their sadness or suffering now. Rabi says she knows people are intolerant of what they don't understand, but she still wants sympathy from someone - anyone. It doesn't have to be understanding or being freed from her fate. It can just be words of comfort to ease her mind even for just a while.

When Rabi's father passed away, the frustration she felt had helped her. She's come to realize that now more than ever she wants that temporary sympathy, or even just weak encouragement...

====Boss 2====

Rabi: "Even now the dreams of my father fill me with anger and sympathy, but also relief."

===Chapter 3: Rule===

====3-1====

Asahi: "Even if the witch is a mahou shoujo, I am ready to fight."

Up in the mountain area of Yukuni, Asahi has finished defeating a witch despite showing hesitation. She's decided along with Sasha-dono and Himuro-dono that they will defeat the witches as their way of saving them. She heads into the woods away from where the unconscious people are, glad she brought her hunting rifle with her so she can pretend she was just passing by. She finds an animal out in the woods, takes aim, and kills it.

Returning home, she explains to her mother that she woke up early to go take a walk, and hunted a rabbit for us at the festival. Her mother reminds her that they already had enough as of yesterday. Asahi tells her she thought it would be better to have extra than not enough. Her grandmother tells her that's wrong. Her father then tells her to sit in front of him, as he then hits her.

He tells her that he would never object to her hunting to live, but hunting just to hunt is inexcusable. He continues, telling her to not treat the life of a creature so crudely. Asahi tries to tell him what she said before, but he tells her that if he can't get through to her now, then the life she's taken will have been for nothing. He also noticed that Asahi has been hunting as an excuse to vent her anxiety. She tries to tell him that she isn't, but he knows that she's been acting weird lately, as a parent he knows these things.

He knows Asahi was taught the importance of life, but even so she taken her problems out on a rabbit's life, giving it an unjust death. Asahi thinks to herself that her life is being held by the unseen, but then begins crying and apologizes to her father. He tells her that she's apologizing to the wrong one here. He tells her to sit here and eat the rabbit as a lesson, regardless if she's late or not today. Asahi truly is sorry for what she's done.

====3-2====

Asahi arrives at school, feeling worse about herself, though agreeing she had been hunting to vent her problems. She thinks to herself that she too will die needlessly if she's hunted as one tied to the fate of mahou shoujo. She knows she needs to rethink how to face life.

Haitani and Kuroda say good morning to her, with Asahi noticing the two are always together. Kuroda asks about it, and Haitani explains that since they've known each other since they were little and so much together, outsiders must see them as inseparable pair. Kuroda realizes this and thinks it's kinda embarrassing, making Haitani ask if he hates being around her. He says it's not like that, and brings up the stone monument.

Haitani asks Asahi if she would mind being interviewed later regarding it. They tell her they need more content for their exhibit, and having the first person who discovered it would help. Haitani begs her to accept, while Asahi thinks back to what she told Rabi and Sasha earlier about having connections changing them for the better. Asahi realizes there's meaning in being known, so she accepts the interview request.

Asahi begins wondering if the two would believe her if she told them about her fate as a mahou shoujo and will become a witch one day. She wonders if they would believe her in the way they believe in the legend of Heike, despite no evidence. Himuro-dono said that she wanted even just weak sympathy and encouragement. Asahi thinks that she's feeling the same thing, which made her wander over to hunting as her way to vent, and is sure these emotions are taking root somewhere unseen within her. Would Kuroda and Haitani believe her and feel sad for her? She can't tell them, no. It has to remain a secret, as that's part of being a mahou shoujo...

Asahi: "It would be much easier if I could just openly confess about mahou shoujo, but..."

====3-3====

Alexandra is meekly singing in her class/practice, thinking about Rabi telling her story of when her father died. She too doesn't want to be alone, and wants her friends, teachers, and family to know what's happening to them. She just wants a little comfort in all this.

She can't even bring herself to sing anymore, feeling like she's about to cry. Her teacher asked her to stay after, but Sasha knows it's because she can't sing. He's noticed that she is failing to keep up, and isn't sure if he can ask her to be the lead anymore with the festival so close. He tells her that there's another reason he asked her to stay after, though. He doesn't hold anything back, and asks her if something had happened. She immediately starts crying, not able to tell him. He apologizes if it's something uncomfortable to talk about, but reminds her to talk to someone if it's too much to handle alone. He even offers to go ask another staff member to come talk to her if she wants.

Sasha tells him it's nothing serious and was just a shock to her, so she'll get better. He still brings up that she won't be able to lead anymore, but instead is willing to let her have the solo instead, to her surprise. He thinks her wavering voice, despite not being in balance with the rest of the team, is still great individually, so if she wants to she can have her voice reach people through the solo. Sasha thinks to herself that her old crush still understands her and is there for her in his own way, but wishes she could tell him the truth of what's going on.

But everything regarding mahou shoujo life is a secret. That they're fighting witches, and will become witches, it has to all remain a secret.

Alexandra: "Keeping secrets is hard, isn't it..."

====3-4====

The next night on her school's rooftop, Rabi discovers that Shirogane really does show up here all the time. Shirogane tells her that she has to be the one who proves that Himuro-senpai exists. Rabi tells her that's a very critical role to be burdened with. Shirogane tells her it really is.

Rabi changes subject to the festival, asking if Shirogane if she's doing alright since her place is a farm. Shirogane has no interest in it though. She asks Himuro-senpai if she's helping the hot spring village with the festival, but Rabi isn't interested either, so it's simple help during the day. Shirogane says they're really alike, then catches Rabi staring at her. Rabi asks to keep staring a little longer, so Shirogane says sure.

Rabi begins thinking how Shirogane has been the only one who proved she exists until she recently met Miura and Kurisu. She's certain Shirogane doesn't lie about herself, yet Rabi lies to her and continues to be accepted by her. She thinks that if Shirogane knows nothing about who she really is, then her existence has never been proven, and she's betraying her.

Rabi begins to speak up, but Shirogane already knows something's been bothering her. Rabi tells her she's been keeping a secret from her and wants to confess it as her to prove she's sincere. Shirogane accepts and will listen to whatever she has to say without judgment. Rabi starts, but quickly finds herself unable to speak.

She feels a pang in her heart and wonders why she can't just tell her. Is it because being a mahou shoujo must be kept secret? Because she feels like she will be hated? Because she thinks Shirogane will realize she's weird? Or will she become attracted to her? There's no reason for her to be filling up with this anxiety, as none of it has to do with Shirogane. There shouldn't be any problem, so why...!

She tries to speak again, but Shirogane grabs her by the neck and asks why won't she tell her? She's always believed in her, and asks who or what is she. Rabi struggles to tell her to let go, while Shirogane screams at her to hurry up and tell her. Rabi notices a witch's kiss on Shirogane, not paying attention the reaction nearby. She throws Shirogane off of her, and shames herself for letting her own problems catch her off guard. Rabi transforms, saying she'll save her at once.

Rabi: "I have people I must protect. This is not the time for dreaming."

====3-5====

Shirogane wakes up with Rabi by her side. She's confused and doesn't understand why she started strangling her senpai, but Rabi tells her to calm down, as nothing has happened. Rabi begins telling her that it's her duty as a mahou shoujo to protect children like Shirogane from witches influencing them. Shirogane begins asking what that means, when Rabi transforms in front of her. Rabi isn't holding back at all now. She explains Shirogane tried strangling her because of a witch, and she is a mahou shoujo who fights said witches. She explains witches cursing the world, and how Shirogane must have had weakness in her heart that the witch was able to take advantage of.

Shirogane slowly begins to understand, and realizes Himuro-senpai must save a lot of people with this other side of her. Rabi then tells her that they run out of magic, they too become witches, so it's not a perfect life. Even if it's hard to understand, Shirogane will still believe her senpai's words.

Rabi then gets a message on her phone. It's about another witch in the area, so she has to go take care of it, telling Shirogane she will see her another time. Rabi leaps off the rooftop and takes off at inhuman speed in front of Shirogane.

Rabi: "I'm sure it's okay. There's no need to hesitate to talk about mahou shoujo."

====3-6====

Alexandra: What courage! I've yet to say anything about mahou shoujo...

Rabi has now met up with Sasha and Asahi, letting them know she spoke out about who she really is. Sasha asks what Shirogane's reaction was, as no one would ever believe something like this. Rabi says that while Shirogane didn't seem to understand, she is one to process what she's told before saying whether she believes or not. Sasha is amazed at this, wondering why she's been holding back when there's people she trusts. Asahi feels the same way. She's wanted to tell others, but felt it had to be kept secret.

Rabi says that they're living through the impossible, and originally thought it was wrong to seek comfort and sympathy, but now she knows there's more than her own life to lose here. They others know she means they're also risking becoming witches. Getting their wishes granted has left them with more problems.

They all realize now that they're less happy than before they had their wishes. Rabi tells them that she's been thinking they should start trying to get some of their happiness back. In other words, there's nothing wrong with telling others their new problem and seeking comfort, as they've done good and deserve good in return. Rabi suggests the three of them try spreading the truth about mahou shoujo.

====Boss 3====

Alexandra: "Why would I be bound by a rule that doesn't exist?"

===Chapter 4: Spread===

====4-1====

Now on an internet broadcast, Urara's announcing this week's show with her co-star Kurara, titled "Night Fun Homeroom". For this episode they're back to their normal recording studio, since they can't afford to be on TV all the time even if it's a remote station. Urara tells Kurara not to reveal the circumstances of their budget, then goes on to explain that due to her late nights of dealing with witches she had to cut their budget.

Kurara shouts there it is again: Urara keeps bringing up this "witch" urban legend she's been really into lately. Urara tells her that she really was attacked, and was saved by these mahou shoujo! These heroes go out of their way to save people every day, so everyone should support them if they see them! Kurara tells her she hasn't seen any, and wouldn't want to be in a situation where they'd be needed if they did exist. Urara agrees, maybe it's safer to never actually meet one, but hey, they have it rough out there, so give them your support anyway. Kurara announces that's the end of Urara's occult corner, but Urara tells this is still the opening talk of their show, and don't make it sound that way!

Sasha shows the trio that Urara runs a show on the internet, and the last show they saw was on cable TV and archived on their site now. The show is more meant for teens it seems. Rabi knows that they didn't have any way to really spread the truth of their existence until now. Asahi continues, saying that saving that girl ended up being major help for them. Sasha tells them that until she saw this episode, she had felt completely trapped, but now has gained confidence.

Asahi brings up that they now need to reveal themselves somehow. Sasha tells Rabi the broadcast ended an hour ago and is already archived, so people are probably watching it already. Rabi decides that she will listen for rumors spreading at school tomorrow, and Sasha says she'll bring it up with her classmates.

Asahi is now heading home alone, glad that Sasha-dono is there for them to understand the latest trends. But suddenly she senses a witch nearby, following it to an area where the avalanche and landslide combo occurred. There she finds Kuroda, grieving over the loss of her mother. He ridicules himself for being unable to keep her safe, and begins placing a knife to this throat. Asahi rushes in and stops him by force. Kuroda gets angry and begins attacking her, showing Asahi that he's got a witch's kiss. Asahi knocks him out cold as she begins thinking back to Rabi and Sasha wanting to try spreading their existence. Asahi is ready to give it a try and see how Kuroda reacts.

Asahi: "There's no need to hesitate. Just confess how Himuro-dono has..."

====4-2====

Kuroda wakes up after the battle, wondering what's up with Asahi's outfit. Asahi says it's embarrassing to just outright state it, but tells him that she's a mahou shoujo. Kuroda wasn't himself, so she went to check on him. He was being influenced by a witch, so she came to his rescue. Kuroda heard about these words from Urara's show, but thought it was just some urban legend with cosplay. Asahi tells him that's horrid, and tells him that she's one of the mahou shoujo that Urara saw. Kuroda is still asking if this is serious, and Asahi tells him she has no reason to lie, as it's embarrassing enough as it is.

Asahi drops Kuroda's knife to the ground. He begins remembering why he came out here, and how horrible he feels, and how he thought to just let himself die along with everyone else who didn't make it. Asahi tells him to stop. While what he's feeling is genuine, the witch made what he's feeling significantly worse. He was caught in a moment of weakness. Kuroda says he never had actual thoughts of dying, but Asahi knows. She explains it's the witches who push them and take their lives.

Kuroda says he's starting to feel his true feelings come back to him, and knows Asahi wouldn't lie about something like this. Asahi is glad he believes her, and says she never thought her existence would just get revealed on a broadcast like this. Asahi begins taking off, but Kuroda stops her. Kuroda smiles and thanks her once again.

Asahi: "I told him...I got through to him...!! There are people who will understand us!"

====4-3====

Asahi is at school, impressed by the power of media turning their existence from nothing to an urban legend on such short notice. Haitani rushes over and thanks her for the interview the other day. Asahi reminds her that all her story was is that she stumbled upon it. Haitani reassures her she can fix it in post. Asahi spots piles of handwritten papers that she's using for the exhibit.

Kuroda follows shortly behind, taking the heavy papers from her. He then asks Asahi if she can spare a minute to talk privately. Haitani kyaas, wondering if there's something going on between him and Miura...!? He wonders what's going on in that head of hers, and tells it nothing like that.

Inside a classroom, Asahi asks what this is about, then begins blushing thanks to what Haitani said. Kuroda wants to ask Asahi for a favor: he's going to confess his feelings on the day of the festival! He has to point out that it's to Haitani, so Asahi gives a ohh, so you are huh haha kind of reaction. He asks what's with that reaction. She says there isn't really any way that she can help with that, but Kuroda says there is.

Asahi starts making excuses that they're always together anyways, plus she's clumsy as can be, but Kuroda says no, you're a mahou shoujo, aren't you...? Asahi is suddenly surprised, asking if he really did believe that, so he responds saying, huh, you were lying? She stammers that no, no, that was the truth, it's just a huge relief and shock to be believed. Kuroda continues that if she really is one, then she should help with his confession, as in protecting him from witches. Asahi eventually agrees to such an odd request, but adds that if he gets rejected it's not her fault. She tells him that she's doing this because a friend has asked her to (relating back to MS 6-3).

Now outside, Asahi gets a text from Rabi that Kyubey is after Urara again, so she's going after her in case of more witches. Rabi writes that if either of them are near them (Miura or Kurisu), they should come to the spot she's attaching to this message. If they try sensing her magic, they might find it easier to locate her that way.

Asahi: "More misfortune for Yume Urara. She doesn't want to contract, yet continues to be followed..."

====4-4====

Rabi: "To approach her for contracting within a barrier... What do you think a human life is..."

With witch exterminated, Rabi is standing outside with Urara. Urara thanks her for once again saving her life. Rabi says she just doesn't want her to fall victim to Kyubey. Kyubey reassures her that he means no harm, he just wants her to sign the dang contract. Rabi asks him if there's any particular reason he keeps chasing her towards witches. No matter what Kyubey says, Rabi refuses to listen to him, so he takes his leave.

Sighing, Rabi asks if Urara is okay. Urara confesses that she's the one who went towards danger this time. She tried to recreate the same situation as the last time she got attacked. Rabi wonders why - was she attempting suicide and she just got in the way...? If she's so troubled, it's no wonder the witches are captivated with her. Urara corrects her that she just wanted to see mahou shoujo again, especially the ones who saved her last time.

Urara has been talking about them on her show in hopes that those three would be listening in, and has been doing whatever she can to find Kyubey and more witches. Rabi chuckles, realizing that the three of them got hooked. Urara tells her she didn't even know their names or how to find them. Rabi says that it's thanks to her that students have become aware of mahou shoujo, and that's a good thing.

Rabi senses the others approaching, then tells Urara that they can do introductions and head to a store to chat. Rabi then asks what was it that Urara wanted to talk about so much. Urara tells her she wants to know about those two mahou shoujo who saved her originally.

====4-5====

Urara: "Cause I got saved by those mahou shoujo and ran away, but I came back...

At a cafe, the trio explain what happened to those girls. Urara asks if it's true, and asks if they're lying about becoming witches. Rabi still isn't sure herself. Asahi says they only just learned the truth that same day Urara was saved. Sasha tells her no matter what, no matter how much trouble you're in, don't ever become a mahou shoujo. If you take Kyubey's word, your fate is sealed. Urara understands, and hates how awful this sounds. Asahi tells Urara that she understands if she hates them, as they're the ones who hold this curse. Urara tells her she's wrong, and that it's an unfair price they've had to pay.

Rabi mentions this is why they told her about them, because they want the world to know so they can be comforted and supported. Urara assures her that she's not going to sit by and watch after they've saved her. She'll help any way she can. Sasha tells her she's already helped them. It's thanks to Urara and her show that students are starting to learn about them. Rabi is grateful to her and the influence media holds. Asahi even mentions that she told a friend yesterday about herself, someone who had also seen the show. In fact, he accepted her and was kind about it. Urara is surprised that this of all things was a way she helped them.

Sasha brings up that amongst all the mahou shoujo in their group chat, many of them are starting to talk about revealing themselves as well. The part about them becoming witches doesn't get talked about a lot since it's still a touchy subject, but they're still reaching out to people they trust about mahou shoujo and witches.

Urara tells them this is their chance to tell all of Yukuni about them. She's going to be up on stage for the festival and got time booked for an outside episode of Night Fun Homeroom, so she can introduce the three of them as guests and talk about mahou shoujo. It'll probably make Kurara mad, but it's their chance to ascend from urban legends! The trio think it's a risk, but Urara and Sasha usher them to think about what to say, as there's not much time left until the festival. Rabi agrees to it; they need do this correctly otherwise it will create confusion. The trio tell Urara that they'll do it.

====4-6====

Urara: "I'm so glad I did the show. I can give back a little!"

At home, Rabi is thinking to herself and speaking to her late father. She's sure letting people know is the right thing to do. She remembers all he would read were hard philosophy books, but sometimes he would tell her what they were about. She remembers one such book being on the subject of suffering. "People feel growth by overcoming things. When we feel powerful, we're happy." She believes is what it said. She doesn't like the idea of happiness coming from power, but understands how overcoming something gives confidence.

She's following the fate that mahou shoujo have been given, suffering without anyone knowing. However, if she can overcome the wall of being known, she's certain she too will become happy. She steps outside, ready to go to the Yukuni All-star festival and get across that wall.

====Boss 4====

Urara: "I'm spreading the knowledge of mahou shoujo. My show's doing something so meaningful."

===Chapter 5: Snipe===

====5-1====

We begin with an overview of places in Yukuni while the All-star Festival commercial plays again. Sasha can't believe it's finally here. Her teacher asks her group if they're ready for the performance, and they all say yes. He tells them there's still time until they begin, so they're free to go check out the festival so they're not nervous. Their next meet is in 30 minutes. He then asks Sasha if she's feeling better now. She says she is, and will be ready for her solo today.

Rabi's grandfather (or an old man from the inn?) asks her if she received the pamphlets to hand out yet. She tells him the proprietress of the Lucky Ryokan just left to go get them. Her mother asks her if she's stocked all the vegetables, saying these are the vegetables that cured her, so she hopes people will take the time to learn about them. She tells Rabi that she's sure her grandfather and father will be proud. Shirogane then comes to greet her senpai.

Asahi's stall is fully prepared as Kuroda stops by to ask how it's going. She tells him it's all ready, and offers him some meat. Kuroda says he's had rabbit and deer before so he's good. Haitani comes by to tell Kuroda she needs help. She tells him to go on ahead as she needs to talk to Miura for a second, so he leaves first.

Haitani tells Asahi that she's finished the interview article and wanted to thank her again for the help. Asahi humbly tells her there's no need to thank her again, and Haitani says she likes that about her. She then says there's one more thing, and it's about Kuroda: she thinks Kuroda is about to confess to her. Asahi shutters that she figured it out, prompting Haitani to ask if she's okay. Haitani says she'll probably go along with whatever he has planned as long as he's not weird about it, but isn't sure if she wants to go out with him. She says that when other girls get with a guy they end up distancing from their friends, and she wants to continue to be Miura's friend. Asahi tells her she wouldn't hate someone just because of distance, so she should accept Kuroda.

Urara and Kurara are on stage, ready to countdown to the start of the show. Everyone counts down from five, kicking off the Yukuni All-star Festival!

Alexandra: "Night Fun Homeroom is up on stage, so I can calm my nerves♪"

====5-2====

Asahi runs into Himuro, who is wandering the festival with Shirogane. They exchange friendly introductions, and Asahi tells them she's on her way to see the executive committee's exhibit, offering them to join her. Rabi tells her she's never had interest in anything, so this is good. Asahi comments that that's a blunt way of putting it.

Rabi and Shirogane are now going over the culture and performing arts of Yukuni's hot spring inns. Shirogane seems genuinely interested in it. Asahi explains to her that those who live in the mountains of Yukuni tend to do hunting or forest work, but some families, including her own, do both. Shirogane points over to an article about the legend of Heike, and Asahi tells her that it's from her. She isn't sure if the legend is real or not, but she did find that monument.

Shirogane then begins reading a quote from the article, that research results may provide further evidence into whether it's real. She utters out the words "...Proof of existence." She begins frowning, saying that it's the same as being unseen, just like mahou shoujo. Rabi has to explain to Asahi that Shirogane is the one who she revealed her identity to. Shirogane tells Asahi that she knows about the trio, and offers to help any way she can. She may not have friends, but she also has no boundaries.

Asahi asks Shirogane why she chose to believe Himuro-dono. Shirogane recites Rabi's quote from the rooftop, though making one change to it: "Empty beings like ourselves who live without recognition preserve ourselves by being seen by many." She explains to a confused Asahi that Himuro-senpai told her that, and is the one who preserves her as an individual. She doesn't know how to deny the one who proves her existence. Asahi asks her if this means she trusts Himuro-dono no matter what. Shirogane replies that she does, even with knowing what she will become at the end of a mahou shoujo's life. Rabi tells Asahi that they shouldn't use Shirogane as a method to prove their existence to the world, as Shirogane has an undying friendship to her that would skew public perception. Asahi agrees, believing they should just stick to their current plan. It's about time for Kurisu to sing up on stage, so they get moving.

Asahi: "Hmm...Does she take after Himuro-dono? Shirogane-dono is also quite the mysterious type..."

====5-3====

Alexandra let's out a big sigh of relief, saying she was so nervous up there. Asahi reassures her she sang beautifully. Rabi too was surprised at how strong a voice can be with practice, and preferred her solo over the rest of the choir. Sasha kyaa~s in delight, thanking them for the embarrassing kind words.

Urara and Kurara are back up on stage, announcing that things are halfway done, but coming up next is the director of Yukuni's culture museum speaking with a scholar of folklore. Afterwards is the duo with their diabolo performance, followed by a special Night Fun Homeroom. On this episode they'll be having guests on, which Kurara guesses correctly, is featuring mahou shoujo that have been speaking out to students in Yukuni. Urara hopes that everyone won't miss this grand moment where an urban legend becomes reality. Later they'll be announcing content ranking votes, etc. And without further delay, let's have our two distinguishes senseis make their appearance!

The museum director appears first, saying they may have met him on a field trip before. Next is Satomi Tasuke, who was invited here for a talk today by the director when he found out he was visiting. Rabi's eyes go wide. Shirogane asks her if something's wrong, but Rabi says it's nothing, he just looks a little like an acquaintance.

Suddenly the trio feel a witch's reaction. What's more, it's the witches of the two girls they saw. The trio begin asking for help and preparing to fight.

Rabi: "Since so many people have gathered here today, we must be careful..."

====5-4====

Alexandra texts the group chat, announcing two surviving witches have been detected at the Yukuni All-star Festival, and they're growing stronger. There's 3 of them there, but they would like to reduce damage as much as possible, so they would like any help possible. One person replies that her and another are nearby. Another says she's too busy within the Festival to help, but she's sure those two will be enough. Sasha says out loud they can't afford to wait for those 2 for backup. Rabi tells them they'll just have to go on ahead and make it a 2 part assault.

They arrive at one barrier, but Asahi finds that one of the witches moved on. Sasha tells them she'll hold off this one while they go find the other. Rabi senses the other witch is still close, and tells Kurisu since she's support, she should stick with someone. Asahi volunteers to solo this witch while they split.

Asahi: "Well, I opened my big mouth, but can I actually do this alone?"

====5-5====

Urara: "It's almost time for our mahou shoujo's turn. I'm getting kinda excited..."

Urara and Kurara thank the two for the wonderful chat. Kurara didn't even know what folklore was all about, but now she's interested. Tasuke is also glad he got to spend time talking to so many people. Kuroda is more happy that they talked about the exhibit they made than the folklore talk.

Kuroda and Haitani praise each other and gives thanks. Kuroda tries to put Haitani up on a pedestal, but she says she's glad the two of them worked so hard on it before and after class, so it was all equal effort, right? Kuroda disagrees. She's cared for him ever since he lost his mother in the avalanche, she's the one who invited him to the committee, so she's been working extra hard to keep him cheered up. Haitani tells him that she likes him, so she wanted to be his support.

Meanwhile, Asahi is up against the first witch. It's chasing after a dagger Asahi imbued with her magic, distracting it so she can land a bullet in it safely. It begins going after Asahi. She tries to keep calm, telling herself a trapped animal is a shot animal. She knows the witch is dying and is suffering, so the only thing left to do is put her out of her misery. Just one more to go!

Inside the other barrier, Sasha is weakening the witch with her music, leaving it vulnerable for Rabi. Rabi thinks to herself that this will save the girl. The girl who had hope as a mahou shoujo, who had purpose in fighting witches. She will free this girl from the curse she suffers from. She strikes, but it wasn't enough to finish the witch. It counterattacks, hitting Rabi and fleeing the scene. Sasha is surprised it could still move even after being affected by her magic. It must have gotten too strong from staying alive this long. It's leaving the Festival grounds, but they still have to go after it.

====5-6====

Rabi: "To be this tough already... I didn't expect such an incredibly dangerous opponent..."

Asahi contacts them through telepathy, finding out the witch has taken off. They're going to meet up with the other 2 girls soon, so the 4 of them should be able to handle it. Asahi says she'll head back to the festival as a precaution. Rabi leaves Asahi to the communication so they can concentrate on locating the witch, as it's moving fast.

They catch up to it finally, but it seems almost as if it's hiding. Rabi notices the witch has a clear line of sight of the festival from here. Sasha senses two mahou shoujo approaching, most likely the two she contacted. Rabi tells her they'll go in first and they can provide backup.

Asahi is rushing to get back to the festival, but hears a sudden explosion and screams from the crowds at the festival grounds. Urara is up on the stage, screaming what the hell just happened!? Asahi is wondering the same thing as she stares on. Urara tells her a truck just drove through. She thought it was on fire when it suddenly exploded. Asahi can only guess this means they didn't make it in time to stop the witch. She tries to explain to Urara that there were 2 witches, but Himuro-dono and Sasha-dono went off to defeat the 2nd one, except it got away from them. Urara asks if this explosion was from the witch then. Asahi can't say for sure, but there is one thing she can say... She knows these witches were the two girls who saved Urara...

Urara asks if this means they've been in Yukuni this entire time. Asahi thought they had been defeated or escaped by now, but... Kuroda yells out is this really happening!? Haitani is on the ground with metal piercing through her chest. Asahi shakily tells him she can use her magic to try to get it out, but Kuroda tells her it's too late. Haitani is already gone. He yells at Asahi, asking her why she killed Haitani. She tells him she was trying to kill the witch! Kuroda repeats what she had told him: mahou shoujo are witches. And on top of that, she's sitting here worrying if her "pals" managed to escape or not. He tells her that she's the one who caused the avalanche, and she's the one who killed everyone at the festival. It's all their fault!

Asahi tries to get him to calm down and talk this out, but he yells at her to shut up. he declares that he'll hold onto this grudge against them for the rest of his life, for taking both her mother and Haitani away from him. He'll kill all of them...

That night, Rabi can only apologize for making Asahi suffer through her failure. Asahi is equally ashamed of herself for letting all those lives disappear. Asahi understands the witch just became too strong for them, but being misunderstood by a friend is incredibly hard for her. Urara thinks the only thing they can do now is slowly work to clear up this misunderstanding. She's just glad there weren't people nearby to overhear what was said.
Asahi, however, feels different...

Asahi: "I have this horrible feeling, as if zeroed in on by something of unknown nature..."

====Boss 5====

Asahi: "It feels as if I was shot at the most opportune time..."

==Part 2==

===Chapter 6: Stigma===

====6-1====

Asahi: "っ...I'm having bad dreams..."

Asahi wakes up from a nightmare of what she witnessed a week ago. Her family is equally somber. She tells her mother that she doesn't have much of an appetite, so she only wants something small. She explains to the audience it's been a week and people have been coming to lay flowers for all the victims today. Her grandmother tells her that many people were devastated by the disaster, not just from their village. She tells Asahi that she should face the future as her survival has meaning, or else she will beat herself up.

Asahi is struggling to accept the death of Haitani and Kuroda's anger towards her, but on top of that the video of her talking with Urara is all over the internet now. Over the past week a URL to that video has been sent to students all over Yukuni, furthering Kuroda's misunderstanding against her. She thinks back to her cheering for Kuroda, and Haitani telling her that she wants to go out with Miura.

At school, students are pointing out Asahi, asking her if she was trying to cause the accident. One girl in her class tells her not to worry so much about it, cause it was all just cosplay, right? Other people wore things like she did. Kuroda interrupts her, telling her not to stand up for that girl. Miura herself said that mahou shoujo are witches, so they just prance about doing anything they want with their powers that even the police don't have. The girl defends Asahi, saying that was all just an urban legend, wasn't it!? Kuroda tells her she's full of it. Tons of people have already seen what happened, and Miura isn't talking because she's hiding her guilt. He demands Miura to say something to all the students here.

Asahi struggles to say she didn't do anything. All she was trying to do was prevent damage. Kuroda says that Miura will become a witch who kills people, so mahou shoujo even existing is bad. She could only be pretending to be good so that she can kill people, like Haitani, for example. Asahi has to run out of the class.

Asahi knows she isn't to blame for the festival, but what about from here on? If she doesn't die, she too will become a witch. No matter how much she does to protect others, eventually she will spread her curse. She thinks to herself that she really isn't innocent when she knows such a future lies ahead of her.

====6-2====

Urara and Kurara start up this week's Urara and Kurara's Night Fun Homeroom!! They're once again live from their usual studio, but before they begin, Urara has an apology to give. Urara announces that while she's been talking about mahou shoujo for quite some time on this show, the truth is they really are just an urban legend, and they don't know if they actually exist or not. Kurara tells her she really should stop confusing people. She kept repeating that there's no way they would exist, and never imagined it would grow into such a complicated matter.

Urara tells Kurara that because the response to mahou shoujo was so big, she was thinking about running a play for the festival. Kurara asks was that what the special guests were for? Urara tells her she wanted to raise excitement by inviting guests who specialized in stage sword fighting was all. What she's trying to say is that due to all the fuss she had made about mahou shoujo, she's been causing problems for the people featured in their videos online, so she requests everyone just forget about the whole mahou shoujo urban legend together with them. Kurara mentions that she's a victim because of this nonsense too, so no more talking to her about it either. It's just as stupid as believing in ghosts.

Sasha was showing this (yesterday's video) to Asahi and Rabi. Urara was one of the people who saw them as good, but it's better now that she pretends they were nothing but a dream. Sasha hopes she hasn't been getting harassed as school. Asahi mentions she's been getting stared at a lot due to being featured on the video, and asks how Himuro-dono and Sasha-dono are handling school. Everyone she sees in the group chat seem to be in similar situations as her. Sasha and Rabi both say they're being singled out as well.

Sasha mentions that students have figured out that mahou shoujo can be spotted by their ring, so word is spreading about how to find them. She says they were the ones who started this whole "let the world know we exist" thing, and now the negatives to doing so are beginning to show. Rabi says this is more the results of what a bad first impression can do. Asahi tells them it might be better to remove their rings. Rabi tells her once they're spotted once it'll be too late.

Just then a boy spots Asahi, recognizing her from the video. He sees the ring and knows for sure it's her. He tells Asahi that his buddy was hospitalized because of that event. He tells her he doesn't care of she's a girl, he's going to make her feel the same pain. Asahi tries to tell him it wasn't something she could do, but 不可抗力 (unavoidable happening/an act of god), but he doesn't want to hear any excuses. An older boy tells him to back off if he doesn't think he's gonna win, as it's embarrassing to be hitting a girl. The first boy tells him he knows.

Alexandra: "A mahou shoujo who kills everyone indiscriminately... They really believe that..."

====6-3====

Rabi: "We can't lay a hand on them and must run away... But how do we deal with such a persistent foe..."

The boy of course can't land a single hit in on Asahi. Asahi tells him she's too strong for him, so don't even bother trying to wear her down. The boy tries taunting her into making an attack then if she's so confident. Rabi and Sasha are standing by, saying they would never hurt people as it's a mahou shoujo's role to help. Rabi telepathically starts saying that if this keeps up they may need to rely on Kurisu's magic to calm them down.

The older boy decides to call a couple more friends over to help out if this girl's just going to be boring defending herself. Asahi offers to punch them if it means putting a stop to this, but Rabi says that would only spread more bad publicity for them, so she asks Sasha to go ahead. Just as Sasha is about to begin, someone shows up and tells the boys to stop.

Shirogane is here, saying she'll call the police if they keep this up. The older boy asks if she's going to butt into this. She tells him that his friends aren't coming to help, as they've been held back by her friends. The older boy tells the younger to get going as this is turning boring, and he doesn't want police showing up since they'll be the ones in trouble.

Rabi thanks Shirogane and asks how she knew where they were. She tells Rabi that she overheard some punks making a fuss over them, so she got nervous and followed. Asahi gives her gratitude for Shirogane having a rougher side to her. Sasha is as well, as she was moments from being forced to use magic. Shirogane understands that they can't lash out or else mahou shoujo will be seen as the bad guys, which is why she knew there was trouble brewing.

Rabi brings up something Shirogane just mentioned: she said she had buddies? Shirogane tells her she does for just this sort of occasion. She made an organization dedicated to protecting mahou shoujo. She says that while Urara's show did create a lot of enemies, it also created allies. Some of which who have been saved by mahou shoujo in the past. Rabi asks how did she suddenly find the motivation to do all this. Shirogane says to protect her Himuro-senpai. Since living alongside humanity is such a drag for her, she wants to stay connected to the world through Himuro-senpai. That's why this time she wanted to help her through her suffering, but she's found that through this reason she isn't as bothered by others, strangely enough. Rabi is glad Shirogane found a new purpose in life, but is worried and sorry that it's only for her own sake. Shirogane says this is her way of repaying her senpai for saving her empty self from suffering.

Shirogane then asks Asahi is she happens to know someone by the name of Kuroda. Asahi does of course. Shirogane tells her that he's the reason she made this organization to protect mahou shoujo, because Kuroda made one to gather people who will exterminate them.

====6-4====

Rabi is thinking about how Shirogane told her she saved her, but in reality she saved herself by choosing to come see her. The fact Shirogane is now doing this for her leaves her wanting to repay her somehow, but her inexperience with other people makes it difficult.

She arrives home, being greeted by her mother. Her mother asks if she's heading up to her father's room again. Rabi tells her she is, as she has some things on her mind. Her mother tells her that'll have to wait a bit, as they have a guest who's going to be staying a while, and all the other rooms are full. Rabi can't believe she would do such a thing. How could she let someone take her father's room, the only place where she can feel her father there with her.

Rabi quickly opens the door, only to find Tasuke there. Tasuke guesses she's the daughter of the Earth's Cradle. He introduces himself as Satomi Tasuke and apologizes for having to use a family room. Rabi can only stare, so Tasuke says uh hello? Rabi bursts out an apology of her own, excusing herself for busting in. Tasuke tells her to wait, and then tells her to not be hard on herself.

Flashback of Rabi staring at Tasuke at the festival. Ever since she saw Tasuke, she's been thinking about him. She runs up to her mother, beginning to tell her about that guy, when she interrupts her by finishing for her saying "Go and look at him.... He looks just like 'Father,'right..." Her mother continues that that wasn't the reason she let him take her father's room, and didn't even see the resemblance until he went up to it. She calls it strange, but Rabi says it's bad for her heart. Her mother tells her to try to bear with it. Rabi says she'll try to ignore it.

Rabi: "I don't like this... I'm uncomfortable..."

====6-5====

Rabi: "Why would you rent Father's room out in the first place...? I honestly can't believe you...!"

At school, Rabi has noticed that both sharp glares and curious looks have both slowly died down around her. Shirogane thanks her senpai for today's work, and Rabi thanks her in kind. She tells Shirogane that she owes her a great debt, but can't even begin to pay her back until things cool down. Shirogane tells her they can't really be seen talking to each other like this anymore. Rabi agrees that distance is important or else no one will be able to defend her. Shirogane tells her she wants to return the favor, so Himuro-senpai doesn't need to do anything as thanks. Rabi insists that she's bothered Shirogane so much, so Shirogane says she will look forward to being paid back then.

Rabi then gets a message from the group chat, with a girl begging for help. People from her school started chasing after her, calling her a mahou shoujo. They're going after her because of her ring. Shirogane suggests the police be called, and that she can have her organization help out if they're near. Another message goes out. Kurisu sensed a witch nearby, so she's on the way to intercept.

The girl being chased by Kuroda, who knows her by her ring. She asks why are they chasing her. A girl asks why she's acting like a victim when she's a witch who's killing people day by day, and yells out if she's the one who killed her sister. The mahou shoujo says she's not a witch, and didn't do it.

On the rooftops nearby, Alexandra is talking to herself about how she spread the word about mahou shoujo because she wanted to be saved, yet here she is being resented by them. She thinks to herself how this is as much her fault as it was Miura-san's, since her and Himuro-san let that witch get away which caused this whole mess. She knows they have to do something to clear this misunderstanding.

====6-6====

Sasha has pinpointed where the reaction was coming from. Kuroda is seen telling the girl that if any mahou shoujo want to get out of Yukuni, they won't stop them. But if they stay, they'll be hunted mercilessly until they do. If they don't do this, the rest of the city will experience the sorrow they have. The blame game continues for a bit, until one girl asks the mahou shoujo why doesn't she just kill them then, but the girl of course would never do such a thing.

Sasha gets closer to the scene, but is glad to hear police sirens approaching. The mahou shoujo says she refuses to leave as Yukuni is where she was born and raised. Kuroda and the other boy decide to get their hands dirty in that case, but the mahou shoujo knows they can't beat her in a fight. The girl with them says she'll record everything and send it to all her friends if she fights back. The mahou shoujo then tries to grab the camera from the girl.

Sasha arrives at the scene just as the police do, with the mahou shoujo grabbing one of the boys by the shoulders who is wincing in pain. The officer notices that the boy's shoulder is broken, and Kuroda speaks up and says this girl lured them here and attacked them. He insists the girl be searched, as she probably has something on her. The girl tries to tell him that she was the one being chased. The officer doesn't care either way, and just wants them to calm down so he can talk to them all. The girl panics, wondering why she's being blamed. The officer puts blame on her since the boy is going to have to go to the hospital.

Sasha transforms, not wanting to watch this escalate. She gets ready to use her magic on them and then get the girl out of there, but she notices Kuroda is staring right at her. Asahi messages her, telling her not to move, as Kuroda contacted her. Sasha will just become an accomplice in this situation if she gets involved.

The mahou shoujo's soul gem darkens, wondering how this could be happening to her. She's the one keeping them safe, but why is she being attacked by them? The officer asks what she's going on about as the girl begins witching out before their eyes. Flashbacks to Asahi and Urara witnessing the explosion and Kuroda vowing to everything he can to keep the peace in Yukuni.

Alexandra: "Again I'm too frightened to do anything... I can't even give an apology..."

====6-7====

Asahi: "Though it pains my heart, Sasha-dono is not the sole bearer of the responsibility."

Alexandra is apologizing profusely to Asahi for letting yet another mahou shoujo witch out in front of her. Asahi uses the grief seed on her, telling her that if she interfered the three of them would have been arrested and even more targeted by the public. Rabi wants to know why Kuroda contacted Asahi. Asahi guesses it was his way of showing how serious he is about getting people together to eliminate mahou shoujo.

In his text to her, Kuroda stated that he's gathered up victims of the festival and the avalanches to drive them out of Yukuni. They've already found one telltale sign of girls being mahou shoujo from other members, so it's only a matter of time. When Asahi saw this message, she noticed a second one as well, with Kuroda telling her that he'll have the other girl she was with arrested if she interferes. Since they're all well known at this point, Miura should get her and the rest out of the city ASAP.

Rabi thinks he gave her time to make a decision because he really doesn't want to hurt her. Asahi agrees that may be the case, but they each have homes and families to support, so they can't just leave. We get a flashback of the cop being shocked to see the girl he was just talking to is dead. Kuroda explains to him that when a mahou shoujo becomes a witch, they turn invisible. She's probably left the city already, leaving just her body behind. He and another girl say it's better to hunt them down before they do become witches. If they fall for their nice girl acts, more victims will show up. The officer unfortunately is just dumbfounded and wants to find out what just happened. Sasha knows they need to do something before they too turn to witches.

Back on the rooftop, the trio hear someone yelling out that they found them, and yell out to chase after them. Sasha jumps, only to let out a sigh of relief as it was someone else being chased. The trio are blaming themselves, and Rabi notes that regardless of who's fault it was, the gears of lunacy are fastening on them.

===Chapter 7: Aggregate===

====7-1====

Asahi stares at her phone, realizing that one by one the mahou shoujo are vanishing. The student group dedicated to hunting them down celebrate when they see empty bodies, declaring that "they became witches and ran away from the city". When Asahi hears about a girl becoming a witch, she deletes that girl from the group chat. Before long, half of them had been wiped out, leaving a wringing pain in her heart. At home, Asahi is regretting ever telling Kuroda about mahou shoujo, as that led to all of this happening.

On their school rooftop, Shirogane is telling Rabi that the exterminators group vastly outnumbers the protectors group at this point. Plus they're dead set on believing that witching out means the girls leave the city. They call the slaughtering a justified act of condemning them. Rabi tells her that some girls don't even know what becoming a witch even means, and that they fight witches only for good. It's cruelty. Shirogane asks why don't they just use force against them, but Rabi says they can't. Shirogane says that would end this quickly, but Rabi says it would just be recorded and shown all over. They'd become the enemy of mankind if they show any resistance or attempt to control them, so Rabi refuses to use force. Rabi's plan right now is to mend the pain caused by the avalanches and the explosion at the festival.

Rabi arrives home. Tasuke is the only one there, explaining that the miss is out shopping. Rabi hates that she keeps encountering this guy, leaving Tasuke wondering if he's done something wrong. Rabi, frustrated, tells him it's nothing and apologizes, but Tasuke stops her to ask a question. He wonders when did the students of Yukuni begin talking about mahou shoujo. Rabi is surprised to hear this, as this is the first time an adult has spoken about them. Tasuke says most adults just write it off as an urban legend and refuse to listen to him. Rabi tries to tell him to just leave it at that, as it's more trouble than it's worth. As she leaves, Tasuke says out loud that if she doesn't have anyone to rely on, she's going to find herself overwhelmed.

Elsewhere, Asahi has summoned the spirit of Haitani using her magic. She apologizes for having done this. Haitani is also sorry for relying so much on Asahi when she's been suffering so much. Asahi claims full responsibility on saving Kuroda, as all his anger and sadness were caused by her. Haitani tells her she's wrong; it's her fault. She saved Kuroda from killing himself after the avalanche, and as a result she's the one who died. Asahi smiles and calls it not a forcing of responsibility onto one another, but accepting each other's problems. Haitani accepts that to stop this blaming going in circles. Haitani tells her that at least she can't do any more now that she's dead, so she leaves it up to Miura now. Asahi tells her she will handle it with utmost care, and Haitani's spirit disappears. Asahi doesn't like summoning the dead as it's a desecration of life, but even so, she just couldn't help herself. She only hopes Haitani will forgive her. Just then Himuro-dono calls her.

Rabi: "All of this began from my selfishness... I should be the sole bearer of this burden..."

====7-2====

On the phone, Rabi has decided that she will be the one who bears are responsibility for the extermination group's anger and sadness. She's had enough of watching other mahou shoujo disappear because of her pointless little wish to get some sympathy. Sasha tries to talk her out of putting all the blame on herself, saying she was also a cause to all of this. Asahi also wants to bear the responsibility. Rabi thanks them for sticking with her. Sasha adds that with all the girls being hunted, Yukuni's safety has gone downhill. Despite what the extermination group says, witches don't run away from the city. Asahi says that if only they become the city's targets, no more girls will become witches. Sasha and Asahi are on the same page. Rabi thanks them again, and tells them that they'll be using Night Fun Homeroom tonight, as she has already spoken to Urara about it.

Urara: "I want to do what I can, but Kurara's gonna get mad at me for sure..."

====7-3====

U and Ku rara start their weekly broadcast, BUT they have a surprise special guest for tonight's episode! Kurara is disappointed they're talking about this whole mahou shoujo business again, but since this is to alleviate the problems they caused, they brought on the infamous girls being talked about across Yukuni's student base. Urara says that's why she OK'd them coming on, so here's the three guests! Rabi looks as blank as ever, Asahi has a serious look, and Sasha looks nervous.

Kurara asks what this talk is about since there wasn't time to get a script. Urara actually has no idea either, since she just got a text from Himuro Rabi on short notice. She has nooo clue herself, but she's been getting lots of mail from fans about mahou shoujo sightings along with rumors, so she's sure the audience is dying to tune in. Kurara brings up the rumors of mahou shoujo killing people, so Urara asks if that's what they came here tonight to talk about.

Rabi begins by saying she wants to talk about the festival and the mahou shoujo involved, and asks that they listen to her until she's done. Urara understands and leaves the air to Rabi. Rabi takes a deep breath and speaks out.

She starts by stating that many students must already be aware of mahou shoujo, their curse, and the witches that they fight, and that they too become witches. She knows many of them must think that mahou shoujo themselves are witches, but that's far from the truth. Becoming a witch is like dying to them; it's not a choice they make, and many of them aren't even aware of their horrible fate themselves. In truth, they only recently learned the truth about becoming witches. Rabi asks that those listening stop their merciless hunting, as they fight to protect the victims of witches. If a girl's heart darkens, she will only become another witch that torments Yukuni. The idea that mahou shoujo run away from the city when they become witches is just superstition, not getting revenge.

She continues to address her unseen audience, saying they must wonder how mahou shoujo stop all these incidents and accidents that affect them. Unfortunately, however, due to the limited number of mahou shoujo existing, not every incident or accident can be prevented. Disasters like avalanches and earthquakes aren't something they can prevent damage from, and if they find a witch to be the cause of it, they too can be killed if they're not strong enough to handle it. But even so, she has no intention of claiming them all as things that can't be helped.

Rabi says that the suffering they've all experienced is because of their negligence, the three of them. All other mahou shoujo have done everything they could to stop the disaster, but the three of them stood by and did nothing. The festival accident was something they could have prevented, but did nothing to do so. She asks that everyone leave all other mahou shoujo alone and place their blame only on the three of them, as they will pay for the sins they've committed.

Rabi: "I've said my peace... Now to accept it and endure it..."

====7-4====

Asahi: "I am prepared to be whipped."

After the show, Rabi is thanking Urara for helping her on such short notice. Urara is just glad to be able to help at all. Asahi apologizes to Kurara as well for the trouble, with Sasha commenting that it must've been a lot to take in so quickly. Kurara used to think this was all just an urban legend too, but believed them after seeing them at the festival. She adds that she can't take responsibility for whatever happens after this show, though. Urara is surprised to hear them talk out like they did. She thought for sure if they defended themselves they'd get more sympathy, but now they're just drawing all the anger onto themselves to save the rest of the mahou shoujo. Rabi agrees, but if they went the sympathy route, the extermination group would just cause more damage than any protection would prevent. Rabi's objective now is to let the hunters take out everything on them and them alone.

Kuroda's group show up after hearing the broadcast, realizing the only way they can get revenge is by going after these three. Sasha tells Urara and Kurara to get back into their studio. The students gather around, ready to beat them. Just as Rabi expected, the fire started immediately. The three of them prepare to face their punishment.

Tasuke is at the inn, listening to the very same broadcast from earlier. He says out loud that this isn't the way...Rabi-chan... This may save other mahou shoujo, but all this means is she lost sight of her original goal. By admitting all these incidents are her fault, the people will think mahou shoujo are a danger to them and avoid them. Those who need salvation the most will never be saved. Ever since Tasuke began researching mahou shoujo, Yukuni is the first city he's seen where their existence is recognized by normal people. He sees this as a stepping stone, speaking out loud for Nayuta to wait for him...

Rabi: "If we can concentrate all of the extermination group's emotions, we should be able to reduce the harm..."

--------------

===Chapter 8: Hate===

====8-1====

Asahi: "A grudge unsatiated by justice is incredibly painful..."

Asahi explains that mahou shoujo are being hunted one by one, turning into witches because of those who have suffered from witches, creating a negative spiral. Kuroda and his group tried going after families of these girls, but ultimately decided to go against those of them who bear the burden of responsibility. The trio chose to become the sole targets of the city's emotions so that the other mahou shoujo could live in relative peace as they work to protect the city that hates them. However, Asahi never expected so much cruelty...

In the forest, Asahi is being beaten by Kuroda, who is surprised just how fast mahou shoujo heal. He now knows that as long as the soul gem is intact, they remain alive. He tells Asahi to get out of town now that she's been beaten. Even just them three taking off will bring enough peace to Yukuni. His buddies tell her that they're only going to continue blaming them for incidents, so they should just go away now. One of them says they're not gonna leave since they're protecting the other girls. Kuroda says in that case, we should make out of them. If the 3 protectors are broken, the other girls will think they're next to be attacked and want to leave. Another boy offers to blow some steam since he wants payback for when Asahi made fun of her. Kuroda tells him not to bring personal problems into this, as it's strictly for the city's peace.

Kuroda gives Miura one final chance to make a decision: be made an example, or take the easy way out and leave. Asahi knows that just means other girls will be targeted. She tries telling Kuroda again that they don't kill people. Kuroda tells her that even if that's true, they still have to force them out any time they become emotionally unstable. Asahi imagines her family smiling at her, and tells him that she's not leaving, so they'll just have to take out their anger and sadness on her.

Kuroda turns to a boy who lost a friend in the hospital and tells him to go ahead and beat Miura if it makes him feel better, since she seems all for it. He screams at her to taste the pain of the dead, you bastard!! and hits her. Kuroda asks her how she could have avoided this whole thing. She tells him by not spreading word about mahou shoujo. He says that's right, if we stayed ignorant we would have just blamed our own misfortune. The other boy tells her to not ignore him, and hits her again.

As she continues to be beaten, she thinks to herself that this is right, she's paying for her sins and has to accept the punishment. As long as she holds out, the other mahou shoujo will be safe. As long as the other girls see her as an example, they'll have to move away but at least remain alive. And eventually Kuroda and everyone else will realize how empty they are outside of their violent ways and calm down. But if they don't, she can move away from humanity and go live a secret life in the mountains somewhere. Another boy hits her, and she begins losing consciousness. She dulls her senses so she doesn't feel any more pain. As she does so, she realizes that being able to just turn off your pain really makes her inhuman...

====8-2====

Alexandra: "I'm quite fine with this. Compared to the other two, this is a piece of cake."

At her music class, two girls are telling Sasha to hurry up and wipe the piano down and get the music sheets organized. Sasha tells herself to not cry, it'll be okay if this is all they want. Compared to the beatings Asahi-chan is enduring and the bullying Rabi-chan is suffering through, this is nothing. She thinks to herself that she doesn't deserve help, as she's the one who broke everyone's hearts.

A girl (a couple of her friends it looks like) runs back into the class, forgetting her music sheets she needs for practice at home. She turns back when she sees Sasha is still inside cleaning. Her friend tells her they can come back later. Flashback of the same two girls earlier, asking Sasha what's wrong. She talks to herself, saying that she can't expect her friends to worry about her because she's a mahou shoujo. If she asks for help, everyone around her will be dragged down with her. One girl asks her what she's mumbling about. She puts on a fake smile and laugh, saying she's just thinking about how to do this more efficiently. The other girl tells her not to laugh when she kills people. One girl reminds Sasha that if she tries telling their teacher about any of this, they'll let everyone know about her trying to date him. Sasha gets mad and asks her to not even think about doing that. The girl tells her she wasn't serious about the threat, but wants her to be careful.

Sasha thinks back to when her teacher told her she should seek someone to talk to, even if its another faculty member. She's sorry that she can't go talk to him about this. One girl tells her that starting tomorrow, she has a long mission for Sasha: to go get a gold in the upcoming solo competition so the music club has more prestige. Sasha knows that won't be easy, but is told that because she was chosen to be the soloist at the festival, she ought to live up to everyone's expectations and win. To her, singing now feels like a curse. All the moments she used to sing freely and feel her voice melt into the air soothed her, but now it feels like she has a huge weight on her vocal chords and can't make any beautiful singing come out anymore.

====8-3====

Rabi: "Your malicious pranks ring hollow. So long as I find them lacking maliciousness, they won't affect my heart."

Rabi reads words left to her on her shoe box. "Die, disappear, murderer. The adults may forgive you, but I won't. I don't give a damn what the law says, I'll get justice when I slaughter you." She figures this is from someone in the extermination group. She really doesn't care, but having graffiti plaster her shoe box and finding food stuffed into her shoes was a surprise.

Rabi monologues how her family isn't rich. Her father passed away when she was young, leaving her mother to work hard to keep their inn up and running. This is the most painful thing she's ever had to experience, not because of things she bought being ruined by others, but because of things her mother bought her being ruined, and imaging the hurt look on her face. Rabi begins tearing up, telling herself that her soul gem is darkening, so she needs to shut down her emotions.

A couple students see this, a girl thinking that bullying being like that these days, that's bad, isn't it? A boy explains to her that that girl was on Night Fun Homeroom, saying she was the one responsible for the incident at the festival, so everyone's out to get her. The girl can't believe that, feeling sorry for Rabi. The boy frowns, telling her she can't get involved, or else she'll be targeted too... Rabi overhears this, silently agreeing that no one should get involved. She's nothing more than a punching bag for people's anger and sorrow, and she's fine with it.

Shirogane quickly passes by Rabi without word. She gets a text from her, apologizing for being so cold to her, but helping will be harder if she were seen talking to her. Rabi texts back to not worry. She figures Shirogane is being watched since she was someone who defended them, and shouldn't bother getting involved. Shirogane texts back that her group is dwindling, and the number of students joining team kill 'em all is going way up. Rabi says that unfortunately the three of them confessing to take all the blame hasn't been working out as well as she had expected. Shirogane tells her that even if they're backing down for now, they're not about to drop their goal of removing all mahou shoujo from the city. Rabi tells her that even if all mahou shoujo leave, witches will keep showing up, so they'll just find a new target of their hate. Shirogane agrees, which is why she's worried about her Himuro-senpai. Rabi tells her she's okay; she can handle this treatment. But she's hurt when her family and friends get dragged into this. She doesn't mind horrid things being written about her on her desk and the blackboard, but having to erase them herself is wearing her out, like erasing them feels like she's admitting it's all true. She just has to put up with it until she can find a solution.

Shirogane gets hit by another girl, telling her to quit talking to Himuro, or else next time she's gonna be sorry. Rabi knows that times like this are what cuts deep into her heart the most. She uses a grief seed, telling herself to just endure it a little longer...

====8-4====

Rabi can't believe how intense the hatred of everyone is when focused directly on the three of them. On the phone, Sasha and Asahi find out about each other, how Sasha is being blackmailed and how Asahi's body is being covered in wounds daily. Asahi doesn't feel any better than Sasha, since she's being forced to do things while she just has to put up with pain. Rabi knows that while the body's wounds will heal, the heart's won't. Asahi is fine with it so long as the people feel better after. It's just a waiting game. Sasha knows this isn't going to be short, though.

Asahi knows that Kuroda is kind, though. If she can keep talking to him, she may be able to get through to him and have him reflect on his actions and thinking. Sasha asks if she would forgive him for what he's done, but Asahi replies that she's the one who broke him. Rabi apologizes to both of them, saying this was all her idea in the first place, and is ruining their friendship by making them go along with this. Sasha and Asahi disagree; they went along with it without regarding the consequences, and sympathize with Rabi, so the three of them have been in this together from the start.

Rabi smiles and thanks them. Sasha smiles and says all three of them just have to endure tomorrow. Asahi is prepared to be hurt each and every day. Rabi tells them she won't cower in fear and endure alongside them. She tells them she'll see them tomorrow, and hangs up, now crying. Even though she's trying to be strong, she can't stop her tears. She would rather break her own soul gem to appease the extermination group, but then Asahi and Sasha would...

She bumps right into Tasuke, who asks her what is she doing. He tells her to get a grief seed and clear her gem before it's too late. She didn't realize how bad it got, but takes care of it. Tasuke is glad she took care of it in time. He noticed she's been gloomy for some time now and was getting worried. Rabi asks him how he learned about mahou shoujo. He reveals that his daughter is a mahou shoujo who's fighting, just like her. He's renting the room at the inn for a while to write his book about mahou shoujo. Rabi's never heard of an adult who knows all this. He tells her he doesn't just know of them, he's researching them for his daughter's sake: how to avoid becoming a witch and how to spread awareness of it. he found out about the rumors going around because of Night Fun Homeroom and watched the episode Rabi was on and heard everything. He knows that word doesn't spread about mahou shoujo unless done intentionally, so he's working to spread that knowledge himself.

Rabi thanks Tasuke for the help and concern, but urges him to stay away. He refuses, insisting he help. He can't just let this all pass since his daughter is out there fighting too. Rabi starts getting upset, telling him that all her companions have been dragged down with her into misfortune because of her awful decisions, so... Tasuke says so rely on me as a third party. The resentment against all mahou shoujo kind is too much for one person to bear alone. Rabi turns silent. After a few moments, she tells Tasuke that together she wants to save Asahi. Even with the situation she's in right now, Asahi's the one in the most danger right now...

Rabi: "As much as I want to rely on such a person, I..."

====8-5====

Rabi: "This man who resembles my father... Is he perhaps the first adult to understand us?"

Rabi and Tasuke trudge through the forest at night, following a winding trail towards Asahi's reaction. Tasuke thinks out loud how awful it is that she's being hurt somewhere she can't even be found. He trips, thanking Rabi-chan for catching him. She tells him to turn off the light, as she can see just fine with only the moonlight. He complains that his old man eyes aren't as good.

A gunshot rings out. Asahi is screaming out in pain as a boy is maniacally laughing. Another boy is impressed at how such an old hunting rifle can work when properly maintained. The boy with the gun asks her if she's ready to leave the city yet. Asahi tells him unfortunately she's not. One boy tells him to hit her in the leg next time. Kuroda tells them to cut it out or people will find them. A boy tells him he can stop the nice guy act just because she's a classmate. Kuroda tells him he doesn't want her getting used to the pain. Asahi calls him out, saying he's already committed a crime as it is. Kuroda tells her she's probably killed tons of people even before the avalanches and the festival, so he's surprised to hear things like that coming from her. Asahi wonders if he's really lost his mind. He yells yeah, all thanks to you! and strikes.

Tasuke takes the hit, (a knife?) stabbing into his shoulder and starts bleeding. Asahi worries for him, but he says it's no big deal, he can just go to the hospital later. Rabi tells him he's being reckless. Kuroda remembers this man up on the festival stage. Tasuke tells him he's misunderstanding what mahou shoujo are. He explains that just like what Rabi said online, they don't become witches because they want to, they're kids who have hopes and problems just like him, who don't have anyone to help them with their suffering, and that Kyubey makes them contract without revealing the details of what that entails. Kuroda asks what he's trying to say here, so he explains that no mahou shoujo is created with curses, many aren't even aware of their fate of becoming witches. Kuroda asks him if he expects him to just accept all that. Tasuke tells him that while it may be hard to accept, he wants him to know this is all a misunderstanding, and that they can begin to understand what mahou shoujo are really like.

Tasuke continues preaching to Kuroda, telling him that mahou shoujo risk their lives fighting witches, suffer from grief, and then find out they become witches in the end. Now they even have to deal with their friends going against them. Etc etc, this all comes around to him asking Kuroda to let these girls go.

One boy doesn't give a damn, and asks Kuroda what are they gonna do now that they've been spotted. If they run deep into the woods, dogs shouldn't be able to find them. Sasha shows up, using her magic to weaken the boys, telling them if they're going to harm Asahi, they're going down. Kuroda tells them changing their minds is a different story, but for today they're done.

====8-6====

Alexandra: "It seems I was right for worrying and following her magic."

Back in civilization, Rabi is telling Tasuke she felt her heart stop watching him jump in the way, telling him what would have happened if he had been stabbed in a vital point. Sasha tells him he's lucky he only needed a few stitches. Asahi tells them this is like the third time this has been brought up now... Sasha says it's because Rabi-chan keeps bringing it up. Rabi tells Tasuke she appreciates him being worried about them, but he shouldn't throw his life away for their sake. Tasuke understands and apologizes. Rabi continues, telling him his daughter would suffer more if she lost him.

Sasha apologizes if she sounds rude, but has to ask Tasuke why is he so worked up over the happenings in Yukuni. Asahi wonders as well, knowing that just learning about mahou shoujo won't solving the witching problem. Tasuke agrees; it won't solve that. He's working here in hopes of reducing the number of mahou shoujo. If more people were aware of their fate and the price of their wishes being, there would be fewer contracts and people would realize they are part of the cycle of suffering. In other words, more people would become kind, and in turn mahou shoujo would be more tolerated.

Rabi tells him that they don't exist unless people know they exist. Her desire for sympathy and the professor's idea may be similar. He agrees. If more people sympathize with mahou shoujo, more solutions may be worked out and allies to them will show themselves. Plus if a solution to witching out is found, there would be more people working towards it, so mahou shoujo being recognized is important. Rabi asks Tasuke why he didn't look past her situation.

Tasuke explains to her that he's traveled all around the world, but this is the first time he's seen an attempt at publicizing mahou shoujo, right here in Yukuni City. And Rabi-chan is the centerpiece to how this all started, so he didn't want her to fail. He also brings up that in thousands upon thousands of years, no proof of their existence has ever been brought up. Sasha asks if that means that's just how unsuccessful any attempts to publicize them have been. Tasuke says he's not sure if it means they've always failed, or if it means they succeeded but evidence was lost, but...

He goes on a speech, saying he's traveled the world, doing research on people who were likely mahou shoujo to find the answer to that question. The important bits, mentions of witches and the fate of mahou shoujo, always disappear into myths and legends. In some historical documents, mentions of slaughtering witches, and thus mahou shoujo, are mentioned, but the actual name "mahou shoujo" (/ magical girl) is always missing. So no matter where he looks, it seems like in the end any attempt to bring awareness of mahou shoujo is distorted, as if by some wondrous interference of the gods.

Sasha is shocked at the idea. Tasuke tells them that mahou shoujo and witches already acting in unnatural secrecy, something he's sure they're aware of. Asahi finds it useless to even attempt anything if they're being controlled by an outside will. Rabi understands that the professor is doing what he can to keep hope and fight against the feeling of resignation. Tasuke tells her she's right, and that this is a once in a lifetime chance to rewrite the history of mahou shoujo, so he wants to help them, for everyone's happiness.

The trio decide to give existing one more try, and to attempt their original plan once more. However, they'll have to get past a giant wall: restore trust in mahou shoujo and get everyone to accept the truth that they become witches.

Urara: "All the hate those three are getting throw at 'em... It's starting to come my way too..."

===Chapter 9: Original Hope===

====9-1====

Rabi is telling the group chat that they have begun trying to explain mahou shoujo to the world again with Professor Satomi's help. The three of them taking on all the ire of Yukuni hasn't helped, resulting in only six mahou shoujo remaining. With Satomi helping explain things, the doubt set upon them may clear up.

Asahi's mother tells her not to stare at her phone while eating. Her father finds it weird that she's entranced by a cell phone. Asahi plays it off that it's just something she had to take care of, nothing serious. The other three remaining girls are also ones who tried spreading word of their existence, but she's left wondering what this folklorist Tasuke Satomi is planning.

News on their TV begins explaining that ever since the incident at the event, more and more incidents and troubles have been reported, but so far the police have not found any relation to the event. Due to most victims being teenagers, schools have enacted rules for students to travel to and from school in groups, and urging them to stay home during the night.

Asahi later meets Kuroda at their school's gym. Kuroda asks her if she's finally decided to kill him. Asahi tells him she has no intentions of ever harming him, so he asks what this meeting is about. She brings up that what Tasuke and Rabi both said before was all true, and I will refrain from recapping it all. Kuroda fires back with his own quote from the professor, saying that now that they've become witches, there's no going back. He refuses to accept anything that a mahou shoujo will tell him. As he walks away, he tells Miura that the hunting rifle was going too far.

Asahi: "It was only a little, but Kuroda's emotions have wavered..."

====9-2====

Alexandra: "It's to help us, but just what is the professor planning on doing?"

Tasuke arranges a meeting with the head of the board of education in Yukuni (the very same one who invited him to speak in the first place), planning on using his speech before as a way to bring up mahou shoujo. The head is aware of the rumors amongst the students, so Tasuke casually brings up that his research is actually about mahou shoujo. He laughs, thinking this is a joke of his. Tasuke is hurt to be laughed at, but brings up that arts passed down at the Yukuni hot springs inns, along with fairy tales and legends, are all part of folklore. The head understands where he's getting at, as fantasies are not something they abandon either. Tasuke tells him since legends and customs are said to be what shows the true face of their land, the same goes for mahou shoujo. But what makes mahou shoujo so interesting is that they're a worldwide phenomenon. So he would like to request to give a lecture about mahou shoujo. Just like how Touno City is famous for it's folklore, he believes Yukuni City can become famous for it as well.

The head of education is quite interested as it's not something he's familiar with, but without any material, a lecture isn't possible. Tasuke says he'll provide his own, so the head agrees, though he wonders what made him go to such a small place as Yukuni for its rumors. Tasuke tells him if the bullying continues, they won't ever recover. The head questions him: bullying? Tasuke explains that some girls are being targeted because of the rumors amongst the students, so he wants to end that first thing. The head hasn't heard a single thing about that, though if that be the case, they should review the material to prevent further harm before allowing the lecture to be given. Tasuke asks how long would it take for that to happen, but the head doesn't know, as he has to bring it up with the other departments first. Tasuke doesn't have the time to wait, as it'll be far too late.

The head tells Tasuke that since no school has reported any bullying incidents, there's no proof, so they'd have to investigate first. Tasuke isn't liking this whole waiting thing. The head brings up that if these rumors of mahou shoujo are causing bullying, then a lecture is out of the question for the time being. He'll find out if there's actual bullying going on in due time, disappointing Tasuke.

====9-3====

Tasuke meets up with another professor at a cafe, who is surprised that Tasuke messed up as he's usually great at building relationships. She's even more surprised that he's still doing research on mahou shoujo. He tells her that it's become his life's work at this point because his daughter is in danger, which she (the other professor) still has trouble believing, but is warming up to to it. She's been hearing these rumors going around from students, so she's thinking it's something that should be researched more.

He asks her if she'd be willing to help him talk about it with students to help clear misconceptions. She tells him he's quite the lucky one, bringing up this Night Fun Homeroom show, which he's already familiar with. She says she's been invited for a segment of it, and offers Tasuke to come join her and talk about maniacal stories in Yukuni City.

Urara and Kurara's manager calls to them, letting them know the professor asked to change topics for the next show. They're both fine with it as long as they got time to make their script. Kurara asks what the topic will be. The manager asks her not to be surprised when she hears it, as GUESS WHAT KURARA, IT'S YOUR FAVORITE TOPIC AGAIN! Urara is more shocked upon hearing this. Kurara starts whining that she's been cursed with dealing this and doesn't want any more trouble. Urara can't believe it's been brought up by someone else, and makes it clear this was absolutely not her idea this time. The professor said she wanted to clear up false rumors going around, and felt sorry for girls being bullied due to misunderstandings. Kurara really hates having to put up with this, but her manager tells her it's all good, just keep on doing shows about mahou shoujo. Urara is happy to, while Kurara is clearly not.

Rabi: "Since he gave a lecture at the festival, he's been talking to the board of education..."

====9-4====

The trio stand on top of a rooftop listening to tonight's episode of Night Fun Homeroom, finding it hard to believe Professor Satomi is on the show. Rabi admitted to what they've done on the last episode, so even if a third party talks about it, who knows if the students will change their opinions.

Continuing inside, Urara asks the professors how can mahou shoujo not be known anywhere across the globe? Tasuke says his theory is that they just get misunderstood. He explains that they protect people from witches, but they themselves become witches, so without them witches wouldn't exist. Kurara tells him that if they know the consequences, then you can't blame people for being against them. Tasuke brings up that very few actually know their fate of becoming witches when they contract, meaning what the girl on last week's episode said was very likely the truth.

Every mahou shoujo has their own hopes and dreams, their own family and friends. They have their own problems they want to escape from, so they become mahou shoujo. Some suffer from illness or get caught in accidents, so when they get offered a contract, they don't get the time to learn about becoming a witch. Urara is shocked to hear some don't even get time to make a judgment call when offered. Tasuke tells her it's because Kyubey doesn't decide the contract, the girl does.

Tasuke continues to say that while he can't make a broad statement, most mahou shoujo are pure children, just like those who were on the show previously. Urara agrees, as they came on to take all the responsibility of the festival. Tasuke says that no matter what, they can't fight back because then it would make them seem hostile, so they're trying to at the very least help prevent other girls from suffering. They've been letting themselves be sacrifices for others to vent their emotions.

The other professor says that brings them to the current situation. Tasuke says mahou shoujo are on the path to becoming forgotten by history. Urara asks if anything can be done. Tasuke says just show a little kindness to mahou shoujo and those around you so more won't be created. That's all anyone can do right now. Urara asks if they have any ending statements before the show ends.

Tasuke states that if witches are increasing, then Yukuni is in more and more danger. However, it's not mahou shoujo or those who hate them that are the cause, but their surroundings that cause them to suffer from various problems, and he wants people to think about that. He also hopes that mahou shoujo will be relied on, as they're the only ones who can stop the damage being done to the city.

Tasuke arrives back at the inn, with Rabi welcoming him back. She thanks him for all the help he's given. He says he's just doing what he can and doesn't know how this will turn out, but Rabi says even so, she's happy to know people exist out there who think of them. Tasuke brings up that there were more suicides today as well, so now that the cat's out of the bag regarding their lives, the rest is up to her and the other mahou shoujo.

Urara: "She didn't want to deal with this mahou shoujo business, so now Kurara's gotten mad..."

====9-5====

Rabi: "Is this the outcome of the broadcast...? The atmosphere coiling around me has changed..."

Rabi has noticed that less and less people are messing with her shoe box. Shirogane comes up to talk to her in person. She apologizes for always running away from her, using the bullying as an excuse for her to go away. Rabi tells her it's okay, as she's given her more than enough support. She tells Shirogane she should be the one apologizing, and tells her not to bow to her.

Sasha is met by two of her old friends, who offer to help her clean the classroom. They both shyly apologize to her for disregarding things about her. Sasha asks if they heard the broadcast. They did, and hate that they kept their distance from her and pretended she didn't exist, and ask for forgiveness so they can be friends again. Sasha gladly accepts them, just happy that even one person can understand her.

Asahi notices her class is quieter than usual, calling it a miracle that only happened because of Satomi Tasuke. One girl walks up to Miura and says sorry to her for saying she was going to protect her, but backed down when others put pressure on her. Asahi tells her not to worry about it, as just thinking of helping her makes her happy. She really is sorry though.

Kuroda on the other hand is still giving Asahi a mean stare. Students are starting to whisper that Kuroda no different from a murderer. People who believed him are at fault, but without a leader this wouldn't have happened. One student whispers they feel so sorry for Miura-san. Asahi looks visibly upset.

====9-6====

Asahi: "It's a good thing that the situation has improved, but I feel unwell about this..."

Asahi rushes to her school's rooftop, screaming how irritating this is. She's grateful that people understand them now, but no matter what they said, they've always been bystanders. They're not exterminators nor protectors, and this isn't the sympathy Rabi spoke of. None of these people have emotions, they just drift along like cotton caught in the wind. If any of them thought about how Kuroda felt when he lost Haitani, they wouldn't turn their backs on him so easily. She curses seeing the worst in humanity in today of all days.

Kuroda walks up on her, saying it can't be helped. Everyone is right about him; he is a murderer. Asahi asks what he's here. Kuroda says he wanted to be alone, and Miura just happened to be here. He knew all along there was no reason to kill people just because he lost the girl he loved. he just can't keep it up anymore if everyone is against him.

Asahi angrily asks if he's lost his nerves. Kuroda tells her she's a weird one for getting angry for him and asks how many times he's hurt her. She tells him she's a mahou shoujo; she can make pain disappear. He tells her that an ordinary person would've died, making her pause. He says he's sure a lot of girls would've witched out. He says if becoming a witch isn't an escape, but death to them, then he's been killing people. He slumps back, asking himself what the hell. Asahi smiles and says her promise to Haitani can be kept it seems. She explains to Kuroda that she can summon the dead and speak with them, and that Haitani said she didn't want Kuroda to kill any more people.

Asahi says that while there were twists and turns since this began, at least Kuroda has gone back to normal, quoting his "the hunting rifle was going too far." She felt that when she heard him say those words. He says he's been slowly calming down over time. Kuroda then asks Miura to stop the damage being done in Yukuni. If mahou shoujo can reduce the number of incidents going on, then the extermination group should stop. Asahi tells him he's terrible for still asking her to work hard, but either way she doesn't care who her opponent is; it's a promise. Kuroda tells her he should be given the death penalty, but it probably wouldn't happen. So, if the extermination group is put to an end, he'll go to a juvenile detention center. He says he doesn't think he could live if he doesn't pay for his crimes.

====Boss 9====

Rabi: "The professor has reminded me of the original hope I had forgotten."

===Chapter 10: Recovery===

====10-1====

The six remaining mahou shoujo have gathered and vowed to work together to restore trust. Tasuke and the other professor found the last broadcast to be a success, as more and more people are disagreeing with the extermination group. The six girls have been slowly taking care of the various witch-related incidents hurting Yukuni, as noted by local news. Plus the extermination group is said to be okaying the mahou shoujo now that things are improving. Tasuke calls this a crucial moment for them, as spreading word of mahou shoujo means more people to defend them, something that's never happened in history.

After a battle, Sasha gives a grief seed to one of the side girls, explaining that these are all that's left of what was once another mahou shoujo. She calls this their final act of kindness. The girl is thankful that even in death they still save one another. This witch they just defeated was this girl's childhood friend, who made the same wish as her, and supported each other despite being at odds. Both of them fell for the same guy, so her wish was made to get him after her friend had made the same wish, making it seem she stole him from her. They got into fights over it as neither of them knew their crushes were one and the same. The became friends again after she left the guy, leaving them both wondering what the point of it all was. She just hoped they would become known and get something out of it. Sasha apologizes, saying it was probably her fault. The girl tells her she's the same, as she's also told close friends her secret and held the same hope. Sasha and the girl promise to both work together, to help make the world kinder and keep her promise she made to her late childhood friend.

Alexandra: With the six of us, let's regain the trust of mahou shoujo.

====10-2====

The students at the extermination group are arguing over whether they'll make peace or not now that the city's becoming safer. Some are disappointed in Kuroda for backing out, still angry over the lives lost. One girl has been taking to social media to sway opinions against mahou shoujo at school. One boy suggests they drop aggression and switch to making people cry. Shirogane steps in, telling him crap like that isn't going to work any more. She tells him no matter what shady tactics they use, people will just post against them and defend mahou shoujo. She then says if they start shedding tears at school, it'll be known that they dry their eyes with hands stained with the blood of mahou shoujo, and her group will prove it.

The boy asks where their group suddenly got all this strength from. Shirogane tells him they've always been there in hiding, so don't underestimate them. An associate of Shirogane's shows up, telling her there's hate speech going on at Yunohana International's campus. Shirogane tells her to get some people over there to stop it before it gets out of control. Shirogane tells the exterminator boy that some of his buddies have even come to join them. She asks him why not just stop the fighting and see what mahou shoujo will do for them.

Rabi: "Thanks to Shirogane's group, it seems the extermination group is in hiding..."

====10-3====

Asahi and another nameless mahou shoujo meet with and learn that Sasha and the other defeated the witch. They discuss what it's like to know that these witches are born here and not coming from somewhere far away, and how horrible it is to guess who they once were. There's still two more witches nearby, so they need to prepare themselves for whoever they might've been. Another girl wonders if the exterminators will come to interfere, but Rabi tells her that the protectors are back in force because of the professor's actions. Shirogane texted her that exterminators are joining their side, so it's easier to watch their movements now, leaving the mop up to them now. Rabi and Asahi each take one nameless girl with them to divide and take out the remaining two witches.

Asahi and one girl get close enough to read the reaction coming from their witch. The girl with her knows who it was - a top swimmer who became a mahou shoujo and once saved her. Asahi knew her too, and can't believe it. The girl was her manager on the swim team, and has been trying to spread word of mahou shoujo, but once she was discovered because of her ring, the exterminators also went after the swim girl too. Asahi tries to apologize, but the girl says it's just as much her fault for trying to tell people she didn't get along with. She says she's rather disgusted with herself for robbing that girl of such an incredible school life.

Asahi asks her if the witch is really her, as she never saw anything in the group chat about that girl disappearing. She says that the girl hated SNS, so the only person who had any contact with her was her. She tells Asahi that she was a wonderful mahou shoujo, as she helped everyone around her. Asahi tells her that she saved her before as well. The girl tells her that if the witch is too strong for them, she'll stop it from moving so Asahi can take them both out at the same time.

Asahi: "Attacking someone whom you respect must be unimaginably painful."

====10-4====

Rabi: "This is bad... My wounds are deeper than I thought..."

After their fight, Rabi is wounded with the mahou shoujo with her apologizing for pushing her too far and offering her the grief seed. They're out in the open, so they move to a playground to talk. The girl apologizes again. Rabi understands how hard it must be to have to kill your own sister. To have someone you grew up with, eat together with not only be gone, but turn into a witch, Rabi can't imagine how horrible it must feel.

The girl tells her that her sister was the cutest in the world. She was a little annoying and a prankster, but she would always forgive her. The one time she let her go out into the city alone...she promised... The girl starts crying. Rabi doesn't know what to say at a time like this, so she offers the remainder of the grief seed to her. She tells the girl that while this may not look like her sister any more, this is her way of staying by her side, by healing her. She tells her that perhaps her sister was never defeated all this time was because she wanted to see her sister one last time to say her goodbyes...

Later that night, Tasuke welcomes Rabi-chan back outside. Tasuke tells her that the news reported that incidents have gone down today. Rabi thanks him for setting them back on track and for reminding her of what she originally set out to do. She also thanks him for influencing the students. Tasuke's just happy to do what he can, and showing that mahou shoujo can be saved. Though the end results are still unknown, mahou shoujo carry hope, and they who believe in them also believe in hope.

====10-5====

Two of Sasha's friends are talking about how crazy it's been seeing the news reporting how much crime has gone up and then down. Sasha is back to singing in her classroom. She views cleaning the boards as the same kind of cleaning that they do with witches. She suddenly realizes she accidentally erased all the music on the board too. A girl tells her it's fine. Another tells her she's amazed at how Sasha isn't mad at them at all after everything now that people are realizing mahou shoujo aren't bad. Sasha tells her it's natural the way people reacted, given they didn't know witches are the ones that kill people. One girl apologizes to her for being so petty, and recognizes how awful she's been to her.

Sasha tells her the only thing she can't forgive her for is dragging a teacher in who had nothing to do with it. The other girl is okay with that, as that's all they've done aside from the obvious. Sasha tells her to wait until all the witches are defeated before they can make up. She thinks to herself that she doesn't want anything from others, as there will be even more consequences now if they fail again, but she'll use this as an excuse to try harder.

That evening, the six are out together again, hunting down the last two witches they can detect. The three nameless girls form one team to fight one of the remaining witches, knowing it's a tough one. Asahi and Sasha are concerned, as while they're used to fighting as three, will they be okay working as a team? They sense the witches on the move, so there's no time for arguing. Rabi agrees with them, telling them to be careful.

Asahi: "Though our victory is assured, some anxiety still remains..."

====10-6====

Urara kicks off the mahou shoujo corner of the broadcast. Kurara hates that this has become a common topic for the show. Urara says all the info about them is coming only from this show, so they've been getting a lot of viewer requests. Plus the manager has been enjoying including it in the program. Urara presents some new info that Professor Satomi left them. They got their hands on some "big data" showing the number of crimes and incidents in Yukuni, showing that it skyrocketed for some time, but has now taken a nosedive. Urara explains that the data shows exactly the times when mahou shoujo were being hunted down and the number of incidents increasing, and likewise when the exterminators calmed down, incidents dropped. All the data is showing that as mahou shoujo regain trust in the city, it becomes a safer place.

Inside a barrier, Rabi is telling Sasha to use her weakening magic on all the familiars, which Sasha claims is way too many. Rabi uses her own unique magic of "reinforcing concepts" to strengthen Sasha's own unique magic. She tells Asahi to distract the familiars to give Sasha time to weaken them all. Asahi shoots them to draw them to her, Sasha weakens them, and Rabi cuts through them with her boomerang.

Meanwhile in the other barrier, one girl got her leg broken by an attack just now. Another asks if they can leave, as it's clear they don't stand a chance. The first girl says she only needs one leg, so they should stay and defeat the witch. If the witch gets away, people will get hurt again. They agree and go over a plan first before heading to the witch.

Alexandra: "This is the last witch whose magic I can sense. Everyone, please hang in there!"

====10-7====

Rabi: "I wonder if those three were able to defeat the witch safely."

The three collapse to the ground, having defeated the witch. One of them giggles, knowing that while they succeeded, they're all at their limit. They're ready to do what they planned. Kuroda and company find them. One girl notices the girl with the broken leg. A boy asks if they just leave them alone, they're gonna die, aren't they? Kuroda tells him no, they're gonna become witches.

Kuroda walks up to them, asking where's the grief seed. One mahou shoujo says they were hoping one would drop, but it didn't. He asks what about going to a hospital, but the girl tells him without magic, they're done for. Another of the mahou shoujo asks if they're here to watch them become witches and start the cycle of hatred all over again. Another tells him they already made a decision together: that they won't follow the path to becoming witches, as that's like death to them. One says that she won't become a witch, and asks Kuroda to promise that he become friends with Himuro-san and everyone again once they save the city.

One boy asks Kuroda if he trusts them. A girl tells him she's not sure what they're planning. Kuroda promises. He tells the mahou shoujo that he understands and they can be friends again. One of the mahou shoujo is happy to hear that and thanks him, as all three of them break their own soul gems. The students are left wondering what just happened with those jewels. Kuroda tells them they destroyed their souls before they could become witches, hoping that they wouldn't resent mahou shoujo or incite more incidents in Yukuni. One girl asks what they should do then. Kuroda tells her there's nothing left to blame mahou shoujo for. He thanks Shirogane out loud for her telling him where these mahou shoujo were heading...

====10-8====

Alexandra: "Even if I'm attacked I won't stop playing! So finish them while we still have time!"

Rabi's trio defeat their witch, who fought back hard. Sasha's ribs are broken, leaving it hard for her to breathe. Asahi tells her that she can recuperate from home as a mahou shoujo. Sasha tells her that while she may be able to control the pain, she doesn't want to do anything too out of the ordinary.

Asahi gets a sudden text from Kuroda. She is shocked to read what he said. It's really down to just the three of them. Rabi and Sasha are shocked, guessing she means that the other three are now gone. Asahi sees that the three all voluntarily left the group chat, and Kuroda witnessed the three of them die. Sasha asks if this was the exterminators' doing, but Asahi tells her that Kuroda wrote they broke their soul gems before becoming witches. In other words, the exterminators had nothing to do as the girls destroyed themselves.

Also, Asahi continues, now that peace is restored in Yukuni, Kuroda wants to disband the exterminators and unite everyone again. It's painful, though. Sasha notes that those 3 girls worked so hard to bring peace back, so everyone could be happy together again. Rabi says that all they can do now is repay that kindness by making sure mahou shoujo are understood so they really can work together with people.

Shirogane is at home, unable to believe those 3 girls took their lives. She knows she can't be happy even if things are looking brighter now. But she also knows she can't give up either, as this is her chance to unite with those still in the exterminator group. She thinks about all this, finding it weird that she's working for someone else's sake, that she'd become someone that people recognize, and not just by Himuro-senpai, who has also been fighting alone. She looks out the window, realizing they've both been recognized by the starry sky and had their existences proven.

Asahi, back in the forest, is thinking to herself that they've been saved from the unseen hands that control their fate. But even so, they've shown disrespect to the hearts of Kuroda and other victims.

====Boss 10====

Asahi: "This is so uplifting. We were able to recover from the stigma against mahou shoujo."

===Chapter 11: Peace===

====11-1====

The time has come for the ceremony to unite mahou shoujo and the people of Yukuni. It's going to take place at a parking lot viewing area up the mountainside. Tasuke says having it away from the city is good in case of witches. They mention Night Fun Homeroom is going to be covering the ceremony as well since they've been the ones covering the topic from the beginning and got the attention of TV stations. Plus thanks to them, the choir club and the protector group were provided a bus to the venue. Tasuke is also coming as he was invited for his expertise on the subject. He doesn't want to get caught up in anything, so he's walking there at his own leisure. He also mentions this is a deeply emotional moment for him, so he wants to let the joy sink in on his way up.

Rabi asks Tasuke the reason he got the three of them here. He says that he actually had given up on trying to save mahou shoujo, and wanted to explain to them his real reason why. A "reason" deeper than the fact that they've gone unnoticed by history. He actually believes why mahou shoujo remain unknown is due to the "universe" itself. Rabi comments that this is sudden.

Tasuke gives a long fun theory. Mahou shoujo become witches to generate energy that maintains the universe. Kyubey makes contracts with girls to collect said energy. Asahi describes this idea as being food for the universe. Tasuke continues, saying just as the human body is made up of cells, you could think of it as them being a part of the universe. And among those people, mahou shoujo have an important role in creating energy the universe needs, just like the importance of mitochondria in cells.

Asahi then asks if they're more like creators of food rather than the food itself. Tasuke then asks well, even though mahou shoujo are essential, doesn't witching out and losing that production sound closer to a disease that makes the universe miss out? Sasha has heard of diseases that weaken mitochondria into losing their function. But if that's true, then saving mahou shoujo would be what? Tasuke continues, saying that it's like rebelling against the universe, making them what is essentially "cancer" to the universe.

Rabi asks if this means them turning into myths and legends throughout history is because they're not good for the universe. Tasuke says that no matter what efforts have been made to publicize them in the past, a mysterious force, like a trick played by the gods, seems to always distort things. If the universe itself has a so-called immune system or self-purifying system, then they are unknowingly being attacked by the universe. The result is, he believes, these unnatural situations where incidents occur affecting mahou shoujo in silence, in which they feel like they're being targeted by something unseen.

Rabi stops him, realizing this time there hasn't been any such interference. Tasuke says that's why he's getting so worked up and emotional: the three of them proved his hypothesis wrong! That's why he wanted to meet them today, to share this joy with them. He knows so many girls have lost their lives, but to have his resignation stopped has shown him that mahou shoujo can still be saved. He thanks them for giving him hope again. The three of them thank him in kind for supporting them. All that's left is for them to unite.

Rabi: "Finally the nightmare has ended. However, with so much blood spilled I don't know if I should be happy..."

====11-2====

Alexandra: "By now everyone in the choir club should be on board the bus."

The choir club are all boarding. One's nervous that she's going to be on TV, another is telling her friend that their singing for this ceremony is the only chance they get to atone for Kurisu. Kurara and Urara are ushering everyone to take their seats. Kurara sighs, glad this troublesome mahou shoujo business is finally coming to an end. Urara knows she's put her through a lot this whole time. The exterminator group isn't riding the same bus, as they already went ahead speak to Rabi and the others first. Shirogane asks the two of them to take care during the broadcast since today is such an important day for the city and for mahou shoujo.

Kuroda's group is at the parking lot up the mountain with the trio. Asahi had just got done explaining to Kuroda that witches are unlikely to show up in places with small populations (hence why the ceremony is up here). She also mentions the crew of Night Fun Homeroom coming to help, but she's apologetic for having everyone put in so much effort for this. Kuroda thanks her for all of it, as he wanted to arrange all this himself as part of his apology. Asahi says this all started because she couldn't protect Haitani or anyone.

Kuroda knows it's impossible to be perfect all the time, and is glad to just have them support the city. One girl agrees, saying once she saw crime and incidents drop, she know she was mistaken and realized they really were helping them. One boy says he saw those girls die before his eyes just to avoid becoming witches. Kuroda asks if this meeting was so they could end their resentment, as he was planning on turning himself in to the police after, just as promised. Rabi and Sasha explain to them that they were asked them to come be healed, as they were all victims of the witches just like Asahi was. Asahi explains Rabi's plan was to invite the exterminator group here in hopes they they could heal them themselves this time, even if chose violence against them. Kuroda doesn't know what to say, but if the three of them are okay with this...

Aaaaand suddenly a witch's reaction, up this mountain, at this time of day!? It's the same witch that got away and caused the explosion at the festival. The very same one who taught them their fate. Rabi says it's like the one who started all this is coming back for them. To bring things to an end, as one might say, says Asahi. Kuroda asks if things will be okay. Asahi tells him that a witch that's lived this long will be a dangerous opponent, but they'll return safe and sound. Rabi agrees, as they are not playthings of the universe's volition any longer.

===Chapter 12: Recursion===

====Boss 12====

Sasha's magic doesn't seem to be affecting the witch inside. Asahi frustratingly wonders if it's a question of power difference, or one of affinity. Sasha tells her it's okay, as she doesn't feel anxiety anymore. Asahi chuckles, saying it's a coincidence, as she feels the same. Rabi says they don't have the confidence to win, but an unfounded belief that everything will be okay. Perhaps an indomitable spirit has brought them here, so that all the sacrifices made thus far were not in vain. Sasha agrees; maybe that's it♪

Sasha says this all started when they learned the truth. She thinks back to when they first saw the two girls witch out, realizing the reactions they gave off were the same.

Rabi says that they grieved over the truth of becoming witches, and wanted to be comforted by others. She thinks back to when she told Asahi and Sasha about when she lost her father, and how she's realized that she wants even just a little sympathy.

Asahi says that they tried to tell people about mahou shoujo, but the truth about witches caused them to suffer. She thinks back to the festival, when Kuroda called her the one who killed everyone there.

Sasha says the hardships only continued from there. She thinks back to the incident of the girl witching out in front of the police officer.

Rabi says however, there were those who supported them through it all. She thinks back to Tasuke saying he'd rather help her, and Shirogane apologizing for running away from her.

Asahi says there were mahou shoujo who fought til the bitter end. She thinks back to the final three who were determined to stop the witches by splitting into teams. They didn't want the cycle to start all over again.

She knows that without all this pain, this horrible truth, and all these hardships, they never would have understood what being a mahou shoujo means. What it's like to see a future with no salvation. Sasha says that even though they're the only ones left, and many have died throughout Yukuni, they're going to move forward and make their sacrifices have meaning. Rabi says this is why they've been brought here today, so that none of it will have gone to waste.

By holding hands, they'll grow together and support each other. This she now knows is how people will come to understand and become kinder. The future of both humans and mahou shoujo will be happier!

Rabi empowers Sasha and Asahi's magic. Asahi uses her magic to summon dead animals to fight by their side. Sasha uses her music to weaken the witch, leaving it incapacitated. The witch lets out a cry, but Rabi says they'll win no matter how strong it is.

Asahi: "We will put an end to this!!"

---

Tasuke is taking his long walk through the woods. He says to Nayuta (not present) out loud that there's still going to be many hardships ahead, but he feels like the way things are can be changed.

===Chapter 13: Self-purification===

====13-1====

Asahi returns to the parking lot, telling Kuroda and co that the witch was definitely the one responsible for the festival, and for Haitani's death. But she was also the mahou shoujo who originally saved Urara. Sasha continues that she was also the one who taught them the truth of mahou shoujo, but now that she's been defeated, the problems between them and humans can be laid to rest. Rabi interrupts, saying all that's left is to heal the exterminator group. Kuroda asks what exactly they meant by healing them. Asahi tells him to just leave it to them.

Sasha asks them to relax as she plays her music. The entire group start getting weaker as Sasha tells them she doesn't want them doing anything crazy if they get shocked. She leaves the rest to Asahi-chan and Rabi-chan. Rabi tells Asahi she's going to reinforce her unique magic just like in the battle against the witch. Kuroda asks Miura what the heck she's up to. Asahi tells him that, like she told him before, she can summon the dead. Since there's a lot of exterminators here, she needed Rabi's concept reinforcement to make this happen, and asks for his patience. She's going to summon all those who they wish to see.

She wishes upon the spirits of the deceased to heed her call. Those who perished in the avalanche and landslides. Those who lost their lives at the festival. If you can hear my voice, then show yourselves. There's a lot of people here who wish to see you, so at least show yourselves one by one... One of the boy's grandfather shows himself to him. A girl's sister appears. Haitani shows up in front of Kuroda.

Asahi: "Mahou shoujo help each and every person. This is the healing I am capable of."

====13-2====

Alexandra: "Everyone's become calm. Asahi-chan's suggestion was a big hit♪"

The boys grandfather scolds him for the terrible things he's done. The boy says if it wasn't for them, he'd still be alive. His grandfather tells him to forgive the sinner, not the sin, and tells him to not become a slave to desires, as that's no better than being an animal.

The girls older sister tells her she hopes to be thought of once in a while, and asks she let go of her grudge. The girl tells her she was overjoyed when she found out her sister was getting married, so she couldn't help but lose herself to her emotions knowing that future was taken from her sister. Her sister gives her one final hug, asking her to leave all the resentment behind.

Haitani is like well, guess Miura saved ya after all, huh? Kuroda tells her he made her worry and showed her his terrible side, but he's going to make up for it for her. She tells him to come see her someday, as she'll be waiting for him to make up. He's happy just to hear her say that, but Haitani isn't satisfied. She tells him there's something he forgot to tell her back then. Kuroda ain't dumb, he knows. He tells Haitani that's for a very, very long time he's liked her, and asks her to go out with him. She thanks him, as that's all she ever wanted to hear. She always liked him too, but she apologizes to him, saying they can't go out, as while they've been together since they were little, she doesn't want Kuroda to tied to her. She prays that Kuroda's next love comes true, and tells him to look forward. He tells her that he will live looking forward.

Asahi wonders if this will help Kuroda and everyone else. Sasha tells her they'll be fine, as she can feel the impurity in their hearts being cleansed.

Suddenly screams ring out. Someone cries out for their mama and papa. A flash of the dead rabbit is shown on screen as someone screams that there's blood. Kuroda looks around, wondering why the hell voices are screaming in his mind. All of the spirits are dying in front of them, their voices ringing in their heads. Kuroda yells to Miura to stop it. He can hear the final moments of all them all, feeling like he's gone mad. Haitani asks Miura to stop the magic.

Asahi is trying to make it stop, but her magic is getting stronger and stronger, and out of her control. Rabi asks where these voices are coming from. Sasha sees the members of her choir club surrounding them, wondering why they're here. Asahi confirms with Sasha that she can in fact only summon the dead. Rabi tells them to hurry and stop this, as normal people will be broken by their magic. Sasha says more and more of the protector group are showing up.

Shirogane shows up in front of Rabi. She tells her the bus fell and burst into flames. Rabi can't believe it, she has to be joking. Shirogane tells her it's true, she and everyone are dead. She apologizes, as she wanted to help her senpai until the end. Rabi tells her not to apologize, just stay alive. Shirogane tells her she's already through, though. She thanks Rabi, as meeting her was the last thing to ever make her feel fulfilled. Rabi starts crying, telling her to stop. Shirogane tells her she'll watch over her from now on, and asks her to keep an eye out for her. She prepared for today's celebrations. Sasha see black smoke in the distance.

Kuroda second guesses everything he's felt about Miura, thinking this was all their doing. Asahi tells him this isn't intentional. She doesn't get it, she could have sworn they defeated the last witch. She thinks back to what Tasuke's hypothesis, thinking that in the end, they really are trapped.

====13-3====

People in the city are rushing to the bus. Tasuke stands there, thinking just when he thought he could stop believing the universe has a will. Urara is trying to tell people to come transport Kurara, as she is looking terrible. She asks Tasuke to tell her the truth. He tells her there's no saving Kurara, it's already too late. Urara can't believe it; they were just together moments ago. Suddenly Kyubey shows up, finding Urara is troubled. Tasuke tells her not to listen to him. Despite his efforts, Urara listens to Kyubey and begs him to save Kurara.

Kurara wakes up healed, telling Urara she fell off the bus and inhaled a lot of smoke. She sees Urara wearing a ring, wondering why. Urara tells her she became a mahou shoujo to save her. Kurara can't believe it.

More people are yelling to each other to call a helicopter in. Some are saying this is the worst thing they've ever seen.

Kurara asks her why. Why did you only save me when you could have saved everyone in the accident. Urara tells her she wasn't thinking straight and was only worried about her. Kurara says so you let everyone else die? She tells Urara that she's always acted like this, and now thanks to her she's caught in this mahou shoujo business, and doesn't find it funny that she's nearly died once. She calls Urara selfish for never seeing those around her. Urara gets closer, trying to tell her that she just wanted to help. Kurara tells her to not touch her. Kurara tells her that she's glad mahou shoujo are hated, as they just wish for whatever they damn well please, changing fate to their whims. Urara is left crying, already coming close to witching. Asahi and Sasha are there to save her.

They take her to the forest and cleanse her soul gem as she cries out. Asahi says they defeated the witch, but have no idea what caused this. She and Sasha apologize to Urara for things turning this way, and for her believing in them to the point of becoming a mahou shoujo herself. Tasuke apologizes for not being able to stop her. Rabi is certain in a situation like that he wouldn't have been able to get through to her.

She asks Tasuke is there no way for them to be saved, as she doesn't understand what happened. She asks if they have no choice but to resign themselves to being destroyed by the universe's immune system, as he hypothesized. He says it's difficult, but there is one to save girls in the future: remove all mahou shoujo and witches in the world and instill a custom that stops them from being created. They might not be able to reduce the number to zero, but they could reduce the numbers greatly. If they interfere with Kyubey enough, then the universe itself can take care of the rest.

Rabi asks if he's serious. He's not, kinda. He doesn't want to just give up and believe this theory of his, as he still has those he wants to save. However, if the same thing continues happening, then they might as well believe there's no escaping the universe's intentions. Suddenly he starts coughing, and Rabi sees that his hands are bleeding. He says he's glad he disappeared from his daughter when he did.

Asahi has no more anger or sadness, her heart is just a vast, quiet, windless desert of resignation. Her heart is stone, no longer bleeding. Four rabbits now lie before the monument as she says she feels empty looking towards the future. She lies here as if shot. However, Rabi had said she could still hear the sound of struggle as she tries to find hope. If the universe really is against them, then nothing mahou shoujo do matters. After her last attempt, she just wants to give up...

Rabi: "I pity Urara so much for falling into the pits of resignation..."

---

Students at class are wondering how Miura could even show her face here, thinking it's her fault Haitani died. Another thinks she's the reason Kuroda lost his mind.

A girl asks Rabi why she killed Shirogane when she worried so much about her. She wonders why she spent all this time protecting Rabi.

Sasha tells a girl that she understands, and won't come to choir anymore. The girl makes it clear she doesn't want to SEE her ever again.

Urara's manager can't believe she's quitting, right after raking in so much money. He tells her the bus crash wasn't her fault, so she shouldn't get so worked up. Urara tells him not everyone sees things that way, so she's leaving to keep the girls there safe. Plus, she knows they'll be asking their duo to break up.

The trio speak, mentioning the students losing their minds and the bus that crashed down the mountain road. Many students lost their lives, including film crew, and the students who heard the screams of the dead at the parking lot had their minds broken. Pictures of the bus crash filled their minds, and the professor's theory made the emptiness in them grow slowly but surely. The professor began explaining to them all about mahou shoujo, Kyubey, and how they relate to the universe.

Asahi recites the line that things that are not known do not exist. The monument, history... Rabi says they're the same, and will disappear while leaving nothing behind. They're just pawns chosen by Kyubey to create energy that sustains the universe, and they can never escape that fate. Urara and Sasha say that there's no escape, as the universe will treat them like cancer if they try. The universe's immune system, as the professor put it, stops them without them even knowing. So the universe kills them before they even realize. Rabi explains to Urara that they're like mitochondria in the universe's system. Anything out of the body's normal function will be eliminated.

Asahi says she's felt like she was always being targeted, feeling it must have been the universe itself. Sasha agrees, describing this control like how she can control her body without seeing the signals that make it move. Urara doesn't understand, but asks if her, everyone at school, are they all just dolls for universe to play with? Asahi apologizes, saying they don't quite know, but they are certain they're being controlled by the unseen.

No matter how hard they try to be known, or to destroy Kyubey, there's a will so absolute out there, one that can't be reached. Her and Sasha say if something like that exists, there is nothing they can do. They can't be saved, and there is no salvation. Just like the rabbits Asahi hunts and eats, they too are food for the universe that could be killed at any moment. If they can be saved, it's for the universe to decide, so they can only give up. Resignation. And, just as the professor said, if any of this is true, they'll be the last ones to know it.

Kyubey interrupts the nice music to let them know that people know mahou shoujo exist, so if they want to just observe, head on over to Kamihama City. Sasha asks if he means they can test the professor's hypothesis there. Kyubey says he's not certain, but that would be the best place to do so. In Kamihama, there's attempts being made to publicize mahou shoujo. Not just one or two people, but a concerted effort. Sasha finds it strange that Kyubey is the one to bring this up to them, thinking he's telling them for some gain.

Rabi suggests they talk to the professor and then go to Kamihama. Asahi and Urara say Kyubey is just as much a part of the universe, so he can't be up to much. Plus they'll just be watching.

Fast forward, Tasuke tells them go for it and check out the situation. While they go investigate, he's going to keep working on his book. But if the same thing happens all over again in Kamihama, they'll have to put into practice a way to stop mahou shoujo from ever being created. A custom that for the rest of history will send mahou shoujo into the depths of folklore and nothing more. And then save the remaining mahou shoujo by eliminating them.

Rabi holds out her pocket watch, saying them disappearing is important in saving the present and future. Tasuke asks about the cool watch. She says it's broken, but it was a gift. She says there's five minutes left until midnight. When she sets the watch to midnight, she'll finally give up. Tasuke says that when it strikes midnight, a new tradition will be engraved in folklore... Rabi calls it the folklore of midnight (zero).

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who is always thinking negative thoughts. Ostracized by her family and by the people around her, she never gained any real confidence in herself. But she is gentle to others, which leads her to submit to the will of those who can be confident in their own abilities, and she is always content to serve quietly and obediently at their side. "What… was I born for? I need to change, don't I?"

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of Transparency. Its form is an Interrogation Chair.
The master of this emotion feels both pain and satisfaction from her Doppel's form. The main body of this Doppel is not the chair, but an invisible entity that is tortured endlessly while sitting atop it. This transparent Doppel uses its own blood to attack its enemies; however, it is not so easily controlled, and should the visible Doppel emerge from its master's right ear instead of the invisible one that typically appears from her left ear, it will scream and go on a rampage, swinging its guillotine at allies and enemies alike.

===Side Story===
Sana notices that [[Iroha Tamaki]] has a keychain for an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot. Sana explains that she's a fan of the show and starts talking about the cast and events. Sana apologizes for talking too much, but Iroha tells her not to worry. Sana starts to worry that her past will just repeat itself, and thinks about how she became a magical girl. Sana narrates that she's her mother's "stepchild". Her actual father has been dead as long as she could remember. Her mother would say that marrying Sana's father was the biggest mistake she ever made.

Sana's mother was always strict with her, and would yell at her no matter what. Her current father is a professor at [[Kamihama City|Kamihama]] University and teaches at its medical school. All he cared about were Sana's grades, which were always poor. He would literally call her a stupid girl and demanded that she get better. Sana also has two step-brothers from her step-father, an older one and a younger one. Her older brother had the highest grades in the country, while her younger brother was athletically talented. Both of her brothers were greatly loved by Sana's mother.

One day Sana asked her older brother to help her study. However, her older brother called her stupid as well. Her younger brother says that neither of them have to waste their valuable time on Sana. Eventually, it reached the point where her entire family declared Sana didn't deserve to be part of the Futaba family. Claiming that she tarnished the family name with her actions, Sana's family forbade her from interacting or even seeing them. They told her to send an email if she needed something. Since that day, Sana hasn't said a word to her family, and vice versa. Sana narrates that she had to stay quiet, or else it seemed she would be abandoned completely.

Since that day, Sana spent more time outside. She would spend her days wandering aimlessly. One day though she made a friend - a stray cat she named Miss Purrs, after the Mr. Purrs-a-Lot show. Every day she would feed Miss Purrs in a back alley and talk to her. She would do things like ask if Miss Purrs lived in an animal city, like on the show. Sana narrates that she was just living simply because she was too scared to die. Sana wonders if she could live in the animal city, but realizes it doesn't really exist.

One day, Miss Purrs vanished. Sana tried to find her and eventually met an old man who ran the store in front of Miss Purrs’ alley. The old man explains he called someone from the health department to take away the stray cats behind his store, and asks Sana to stop feeding them. The old man apologizes when Sana starts crying, but she runs off. As time went on, Sana started to believe Miss Purrs left because she talked to her. One day she thought she saw Miss Purrs but found nothing. Unbeknownst to Sana, it was actually [[Kyubey]]. Sana narrates she never saw Miss Purrs again.

After Miss Purrs disappeared, Sana decided to simply stay at school after class. One day, she met a student from her class who liked her Mr. Purrs-a-Lot keychain. Sana was happy to make a friend, especially since the student was also lonely like her. One day, Sana was bullied by some other students, who took her keychain. Sana looked to her friend for help, but her friend did nothing. That day, Sana just stopped going to school. She called her friend once, and after an awkward conversation Sana cut off all contact. Sana has no hard feelings, believing the student was scared as well. That was when she met Kyubey.

When Kyubey made his offer, Sana didn't even think about making wishes to fix her family or make friends. After all, she was betrayed by those people. Sana initially asks to be taken to the animal city where Mr. Purrs-a-Lot lives, but then just says to make her invisible. Sana explains she just wants to disappear from the world, as she believes herself worthless. Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks her what's wrong. Sana narrates that until she met Iroha, she lived by herself. Since normal people couldn't see her she stopped going to home or school, not wanting to deal with the world around. She thinks about what she would do if she hadn't met Iroha, but is interrupted by Iroha talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot. Sana mentally thanks Iroha for finding her and is glad she wasn't alone forever.

===Costume Stories===
====Winter Outfit====
One day Iroha arrived home to find Sana looking over a large pile of persimmons. Sana explains that [[Yachiyo Nanami]] receives a lot of astringent persimmons from her neighbors every year but was too busy at a photoshoot to make use of them until later. Since Sana has nothing better to do while at home alone, she decided to try her hand at making dried persimmons herself. Iroha offers to help and between the two of them they’re able to peel them, tie the stems with string, then wash and hang them up to dry. The two decided to check on the fruit everyday to make sure there’s no mold as the fruit dries.
Yachiyo notices how they bring the fruit inside everyday in order to avoid the night dew and prevent the fruit from molding. She warns them to be careful of large birds that will aim straight for the dried persimmons if they’re not careful. After that, Sana increased the security around the dried persimmons. However, despite her increased precautions, several of the persimmons kept disappearing during the day and night and it seems that the bird nets were useless against these big birds.

One late night, [[Tsuruno Yui]] and [[Felicia Mitsuki]] had snuck downstairs to sneak off some of the persimmons. As they prepare to grab a bunch, the kitchen lights suddenly come on and Sana stands facing them, already transformed. She warned them that she won’t forgive them as both Tsuruno and Felicia cry out for mercy. Soon those two “birds” learned to leave the dried persimmons alone even if they truly believed that eating them secretly made them that much tastier.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Sana has come to the beach to play with Iroha and company. Iroha takes a break from swimming and asks if Sana has swam already. Sana says she's taking a break herself. As the girls relax, Iroha remembers something and helps Sana make something in the sand. Sana recognizes it as "Gorogoro" from the show she likes. Sana proceeds to monologue about the show internally. Iroha asks her why she's staring. Sana says it's because it's amazing and asks if Iroha is a "Gorotor", a creator of the show. Iroha is confused.

Sana decide to make a sand version of "Gorogoro"'s friend "Wonderful", which Iroha recognizes. Iroha remembers there was an episode where the characters were in a beach volleyball tournament, but couldn't win first place. Sana makes another character that appeared in the episode, and Iroha says she's making them fast. Sana then proceeds to make objects and locations from the episode.

An hour later, Iroha asks Sana to stop, pointing out that she filled the entire area with characters. People come by and wonder if there's a live performance going on. An embarrassed Sana flees into the ocean. Iroha takes a picture of the art. Sana narrates that when it comes to "Gorogoro" she gets so excited, and wants to try doing it again.

====New Year's Haregi====
Iroha and [[Tsuruno Yui]] are hanging out downstairs in their pajamas. Iroha is telling Tsuruno about how [[Ui Tamaki]] is staying with her parents a few days so they can all spend time together as a family. [[Yachiyo Nanami]] shows up in her pajamas carrying a large bag. When they ask what’s in the bag, Yachiyo explains her modeling agency had a big end of year photoshoot while wearing New Year’s kimonos and she was able to buy several of them for cheap afterwards. She calls down [[Felicia Mitsuki]] and Sana and presents each of them with their own New Year’s kimonos. Both Felicia and Sana are amazed at the beautiful garments and Yachiyo suggests they all go for a walk together once they get dressed.

The group takes a walk outside. Sana thinks the kimono that Yachiyo picked out for her fits perfectly whereas Felicia is too busy whining about how hard it is to walk in the zori, or wooden sandals. Sana doesn’t find it to be so difficult so Yachiyo asks them to hold on just a bit longer. Even though her feet and legs were beginning to ache, Sana didn’t say anything since she believed the discomfort was worth it to be able to hang out with everyone in kimonos. After their walk out, the trio head home and Yachiyo suggests they take off their kimonos, but Felicia doesn’t want to. Yachiyo says they should for now since Sana isn’t so comfortable in hers. She looks at Sana who remains quiet. Yachiyo asks Sana if her legs aren’t hurting but Sana is reluctant to admit it. Yachiyo reminds her they’re like a family now, so it’s ok for her to speak up her mind once in a while and let them all know how she’s feeling. Sana looks up and says she wants to keep wearing her kimono alongside everyone. Yachiyo smiles and says they can wear their kimonos for the rest of the day if she wants, and she’ll even let them stay up a bit late too. Tsuruno and Felicia are shocked at how lenient Yachiyo is being for once.

The next morning, Sana thinks back on all the fun they had while wearing kimonos for a day. She thinks that maybe it was ok to be selfish just this once. When Yachiyo greets her good morning, Sana decides to be selfish just one more time and asks Yachiyo if she wouldn’t mind helping her get dressed into her kimono again. Yachiyo smiles and tells her how happy she is that she liked the outfit so much.

==Powers and Abilities==
Due to the nature of her wish, Sana is completely invisible and silent to humans except other magical girls. This form of invisibility can be used to help Sana escape from difficult situations or to obscure her image from other people to make them oblivious to her presence, this form of invisibility can't even be detected as her magical signatures are also obscured. It is unknown wether Sana can make others invisible through enchanting them or through physical contact but one can assume if she learnt to do this it would be possible for her ability to extend to other individuals.

Sana is able to utilise her shield for defence and Sana herself is quite armoured, allowing for increased endurance during combat or allowing her a better chance to protect her allies. Her shield is also able to summon various instruments of lethal capabilities such as pendulums with axes on the end, drills, pliers, chains and many more weapons. She can seemingly summon these instruments on command.

When her soul gem turns black, her doppel, Theresia comes forth. Theresia is a notoriously dangerous doppel as one side of it contains a large axe which can be spun around by the doppel very quickly to attack enemies with. The doppel can also summon spiked shields to send forth at it's enemies to attack them with, though the primary threat is the liquid the doppel always produces as it can quickly gather into masses around enemies which can leave them immobile. The liquid damages it's enemies over time and eventually explodes.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "two" (二) and "leaf" (葉), respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrators are [[Ume Aoki]] and [https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=creator&creatorid=46267 Sasagi Koushi].
* Sana's Side Story was slightly edited due to the inconsistency of her having a boy in her all-girls school. [https://twitter.com/tadokoroad1029/status/930773338410049541 See here.]
* Her weapon is reminiscent of a police riot shield that spawns various types of pliers and wrenches.
* Sana's doppel is the first to have more than one doppel attack depending on which half of the doppel is summoned. There is a set pattern for each half of the doppel and there is an equal likelihood of either half being summoned in battle.
* Her Doppel's name, Theresia, may be a reference to [[wikipedia:Maria Theresa|Maria Theresa]], 18 century female ruler of the Habsburg dominions or the ''[[wikipedia:de:Constitutio Criminalis Theresiana|Constitutio Criminalis Theresiana]]'', the code of law published by her in 1768. The code standardizes the methods of torture, in order to regulate and limit the arbitrary use of torture. The statutory volume contains [https://archive.org/details/ConstitutioCriminalisTheresiana-1768/page/n341/mode/2up illustrations of torture devices], but there doesn't seem to be an illustration of the [[wikipedia:Iron chair|torture chair]].
* Sana's Magia name is German for "torture prison".

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who has arrived in Kamihama as a Puella Care (Traveling Coordinator) in a supporting role.
She is improving her skills as an Adjustor while studying at home without going to school. She continues to strive forward and has a friendly personality with a good reputation, but she often depends on her numerous relatives due to her age.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of Nomadicism. Its form is a cookie. The master of this emotion is anguished by the sight of her Doppel innocently playing without a mote of hesitation, as she feels that it is both a symbol of freedom and of guilt to her. This Doppel acts out of pure instinct as it freely floats and drifts around. Everything it does– yelling loudly, eating food, wrapping itself in lively colors– it does simply for its own enjoyment. No matter who it causes sorrow or pain to, it remains unaffected by this world’s concept of sin. Perhaps because it seems like an unblemished child at first glance, it gives off the impression of a pitiful being that can’t grow up, so the older its victims are, the more likely it is for sadness to take precedent over their terror.

===Side Story===
''The following is a summary posted on 4chan's /pmmm/ general''

Sudachi was a loner in class who liked to avoid trouble. Then one day, her teachers' former classmate who was a victim of bullying rushed into class and took them hostage with a gun and knife. After torturing the teacher, he planned to escape, asking for a hostage to go with him. Since she had no friends, the whole class except the teacher, pushed Sudachi forward as the hostage with even the criminal noting they don't care if she were to die. The fearful Sudachi wonders why she was chosen and not any of the others and that she never caused trouble. Kyubey chose this time to ask her for a contract.

Out of anger and fear, Sudachi wished that only she be rescued. Kyubey informs Sudachi that he can grant ANY wish and asks her to think twice: Is this really her wish?

Since the guy is advancing towards her with a gun and combined with her initial anger, she says yes and Kyubey grants the wish.

Thanks to Kyubey's interference, the criminal suddenly claims to feel a kindred soul in Sudachi. She is like him, being outcast by everyone in class. So, he will spare her and only her, killing the rest of the class after cursing them to bear their sins to hell. It was too much for Sudachi and the experience along with her regrets gave her PTSD, making her unable to speak from then on.

After this Livia invited her along to Kamihama where their work, which will bring about even more good even though it might cause casualties, could give them salvation. Thus, Sudachi tags along.

There she met and befriended [[Mikage Yakumo]] who has overcome her own demons as a result of being Mitama's sister. Mikage still loves her all the same despite knowing the less glorious parts of her sister. She extends her hand towards Sudachi, who is reluctant to believe that she can have salvation. Mikage claims that she is giving her the benefit of the doubt, and this is after learning the truth.

Sudachi is touched by this, and Mikage became her first real friend in Kamihama, believing in her eventual redemption.

==Powers and Abilities==
In [[Magia Record Main Story Part 2 Chapter 2|Chapter 2 of Magia Record's 2nd arc]], Sudachi is seen taking an injured [[Shizuka Tokime]] from some mountains all the way to [[Livia Medeiros|Livia Medeiros's]] [[Puella Care]] caravan, implying that in addition to her innate wish-given destructive magic, she has a form of teleportation magic.

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "assistant" or "help" (佐) and "harmony/peace" (和) respectively.
* The characters of her first name mean "moon" (月), "exit" (出), and "village" (里) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Sudachi made her wish to survive a school shooting after her classmates offered her as a hostage to the shooter; the implicit meaning seems to be wanting the rest of her classmates to die in it.
* Following this trauma, she suffers from aphasia and only speaks unintelligibly through the game. When speaking to Yozuru or Mikage, she uses her telepathy to communicate.
**Her voice lines, however, are translated when checking them. It is possible to make her talk normally by buying a special item in shop.
**She can't enter the School building because of psychological trauma, according to [[Nayuta Satomi|Nayuta]]'s MGS.
* Her doppel is not designed by the Inu Curry team, but by Akio Watanabe.
* Her Doppel resembles the nursery rhyme "The Gingerbread Man." Which it means that the Gingerbread Man was being hunted down in a way to escape the people and the animals chasing down. As the line says, "Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man!" is a metaphor for being hunted down so that she want to escape.
*Her illustrator is [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akio_Watanabe Akio Watanabe], who also illustrated the Monogatari crossover characters.
*Her design may be slightly based on vampires, mostly her cape and the part of her hair, which resembles bat ears.

==Summary==
A devoted and gentlemanly Magical Girl who came to Kamihama as a Puella Care (Traveling Coordinator). Livia discovered the power of adjustment. The spirit of service is strong in her and she has a good reputation surrounding her, but her attitude is completely calculating. She was taught "the means to live" by Livia.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of courtship. Its form is a tower. The master of this emotion once had love engraved within her, albeit tied to chains of grief. But after having carved part of herself away, she cannot directly feel it, and lives on with hollow freedom in a wide-open world. This Doppel is likewise unable to sense the love that it holds within. It devotedly seeks out those who will treat it with care, and upon finding someone whose magic or environment resembles its own, it captures them with its opened ribs and mercilessly attempts to squeeze them into itself. But no matter how hard this Doppel tries to incorporate its target, it can never fill itself with that which it seeks.

===Side Story===
The story begins from [[Mifuyu Azusa]]'s perspective; Ever since the arrival of Puella Care, she suspects its members to be up to no good. She first begins tailing Yozuru, currently tending to Puella Care's trailer. She then watches her take hold of a book and grinning to herself after reading the contents inside. From that reaction, Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is up to no good. After she takes her leave with the book in hand, Mifuyu closely follows.

Yozuru first stops at Banbanzai; [[Tsuruno Yui]]'s father recognizes her as a regular, and serves her breakfast. After eating, Yozuru gives her compliments to the chef, which seemingly moves him to tears. Confused at his reaction, Yozuru checks her book again, wondering if she'd done something wrong to make him cry. Meanwhile, Mifuyu believes Yozuru intentionally caused grief to Tsuruno's father, but then concludes her reaction as too bewildered to have done that on purpose. After Yozuru leaves, Mifuyu continues following her.

Yozuru goes shopping, and gets positive reactions from all vendors around. Mifuyu first hypothesizes that Yozuru has the ability to manipulate people's feelings, but then dismisses that theory because she is a coordinator. Yozuru is then approached by a pharmacist's daughter, who asks her to play the piano. Yozuru complies, and her performance leaves a deep impression on everyone, confusing Mifuyu further as she begins thinking she is from some high class family. Yozuru then reunites with [[Livia Medeiros]] and [[Sudachi Sawa]]. After a brief discussion, Sudachi blows Mifuyu's cover by having Yozuru direct her attention to her. She first thinks about fleeing, but then decides to try the direct approach to getting to know Yozuru better, formally introducing herself after an apology. Yozuru believes she gave Mifuyu the impression of not being approachable, which Mifuyu denies. Livia decides leaving Yozuru be with Mifuyu so the two get to know each other better, but after a verbal pause between the two of them, Mifuyu immediately begins believing again they're plotting behind her back. Nonetheless, Mifuyu lets herself be guided around by Yozuru.

Arriving at Puella Care's HQ, Yozuru serves Mifuyu coffee and cake, but Mifuyu immediately thinks both are poisoned, remembering [[Mitama Yakumo]]'s horrible cooking. After constant hesitation about eating what she was offered, Yozuru takes it upon herself to taste-test the food for Mifuyu before she could even ask. Mifuyu decides to ultimately try it herself, and is amazed at the pleasant taste of it all. Mifuyu asks if such service isn't excessive for even a coordinator, but Yozuru replies she merely pours her hobbies into her work. However, Yozuru quickly switches back the topic and asks Mifuyu once more why she wanted to talk to her.

Mifuyu asks about Puella Care, but specifically what it means to Yozuru. Yozuru replies that she feels free in this establishment, which makes Mifuyu recall her wish and express envy at Yozuru's feelings. Yozuru asks if Mifuyu has never known freedom, to which Mifuyu replies positively. Yozuru then asks how, and Mifuyu begins explaining her background, having been raised in a strict household in Mizuna Ward. Yozuru replies that their families are similar, despite her own family not being as ancient as Mifuyu's. She then explains the freest she ever felt is when she was able to grieve for her un-free self, which leaves Mifuyu confused.

Before Yozuru can explain more, a customer comes in. The 'customers' reveal themselves to be members of Promised Blood, and label Mifuyu one of the Magius, to which she replies she's a member of the [[Kamihama Magia Union]] nowadays. They hold themselves back from assaulting Mifuyu since they're on neutral territory, but Mifuyu briefly sasses them, which ticks them off. However, before they can do anything, Yozuru attempts to intervene, but all she can do is make funny faces, which bewilders all three other girls, and saddens Yozuru. One of the PB girls forces the other to apologize to Yozuru, but the coordinator replies she should be the one apologizing. Mifuyu decides she's seen enough after the PB girls leave, and takes her leave as well, concluding that Yozuru is a very gentle person.

Yozuru reunites with Livia and Sudachi later on, and they discuss the latest happening. Yozuru thinks she needs more training, as she'd tried to make jokes to defuse the situation, but failed to make even one. Livia insists Yozuru should continue trying to put Mifuyu's mind at ease, but Yozuru retorts that she lacks the kindness required to dispel her suspicion. Livia says that's why she's provided her with the book she carries around all the time, which she is thankful for. Livia explains that without kindness, you cannot understand the other party's feelings, which makes someone a poor coordinator. Sudachi's stomach rumbles. Yozuru picks up her book, and quickly makes the conclusion that stomach rumbling -> hungry -> but it's too early in the evening -> which means it's snack time. Yozuru decides preparing Sudachi and Livia a few sweets, Livia praising her for the good work. Yozuru then narrates that she lacks kindness because she wished it so.

A flashback shows a younger Yozuru's life with her mother, describing her past self as "gentle, yet not free". She narrates she loved her mother, but for no particular reason other than she was her mother. A young Yozuru decides gifting her mother a picture drawing for her birthday, but she remembers her piano lesson the day after, then swimming classes, all of which her mother registered her to. On her mother's birthday, Yozuru says she has a surprise for her, but her mother guesses it's the past test's result. Yozuru shows her the portrait anyways, but her mother criticizes it - her lashes are shorter, and her nose is too high. Yozuru then shows her the test results, which severely disappoints her mother. She then guesses the picture drawing took priority over the test, to which the young Yozuru shamefully nods. Irate, she grabs Yozuru's drawing and rips it to pieces.

She continues narrating more things about her mother, sprinkled with brief scenes of her past life; She's divorced and had raised Yozuru alone for a long time. Her job forced her to come home late at night, and Yozuru guesses she slotted her in that many activities so she never had time to realize the loneliness surrounding her. Sometimes, she would be gentle as they come, but sometimes, she would feel anxious, compare Yozuru to other children and turn strict. Such strictness even escalated to physical abuse, which managed to silence the young Yozuru at the time. However, she narrates that, when she reached teenagehood, she began talking back to her mother and standing up to this overexertion, beginning to make her own choices, shocking her mother. She was free from her grasp this way, but she would hear her mother lament every day about where she'd gone wrong. Later on, her mother was hit by a truck and died, but the road was so unobstructed such an incident should never have happened. Yozuru describes that moment as when she finally obtained her freedom for real, but whenever she thought about it, she could never stop crying.

With the insurance counselor, Yozuru is given a large sum of money. The counselor deduces Yozuru's mother must have been only concerned for her well-being, and must have been a great parent. Yozuru prepares herself to move to her uncle's house, packing her things and sorting through her clothes and other things in the apartment - until she falls on a diary kept up by her mother, detailing everything about Yozuru from the moment of her birth until her teenage years. Yozuru, baffled by her discovery, is suddenly submerged by regret, believing herself to be a horrible daughter, and begins to blame herself for living. She begins planning her own suicide, when Kyubey appears.

Kyubey offers Yozuru a contract. Yozuru asks if anything she wants can come true. Kyubey replies positively, even to the point of bringing someone back from the dead. Yozuru briefly ponders bringing her mother back to life, but says it won't change things. She then asks if, inversely, Kyubey can kill someone she hates, to which he nods. Yozuru then begins formulating her wish - to kill her... So that she continues on living. She formulated her wish this way because she believed her own end to be too easy of an escape route. As a result, Kyubey erased her guilt, 'killing' her kindness to allow her to live still.

Back to the present, Livia praises Yozuru for her hard work, but reminds her that her inability to pick up emotions will make it more than a tough task for her to perfect her coordination skills. Yozuru says it's no problem, and her mother had trained her to face worse than that. She then declares that since her life was saved, she intends to keep on living to the fullest of her abilities.

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "bamboo grass" (篠) and "eye" (目) respectively.
* Her first name is written in katakana. In her side story, it is explained with the kanji 夜鶴（"a crane of the night"）, a poetic parable referring to parent's love for their child. The original pronunciation of this idiom is [https://kotobank.jp/word/%E5%A4%9C%E3%81%AE%E9%B6%B4-655214 Yakaku].

==Trivia==
* Her wish cursed herself, resulting in the removal of what was causing Yozuru so much pain: her empathy. As a result, her personal attachments were killed, her emotional capacity severely reduced, and she has had to relearn how to connect and communicate with others.
* Her doppel is named after Frau Gothel of the fairy tale ''Rapunzel'', who kept a man's daughter locked in a tower in exchange for food from her garden.
** "Gothel" itself was actually an occupational title referring to someone who raises children, such as a midwife, Godparent, or foster parent.
**The doppel design also resembles the tower from ''Rapunzel''
**The doppel is adorned with [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campanula_rapunculus rampion bellflowers], from which Rapunzel was named after.
*Her illustrator is Fujino Fuji, artist of the Magia Record manga adaptation.
*Her doppel is not designed by the Inu Curry team, but by Fujino Fuji.
*Likely an error, she wears her magical girl clothes while going shopping and eating at Banbanzai in her MSS.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who has arrived in Kamihama as a [[Puella Care]] (Traveling Coordinator); she's referred to as Mitama's teacher. She has traveled around the country making adjustments and conveying her adjustment techniques to talented girls who can't fight witches on their own. She has a mysterious nature and no one knows her past.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of duḥkha-dhātu<ref>The word used is 苦界 (''kugai''), which is commonly read as as 'a life of prostitution' but can also be read as 'suffering world'. See [[wiktionary:दुःख#Sanskrit|दुःख]] and [[wiktionary:धातु#Sanskrit|धातु]].</ref>. Its form is a dendogram.
Due to the presence of this being that represents the origin of life, the master of this emotion is painfully aware of the inescapable yoke that forces her closer to becoming one who does harm.
This Doppel speaks of nothing and indicates nothing, simply growing its tree of life ever larger with the impurity it absorbs from its master. Though its form is wrapped in swaddling cloth, it is every bit as unblessed as its master, and it harms those who oppose it by maliciously scattering the impurity it gained from its birth. If another being trapped within the tree diagram were to appear, they would surely fall into a crucible of agony. Only the master can become an actual part of the tree.

==Etymology==
* "Livia" as a name may either be derived from the Latin word ''liveo'' ("to be livid" or "to be envious"), or a variation of the name "Olivia" ("olive").
* The name Medeiros is derived from the Portuguese word, ''medeiro'', meaning "a place where stacks of maize are gathered", or simply "a haystack".
** The surname may come from Celestino Medeiros, a criminal who confessed to having committed a double-murder in ''Braintree'', Massachusetts for which [[wikipedia:Sacco_and_Vanzetti|two anarchist brothers]] were executed; Celestino's confession was ignored in favor of punishing the anarchists because there were strong political pressures at the time to execute them instead.

==Trivia==
* It has been confirmed that she is [[Mitama Yakumo]]'s sensei who taught her how to use her magic to adjust magical girls since she herself is an Adjuster as well.
* She is the first dark-skinned character in Magia Record.
* Her Doppel's name is a reference to the [[wikipedia:Last_universal_common_ancestor|Last Universal Common Ancestor]] and the fetuses represent, from left to right: mammals, reptiles, humankind, fish and birds.
** They also represent the four elements, with the mammal as earth, reptile as fire (lizards and salamanders are commonly associated with fire), fish as water and birds as air.
** It vaguely resembles a uterus without Fallopian tubes in shape. This could go along with the alternate reading of the kanji used for its nature.
** It also shares a name with one of the Souju twins from [[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica]].
* Her designer is Sasagi Koushi.

==Speculations==
{{Theory/Header|status=unknown}}
* Her personal Memoria could be interpreted to mean that Livia was cheated on due to that she pretend to not know until her marriage.
* Her personal Memoria and Doppel could also be interpreted to mean that Livia suffered a miscarriage which ended her marriage.
** Another interpretation of the miscarriage theory is that Livia wished to harm her husband or his mistress, resulting in the mistress suffering a miscarriage.

==Summary==
A devoted and gentlemanly Magical Girl who came to Kamihama as a Puella Care (Traveling Coordinator). Livia discovered the power of adjustment. The spirit of service is strong in her and she has a good reputation surrounding her, but her attitude is completely calculating. She was taught "the means to live" by Livia.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of courtship. Its form is a tower. The master of this emotion once had love engraved within her, albeit tied to chains of grief. But after having carved part of herself away, she cannot directly feel it, and lives on with hollow freedom in a wide-open world. This Doppel is likewise unable to sense the love that it holds within. It devotedly seeks out those who will treat it with care, and upon finding someone whose magic or environment resembles its own, it captures them with its opened ribs and mercilessly attempts to squeeze them into itself. But no matter how hard this Doppel tries to incorporate its target, it can never fill itself with that which it seeks.

===Side Story===
The story begins from [[Mifuyu Azusa]]'s perspective; Ever since the arrival of Puella Care, she suspects its members to be up to no good. She first begins tailing Yozuru, currently tending to Puella Care's trailer. She then watches her take hold of a book and grinning to herself after reading the contents inside. From that reaction, Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is up to no good. After she takes her leave with the book in hand, Mifuyu closely follows.

Yozuru first stops at Banbanzai; [[Tsuruno Yui]]'s father recognizes her as a regular, and serves her breakfast. After eating, Yozuru gives her compliments to the chef, which seemingly moves him to tears. Confused at his reaction, Yozuru checks her book again, wondering if she'd done something wrong to make him cry. Meanwhile, Mifuyu believes Yozuru intentionally caused grief to Tsuruno's father, but then concludes her reaction as too bewildered to have done that on purpose. After Yozuru leaves, Mifuyu continues following her.

Yozuru goes shopping, and gets positive reactions from all vendors around. Mifuyu first hypothesizes that Yozuru has the ability to manipulate people's feelings, but then dismisses that theory because she is a coordinator. Yozuru is then approached by a pharmacist's daughter, who asks her to play the piano. Yozuru complies, and her performance leaves a deep impression on everyone, confusing Mifuyu further as she begins thinking she is from some high class family. Yozuru then reunites with [[Livia Medeiros]] and [[Sudachi Sawa]]. After a brief discussion, Sudachi blows Mifuyu's cover by having Yozuru direct her attention to her. She first thinks about fleeing, but then decides to try the direct approach to getting to know Yozuru better, formally introducing herself after an apology. Yozuru believes she gave Mifuyu the impression of not being approachable, which Mifuyu denies. Livia decides leaving Yozuru be with Mifuyu so the two get to know each other better, but after a verbal pause between the two of them, Mifuyu immediately begins believing again they're plotting behind her back. Nonetheless, Mifuyu lets herself be guided around by Yozuru.

Arriving at Puella Care's HQ, Yozuru serves Mifuyu coffee and cake, but Mifuyu immediately thinks both are poisoned, remembering [[Mitama Yakumo]]'s horrible cooking. After constant hesitation about eating what she was offered, Yozuru takes it upon herself to taste-test the food for Mifuyu before she could even ask. Mifuyu decides to ultimately try it herself, and is amazed at the pleasant taste of it all. Mifuyu asks if such service isn't excessive for even a coordinator, but Yozuru replies she merely pours her hobbies into her work. However, Yozuru quickly switches back the topic and asks Mifuyu once more why she wanted to talk to her.

Mifuyu asks about Puella Care, but specifically what it means to Yozuru. Yozuru replies that she feels free in this establishment, which makes Mifuyu recall her wish and express envy at Yozuru's feelings. Yozuru asks if Mifuyu has never known freedom, to which Mifuyu replies positively. Yozuru then asks how, and Mifuyu begins explaining her background, having been raised in a strict household in Mizuna Ward. Yozuru replies that their families are similar, despite her own family not being as ancient as Mifuyu's. She then explains the freest she ever felt is when she was able to grieve for her un-free self, which leaves Mifuyu confused.

Before Yozuru can explain more, a customer comes in. The 'customers' reveal themselves to be members of Promised Blood, and label Mifuyu one of the Magius, to which she replies she's a member of the [[Kamihama Magia Union]] nowadays. They hold themselves back from assaulting Mifuyu since they're on neutral territory, but Mifuyu briefly sasses them, which ticks them off. However, before they can do anything, Yozuru attempts to intervene, but all she can do is make funny faces, which bewilders all three other girls, and saddens Yozuru. One of the PB girls forces the other to apologize to Yozuru, but the coordinator replies she should be the one apologizing. Mifuyu decides she's seen enough after the PB girls leave, and takes her leave as well, concluding that Yozuru is a very gentle person.

Yozuru reunites with Livia and Sudachi later on, and they discuss the latest happening. Yozuru thinks she needs more training, as she'd tried to make jokes to defuse the situation, but failed to make even one. Livia insists Yozuru should continue trying to put Mifuyu's mind at ease, but Yozuru retorts that she lacks the kindness required to dispel her suspicion. Livia says that's why she's provided her with the book she carries around all the time, which she is thankful for. Livia explains that without kindness, you cannot understand the other party's feelings, which makes someone a poor coordinator. Sudachi's stomach rumbles. Yozuru picks up her book, and quickly makes the conclusion that stomach rumbling -> hungry -> but it's too early in the evening -> which means it's snack time. Yozuru decides preparing Sudachi and Livia a few sweets, Livia praising her for the good work. Yozuru then narrates that she lacks kindness because she wished it so.

A flashback shows a younger Yozuru's life with her mother, describing her past self as "gentle, yet not free". She narrates she loved her mother, but for no particular reason other than she was her mother. A young Yozuru decides gifting her mother a picture drawing for her birthday, but she remembers her piano lesson the day after, then swimming classes, all of which her mother registered her to. On her mother's birthday, Yozuru says she has a surprise for her, but her mother guesses it's the past test's result. Yozuru shows her the portrait anyways, but her mother criticizes it - her lashes are shorter, and her nose is too high. Yozuru then shows her the test results, which severely disappoints her mother. She then guesses the picture drawing took priority over the test, to which the young Yozuru shamefully nods. Irate, she grabs Yozuru's drawing and rips it to pieces.

She continues narrating more things about her mother, sprinkled with brief scenes of her past life; She's divorced and had raised Yozuru alone for a long time. Her job forced her to come home late at night, and Yozuru guesses she slotted her in that many activities so she never had time to realize the loneliness surrounding her. Sometimes, she would be gentle as they come, but sometimes, she would feel anxious, compare Yozuru to other children and turn strict. Such strictness even escalated to physical abuse, which managed to silence the young Yozuru at the time. However, she narrates that, when she reached teenagehood, she began talking back to her mother and standing up to this overexertion, beginning to make her own choices, shocking her mother. She was free from her grasp this way, but she would hear her mother lament every day about where she'd gone wrong. Later on, her mother was hit by a truck and died, but the road was so unobstructed such an incident should never have happened. Yozuru describes that moment as when she finally obtained her freedom for real, but whenever she thought about it, she could never stop crying.

With the insurance counselor, Yozuru is given a large sum of money. The counselor deduces Yozuru's mother must have been only concerned for her well-being, and must have been a great parent. Yozuru prepares herself to move to her uncle's house, packing her things and sorting through her clothes and other things in the apartment - until she falls on a diary kept up by her mother, detailing everything about Yozuru from the moment of her birth until her teenage years. Yozuru, baffled by her discovery, is suddenly submerged by regret, believing herself to be a horrible daughter, and begins to blame herself for living. She begins planning her own suicide, when Kyubey appears.

Kyubey offers Yozuru a contract. Yozuru asks if anything she wants can come true. Kyubey replies positively, even to the point of bringing someone back from the dead. Yozuru briefly ponders bringing her mother back to life, but says it won't change things. She then asks if, inversely, Kyubey can kill someone she hates, to which he nods. Yozuru then begins formulating her wish - to kill her... So that she continues on living. She formulated her wish this way because she believed her own end to be too easy of an escape route. As a result, Kyubey erased her guilt, 'killing' her kindness to allow her to live still.

Back to the present, Livia praises Yozuru for her hard work, but reminds her that her inability to pick up emotions will make it more than a tough task for her to perfect her coordination skills. Yozuru says it's no problem, and her mother had trained her to face worse than that. She then declares that since her life was saved, she intends to keep on living to the fullest of her abilities.

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "bamboo grass" (篠) and "eye" (目) respectively.
* Her first name is written in katakana. In her side story, it is explained with the kanji 夜鶴（"a crane of the night"）, a poetic parable referring to parent's love for their child. The original pronunciation of this idiom is [https://kotobank.jp/word/%E5%A4%9C%E3%81%AE%E9%B6%B4-655214 Yakaku].

==Trivia==
* Her wish cursed herself, resulting in the removal of what was causing Yozuru so much pain: her empathy. As a result, her personal attachments were killed, her emotional capacity severely reduced, and she has had to relearn how to connect and communicate with others.
* Her doppel is named after Frau Gothel of the fairy tale ''Rapunzel'', who kept a man's daughter locked in a tower in exchange for food from her garden.
** "Gothel" itself was actually an occupational title referring to someone who raises children, such as a midwife, Godparent, or foster parent.
**The doppel design also resembles the tower from ''Rapunzel''
**The doppel is adorned with [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campanula_rapunculus rampion bellflowers], from which Rapunzel was named after.
*Her illustrator is Fujino Fuji, artist of the Magia Record manga adaptation.
*Her doppel is not designed by the Inu Curry team, but by Fujino Fuji.
*Likely an error, she wears her magical girl clothes while going shopping and eating at Banbanzai in her MSS.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who has arrived in Kamihama as a [[Puella Care]] (Traveling Coordinator); she's referred to as Mitama's teacher. She has traveled around the country making adjustments and conveying her adjustment techniques to talented girls who can't fight witches on their own. She has a mysterious nature and no one knows her past.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of duḥkha-dhātu<ref>The word used is 苦界 (''kugai''), which is commonly read as as 'a life of prostitution' but can also be read as 'suffering world'. See [[wiktionary:दुःख#Sanskrit|दुःख]] and [[wiktionary:धातु#Sanskrit|धातु]].</ref>. Its form is a dendogram.
Due to the presence of this being that represents the origin of life, the master of this emotion is painfully aware of the inescapable yoke that forces her closer to becoming one who does harm.
This Doppel speaks of nothing and indicates nothing, simply growing its tree of life ever larger with the impurity it absorbs from its master. Though its form is wrapped in swaddling cloth, it is every bit as unblessed as its master, and it harms those who oppose it by maliciously scattering the impurity it gained from its birth. If another being trapped within the tree diagram were to appear, they would surely fall into a crucible of agony. Only the master can become an actual part of the tree.

==Etymology==
* "Livia" as a name may either be derived from the Latin word ''liveo'' ("to be livid" or "to be envious"), or a variation of the name "Olivia" ("olive").
* The name Medeiros is derived from the Portuguese word, ''medeiro'', meaning "a place where stacks of maize are gathered", or simply "a haystack".
** The surname may come from Celestino Medeiros, a criminal who confessed to having committed a double-murder in ''Braintree'', Massachusetts for which [[wikipedia:Sacco_and_Vanzetti|two anarchist brothers]] were executed; Celestino's confession was ignored in favor of punishing the anarchists because there were strong political pressures at the time to execute them instead.

==Trivia==
* It has been confirmed that she is [[Mitama Yakumo]]'s sensei who taught her how to use her magic to adjust magical girls since she herself is an Adjuster as well.
* She is the first dark-skinned character in Magia Record.
* Her Doppel's name is a reference to the [[wikipedia:Last_universal_common_ancestor|Last Universal Common Ancestor]] and the fetuses represent, from left to right: mammals, reptiles, humankind, fish and birds.
** They also represent the four elements, with the mammal as earth, reptile as fire (lizards and salamanders are commonly associated with fire), fish as water and birds as air.
** It vaguely resembles a uterus without Fallopian tubes in shape. This could go along with the alternate reading of the kanji used for its nature.
** It also shares a name with one of the Souju twins from [[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica]].
* Her designer is Sasagi Koushi.

==Speculations==
{{Theory/Header|status=unknown}}
* Her personal Memoria could be interpreted to mean that Livia was cheated on due to that she pretend to not know until her marriage.
* Her personal Memoria and Doppel could also be interpreted to mean that Livia suffered a miscarriage which ended her marriage.
** Another interpretation of the miscarriage theory is that Livia wished to harm her husband or his mistress, resulting in the mistress suffering a miscarriage.

Talk:Nemu Hiiragi

2022-02-13T00:50:47Z

Bigscarythings: /* Why the spelling "Fendt" in "Fendt Hope"? */

Her power appears to be the ability to create Rumors.

:Appareantly yeah, she's the one that created that rumor-spreading creature. According to Ch 7.17, Nemu creates the rumors, but it shaves away part of her life and possibly destabilizes her soul gem? strongly taints it?[[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 00:15, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Summary:
魔女化のない世界を作ろうとしている魔法少女。自己承認欲求を満たすために物語を書き始め、ネット上で掲載すると天才作家と呼ばれるようになった。だが、今まで誰も彼女には接触できていない。夢は世界中に自分の物語を具現化させること。

== Why the spelling "Fendt" in "Fendt Hope"? ==

Is there a reason why we spell the Magius' HQ "Fendt Hope"? According to Nemu's story, when she suggests it, Tsukiyo asks whether it does mean "微かな希望", which translates as "Faint Hope".

[[User:OLF, i.e. Olf Le Fol|OLF, i.e. Olf Le Fol]] ([[User talk:OLF, i.e. Olf Le Fol|talk]]) 01:33, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

:The North America server localized it as "Fendt Hope", so I assume that's the reason. I have no idea why ''they'' made that choice though. As far as I can tell, "Fendt" is a German surname means "little boy" or "farmer", and also a company that manufactures tractors, but neither of those seem like a reason to choose it. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:27, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

:Yeah, to quote Nemu's MGS:

::「フェントホープ」 Fendt Hope

::ねむ: ただの閃きでしかないけど、希望を皆が使用していると思って Nemu: It was just a shot of inspiration, but everyone was using the word "hope", so...

::月夜: それで「微かな希望」でございますか？ Tsukuyo: Did you say "Faint Hope"? Like a delicate glimmer of hope?

::みふゆ: 少し言葉を変えれば「見せかけの希望」にもなるよ Mifuyu: If it's "feint", it kind of sounds like a false hope.

::灯花: くふっ Touka: *Giggle*

::灯花: それに言語を換えれば、「希望を作る」みたいにもなるね Touka: There is a language with a cognate that would make it mean to "create hope".

:Touka may be referring to [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fer#Catalan Catalan's "fer" verb (to make/do)], which has a cognate of "fent." My guess is that the translator added the "d" to "Fent" to make the pronunciation clearer while still accommodating all these different interpretations.--[[User:Bigscarythings|Bigscarythings]] ([[User talk:Bigscarythings|talk]]) 00:50, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who is a great chef just like her father. Manaka's family runs a cozy, old-school restaurant. Her cooking is second to none, and her irritating overconfidence is her only flaw. That said, she is just proud of her hard work and has no ill intentions.

===Doppel Description===
The doppel of customer-gathering. Its form is propane. The master of this emotion is displeased with this Doppel, which can only produce poisonous meals due to the toxins that seep from its body. This Doppel uses the burners on the ends of its jellyfish-like tentacles to cook absolutely any ingredients into delicious poison meals, and forces its customers to enjoy a long stay in the seats that furnish its spherical glass head. The meals cooked by this witch have minds of their own, and are proactive in making surprise visits to customers’ stomachs, which makes it possible to enjoy one’s meal just by sitting in place. Incidentally, the meals may be poisonous, but they taste very good. But despite their taste, they make abundant use of suspiciously-produced ingredients, including mystery meat from unknown sources, moaning vegetables, and fruit that walks around on its own.

===Side Story===
[[Kyubey]] watches as Manaka makes a meal. Manaka asks if he's having fun watching her. Kyubey says it's just because Manaka has the potential to become a magical girl. Manaka narrates that her home is a Western-style restaurant named Walnuts. Manaka grew up idolizing her father, the restaurant's chef, and wants to follow in his footsteps. After Manaka finishes cooking, she realizes she's made too much. Manaka then narrates that Walnuts used to be a glamorous high end restaurant, but now only "odd-balls" come. Kyubey asks Manaka where her father went. Manaka says he left to get ingredients, prompting Kyubey ask why if he has no customers.

Manaka scolds Kyubey, calling him a tanuki. Kyubey says he isn't one, and Manaka says she was just insulting him. Kyubey offers Manaka a contract, but Manaka says she won't put her faith in "the magic of some sketchy-looking white tanuki". Manaka says she's chasing after a fresh start with her father: The entrance exam for St. Lillianna Academy. Manaka explains to Kyubey that St. Lillianna is a school filled with all kinds of prominent young women. Manaka says if she enrolls she can learn to cook like a high class lady, and make her restaurant popular in high society. Kyubey says that Manaka has a low chance of passing her entrance exam, due to her low grades.

Manaka says she knows, but explains her father believes this was the last chance for their restaurant. In fact, Manaka's father asked her if she would do this. Manaka says she can't abandon her father and resolves to study. Manaka returns to her room, causing Kyubey to ask why she's wearing her chef's coat. Manaka says it keeps her motivated, and asks Kyubey to leave. After that, Manaka tries to study, but keeps thinking of cooking.

Manaka takes the entrance exams for St. Lillianna and eagerly expects to pass. Unfortunately, she finds she only got accepted into Mizuna Girls' Academy. Kyubey offers to make her a contract. However, Manaka sees something which gives her an idea. Upon starting school at Mizuna Academy Manaka goes to the student council. She tells them she heard the student council is throwing an assembly for Mizuna and St. Lillian. She offers to make food for the party. The student council tells Manaka they already talked to a chef about it. When Manaka protests, they kick her out.

While walking home, Kyubey offers Manaka another contract. Fed up with his assistance, Manaka accepts but says she won't wish for the restaurant's success. Manaka believes the restaurant will succeed if people just had the chance to try its food, and so her wish is "Chance! I want a chance! Give me the chance to spread our restaurant’s flavors!" Time passes. A week before the inter-school assembly, the student council of Mizuna finds they chef they asked to cook for them was invited to a cooking competition. They reach out to Manaka for help, and she happily accepts. Manaka thanks Kyubey and says being a magical girl is amazing.

While preparing food for the assembly, the other cooks are surprised to find the replacement for the chef is Manaka. (The name of the replaced chef is also revealed to be Hayashi). Manaka oversees the cooking of the food, and the other cooks realize Manaka is a magnificent chef. The meal is a success, with fancy girls saying the food is even better than that of "The Heninsula". Manaka thinks that she expected this sort of success.

After the assembly, the student council allows Manaka to sell her special bentos at lunctime. They prove to be extremely popular among the students. In addition, every Thursday Manaka works as a visiting chef on St. Lillianna, where she is quite popular. Unfortunately, none of this translates to having more customers visit the restaurant. On the other hand, Manaka's father is now recieving invitations to tour as a chef. Manaka notices her father seems really happy when he goes out to tour, and wonders if he still worries about the restaurant. Manaka wonders why she even bothered trying.

Some time later, Manaka finishes selling her bentos at school. Manaka leaves one bento for herself to eat, but suddenly [[Sana Futaba]] rushes in, worn out. As Sana bemoans at how she was too late, Manaka offers her own bento. Sana is surprised Manaka can see her and asks if Manaka is a magical girl. Sana tries to explain she can only be seen by magical girls, but Manaka says that "a first-class chef never loses sight of their customers". Manaka offers her bento again, and Sana accepts. Sana says she'll come earlier tomorrow, but Manaka thinks this might be the last day she'll sell them.

When Sana asks why, Manaka explains her situation to Sana, and says she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure. Manaka says if she isn't helping the restaurant there's no point in cooking. Sana starts to cry, and though Manaka tells her it's no big deal, Sana says it is. Sana explains that she always hated lunch break because it reminds her of how alone she is. However, this changed when she had one of Manaka's bentos. Sana says the bentos are the only thing she looks forward to at lunch and starts to cry again. Manaka asks Sana why she doesn't use her magical girl powers to buy bentos before anyone else. Sana says she doesn't think it's fair. Manaka laughs and says Sana is honest.

Sana tells Manaka she shouldn't quit what she's doing, because even if she's not helping the restaurant she's still making people happy. Sana then apologizes for eating Manaka's bento, but Manaka says she bought more food, and invites Sana to share it. Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation. The next, Manaka is back to selling bentos, and Sana is once again too late to buy one. Manaka thanks Sana for her help. Manaka notices that she forgot to sell a bento and gives it to Sana. Manaka narrates that Sana is a precious customer.

===Costume Stories===
====Chef's Uniform====
Manaka is working on a new recipe when [[Sana Futaba]] stops by Walnuts for lunch. She asks if it's ok if she sits at the restaurant since it'll look like Manaka is serving an empty table to anyone who isn't a Magical Girl, but Manaka tells her not to worry. Since Sana is a friend of Manaka there's no problem in her having some lunch today. The owner is rarely at the restaurant, so they've only been opening it once a week which leaves Manaka kind of lonely. Sana assures her that the place will be filled with customers in no time so long as she keeps at it. She then notices Manaka's new chef uniform. Manaka is pleased that Sana noticed and tells her it was a gift from her father. Every time she gets a new set of chef's clothes, Manaka takes it upon herself to learn a new recipe and she wants Sana to try this particular recipe out since it was thanks to Sana that she learned to relax more and not take things so seriously. Sana cries tears of joy at hearing this and gets ready to try out Manaka's rare braised hamburger stew. But Sana notices that Manaka's new clothes have already been stained. Manaka laughs it off and tells her that stains are a sign of a chef's hard work and are to be shown proudly.

==Abilities==


==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "walnut" (胡桃).

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is "Kuraha", who also illustrated [[Tsumugi Wakana]].
* Her weapon can grow in size to almost comical proportions.
* Manaka's weapon and Magia attack could be a reference to a scene in [[Puella Magi Homura Tamura]], [https://images.puella-magi.net/5/52/Homura_tamura_frying_pan_weapon.jpg?20190627152444 where Homura receives a frying pan as a weapon].
* There was a glitch to her Doppel when it came out, as the effects were lacking. However, this ended up being fixed not long after.
** Her Doppel's name currently still mistakenly lacks the first letter in its animation, making it read as "Armela". However, the name is properly spelled in the Doppel archive.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who loves flowers and works at a flower shop. Konomi is kind and works hard for the shop owner, who she respects. She is a great worker, but can at times get distracted by her love of flowers. She is talented at flower arrangement.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of greening. Its form is humus. The master of this emotion is under the impression that her Doppel uses a good power for the sake of spreading greenery. The Doppel’s body is composed of soil, and contains enzymes capable of decomposing any and all organisms. Those who touch it will rot away and entirely decompose, becoming nutrients to make the land abundant and fertile. The black, downy fluff that it launches by swaying its body will also cling to those it touches; should one touch it, they’ll be devoured in an instant by fast-growing roots and transformed into a plant.

===Side Story===
Konomi welcomes [[Kaede Akino]] and [[Kako Natsume]] into the flower shop she works for part-time. Konomi narrates she began working for the shop, named "Blossom", because of the florist who showed her the beauty of flowers. When she was a child, the florist found Konomi crying from falling down and gave her a flower. Konomi has since done the same thing to other children who enter the shop. She believes that flowers color life with their own colors.

As a woman steps up to buy her flowers, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry things. Konomi thinks the florist got out of the hospital a little while ago. One day, Konomi found an ambulance in front of the shop. She learned that the florist had a hard to cure illness and might have had to close the shop. Konomi wanted to help but couldn't think of anything to do until [[Kyubey]] arrived and offers her a contract. Konomi wished to cure the florist's illness. Back in the present, Kako, Kaede, and Konomi soon found the customers have been affected by a Witch's kiss. They track down the witch and kill it.

Konomi thinks that she can be a magical girl because of Kako and Kaede, who she considers close companions. The girls return to the shop for rush hour and they find a long line has formed. Konomi notes that ever since she made a wish, the shop has gotten many young customers. Konomi is grateful she met Kaede and Kako. Konomi thinks back to when the girls first entered the shop.

The remainder of the story is told in a flashback. Kaede and Kako enter the flower shop for the first time. Kako is looking for a flower, which Konomi quickly recognizes. Konomi says she adores making young people happy with their flowers. Afterwards, the girls have tea with Konomi during her break. Kaede asks if it's unusual for her to have young customers. Konomi says it is and has trouble remembering the last time she had one. Kako explains she was looking for flowers she read in a novel, and she never actually went to a flower shop before. Kako says the shop is beautiful and she would like to buy flowers for a friend's birthday. Kaede says she never gave flowers to anyone before, but when someone gave her flowers she got a wonderful feeling. Konomi says she has an idea.

A man walks down a street, saying he won ten thousand yen in the lottery. Konomi suddenly appears, hands him a bouquet of flowers, and leaves. An old man says his life is over. Kaede appears and gives him a present of flowers. When she leaves, the old man wonders if she was a spirit. A boy is happy because he got a girl's number. Kako appears, hands him flowers, and leaves. The boy thought she was going to possess him. Later, the three girls reunite. Kaede says she gave flowers to ten people, while Kako gave flowers to thirteen. Konomi apologizes for making them do this, but Kako says she wanted to show the beauty of flowers to everyone. Kaede says they will work together. Konomi says they'll do this again the day after tomorrow.

People start talking about a rumor where someone suddenly appears and gives you flowers. One day, Konomi, Kaede and Kako meet again to give flowers, but before they leave a girl asks Konomi if she's heard of "The Bursting Flower Girl". The girl says that according to the rumor, a girl hands you flowers that open to reveal mouths. Konomi thinks the story is scary. Kaede mutters it might be a witch, but insists she said nothing. The girl says that the girl in the rumor was sighted in the Shin-Nishi Ward, that she only appears on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and that she gives people a bouquet. Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they're the Bursting Flowers Girls.

Konomi thinks that they've made people hate flowers, and wonders how she can face the florist. Kaede says it's her fault because she gave Konomi the idea. Konomi tells her not to apologize. Suddenly they see a little girl crying. The girl says her mom won't let her buy the "Party Jewelry Set" of toys. Konomi gives the girl a flower, but the girl says she wants a ring. Kako takes the flower and makes a ring out of it. The girl tears up and says it's pretty. Konomi comes to a realization. She narrates that if she wants everyone to like flowers, she should try harder.

Konomi explains that when she saw Kako make a ring, she realized that a gift-giver has to understand the other person's feelings. The girls have just been giving flowers without explaining themselves. Konomi says they can use this as a chance to improve and claims they have to devise a plan to get people to like flowers. Kaede says that Konomi once made a bear-shaped bouquet and thinks it would be more eye-catching than a regular one. Konomi asks if she means flower arrangements. Kaede says yes and that Konomi can make impressive ones. Kako thinks Konomi can arrange flowers that would make young people happy. Konomi decides to make an eye-catching arrangement you can give to someone dear to you. She asks the girls for ideas. Kaede says that when she got a flower gift it was for her birthday. The girls continue discussing.

Konomi and the girls make a birthday cake made of fifty flowers. The cake also has chocolate and candy in it. Kako calls it a feast for the eyes and the stomach. Konomi says she followed Kako's suggestion to make the cake with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_flower birth flowers], so that greetings can be communicated with the language of flowers. Konomi wonders if the cake will work to make people appreciate flowers. Konomi thinks the cakes represent the best collaboration the three of them have made. The girls prepare a fair at the flower shop to show off their cake.

Konomi shows the cake to the florist. However, the florist gives a muted reaction. She says that Komomi can work on her own now and announces she's retiring and will leave Konomi the shop. Konomi says it's suddenly, but the florist says she was thinking about it ever since she got sick. Suddenly Kaede says it's not true, and Kako blurts that the florist has been Witch Kissed. Kaede says to forget they said anything, but Konomi identifies them as magical girls and reveals she's one as well. The three of them team up to track and destroy the witch. Konomi thinks fighting together with friends is reassuring.

The girls return to the shop and starting selling the cakes to customers. The customers enjoy them greatly and eventually a huge line forms. Konomi says they never had this many people before. At the end of the day the girls sold everything. Konomi tells the others that when the florist woke up and saw the shop filled with customers she was really surprised. Konomi gives Kako and Kaede a flower cake as thanks. She says the flowers on the cake are geraniums, which mean "respect", "trust" and "true friendship". Konomi thanks the girls and asks them if they can keep being friends. Kaede thanks her profusely, while Kako says she will cherish this. Konomi narrates that was the beginning of their story together. However, they can't stop because the customers are waiting.

===Costume Stories===
====Winter Outfit====
Konomi has invited [[Kaede Akino]] to go on a walk with her to view the cherry blossom trees in full bloom. She had noticed the trees before and really wanted someone with her who could appreciate them. Kaede thanks her for inviting her along but she soon begins to sneeze. Konomi remembers that the news had said it would be the coldest day of the season so she apologizes for bringing Kaede out in such weather. Kaede tells her not to worry since she’s used to being in the cold since she takes care of the vegetable garden in the early morning. Kaede asks if Konomi isn’t cold but Konomi is used to it since she prefers to take walks in the early morning since there are less people around. Kaede thinks she’ll start walking in the morning so she can enjoy the early flowers blooming as well and suggests they take their walks together in the morning. Konomi asks Kaede what she thinks of basking in the sunshine. Konomi really enjoys long baths and basking in the sun and she feels that Kaede would be the kind of person to enjoy that sort of thing as well. Kaede admits that her grandmother enjoys those kinds of things so she thinks she’ll give it a try as well. Konomi stares at her for a bit before reminding her she’s still only in high school and not a grandmother.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who has been shy since childhood. Feeling that life was painful, she blamed herself for her loneliness. It was her fellow Magical Girls that led her out of this despair. Though she's grown stronger mentally, she still has a timid side.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of electronic ordinance. Its form is an electrocardiogram.
The master of this emotion uses powerful electrical signals to burn the ill will from its target's body, incinerating its personality along with everything else. Though they are horrified by this Doppel's power, they are also tempted to believe that murder such as this is the only way to put an end to all human ill will. This Doppel also has power over both life and death, and, when it appears, the master's body and soul split apart temporarily, leaving her soul meandering in the space between life and death.

===Side Story===
Ren is looking out from a rooftop. Kyubey asks if she's going to waste her wish. Ren says it's different from last time and that she's given up on the world. She thinks about people saying hurtful things and says she can't live in a world like that. Kyubey tells Ren if she repeats her previous actions her Soul Gem will be destroyed. Ren understands.

Somewhere close by, [[Rika Ayano]] defeats a witch and then sees Ren trying to jump off the rooftop. She saves Ren and asks why she wants to jump. Ren can't answer, but thinks about how ever since she was a child, she's had trouble speaking. She thinks about how she was teased and bullied for it. She then chose to end her own life. However, when she jumped from the rooftop the first time she realized she was scared of dying. Kyubey was there to grant her wish, which was to live.

Kyubey explains that the bullying Ren went through was due to a witch. Specifically, witches hurt people, who then go to hurt other people. Ren resolves to destroy witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many witches she defeated, people still acted the same. Ren thinks she needs to destroy all witches, but Kyubey says even if she could it wouldn't remove the malice from people's hearts. Back in the present, Ren thinks this is the reason she wanted to commit suicide again. However, she can't explain a word of it to Rika. Rika then decides to take Ren to meet other magical girls she knows.

Rika takes Ren to a place called "Emiri's Trouble Consultation Office", and greets [[Akira Shinobu]] there. Ren is unable to introduce herself and nearly cries when Akira doesn't seem to care. Rika then introduces Ren to [[Emiri Kisaki]] who is in charge of counseling at the consultation office. Emiri brings Ren to [[Ria Ami]], who gives her hand cream, and [[Konomi Haruna]], who gives Ren chamomile tea. Rika then suggests bringing Ren to the chemistry club, where they meet [[Hinano Miyako]]. Emiri suggests Hinano should make medicine for Ren, but she refuses. Instead she gives Ren candy.

Afterward, the group meets [[Kanoko Yayoi]] at her family's metal factory. Emiri asks Kanoko to show the dress she designed, which she calls a "mushroom thing". Kanoko insists the mushrooms represent mother nature. Emiri asks if Ren thinks this is cool, to which Ren agrees. Rika says that Kanoko aims to be a super fashion designer, and despite her taste in clothes lives without abandoning hope. Kanoko is annoyed that she was chosen to represent those who are positive in the face of struggle. She then gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets.

Emiri then says she has to leave, as [[Sasara Minagi]] is calling her. Rika admits that Emiri didn't actually listen to Ren's problem. Rika then tells Ren the story of how she became a magical girl. She explains she wished for the person she loved to love her back, even though they already liked someone else. Rika claims that she stole that person's love with her selfish wish. Rika then asks Ren if she thinks Rika's a horrible person. Ren is able to admit that she doesn't think so and is surprised to see that Rika is relieved. Ren asks why Rika talked about her wish. Rika says that if you want others to open up you have to talk about the secrets that create distance between people.

Ren tries to tell her story to Rika, but can't get out the words and starts crying. Rika tells Ren not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she's got, and says if all these people were thinking about Ren, then she should continue to live. She says that while the world is filled with bad things, there are also beautiful things as well. Rika says the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says that she will live. A relieved Rika goes to leave, but before she does Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika is able to accept her story, then she'll be able to live forever.

===Costume Stories===
====Casual Outfit====
Ren's school is closed for the day, and by chance she meets Rika while walking. Rika asks Ren why she's not wearing her school uniform. Ren says her school is closed because the university it's affiliated with is using the school's classrooms to hold entrance exams. Rika says Ren is lucky, since she had to go to school that day. Ren notices Rika is acting oddly. Ren asks if Rika is shopping. Rika says she's buying cosmetics. Ren says she went out to by a book. Rika then says Ren's clothes are cute. Ren thinks this is odd because she thinks Rika must have seen the clothes before.

Ren asks Rika if she's said something wrong. Rika says it's something hard to say, but eventually explains that she noticed Ren's collar is inside out. A shocked Ren says she just got it back from the cleaners, and must have attached it the wrong way. Rika says they can fix it in a bathroom. Ren thanks Rika for looking out for her, and thinks she's very considerate. Suddeny Emiri arrives. Rika blurts out that Emiri's shirt is inside out. Ren wonders if Rika is really considerate.
====Winter Clothes====
Ren bumps into [[Aimi Eri]] at the mall. Ren narrates that Aimi gave her some advice on Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, Ren's inability to speak flares up again. Aimi asks how Valentine's went. Ren stutters out that she gave her friends chocolate. Aimi asks if something happened, saying that Ren looks sad. Ren says nothing happened and her friends enjoyed the chocolate. Aimi guesses it was Ren herself who wasn't satisfied with the chocolate. Ren is surprised because Aimi is correct. Ren narrates that the chocolate she made looked gray until she compared it to the fancy chocolate in stores. Aimi guesses Ren's thoughts and says she's felt the same way.

Aimi suggest they practice making chocolate for the next Valentine's Day. Ren thinks that ever since she met Rika, her world has been a little bit kinder, and so she has to gather courage. Stuttering, Ren thanks Aimi. Ren doesn't know if Aimi understood her feelings, but wants to become someone who can return the kindness she has received.
====Swimsuit (2018)====
Ren is invited by Rika to the beach. Ren thinks she can't remember the last time she went there, and accepts the invitation in order to fill another page in her diary. Ren says she'll need a swimsuit, and Rika says Hinano found a new store. The girls go shopping with Hinano and Emiri. An employee mistakes Hinano for a grade schooler, to Hinano's annoyance. Rika thinks Hinano will take some time to find a swimsuit. Ren says she might have trouble herself, and asks Rika for advice. Rika says Ren would looks good in anything since she's so cute and tall.

Emiri says Ren can pick a swimsuit in her favorite color. Ren instantly thinks of a white diary page. Rika says if she was just going off her own taste she would just pick pink. With Rika's help, Ren decides on a white, one-piece swimsuit. (Ren thinks a two-piece swimsuit would be too embarrassing.) When Ren tries it on, Rika says she looks cute and asks her to close her eyes. Rika then changes Ren's hairstyle, which causes a salesperson to exclaim it suits Ren very well, and that she matches Rika. After getting a message on her phone, Rika asks Ren if they should wait outside for Emiri and Hinano.

After leaving the store, the girls order shaved ice. Rika orders strawberry syrup, while Ren takes a clear one. Rika says that she's a strawberry person because she likes pink, and says the ice feels just like strawberries. The clerk points out that they syrup doesn't actually change the flavor of shaved ice. Ren and Rika are shocked, but then start laughing. Rika says that Ren has been smiling more recently. Ren thinks it's because the diary of her heart has been filled by Rika's smile.

==Abilities==

Ren's wish gave her the ability of 'Nirvana' in which she can erase Grief Seeds although it could extend to her having the ability to end lives with little to no pain. Her magical girl form gives her the ability to summon will-o-wisp like entities and send them raining down on an enemy in her Magia - Soul Salvation. She also has the ability to turn the wing on her staff into a Scythe to attack enemies with.

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "50" (五十) and "bells" (鈴) respectively.
==Trivia==
* Her illustator is Sakura Koharu of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QP:flapper QP:flapper].
* On September 15th, 2017, a botched update allowed players to get Ren before she was properly implemented. The developers subsequently decided to officially release Ren with an emergency update.
* Ren has an obvious angel theme, due to her staff, her transformation sequence where she grows angel wings, and the halo of her five star card. This may be due to her wish, as some people believe that their loved ones turn into an angel when they die and go to heaven. It can also refer to when people survive hazardous events that should kill/wound them (such as suicide attempts), they say that they have a 'guardian angel'.
* The way that Ren's kimono is folded, with the right side over the left, is traditionally associated with corpses and ghosts. It is also white, the color belonging to the dead, as the dead are commonly buried in white clothing.
* To date, Ren is the only playable character with two unique memoria cards.
* The Japanese text on the back of the memoria "You Are The Only Truth" is written backwards, hence the backwards English translation.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who is into the latest fashion and make-up. Rika appears to be a typical girly girl, but she is actually very seriously in love. She has been secretly admiring the same person for years. A genuine person, she gets along with everyone.

===Side Story===
Rika is invited to a blind date by [[Emiri Kisaki]]. Emiri brings along [[Hinano Miyako]], who just had her heart broken. During the blind date, the boys makes fun of Hinano's youthful appearance and odd speech patterns. Rika sticks up for Hinano, much to the latter's surprise. (It's also revealed Hinano is actually a third year high school student). After the blind date Rika leaves with Emiri and Hinano. Rika admits that like Hinano she also has a broken heart. Hinano realizes she didn't say anything about that and that Emiri told Rika. Hinano then yells at Emiri for telling people embarrassing things about herself. Emiri and Rika reassure Hinano, and Rika adds that Hinano is cool for being able to confess to her crush. In Rika's case, she never confessed and her crush already has someone.

Emiri then suggests that Rika should make a wish. Emiri reveals that herself and Hinano are magical girls, and that they get one wish. She also tells Rika that magical girls have to fight monsters, but brushes it off as a walk in a park. Rika wonders if this is some sort of game, while Hinano chastises Emiri for speaking about magical girls. Rika wonders if she could wish to change a person's feelings, to which Emiri agrees. Hinano warns Rika against becoming a magical girl, but after some prompting from Emiri, suggests that Rika should wish for something that seems impossible and also to think about the price. After Rika leaves Emiri and Hinano, [[Kyubey]] appears before her and offers her a contract. Rika thinks about what Hinano and Emiri said to her. She then flashes back to how her crush is dating someone. She elects to become a magical girl, mentally apologizing to Hinano.

Rika muses that her wish was granted and is going out with her crush. Yet she still feels unhappy. Kyubey appears and asks Rika if she can explain what's wrong. Rika admits that even though she's happy, every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens. Later, Rika fights a witch and meets two other magical girls [[Ria Ami]] and [[Manaka Kurumi]]. Ria initially thinks Rika has gone berserk, and tells Rika that her fighting style is both dangerous and inelegant. Manaka then points out that Ria didn't have an elegant fighting style either, to Ria's protests. Rika then compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights witches as a form of stress relief.

Later, Kyubey contacts Rika as she fights another witch and tells her that she's fighting dangerously. Rika is annoyed by this, but then sees Hinano is in the barrier. After the battle Rika praises Hinano, who is shocked to find Rika is a magical girl. Hinano also tells Rika her fighting style is too dangerous, and Rika explains again that it's stress relief. Hinano tells Rika to try something else, but Rika says she can't. Hinano then asks Rika why she's unhappy. Rika explains that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she thinks it's all fake. She says that if her crush only likes her because of a magical compulsion, then it might as well be a lie. Hinano then asks why Rika became a magical girl in the first place. Rika explains that if she didn't make a wish she would never have a chance in the first place. When Hinano asks for an explanation, Rika reveals that the person she likes is ''a girl''. Rika asks Hinano if what she said is gross and weird, but Hinano says it's not. Rika wonders how it was so easy to reveal this truth to Hinano.

Rika and Hinano fight together against a witch. Hinano says that Rika is still fighting dangerously, but Rika says she's planning to stop after this. Rika then explains she broke up with her crush. Hinano asks if it was because it was fake love. Rika says that was part of it. She said that for four years she loved her childhood friend, but she remained friends with her. When Kyubey came, Rika admits she should have rejected his contract. She explains that she accepted the contract because when she saw her childhood friend with her new boyfriend, Rika realized that she could never give her friend that same feelings that her boyfriend did. Rika then says that if she breaks up with her friend, then the boyfriend would have a chance.

Rika tells Hinano that her wish caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget about each other, as if they never met in the first place. Rika then explains how the boyfriend helped find Rika's lost ticket at a train station. When this happened, Rika realized the girl she likes and her boyfriend were perfect for each other. Rika explains that she's the one who broke them up, so breaking up with her girlfriend is a way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed that Rika had enough willpower to make that decision. Rika says there's one more thing she needs to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together plants the notebook of Rika's ex-girlfriend in the bag of her ex-boyfriend. They do the same with the boy's notebook and the girl's bag. Seeing the boy and girl meet each other again, Rika says everything is great.

Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and the boy were like the prince and princess of fairy tale, and therefore destined to be together. Rika isn't sure what that makes her, but then decides she's like her friend's love Cupid. Rika is surprised to see that Hinano is crying - unaware she's crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh again, but Hinano says that no-one could laugh at what happened. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her....but then says it's not that way, as Hinano isn't really her type. Rika then starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.

(Rika's story is continued in [[Ren Isuzu]]'s [[Ren_Isuzu#Side_Story|Side Story]].)

===Costume Stories===
====Winter Oufit====
Rika and Emiri arrive at the most popular buffet in town. Already there’s a large gathering of people waiting to be let inside. Seeing the huge crowds only gets the girls more fired up to get in and try all the delicious foods. Rika is a bit cold having to wait outside but Emiri assures her the weather will warm up soon enough and then they’ll be inside before they know it. Rika’s not worried and just thinking about it gets her all fired up again. Hinano and Ren watch as they’re friends keep chattering excitedly. Hinano asks Ren if they aren’t talking about the super-limited winter buffet but with words like “cray-cray” and “explode” mixed into their dialogue she’s not sure what they’re talking about. Ren isn’t so sure either.

Once inside Emiri and Rika flit from table to table drooling at all the delicious foods such as cheese fondue, chocolate fondue and all-you-can-eat crab legs. They continue their dialogue in nothing but heavy slang, with Hinano eventually telling them they should learn to speak with real words and not just made up ones. Rika asks if their language is that crazy while Emiri asks Ren (in heavy slang once more) if she can’t understand them just fine. Ren is momentarily taken aback and has to decipher her words for a minute before she can finally respond and tell them they’re a little hard to follow. Rika is surprised to hear this and agrees to try to tone it down a little. Emiri is also surprised and asks Hinano if she isn’t cray also (implying that the terminology that Hinano uses daily is equally hard to follow). Hinano defends herself saying it’s not “crazy” since they’re normal chemistry books. Rika and Emiri unwittingly slip back into their heavy slang as they talk about the books Hinano is always reading and how smart she must be to be able to understand them. Eventually Hinano gets so frustrated she tells them to stop calling everything crazy since it’s making her crazy trying to follow along. Rika explains that they use the word crazy in a good sense, not to be mean or anything. Hinano finally gets what they were trying to say and sighs. Ren is just glad everything been cleared up somewhat. As Emiri asks HInano to explain what was so frustrating to her, she catches a glimpse of the buffet’s specialty roast beef and immediately says the crazy is here. She and Rika gush over the food once more in heavy slang before rushing off to try some. Ren asks Hinano if she could understand what they were saying that time. Hinano tries to decipher it all but it only makes her feel dizzy and her head hurt. It gets so bad that, after a minute, the two start using the same heavy slang to describe how “crazy” her headache was and how “crazy” those conversations were earlier.

== Powers And Abilities==
Rika has gained the ability to change what her target is interested in as a result of her wish. This ability can be used to re-direct the attention of her enemies onto another person or object or to simply make others interested in her if she desires to get their attention. The limits of this ability aren't exactly known but it seems Rika is able to use this ability to keep any number of people interested with her at any one time.

Within combat, Rika possesses a magical compact mirror that can fire concentrated blasts of energy. She can do these as small energy balls or as a large concentrated beam during her Magia attack, though one can primarily say her primary form of offence is by manipulating amounts of light energy to harm her enemies.

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "a kind of Chinese traditional silk fabric,which normally has diagonal texture on" (綾) and "plain" (野) respectively.
* The characters of her first name mean "pear" (梨) and "flower" (花) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is [https://twitter.com/turu0923 Mashimasaki]
* The Japanese text on the back of the memoria "You Are The Only Truth" is written backwards, hence the backwards English translation.
* Rika is the first confirmed Magical Girl to have a crush on someone of the same gender.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who's struggling to figure out what she can do to make everyone happy. She grew up knowing little of the outside, which is why she tries so hard to keep up with the others. Skilled at finding the good in people, she dislikes no one. Touka and Nemu are her close friends, and Iroha is her sister.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of suffering. Its form is a happy statue. The master of this emotion shares in all the pain of the ones she loves and takes it on as her own. The pain then takes the shape of jewels, which decorate the Doppel and add to its power. However, as the Doppel cannot move, it cannot avoid attacks, and though it carries a sword and shield, they are there for decorative purposes only.

===Side Story===
''The following is a summary posted on 4chan's /pmmm/ general by Summary Anon''

====Part 1====
Ui enjoys school but gets stuck when she has to hand in her assignment on what she wants to be in the future. Unlike Touka and Nemu who respectively have talked with University Dean and Publisher already, she thinks she is not as gifted as them and worries about her future. The feeling is strengthened when she realized her new friend, Riko has decided to inherit her parents' bento shop, and even Tsukasa is thinking of taking over her dad's workshop. While she is counselled by Yachiyo and Iroha that they are also uncertain what they want to do and Ui is being too hasty, Felicia is obviously unhappy as the attention is being taken away.

====Part 2====
Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui and educate her in how to defeat witches, allowing her to score a victory against the witch and being given the grief seed as a reward. Touka and Nemu tag along and congratulate Ui.

As the two leave after giving words of advice and encouragement, Kako, Felicia and Ayame appear and lure Ui to an open field to 'play'. Kako tries to stop the duo but to no avail while Touka and Nemu tagged along since they smell something fishy.

Long story short, Felicia and Ayame are jealous that Ui is taking the attention from their sister away and challenged her to a fight after Touka and Nemu see through their lies that they want Ui to be independent. Ui accepts the challenge to prevent the argument from escalating, but before the fight can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive at the scene.

It seems Sana discovered Felicia was up to no good, so she informed Iroha and came to the scene. After learning everything from Kako, Iroha reprimands the kids on how they have agreed and promise not to use their powers for inner conflicts and also scold Nemu and Touka since she knew they would provoke people. The kids gets a very long lecture from Iroha that lasts from the afternoon to evening, and eventually the kids apologize and make up with a handshake.

Back home, Ui expresses her admiration for her sister and Yachiyo for being able to handle such a situation. Iroha can tell her sister is still troubled, so after some prodding, she had her open up.

Iroha tells Ui that she is aiming to be a nurse, not only because of her experience in taking care of the trio, but also because she respects them for their professionalism and kind heart. She informs Ui that she used to dream of becoming a baker, police etc. since she admires how hard and serious they take their job.

She concludes that experiences shape a person, and Ui should not have such a low self esteem, and should instead experience the world more where she will eventually find her dream from these experiences. Ui is comforted by her sister and gave her heartfelt thanks.

====Part 3====
Ui heads back to the hospital she stayed at and recalls how she became friends with Touka and Nemu. When they first meet, Touka liked to provoke and insult people as she looks down on them while Nemu cried when things didn't go her way. Ui experienced the blunt of their antics.

But as they became closer, both changed for the better, Touka became gentler and more thoughtful while Nemu learned to accept other people's opinion. Things changed better when Iroha could visit on her own as she entered Middle school.

As she get lost in her memories, she sees her doctor and the two catch up. The doctor is so touched Ui can think of the future that she cried tears of joy, and tells Ui what she should do is take in deeper breaths and enjoy life for now and not hurry.

Ui informs the doctor that Touka and Nemu have already found their goal in life, and thus she also wants to follow up. The doctor advised Ui to think of something she likes since some choose their interest for a career.

Ui thinks hard and realized she loves the choir since its success depends greatly on group effort and songs as it moves people. The doctor continues to prod Ui and how she wants to express this interest, and she realizes she wants to be a music teacher.

She shares this with her family and friends, and will work hard for this future.

===Costume Stories===
====Swimsuit (2019)====

====New Year's Haregi====

==In-game==
Ui originally only appeared in Iroha's flashbacks, where she is seen staying in the hospital with [[Hiiragi Nemu]] and [[Satomi Touka]]. She also made a short appearance during the game's prologue, where she appears before Homura to tell her to come to [[Kamihama City]], in which magical girls can be saved.

Ui makes her debut in chapter 10 in which it is revealed that she is the Embryo Eve that Magius is using in order to defeat Walpurgisnacht and generate enough energy for Magius to unleash their doppel system on the world. Told in flashbacks, it was shown that Ui, Touka, and Nemu each wished for a different part of Kyubey's powers in order to save Iroha from her fate of becoming a witch. Due to Ui's wish to be able to absorb all of the world's despair, she began to drown in despair, passively collecting too much impurities and was in imminent danger of becoming a witch immediately after contracting. Touka and Nemu were not able to transform the energy Ui absorbed fast enough when Alina appeared. She conjured a barrier capable of blocking out the despair that Ui was absorbing and saved her for the time being. Nemu and Touka then decided to transfer Ui's consciousness into that of the now small Kyubey until they can figure out a way to save her. Due to this, everyone in the world forgot who Ui was, including her sister Iroha, Touka and Nemu, until they touched the small Kyubey bearing her memories. During this time, Alina twisted Magius' plans towards chaos as Ui's inert body slowly transformed into a witch's. After battling Shitori Egumo, the witch form of Ui let loose upon the city of Kamihama to battle the impending Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Touka were able to free Ui's inert body from the Soul Gem on Shitori Egumo and were able to transfer her mind back into her original body's. Alina then took over the now empty body of Shitori Egumo using the Christmas Rumor and attempted to destroy the city. The surrounding magical girls were able to defeat Alina. The small Kyubey then merged with the body of Shitori Egumo in order to spare Ui, since it still contained a copy of her memories. Using her powers of absorption, Ui was able to gather the spent energy from all of the surrounding magical girls, which Touka then transformed into pure energy and Yachiyo added the gathered hope of all the magical girls, transforming that into a weapon. Iroha launched the weapon at Walpurgisnacht, ultimately saving her sister and the day.

Due to her wish to take the power to [harvest] from Kyubey, Ui has the power of the collection of curses, being capable of harvesting the impurities from other magical girls. However, as Ui's wish was to be able to absorb all of the world's despair, she passively collects too much impurities and was in imminent danger of becoming a witch immediately after contracting, to the point that Touka and Nemu were not able to transform the energy Ui absorbed fast enough when Alina appeared.

Ui's weapon is a kite, however, as Magia Archive elaborates that the 'kite' is actually her personal magic circle, shaped like a swallow, that she flies out.

Ui's Doppel Shitori Egumo manifests as a sacrificial figure shackled to a Greek-style pillar. She shares in all the pain of the ones she loves and takes it on as her own. The pain then takes the shape of jewels, which decorate the Doppel and add to its power. When the hardships received exceed limit, the power reverses to happiness. However, as the Doppel cannot move, it cannot avoid attacks, and though it carries a sword and shield, they are there for decorative purposes only.

==Etymology==
* The character of her last name means "ring" (環)
** This is in comparison to Madoka which can be written as "circle" or "round" in kanji (円).
* Her given name comes from a line of the Japanese poem ''Iroha'', from which her sister also takes her name: "Ui no okoyama" (有為の奥山), which translates to "the deep mountains of karma"; here, "ui" is a modification of the Japanese word "uwi", which itself comes from a Buddhist term meaning "karma". Thus, the line refers to a great accumulation of karma.
* Her magia is Italian for "The light of hope"

== Trivia ==
* Her weapon, Swallow-shaped magic kites appear to be portions of {{spoiler|Embryo Eve}}'s Magic Seal. The detail about the Magic Seal is unknown as it appears only in Prologue movie.
* By the time of the "[[Magia Record Story Angels on the Road ~Reindeer Santa Prospering Season~|Angels on the Road ~Reindeer Santa Prospering Season~]]" event, Ui is part of [[Sayuki Fumino]]'s fanclub, having one of her songs as a ringtone, thanks to Rena's suggestion.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl with extraordinary potential who lives in Mitakihara with her parents and younger brother. She is a second year at Mitakihara Middle School. Gentle and caring, she is always surrounded by friends. She uses a bow and arrow in battle.

===Side Story===
Madoka and [[Homura Akemi]] arrive in [[Kamihama City]]. They decide to go to a shrine Madoka saw in a magazine. However, the two are stopped when they sense a witch. The girls head into the barrier and find a magical girl fighting it. Before they can help, the witch escapes and the barrier vanishes. Madoka and Homura go up to the girl and asks if she's alright. The girl says not to worry and leaves. Madoka apologizes to Homura and runs off to look for the magical girl.

Elsewhere, the magical girl feels tired as she used too much magic. Madoka appears and tells her to rest, offering to take her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy the girl a drink. She asks for iced tea, which prompts Homura to appear and offer to buy it. Homura says she'll gladly do it for Madoka. The magical girl thanks Madoka for helping her, and introduces herself as [[Shizuku Hozumi]]. She asks why Madoka came to help. Madoka says it's because Shizuku looked like she was in pain and that she randomly decided to help. Shizuku says Madoka is a kind persona and tells her not to worry. Madoka says it's bad to be alone, since if you're alone there's no one who can help you bear painful things.

Shizuku says it's fine even if she's alone, and she'll find a place where she'll belong. Madoka says that as things are, it will always remain painful. Shizuku says that Madoka is trying to help her even if she's a stranger. Madoka humbly dismisses Shizuku's compliments, and then realizes Shizuku herself could create her own place to belong. Homura then returns with drinks. Afterward, Shizuku asks Madoka why she became a magical girl. Madoka says she wants to be useful to someone, as she doesn't have a subject or talent she's good at. She became a magical girl to change that about herself, and that's why she was glad to help Shizuku. Shizuku thinks that Madoka made a place where she belonged by becoming a magical girl, and thinks she could do the same someday. She then thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves. Madoka thinks she's lucky to fight alongside the people that are important to her, and goes off with Homura.

Madoka makes an offering to a shrine, praying for everyone's happiness, health, and the ability for her to protect everyone. It then starts raining, leaving Madoka wet when it stops. A girl offers Madoka a handkerchief and explains they just missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book called "Waltz of the [[wikipedia:Maneki-neko|Maneki-neko]]", which is a book she likes. The other girl admits it's her favorite book. Madoka introduces herself to the girl, who says her name is [[Kako Natsume]]. The two spend the time talking about the book, eventually going their separate ways.

Madoka goes to a bookstore at the shopping mall and buys "Tango of the Maneki-neko", the sequel to the book she talked about with Kako. Kako herself is in the bookstore, to Madoka's surprise. Kako asks Madoka if she's a magical girl, saying she saw Madoka's Soul Gem ring. She reveals she is one as well. Madoka thinks this must be the Maneki-neko's work. Later, Kako invites Madoka to come on a night-time adventure at her school. The next week, Kako and Madoka meet at the school, preparing to go to the roof. As they try to go inside, the girls are startled by a cat.

Kako says they can't seem to enter the school, so instead she suggests transforming and using their powers to hop to the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look up at the starry sky. Kako explains that on this day of the year "you can see the most beautiful stars". She says she learned that from "Waltz of the Maneki-neko". Kako claims the school rooftop is the best place to watch the stars. Madoka thanks Kako. Kako admits she's shy and has trouble talking to people, but somehow she can talk properly to Madoka. Kako says this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says that Kako's honest feelings got through to her. The girls affirm their friendship.

Sometime later, Madoka and [[Mami Tomoe]] fight a witch. Madoka sees a normal person was kidnapped by the witch and brought into her barrier. Mami tells Madoka to bring the person out of there while she handles the witch. A magical girl appears and says she's impressed that Madoka's helping people. She introduces herself as [[Sasara Minagi]], "the 'knight' who protects this city". Sasara says to be precise she's a knight that protects everyone, and asks Madoka to leave saving the victim to her. She points out Madoka can then go help her own friend fight the witch. Madoka agrees and returns to help Mami. Together, they defeat the witch.

The barrier vanishes and the duo meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she brought the victim to the hospital. Madoka thanks her, and Sasara says her and Mami are quite strong. Sasara says they can call her if they're in trouble. She says that rescuing people is her specialty, and wonders if it would be easier to say she's a magical girl rescue worker. She says that protecting everyone is her creed, though admits that when she says it like that, it's embarrassing. Madoka says she's cool. Sasara says she happy to meet magical girls like Mami and Madoka. She explains that with Kamihama having more witches, more magical girls have come to fight them - but they only care about fighting witches, not saving people. Sasara says she wanted to become a knight because she can't accept people being sacrificed in the process of defeating witches.

Mami agrees with Sasara's opinion. Sasara admits she knew there were people who thought the same way, but almost never met any. Madoka says she became a magical girl to help people and says she's like Sasara herself. Sasara says Madoka is an incredible magical girl. Mami says Madoka might be [[Madoka_Magica_Episode_12:_My_Best_Friend|the strongest magical girl someday]]...but she has a long way to go. Sasara says both girls are worthy of taking the title of "knight". When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara says they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up with them, but Madoka and Mami point out they're not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help Sasara if she's in trouble and they're in Kamihama. Sasara thanks them and departs.

Afterward, Mami says that Madoka is too kind and too honest. She wonders if Madoka is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami is walking the same path. She says she aspired to be like Mami, who is her ideal magical girl. Mami thanks Madoka but tells her if she's truly in danger it's better to run away. Madoka says it's fine, because [[The_Rebellion_Story|she doesn't have the courage to sacrifice herself]]. Mami invites Madoka for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates how she wants to protect everyone with her own power.

===Costume Stories===
====Winter Outfit====

====Swimsuit (2018)====
While watching evening fireworks on the beach, Madoka and company run into some other magical girls and decide to watch fireworks together. Madoka, [[Ren Isuzu]] and [[Kyoko Sakura]] pick out fireworks. Madoka then goes over to Homura and asks if she's tired. Homura says she never thought she would set fireworks with so many people, and says she's very happy. Madoka agrees, and says she wishes it could last forever. Madoka then says that eventually the fireworks will run out and they'll be too tired to play, so they should all enjoy the present. Homura agrees.

Elsewhere, [[Hinano Miyako]] scolds [[Emiri Kisaki]] for pointing fireworks at other people. Emiri says they have too much energy and accidentally let's one off. The firework nearly hits [[Sayaka Miki]]. Mami runs over to see if she's ok. Madoka and Homura chuckle on seeing this. Madoka says they should set off their own fireworks and proceed to do so. The girls say the fireworks are pretty.

==Summary==
A straightforward Magical Girl with a strong sense of justice. She is a dear friend of Madoka and looks up to her Magical Girl senpai, Mami, whose fighting style of mass-conjuring weapons resembles her own. She used to visit her childhood friend Kyosuke in the hospital often.

===Side Story===
Sayaka arrives at [[Kamihama City]] to go shopping with [[Kyousuke Kamijou]]. Sayaka insists it's not a date - Kyousuke is looking for a CD by one of his favorite violinists, while Sayaka is looking for fancy clothes (or something). Suddenly Sayaka hears a scream. Wondering if it's a witch, she runs towards it and finds herself in an empty elementary school. Finding it empty, she hears groaning and comes across [[Hinano Miyako]]. Sayaka asks if she's alrght, and Hinano says she is. The girls introduce themselves. Hinano explains she got bumped on the back of the head while setting things up for the chemistry lab. Hinano suspects the culprit is still around.

Sayaka decides that "Great Detective Sayaka-chan" will help. Sayaka gives a faux case summary and asks Hinano if anyone else was around. Hinano says today's an off day so there aren't any teachers or students around, and the kids who would come to the lab wouldn't be here so early. Hinano wonders if it's a witch, then tells Sayaka she's just talking to herself. Sayaka asks if Hinano is a magical girl, and reveals she's one herself. Hinano says she didn't detect a witch's presence. Sayaka agrees, and said that she only ran to the school because she only thought a witch could be there when she heard screaming.

Hinano wonders if the witch hit her and ran. Sayaka says the door was closed when she got there, and Hinano says it should have been closed the whole time she was preparing in the lab. Hinano asks the "Magical Detective" what she think happened. Sayaka thinks the culprit must have entered through the room's window, since it was on the first floor. Sayaka notes that when she came in the curtains were fluttering. Sayaka figures that the culprit has already escaped, so catching them will be difficult. Hinano says that they have a lead, and with her scientific expertise she's going to shoot fire.

Hinano uses a blacklight to show the footprints left on the floor. Turning off the light reveals many footprints. Hinano says she knows what the footprints of the school's indoor shoes are, and the ones that don't match the others belong to the culprit. They find some footprints that don't match, but Sayaka points out it could belong to a teacher. Suddenly she sees a strange mark on the floor. After seeing where the mark leads to, Sayaka starts laughing and says she's cracked the case.

The culprit is...a baseball. Sayaka explains that after the baseball hit Hinano it left a mark on the floor and rolled into the corner of the room. Sayaka guesses it came from the baseball club that is out practicing on the playing field, pointing out that they can hear the children's voices. Sayaka also says that the room is directly facing the playing field and it must have entered through the window after a kid hit it. Suddenly a child enters the room and asks for the ball back. Hinano returns it and tells the kid to be careful from now on. Sayaka says both Hinano and the child are so mature even though they both look like grade school students. Hinano asks if Sayaka said something, but Sayaka denies it.

With the case solved, Sayaka decides to head back. She says that she plans on shopping and trying on some Western-style clothes the next day. Hinano asks if Sayaka is going on a date, but Sayaka insists it isn't. Disbelieving her, Hinano gives her a gift and uses her chemicals to make Sayaka a perfume. She wishes Sayaka good luck on her date, though Sayaka insists it isn't. Sayaka narrates that something unexpectedly cool happened because she helped someone out. She then narrates that "Magical Detective Sayaka-chan" can solve any problem.

Having arrived in the shopping district, Sayaka goes clothes shopping but can't pick something to buy. Suddenly [[Emiri Kisaki]] comes by, having smelled the perfume Sayaka was given by Hinano. Thinking Sayaka is Hinano, Emiri is surprised to find someone else. When Emiri explains she smelled Hinano's perfumes, Sayaka says she's met her a little while ago. Emiri says she has a "unique relationship" with Hinano, but then says she's just joking. Sayaka says the mystery is solved, and explains she was just letting out her inner detective.

Sayaka then says she has to get back to shopping. Emiri asks if she's looking for dating attire, claiming to have learned that because she's super-perceptive. Sayaka insists it's not actually a date, but Emiri barely listens. Claiming to be the "Cutest in the World", Emiri declares she will coordinate Sayaka's wardrobe. Sayaka points out they didn't introduce themselves yet. She soon learns that Emiri is also a magical girl. Sayaka says it's unusual to meet two in one day, but Emiri says there's tons of magical girls in Kamihama.

Emiri shows Sayaka clothing with the year's new color: "Salmon Pink". She calls it the fashion of little devils. Sayaka thinks pink doesn't look good on her. Emiri thinks she's wrong and has her try on pink accessories. Sayaka says she'd like a more subdued outfit. Emiri then shows her another outfit. When Sayaka says it's just more Sweet Pink, Emiri insists it's the more adultlike "Bitter Pink". Sayaka doesn't understand the difference. Emiri tells her to try it on, claiming the path to Cuteness is a trying one. Sayaka says it's too trying.

Despite all the things Sayaka tries on, she's not satisfied. Sayaka decides that cute just isn't her thing. Emiri insists it's not true. Sayaka said that she's happy Emiri is telling her nice things, but if she can't get into it she'll just be uncomfortable during her date. Sayaka also says that the person she likes doesn't care about clothing or appearances. Sayaka says she believes they prefer to see people for who they are on the inside. Emiri says that person sounds nice. Sayaka says he's also a music-loving nerd, but that part of him is cool. Emiri says that "Lovely-dovey Sayakyan is so Cyuute!"

Emiri decides to take Sayaka to a special place, explaining that the location of the date is important. She claims this location will make guys fall head-over-heels in love. Emiri takes Sayaka to the top of a tower. Before they reach it, Emiri tells Sayaka to close her eyes. When they finally reach the spot, Emiri tells Sayaka to open her eyes and turn around. Sayaka sees a beautiful view of the city at night. Emiri calls it the number one spot in Kamihama. Sayaka agrees. Emiri says that her guy will have to fall in love with her if she takes him to this spot. Sayaka says she wants to see it with him even if he doesn't fall in love with her.

Sayaka thanks Emiri, and Emiri says Sayaka is pure and wishes her good luck. She says that Sayaka's cuteness is "up to standards". Sayaka says she'll try her hardest. Suddenly she realizes it's late and says she has to head back. Emiri offers to take her back to the train station, claiming that an adorable lady requires an escort. The girls leave. Sayaka narrates that the perfume she got led her to another encounter where she was told about a beautiful place. Sayaka says that with her love supported by the magical girls of Kamihama she'll do her best. She still insists it wasn't anything like a date.

The day of Sayaka's "date" with Kyosuke has arrived. Sayaka narrates that after they bought a CD and walked around for a bit, she got a message from Kyosuke. He says that the train is running late, and it'll take him an hour to get to where Sayaka is. Sayaka tells him not to worry and wonders what she will do for an hour. Suddenly she senses a witch and decides to fight it. Sayaka enters the barrier at the same time as another magical girl, who introduces herself as [[Kokoro Awane]]. Sayaka admits she's relieved to have help, since she usually fights with her friends. Kokoro says the same is true for her.

The girls defeat the witch. Sayaka gives Kokoro the Grief Seed, saying that she had to defeat the witch anyway before she could meet with her precious person. Sayaka claims the Grief Seed is her way of thanking Kokoro. Sayaka then admits she still has an hour to kill. Kokoro then invites Sayaka for tea, as thanks for the Grief Seed. Sayaka jokes she'll order something expensive. At the cafe, Sayaka tells Kokoro that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loved. Kokoro says she's shocked to hear that. Sayaka says she sometimes wondered if things would be okay, but when she saw Kyosuke play the violin she felt that everything was how it should be. Kokoro asks if Sayaka is meeting the person she made a wish for today. When Sayaka says they're buying a violin CD, Kokoro says Sayaka has a deep love for music and tells her to do her best.

Sayaka asks Kokoro what she wished for. Kokoro says she wished to bring her family together again, so they could live happily. However, Kokoro admits she probably isn't happy because even after bringing her family back together there were still problems. Kokoro says that in the past she used to worry about it and wondered if her wish was a mistake. However, she claims to be fine with it now and that she already said goodbye to that past self of her. Kokoro says that she won't let her wish be in vain and that she will bring her family's hearts together. Sayaka says Kokoro is strong, but Kokoro says she spent most of her time sulking until recently. Kokoro says she decided to start thinking positive, and Sayaka says after hearing that she feels like she can think more positively herself.

Sayaka says that one can change a person's heart with their own power. Kokoro says that's what she believes in. Sayaka says she'll treasure her wish and believe in herself. Kokoro tells Sayaka to make her date a success. Suddenly Sayaka gets another message from Kyosuke, saying he'll be there soon. Sayaka says she should get going, and that someday soon her and Kokoro should go for tea again. Kokoro agrees, and then comments on Sayaka's perfume. Sayaka explains where it came from, and Kokoro says it'll "level up" her "first impression stat". Sayaka points out that Kyosuke's only passion is music.

Kokoro then asks what Sayaka will do after buying the CD with Kyosuke. Sayaka tells her about the spot Emiri told her about. Kokoro says that sounds beautiful. Sayaka then says she has to leave to see Kyosuke. Kokoro says it will work out, and that any boy Sayaka meets will fall head-over-heels for her. A disbelieving Sayaka says that would be nice. She then bids Kokoro goodbye and runs to the station. Sayaka feels like she's going to have a good day today. She's surprised to see her magical girl life has turned out this way.
